    Do I apply the content warnings?

    If it's exactly one instance, and it's something like that, it would have to be a pretty darn up-tight person to get offended over that. It would get a PG rating out of national broadcast standards and would not trip a Youtube de-boosting flag, so I'd say it passes muster for not needing a tag...

    Classes for LitRPG?

    The average life expectancy is 72. I think if someone has lived longer than that and also died while preserving their mobility enough to wipe their ass, and died of natural causes, it defeats your totalist argument. The other option would be to be an immortal, in which case that also would be...

    Story Idea for any taker

    Honestly, most people who are writers have about 5 different ideas for stories in their heads at all times that they have on the back-burner because chasing every idea they have will allow them to get none of them actually done. If you want to see this story, you're gonna have to write it...

    Classes for LitRPG?

    Seems like a pretty significantly sized sample considering it consists of all 3 of my no-longer-living grandparents, and my 4th living grandparent is also still in possession of quite a bit of her mobility, although she's declining. She has a chance of being the 1st in the family to need it...

    Classes for LitRPG?

    That's only if you have a degeneration in mobility. There are plenty of elderly out there who maintain a good portion of their mobility up to the point of death by old age. However, working in a nursing home, I can see where your bias on this issue might come from. But, it is a bias. You, right...

    Do I apply the content warnings?

    For the most part, this is what I think is within the bounds of what's appropriate. Profanity: Use this tag if characters use any word at all you wouldn't want a 6-year-old to hear. Gore: This term involves anything other than blood that's supposed to be on the inside getting exposed to the...

    The Waffle House has found its new host

    This article is missing one crucial piece of information. When was this trend started? It sounds rather biased to me if it's going on about how the trend will eventually burn itself out, but doesn't make any mention of how long it's lasted so far. EDIT: Also, what's it talking about this not...

    Do I write too much?

    Rather than writing too much, I think maybe it might be more an issue of whether or not your plotting is pacing the story well. I my Key to the Void series, I am writing a single continuous story that is now up to 262K words. However, I have that divided into 3 volumes that are around 80-90K...

    Which are better, pirate's or Ninja's?

    That was a myth that started thanks to the existence of the Iga and Koka clans. These were clans that were known for their ninjas, thus got referred to as "ninja clans," but they were nothing like the mythologized ninja villages portrayed in the likes of Naruto and such. The Iga especially were...

    Which are better, pirate's or Ninja's?

    Historically, ninjas were just spies. The CIA would be the modern-day equivalent of the ninja. For pirates, they were just sailors who resorted to banditry. They did not have a good life at all. As such, the correct answer is Vikings. Historical Vikings have all the glorious points of pirates...

    Writing fantasy novel for the first time

    Not sure what genre you typically write, but in fantasy systems, you still have 2 more essential steps for the preparatory phase. You need to figure out your world-building (what kind of fantasy creatures are around, how does the fantasy magic interact with the politics and daily life in the...

    Favourite hybrid species in fantasy stories

    Not a single one of those are hybrids though. Every one of them are the spirit or incarnation, meaning it's not combined with anything. Dryads = spirit of a tree. Nereids = spirit of a body of water Elementals = an apparition, embodiment, or incarnation of an element In my case, I tend to...

    Plot devices in stories that causes one to frown?

    Contrived situations to create a damsel in distress scenario. The worst for me was that bit in Dan Machi where they have the whole stone that can absorb the soul of a fox girl, and only a fox girl, and they happen to have the fox girl there who just so happens to have a power that would make...

    First web novel you've finished reading

    Technically speaking, there is no SAO web novel. It went straight to lite novel, and later had a web upload version. It was written back in the early 2000s before the web novel scene was a thing, so, it sorta makes sense it would turn out that way.

    Readers vs Views

    I know of exactly 2 people I've seen who have a patreon with more than 20 chapters ahead. The biggest writers with the largest patreons all seem to be around 15-20 chapters ahead on their patreon.

    First web novel you've finished reading

    Might want to specify here. By "finishing a webnovel," do you mean getting current with it, or actually finishing it? The difference is that the former means you've read everything the author has written on the story, and the latter means you have read everything the author has written on the...

    What are some songs that tell a clear story?

    I could remember a few more off the top of my head, and I'm sure I have quite a few more if I really put my mind to it. There are quite a few out there, especially in Country and in older music. Also, it's not an individual song, but if you listen to all the songs in Linkin Park's Meteora...

    Chinese literature: Hair Chewing/biting

    Biting things is a common autism behavior, and people on the autism spectrum with long hair (typically girls) who have this behavior will usually consider their hair one of the targets for chewing. Another feature of the autism spectrum is that all of these little behaviors like biting become...

    I got my 18 month old nice to warm up to me by playing with her toes, then she sat in my lap as she ate breakfast and dumped oatmeal all over my pants.
