For me, it depends a lot on what type of story I'm trying to write. Most of the time, I just copy the rough type of world I've seen elsewhere in settings similar to what I want and then make up details as I go. However, there are some story types where I have to build the world much earlier in...

I gained readers the fastest when I was publishing chapters every day.

I'd argue, that Authors are deities. Our worlds just aren't very alive, and have trouble living on their own.

A single sneeze was all it took... A startled finger twitch... A trigger pulled just a little too hard... *Bang* The stand off ended. "I'm sorry. I'm the one who sneezed. I've got allergies. It's not my fault. It's the tree's fault for blooming at this time!" "See! I totally deserve credit...

It's pretty easy/simple for a suicidal person to be lazy, and is actually a combination that fits well, as a well motivated suicidal person won't live long. Put simply: A lazy and suicidal person won't spend effort to save themselves, but if living is easier than dying, they'll probably just...

I was enjoying a lot of very badly written translated works. This made me realize: If I set my bar that low, I might actually reach it, and it's clearly enough for people to enjoy, since I was enjoying it, and someone else enjoyed it enough to bother translating it. So, I started writing, and...

Well, that's kinda a spoiler for the game...

Whether it becomes a Matriarchy or not would depend a lot on how much people care about blood relations. In a society where possessions, titles, and responsibilities are passed down from parents to children, then tracking bloodlines through mothers, and not fathers, would likely result in a...

I feel a need to point to: The Lazy King Of note: The majority of the story is actually about the people around the main character, because an incarnation of Sloth just doesn't do much. The story tells the reader about the main character, through stories about the people who's lives have been...

I feel like successfully making a truly terrible main character, without also making a terrible story to accompany it, would result in the intended main character not actually being the main character. Instead of a story about a hero saving the day, it'd be about how the hero's companion somehow...

There was a game once that really amazed me by doing exactly this. The villain explained throughout the game, that victory was impossible. However, it was a hero saves the day story, so when the hero insisted they'd find a way, I just assumed they would. Then at the end, when the villain won, I...

We'd probably end up just playing games together at either my place, or their place. Preferably something co-op. (I'm not much for going out)

It occurs to me that low level retail managers are also a great position for mundane 'villainy': All those customers who demand to see a manager? It's often the manager's job to tell them, they can't have whatever unreasonable demand they want. Managers don't have to be nice about it either...

The longest thing I've read was Library of Heaven's Path. I lost interest around chapter 1,800. From what I can tell, the main issue is that a single story just can't last too long without excessive repetition, and that means the alternative is stringing multiple stories together by having the...

Land Owner: You'd be the ruler of your little plot of land. So long as there is at least one renter, they are your subject. Even if it's just storage space being rented, if there's a renter, there's someone who needs to listen to you or risk losing the right to rent. Edit: Being a manager for...

I don't have a job, so... I guess I've gone "pro" whenever I get enough money to call it a job instead of just a thing I do.

Just did a check on one of my stories and was amused by what I saw:

I don't think I'm shady. I can do darkness, and I can do light, but I'm no good at shadow.

... one of my stories actually is a game. Except it's only half done, and I've since given up on finishing it. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1103GI-AhF7R-JO5MUEES33gkNYA9ZPtc It's RPG maker VX Ace, and requires the RTP https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/download/additional/run-time-packages I...
