    Hypothetical Scenario??

    Chemistry would more than likely still work. We must assume a handful of facts. 1, mana is solely in the air. It does not exist within other matter. This would mean it's part of the atmosphere - that is, it's effectively in a gaseous state or is replacing wild/roaming/free electrons in the...

    Hypothetical Scenario??

    older guns aren't kinetic. They're chemical that produce kinetic. So chemical energy reactions work, but electrical reactions don't? Also, gas stoves usually have electrical failsafes that wouldn't work, but the actual "burn gas -> produce heat" should still work since gunpowder still burns...

    How to write good dialogue between characters?

    Dialogue is only part of the message. IRL, only about 30% of what you say is what you say. Around 30% is how you say it and around 40% is what you're doing while you say it (body language). You have to consider this when writing character dialogue. This can make it feel more realistic. One of...

    Is plot armor actually that bad?

    Well, I had planned that the entity was just a force, rather than an actual spirit. So the people would still feel like it was their choice, BUT they'd wonder why they felt that way. like one of those "I know it was my choice, but WHY did I choose that? It made sense at the time..." type...

    Is plot armor actually that bad?

    I've been working on and off to write a story that changes the MC, but at the same time, the actual Mc remains constant. That is to say, the actual MC is a Death Entity that possesses humans, goes on a murderous rampage, and when they get the death sentence, it leaves and finds a new host. The...

    Why so wishy washy with JP banishment?

    yup, I'd be more than happy to have the banisher just be like "You're out. Go." Instead of a three hour monologue about how they were born in a poor family, watched their mom suffer as a single mother working 5 jobs while battling an unknown illness and somehow that's all MCs fault. Like, just...

    Why so wishy washy with JP banishment?

    plot armor. If I kill the MC, there's no story. If I banish them, then the story can happen. and yeah, Arifureta was nice in that change - the MC was a victim of a fail murder attempt. That said, if EVERY story did that, then we'd be having the conversation right now of "Why do ALL antagonists...

    Can someone review my books?

    I take it you're fairly new here. I didn't see your reply, since it doesn't automatically follow threads you reply to - You'd have to reply, quote, or @ mention me for me to be notified. But that's fine, we all start somewhere. Onto the series homepages. To catch a YANDERE: The synopsis is...

    Ai cover is the same as no cover

    far from perfect, but I use both AI and HS2. Honey Select 2 (HS2) can be a little intensive for the PC, but it's better quality than 90% of AI. I've offered making covers, but no one has taken me up on it yet. :blob_teary: as I said, they're far from perfect, but they're free and non-AI. there...

    Can someone review my books?

    Can you post links? I'll give a brief overview. Not sure if I'll read, as I'm rather picky as a reader.

    Every Fanfic is Wish-Fulfillment.

    This is why I'm trying to build my following on multiple sites. Here, Bsky, deviantart, and subscribestar. I was using X, but got perma-banned.

    provided they can find a buyer. Even if a potential buyer likes the content, they may not like the style. That's the issue.

    Every Fanfic is Wish-Fulfillment.

    when it comes to smut, there's never enough. the common "taboo" fetishes still want more. That's why they remain popular and why Furry artists are still making bank if they're even just half decent.

    Every Fanfic is Wish-Fulfillment.

    You've also got to weigh it against the demand side as well. There's far more demand for incest. So, as an author, if I write an incest novel, I'm competing with more authors. however, I'm also standing in front of more of an audience. If I write a necro novel, I'm standing beside considerably...

    Every Fanfic is Wish-Fulfillment.

    Foot fetish, while hated, isn't considered a "taboo" fetish. Same with BDSM. Which is what I was restricting my list to. Things that are considered "wrong", not just "weird". And yeah, I'm sorry for destroying that bit of your innocence. :blobthumbsup:
