    Some unique changes/twists for the Isekai genre…

    Here is a few examples of some twists for the common Isekai setting. The goal is to hopefully inspire a new less formulaic story. This genre can be quite wide, but I find that most stories have a Tolkienesk, Mid-evil, and/or D&D inspired world with a litRPG system thrown on. Some of these ideas...

    Need a name

    I struggle with coming up with names. I need a name for an energy expression that allows for the manipulation of living biological matter. I can’t call it Flesh Sculpting energy, because the MC is named flesh sculptor. Here is the prompt: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New...

    Cooking

    You make Mac&Cheese, then add chili powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, a spoonful of vinegar, and some soy sauce. Stir until everything is mixed. Had some earlier today and it was quite good. Do you have any additions to common recipes?

    InspiroBot…

    So I saw a YT video of inspirobot, and thought might as well check it out. The third thing it told me was a story about a lost traveler finding a ‘mentally handicapped’ fortune teller, who didn’t know where the lost traveler should go, so the traveler killed her, and founded a town that burnt a...

    Writing Prompt Write ~1 page of a new story.

    Goal: Come up with a new story idea and write a page for it, as if you were starting a new series. It can be about anything, but must be something you do now. No taking from hidden backlogs. The hope is that this serves as a short break from what you are currently writing and potential...

    Writing Prompt Give me a dreamlike and/or surreal passage you wrote.

    Here is mine: I always found it strange that the blue sky could obscure the ground above us during the day. There was about two hours before the light fades. I looked up at the sky squinting trying to see the continent above me. I floated as high as I could. It was impossible for me to reach the...

    Weird question

    How do you open boxes? I mean boxes packaged for shipping, such as an Amazon package. I peel the tape off with my fingers. I have to stock the freezers at work and this is typically the easiest way for me.

    How does writers block manifest for you?

    Writing is fun for me, yet whenever I try to write something I get a couple of pages in, and then freeze. I try to continue the story, but can only get few sentences a day, before I have to do something else, which is probably spending time improving on the first couple of pages, until I can’t...

    What are your minor reading pet-peeves?

    I use text to speech, so every equals in: ==================, is said. Not much of an issue until you realize ~half of the litRPGs here use it as a border for stat screens. Funnily enough the equals sign is the only symbol where chaining them together pronounces every one...

    Why did the stars disappear? Why did the sun turn into a ring? Please tell me wise sages!

    Please, if we don’t figure this out the world will go into chaos.

    Strange dreams

    What is a strange dream, or part of a recent dream you had? Last night I dreamed that 6 Italian sandwiches fell in love with me, and made me want to eat them. If I were to be near some other person, the sandwiches would enrich uranium and then blow up before time rewound.

    Is the prose too dry/is the exposition too much/anything I can improve on?

    Went through rereading a couple older chapters, and got the feeling that my writing was to much: I did this, then this, because this, which reminds me of this. Instead of slowing down and bringing you through the character and world. It felt simultaneously like I was going too fast, and not fast...

    Which version reads better?

    I was flipping perspective and was wondering which fit better. A or B

    Which is better?

    So I had an idea for a rom-com, where a het-couple breaks up only for both of them to immediately confess to a mutual friend. The mutual friend misunderstands and agrees to go out with both of them. My only issue is what gender should the mutual friend be? I don’t want the story to be a harem...

    Tell me friend, why are you cooking, in your home, for 12 people at midnight? A bit eerie for a self described hermit, no?

    What is your favorite non-sung piece/collection of music?

    Currently I am torn between Shostakovich’s collection of 24 preludes & fugues and Bach’s Art of fugue. Here is a link to both: Art of Fugue Preludes & Fugues
