    Monster/non human MC

    A rock. Just like a regular rock. The mc can’t move, can’t die, cannot scream, only sit still and watch the world until he turns back to dust

    How much should I plan ahead for a novel?

    I have two stories I'm writing right now. Usually I start on one after I get bored with the other. One has about 10 chapters finished so far ( not including illustrations) and for that story I have already have it planned out for the next 40-50 chapters. The other one I have about 6 chapters...

    The limits of a writer's imagination: Can Characters Surpass Their Creators in Intelligence?

    Depends on what type of intelligence you are trying to portray. I don't think the person who wrote Jimmy Neutron or Dexter knew how to make a laser gun or a spaceship. But you can understand the characters implied intelligence without them running through every single math equation. Only...

    Where do you rascals post your art

    Pixiv. I hate DA it's only a matter of time before that site dies. Pixiv isn't the greatest and lacks a lot of features of devaint art and even furaffinity, but it's very good at containing different types of and recommending things to the right people. I haven't posted on pixiv for like 6...

    Trying too hard not to copy Tolkien

    Yeah I think the problem is when people try to make Tolkien elves their own, they’re just changing Lotr elves to be legally distinct. I think if you wanted to write an original elves you’d have to innovate on the Gaelic & English folklore that Tolkien originally took inspiration from.

    Trying too hard not to copy Tolkien

    I’ve noticed there is a subset of writers that try their damnedest not to copy the world building of Tolkien, and I think a lot of the time it just makes what they write suck. Almost all of medieval fantasy is based of what Tolkien did, which was extremely innovative for the time. I see authors...

    Do you feel intense cringe when the novel MC swears?

    Swearing isn’t cringe when used in moderation. Not like those bad late 2000s action movies where the characters are like ‘fucking move the fucking car. Park the fucking car out behind the fucking house.’ Shit like that

    Is there a tag/genre that you do not want to read anymore?

    I will never read any of those ‘dungeon towers invade earth’ stories. It seems like it was fabricated in a government black site lab to be the most boring, formulaic, uninspired drivel possible for someone to read. I’d rather read a legal textbook than that shit

    Are review sites a good investment?

    Writing There isn't a point to physics if they can be "broken".

    In Gundam they made a fictional state of matter (minovsky particle) solely to justify close range spaceship and robot battles

    Checks & Balances (magic systems)

    So far I’ve seen a lot of stuff about balance, mostly balancing from within the system, but not many checks form outside it. What I eventually decided after making the guns post a few days ago was to have a material that is opposed to magic, incompatible with it, and can dispel it. I picked...

    Checks & Balances (magic systems)

    A few days ago I made a post about guns & magic. Was curious more broadly speaking what people thought about balancing magic in general. How powerful should it be? How easy to use? & such I’ve read a ton of stories where magic is so convenient and easily accessible that it makes the setting...

    What if....

    While not a clear cut case that could certainly be litigated. In America at least, the letter of the law doesn’t translate perfectly to civil law suits. Civil court with a jury is as much about law is it is about empathy and emotion, and someone who pulled the wool over another’s eyes with a...
