He was saying for 20th century. For 21st I don't think anything can hold a candle to Harry Potter. The Harry Potter books came at a perfect time, when they first came pit most people's internet couldn't handle video and streaming didn't exist. So video games, movie rentals and reading were...

Domain Expansion: Waffle House An inhospitable environment where only the those with the strongest of wills and the fiercest of prowess can survive. For the most ruthless of humanity who can conquer it they are rewarded with sub par breakfast food

I had an idea for a short story based on the jeweler who cuts magic gems and makes it into items for the heroes/typical fantasy mc’s to use. It was a fun idea but I couldn’t think of any real underlying conflict that could move the plot forward in a way that related to the core concept

Do you have any story ideas that you gave up on because there wasn’t enough substance to the concept? Just curious

made a graphic to show the different levels of sci-fi (was bored) hopefully helps you figure out what you want to write. ‘The left is based in more in actual scientific concepts and ideas that are integral to the story, the right is stuff that’s not based in scientific concepts and technology...

Real name: Larry Johnson Character name: Xx_LordDeathKiller_xX Appearance: Black trench coat, black cloak, skull mask, is super short because he accidentally messed up when creating a character. Play-style: lots of damage over time affects (wow affliction warlock esq), necromancy, uses a...

Every fanfiction is good if your standards are low enough

I mean you could do it, but I don’t think it’d be any good. You can’t really plan out any greater arcs or surprise twists if a character has a random chance to drop dead on the next page.

Ngl find it a bit strange that minotaurs are always like a race in fantasy stories. In the original myth there was only ever 1 minotaur. You only ever see male minotaurs. Usually the author hasn't considered how they actually function outside of being a enemy encounter. Bonus points if the...

Different types of Sci-fi. Near future sci-fi will require actual understandings of technology and physics, but something like Star Wars is basically just a fantasy story in space. For en epic scifi do everything you would for a fantasy action adventure story, and then just change the coat of...

No reasonable person would off themselves after reading a mean internet comment. The commenter can only assume a reasonable response, anything outside of that reason could not be accounted for and is not the commenter's fault.

Why would the MC try to save the flag ship of a genocidal imperialist empire? Is he stupid?

I write chapters to be around 1.5k words

Nobody living past the year 2015 should be forced to read anything on kindle. I’d rather spit shine Bezos’ bald head than read on kindle

Don’t see it all too often, but occasionally I’ll find a story on SH that has missing chapters. Either it will start on chapter 30 something, or it will jump from like chapter 7 to 50. Usually it’s because the author got a deal with kindle or some other entity, but doesn’t change the fact it...

I don’t think there’s really any debate to be had here. K5 by a county mile

Salah Al-Din Yusuf Ayyub the Custodian of Egypt, Conquerer of the Levant, Benevolent Kurdish Leader of the Caliphate

Throat punch magic. It’s where I punch you in the throat.

Bad litrpg may be good for internet views, but it will never be anything more than that. At least not if you’re writing in English. Litrpg power fantasy trend chasing doesn’t let the author aspire to be anything higher. It’s fine for people who don’t desire any form of legitimacy
