    In one of my more recent chapters I realised I spelt "villian" again, and I looked at my title to check whether or not it was correct. After confirming that my spelling "villian" and my title matched, I assumed I spelt it correct and continued. Then a while later I double checked online, and...

    I spelt "villain" as "villian". The funny thing is, when I first started writing the series, I made extra sure to spell "villain" correctly, because I quickly realised I kept spelling it wrong. However, I failed to catch the typo in the title.

    What is the game you have played the most?

    Hmm... difficult one. Possibly RotMG, or Everybody Edits. I wonder how many people here have even heard of these games?

    Would you send a bad person to solitary confinement?

    I wouldn't press the button, simply because it's not my job to do so. On the topic of the button, Here's some fun thoughts for you all: Let's assume you can press the button 3 times a second. In an hour, you can press it 10800 times. There are about 8 Billion people on the world. That'll mean...

    how much smut to be considered smut?

    My thought on this matter is that I think of genre as something similar to theme. You can have something in your story (like romance) without actually exploring it like a theme. So even if the MC of a story gets a girlfriend or gets married by the end of it, that doesn't necessarily make it a...

    Where's the line between magic and superpowers?

    Ok. I think I've got it. The obvious difference is semantics. If you're going for a fantasy world, it's magic. If you're going for something with modern technology, probably superpowers. I guess this is because magic is often seen as not having a place in a world of science? However, this...

    "The capacity of an entity to exert influence (the cause) is intrinsically linked to the observer's perspective." sounds dodgy to me. You mean to say if someone points a gun at me and I close my eyes he suddenly can't shoot me anymore?

    How would a fight between god's work.

    If you go with the idea that a god is the persona of a physical concept, I don't think you'd want it to work. If the god died, what would happen to the physical concept? E.g. in your example, we have Time and Devouring (I'll capitalise them when referring to them as characters, not concepts.)...

    I may have asked before but anyone thought of side stories?

    I think they're cool, but only after your story reaches a certain length.

    I think I'm Cursed

    if 95% of authors don't have a regular upload schedule, then this phenomenon is completely normal. (technically it would need to be higher than 95%, due to bias, but ignore that.)

    Can we consider a QR code a primitive or early form of runic language i

    If all you consider a rune requiring is some form of information encoding, then I suppose you could say a QR code is a rune. But with that definition of a rune, I feel like every single writing system ever could be considered runic. I think we'd need to find a distinction between runes and...

    Writing Writing rules (other than show don't tell) discussion.

    How have we talked about not starting your story with your character waking up, but we haven't talked about not ending a story with your character waking up? Hmmm. If you think about it, that itself seems to be an application of the more general rule of cause and effect. So my rule I'll...
