    Racing Litrpg/Gamelit

    The main problem with this is that a story centered on racing caters mostly to a group of people that generally don't have much to do with books. There's very little overlap between the two interests, unlike historical fiction not to search far. Writing a book about racing is not a bad idea at...

    Which humanoid monster do you believe represents the deadly sin/of pride?

    If demons count, then demons, though they're not monsters in many settings. Same thing with dragons. If those are out, then I don't think there's any humanoid monster typically associated with pride, but there's a whole lot that can fit, like vampires, giants/titans/colossi, perhaps elves in...

    Cardinal Sin of Writing: Godmoding the Plot

    Ghost in the City does a great job portraying Night City as a huge place where some interference from the main character doesn't mean much in the short term. Different parts of the city and various groups are huge moving machines that do not interact much with each other, so the chance meddling...

    A book that changed your life/perspective/etc?

    I have a few, hard to decide on one in particular. Trouble with Horns and Vigor Mortis made me realize a lot about identity, The Eminence in Shadow about power, and Depth by Marcin Podlewski. It's a sci-fi that borders on supernatural, and it's got one of the most unique perspectives on aliens...

    What's your top 3 favorite colors?

    ...Nevermind. I'm sleepy and that was a long mental leap, probably wrong judging from your reaction.

    Anyone else suck at puzzle games?

    This really depends on the puzzles. I hate puzzles with time limits especially, but also the kind that barely has tutorials and expects you notice some arbitrary and oddly specific solution. A few other games I've played and seen though, like Opus Magnum or The Witness, are amazing to me. I...

    How do I find out how many pages my story would take up?

    This depends on the format. For an A5 page, more or less the format most books have, I believe most people approximate 250 words per page. This can obviously depend on a ton of factors such as font size, margins, paragraph length, and exact page size; there may be sites to calculate this but I...

    Agreed, and this is true for far more than just madness, in whichever definition of that word. There's a similar thing with psychological addictions - the first step to curing one is acknowledging it is one rather than something else - as well as with emotions - it is extremely difficult to deal...

    Thoughts on trying out character clothing irl to see if it is practical

    Same thing with bandages, and why in reality they don't really work despite the fact quite a lot of fictional female characters use them. I think, if you want reliability, you either need to change the material for something more flexible or use something to tie it and keep everything in place...

    Chapter length and Update Frequency

    Side note, best give a link to your story if you're making threads like this. Onto the topic, fanfics tend to vary wildly in regards to chapter length and update frequency. After skimming yours, I would say the best length would be between 1,5k and 4k words per chapter, though that might be...

    Thoughts on the claim that Google docs is deleteing documents that go against their TOS?

    Welp time to move back to Word.

    Is my synopsis grabbing attention? I need your thoughts

    First, grammar. I don't really wanna say it but I'll do it anyway, this isn't near fluent English. You have a number of weird sentences on top of multiple grammatical errors - it takes away from your synopsis. Even if it was outstanding in all other aspects, just those mistakes would deter me...

    Which type of monster (the classic fantasy monsters) do you believe is the best represtentation for the deadly sin of pride?

    Putting aside demons of pride for obvious reasons, probably dragons?

    Iirc, if you look on Ao3, you'll find it under Parahuman series - Wildbow. Worm is one of Wildbow's stories, it's pretty old but very popular, and it's the main inspiration for a huge number of dark superhero stories.

    What are peoples thoughts on authors allowing their readers to finish a story for them?

    The basic issue with this is that most readers have no idea about the author's intentions when writing a story, and even if they did they would most likely have far different ideas how to continue it. This wouldn't be an issue in itself, but those things come with huge changes in style, tone...
