I very much approve of both of those futures.

Aww, sorry to hear that. Me and my friend DiabloOtter have been wondering if something had happened to you.

I don't know who they are, but I welcome anyone who write about similar themes like mine!

Well said. There's nothing quite like self-depreciation and doubt, no matter how good of a writer you are.

I am way too afraid to get crushed by someone roasting my story to shreds to dare put it up here for scrutiny. You are a brave one, to do so.

If you use third person limited and show everything going on in the head of smart/genius characters, the reader might end up feeling like those people aren't that smart. Because the inner workings of geniuses is hard to follow, filled with doubts, questions and over-analyis. Leaps of logic...

In The Wandering Inn, it's mostly written in 3rd limited. But then Ryoka's chapters switch up to 1st person every so often. But even Ryoka's chapters use limited 3rd when it's more external action or interraction with others. Personally I use limited 3rd with Free Indirect Speech, which...

My cast is a party of gamers in a VRMMO: Elyssia, wind sylvani martial artist. Tank. Pro gamer. Hates questing. Loves raids, Battles. Kaelyn, half-blood felinae priestess. Healer. Plays the game to mostly manipulate other players and experiment with social dynamics. Leoric, noble burrovian...

ChatGPT defaults to motivational style feedback, and will try to balance quality and weakness so it doesn't come as mean. You can tell it to stop pulling its punches, or you can ask it to be gentle. You can be self-depreciating and sarcastic, and it will remind you about the things you are...

My neurodivergent–autistic with high potential–brain just cannot get enough of em-dashes. I use them. A lot. (Not to confuse with the mythical alot, for those of us who remember hyperbole and a half) There. The neurodivergent writing style, demonstrated! xD

Can we officially sign up under one of their banner? I'm on team Corty. Heterochromia isn't my thing, normally, but I will do an exception for this avatar.

I mean, look at the story in their signature. Vampires in half of them, at least!

I mean, I immediately recognised it, because I adore Pinchcliffe, but... This video does a good job of showing it in action

Well, The Lion King is most likely a ripoff of Kimba the Lion, a Japanese Anime and Manga. Star Wars: The Phantom Menace's pod-racing scene is a rip-off of one of my favourite movie of all time: Pinchcliffe Grand Prix, a Norwegian stop-motion movie by the Caprino Brothers. Original ideas are...

I am super satisfied with Battle Angel Alita's movie adaptation. It's not 100% accurate, but it kept the heart. And that's what's mattered. Generally I prefer any stories told in the original format, but I often discover them via some other format. A lot of anime lead me to read the novels...

ProWritingAid really hates the passive voice. (Or is good at spotting its use). I do think I improved as a writer by thinking of how to turn sentence to active form. "The software was designed to..." vs "The designers created the software to..."

The short of it? Earth, dystopian near future. 4 different flavours of transgender protagonists all join a VRMMO, meet up, learn about themselves.. And then the AI-gods in charge of the game decide to move to the next of their plan to make humanity happier: turning the player's RL body into...

Would still recommend Twelve Kingdoms over anything else, though. Such a breath of fresh air to have a dark and realistic isekai where things really go poorly for the MC. Basically have to imagine Goblin Slayer's first episode.. (well, no goblins or rape, but the helplessness and such works...

A shame they condensed the 2/3 later half from 26 to 13 episodes. So after the middle point, it all feels a bit rushed. Still amazing despite that.

Escaflowne has aged like fine wine. It's still excellent, if you can endure the pointy noses. Excellent music, a few of the best villains of all time. Falcon and Dilandau...!
