    Writing Does a story necessarily have to convey a message/moral ?

    I'd argue, yes. As other people have said, morals will be invoked whether you indend for them to be or not. Every decision your character makes and it's subsequent consequences showcase morality from your stories' point of view. Consider a bandit. Suppose this bandit attacks a civilian, kills...

    Do Not Overplan Fiction At 3AM

    The problem you've identified doesn't really strike me as related to overthinking or overplanning. Instead, it's the concept of making new things for the sake of making new things. As for what causes "things for the sake of things" in the first place, I would expect that being more indicative of...

    Um... what?

    In ancient times, scientists chased after the illusionary philosopher's stone- a miraculous item that cures any ailment and grants immortality. Modern scientists laugh at them for confusing fiction with facts, science with magic. Yet, those same scientists make the same mistakes as their...

    Writing Prompt Apocalypse

    What apocalypse? Don't be ridiculous. There is no apocalypse. The apocalyse is a myth. It never actually happened. Huh? Books about living on the surface? Give those to me. Those are just fantasies written by people with too much time on their hands. The surface was never habitable for humans...

    When does a character stop being a character?

    Borrowing from the discussion of previous thread, I'm of agreement that a character is a character if it has a voice (personality) to it. As long as a biological entity is not shown to have a personality, it's not a character. Take a pet in a fantasy world; they are developed with personality...

    Can a mecha be considered a character?

    If yes to all three, does that make the mecha a character? I have mixed feelings about making robots/ai/mechas into characters. it can be done, but should it be done? Is it good practice?

    Why a Story Needs a Primary Antagonist (and how to find them)

    Me when clicking the thread: "But what about having multiple antagonists?" Me at 0:18: :blob_teehee: In a more serious note, I very much enjoyed the video. I really liked the "humans are wired to make sense of things through people" part. Personifying a non-physical problem into a physical...

    Revenge Regression Stories make no sense

    Bold to assume this is how timelines work. But on another note, since when is revenge ever about justice? Isn't revenge meant to be about venting anger in an unhealthy, unjust way to everybody's detriment?

    Dwarven town physics...

    You just have to find reasons why this wouldn't happen for dwarfs. For example, maybe dwarfs have a lung system that is much more durable than humans, allowing them to filter most poisonous gases out of their system safely. Maybe they grow some special fungi that produces enough breathable air...
