    Magic and Logic Why They Can't Coexist(?)

    you mean... Why is it a planet? Why is there a gravity? Why do humans exist? Why do they have ANY of our physical laws? Because why not? It need not be completely different. Simply adding in one more energy would not completely eliminate the presence of others. It would merely change how those...

    Magic and Logic Why They Can't Coexist(?)

    You're comparing a world that has this energy to our world's history. I do agree that if they're on earth and can suddenly use magic, that's wrong. But if there's some great event that spreads the energy, or if they go to another world that has had it's own entire history, that's fine. Most...

    Magic and Logic Why They Can't Coexist(?)

    Let me point out electricity. Before we could generate, control, and safely dissipate it, was Electricity illogical? you literally hold it in your hand when you're using your phone. You're using it to see and reply to these right now. You're sending electricity through a rock and forcing it to...

    Magic and Logic Why They Can't Coexist(?)

    "What is magic but science beyond our present understanding?" "Sufficiently advanced science is little different from Magic." "Just because we don't yet know the laws to explain a phenomenon does not necessitate that it be labeled magic." There are literally dozens of quotes that hint that...

    lol it's not bad if I may say so. The sequel is DragonBound, which surrounds the total remaking of a kingdom that hunts dragons. Mind you, it was originally founded by a half-dragon.

    That's... uh... Kinda like my story Lay the Dragon. Young lad meets a 200 year old Dragon (Basically equivalent to about an 18 year old human). She helps him. years later when he's full grown, he seeks her out. When he finds her, they end up "together". After, he goes to free elven slaves from...

    An entity capable of the power Cell Detonation. Each and ever cell within your body essentially becomes a minor bomb that, while it won't necessarily kill you, is capable of inflicting constant torture. Bonus points if you include that the detonations can have specific criteria. Maybe 5000...

    Furry isekai harem (No smut... yet)

    to each their own. truth be told, I'm like 85% sure i'm not doing the incest thing, and even if I do, it won't be for a LONG time. Only reason I mentioned it is because the sister has a brother complex, but it's played off as humor for now.

    ahhh. I see. You have a basis for what you want? Any abilities, looks, designs, styles, how it's a horror thing (kills, tortures, consumes, becomes, etc)? I'm happy to help, but I'm at a loss for what fits you or your story or ability to write.

    I swear, Trick or Treaters steer from my house on purpose.

    I often avoided houses that had a weird vibe for whatever reason. It wasn't always something I could pinpoint. Just a strange feeling given off by it.

    I offer Cover Design for your Story [Free]

    technically, AI art is copyright-free since AI cannot hold a copyright (at least in the US, and per the "monkey law", where a monkey cannot understand ownership, so cannot hold a copyright for a picture taken by the monkey on a human's camera). that said, it gets a little more complex when it...

    Writing Prompt Give me a Horror Story meant to scare Vampires

    lol well, I do write fantasy/romance/smut. But I was taking cues from a few sources. The things that feed on vampires from Blade, the human-hunters from Supernatural, and just a general "horror" feel for the start. I was debating on pivoting into humor/romance, but decided to use them to just...

    Writing Prompt Give me a Horror Story meant to scare Vampires

    Oh, hey! a prompt I can actually do! I've been wanting to dabble into horror, so... *clears throat* Garlic bread. Silver eating utensils. Dead man's blood. Bright, sunny days in the park without shade. Sunblock stoppages. Jokes aside, enjoy: Lisha ran, her breath coming in thick heaves as she...

    My process: Look through ancient myths to find an entity that's close to what I want. Use that name, in some english approximation (I.e. the the catoblepas in greek is καταβλέπω, or katablépō, rather than the common english name Catoblepas). even if the myth doesn't have a common english name...

    Music that you listen to or otherwise inspires you when writing

    It really depends on what I'm writing. I tend to listen to heavier metal bands during fight scenes, Classical during expositional scenes/planning, etc. I always have three songs on my playlist though, no matter what. First. Second. Third. Hope you all enjoy, and let me know what you think!
