    Questions about ‘Global’ Trope

    There's a scifi isekai where an entire regiment of Union soldiers in the US Civil War gets isekai'd to an alien planet where the aliens rampage through city states of human beings from through out history and use them as slaves and the Regiment is like "Oh, they're keeping you as slaves? Bet."...

    New Guy

    Ah yes, how could I forget. I will gladly give up my lungs in sacrifice to the O2 nation. I will replace them with robotic lungs and become Iron Dark Duck.

    Physics question about a superpower

    I hate puzzles so the answer is definitely going to be carry a glock and shoot the problem until it dies or you do.

    Step one: Write a character Step two: Say they're female Step three: Mention boobs at every chance, especially when they're acting boobily Step four: Ignore step three but keep step one and step two.

    litrpg tips from someone who hates litrg (unhinged rambling)

    I was unaware that there was a separate genre for things like SAO. That's good to know.

    litrpg tips from someone who hates litrg (unhinged rambling)

    There's been a handful of LitRPG novels I've enjoyed. The first and most prevalent would be SAO (especially the Progressive series). LitRPG done in a way that makes a modicum of sense can be pretty good, but I also have very particular tastes and am not about to write a novel ranting about...

    I need to test and discuss this new writing method

    Yeah I DNF'd the paragraph to go make myself another drink just thinking about the amount of work one would have to put in to format this.

    I'm curious, what writing software do you (yes I mean you specially) use?

    Sure! So here's a screen-grab of my current spin-up project: I always start with a blank project. I'm a software engineer by trade so I get real tired of being locked in a development box. I'd rather free form my environment to what best works for me. A blank project will always start...

    I'm curious, what writing software do you (yes I mean you specially) use?

    Scrivener. I can put all of my world building, notes, and manuscripts (even with pictures) all in one document that never gets too large in size no matter how much bullshit I throw into it. Means I can keep it in Dropbox and have it update from any device I decide to write on. Though I will...

    Showing, Telling, and Genre

    I won't lie; I'm actually good on the topic myself. I was more wanting you to cover it because there are a lot of releases on SH that are lacking in the "Show don't tell" arena.

    Showing, Telling, and Genre

    I didn't mean the video itself was off the beaten path. I agreed with most of what you said in the video; I just didn't vibe with the examples shown while you were explaining things at all. Most of the examples were describing places, where as I view showing and not telling as more of a way to...

    Showing, Telling, and Genre

    Thanks, appreciate it. Kind of went off the beaten path a bit for what I meant, but as with most things in writing a lot things are subjective.

    How Do You Write Good Fight Scenes?

    John raised his fists in front of himself. Andrea outstretched her own, unphased by what could only be described as John's dick measuring contest. "That's right, John. Put up your dukes, let's get down to it," Andrea said, sauntering toward John with a smirk. "Hit me with your best shot."...
