Basically, a book that has had some major impact on you. Could be that it's changed your life, how you view your life, your goals, or whatever. I'll go first: Tuesdays with Morrie. I'm currently rereading it for the 8th time. And every time I read it, I laugh. I cry. And every time, I find some...

I use grammarly free, self-edit, and finally, any major changes (like switching the tense), I run it through ChatGPT with instruction, then double and triple check to ensure it's still what I wanted.

I'd be up for a review swap if you're still open for it. My new story, Fursekai (link in sig) currently has one chapter, but chapter 2 will be out on the 24th. I do write smut, but it doesn't currently have any. I can read tomorrow. Let me know when you're available!

This, right here. I never give less than 4stars. If a story is worth less than that, I simply don't review it. that said, I always praise what is done especially well. any critques, I make sure to mention what is wrong and how it can be fixed. not in a mean way, just as a means to help a newbie...

You could add links in your sig. plenty of authors here do that. It won't majorly boost your stats, but every little bit helps, yes? 2nd person is a huge drawback. Heck, even in my reader-drive story, Two Faces, I use 3rd person because 2nd is just so cumbersome to try and keep steady. And if...

why not all? Could have a door that opens to whatever time period you, the door's user, wish to go to. Wanna go home? Your time. Wanna see the the wright brothers? You're there. Want to go specifically to may 4th 1445? you're suddenly back then. as long as there's a door, you can go.

I suppose I could try a one-shot of this, see how it plays out. Hmm... It'll be a couple days, but yeah, I'll let you know when it's ready.

not really what you're looking for, but Brotherband by John Flannagan features an MC that helped at the ship dock until he could take combat training, and he makes minor tweaks to his own ship pretty much the entire series after.

maybe we should rerail those cat girls. wait... improper wording... or was it...? :blob_uwu:

ZZZ Nekomata? To OP's post, I say this: You got emotionally invested in the story. So now you want the readers to be emotionally invested. My main story world (Mysthavia - Lay the Dragon and DragonBound) Also began as a joke based on the old comic square of the dragon with a little dragongirl...

That's actually where I got the idea. I was thinking on taking it one step further. Like, technically, it'd be a form of fungus that developed seeds rather than spores. But, when cooked, would have the texture of a fungus with the taste and nutrients of actual meat, if perhaps slightly different...

lol If I go that route, I'd likely do meat cuts as fruit. The meat dries, opens, and spills seeds to replant. If it's picked, the meat stops ripening, and can then be cooked like any other. Different varieties of meat plant will produce different flavors, cuts, and textures. So you'd have like...

I've spoken to a few people since I posted this. Factoring in all responses here and others not on this site, it's pretty even. I might just have to work in all 3... Likely just in different forms. That said, I simplified it here. I'd include all necessary information to show a genuine...

human pinball. It's not used nearly as much now as it was back in the 80s and 90s (though, even then it was fairly rare). but one character falls, or gets launched, or something, and ends up ricocheting to different objects, bouncing around like a pinball. It's far more common in Western...

that's my issue. If an intelligent, self-aware wolf kills an intelligent, self-aware rabbit, is that nature eating or murder? The rabbit could have a family, he could be on his way home, ready to provide a paycheck and some hard earned carrots to his family, and the wolf just eats him. At what...

The monsters are still sentient. In-universe, there's a clear and distinct delineation between monsters and animals, and people just instinctively know. they're not at war or anything, it's just "that's a monster. that's an animal." Meanwhile, the MC/sister/readers will know that animals are...

It's readable, not to worry lol. Been there. And yeah, I meant it would be dark for the reader, not the characters. the thought of eating the already dead rather than killing specifically to be eaten. The Mc and sister would be grossed out until they decided, "Well... we've eaten meat every...

Thats true, but we don't eat animals that look and talk like us. If there were a cow that verbally begged to not be killed for steak, we might reconsider turning it into that rack of ribs for tonight. We'd go for the non-talking cow.

I'd considered that. Dating back to prehistoric times, predators would eat prey without question. so now, in the modern (to them) era, they would have a system in place. Which is where I came up with Funerary Feasting. You could even trade recently deceased like food. Prey settlements could talk...

the only issue is I already have the world set. There would be a lot of rewriting I'd have to do to include non-sentient animals... :blob_pat_sad:
