    Weakest character

    That's actually an oddly hard to answer question. Out of the three most recent stories, I'd take the one I'm mainly working on for this. Normal Knights and Guards aren't weak per se, even if there's stronger ones around. I'd originally say the younger stepsister of the MC, but she's still a...

    Hi, just a quick question

    Well, I don't think it matters much. Is it something to worry about? I don't know, maybe I should be worried about how I do things myself. That... I don't think that level of fuckery can be chalked up to rewriting two things at the same time.

    Thoughts on sound effects (onomatopoeia)?

    I think you misspelled "Pew". It's important. I guess.

    Thoughts on sound effects (onomatopoeia)?

    It's objectively bad writing, period. Maybe I'm old school, but while small sounds can be taken in, like creaking or a dripping sound, they should always be somewhat integrated into text. So a flat one line of SWOOSH doesn't cut it. And while in a visual medium, you get to have the sound to add...

    Controversial character

    I mean... sure, why not.

    How do y'all fall about the death of the author theory?

    I believe it has always been that way, because people can feel differently about things. There's certain objective details that are humanly innate, you can't misread them unless you want to. Recently had a dude tell me people "froze for no reason" when it was during the first action sequence and...

    Writing Critique Group

    I would be in for it. I don't have an extreme lot of time, but I feel like that might be a good idea. Gaining insight from people of different walks of life, especially if the group isn't extremely big and thus a bit more personal; there would be more of a chance to actually engage with each...

    Second draft memes

    No, I meant that I need to back-translate my English written story into German, but I don't want to do it by hand. But I also hate the fact that I have to revise it, because translation programs won't get me a perfect translation or anything of the sort. Anyway, I guess revising still better...

    Second draft memes

    Yeah, I thought of DeepL as well. It's still going to be mush, I will have to thoroughly revise it. Pain. But I'm not going to write the whole story twice, just to have it in German. :blob_blank:

    Second draft memes

    I mean, I feel ya. I'm currently revising my main project, because I'm close to getting Season 1 done. Then I have to throw it through a random translater and work through the entire story again.

    Second draft memes

    You should have told me you needed a meme like that. I happen to have the perfect one at hand.

    POV switches

    I don't think it's a bad thing and never considered it to be something strange. I've read it in a lot of officially published books as well, and there's editors to sort out what can't be done. That why I don't really get behind the idea of agonizing over this matter as some people do - I'm not...

    if you like attack on titan and gay stuff, you'll love my new book!

    Hm, just from the synopsis, none of this seems to have anything to do with the concept of AoT. In fact, I wouldn't touch it, because I have to assume you will play off of some traits that are supposed to be known by friends of the franchise, but by saying this was for people wo "liked Attack on...

    Patreon NSFW Guidelines Killing Smut Authors

    Not on patereon, because I don't get how to properly use that, but it's a fact that there's a lot of things you aren't allowed to write. It's written. Stories are to live out fantasies you specifically wouldn't want to try out in reality. Why can I write a story in which one murders the other...

    [Vent] For Authors who just need a moment to let it all out

    Holy DingleWingle. Was it Tarantino or Schneider? Also, I need to vent some more. :blob_cookie: I mean, I get it, people just don't like putting in work for anything, but seriously? So I actually got a review tonight, saw it in the morning, together with two chapter comments. Never seen the...

    I can't decide something.

    Agree on this one. But only if you actually manage to come up with an idea for it, otherwise it will just feel contrived. If it has to be an ass pull, leave it, otherwise it might prove interesting.

    Humbly Requesting: Author Opinions

    I don't really see the reason why you would seek feedback on uncooked soup, to be honest. Maybe I'm cynical, but you never know what's actually becoming of it, because everything may sound really good or really shitty when it's still just a concept.

    An inadequate explanation on why I hate the multiverse theory.

    Again, that is one theory of something that doesn't exist, therefore, in literature, you always go in different ways and possibilities. Also, even that just means what everyone else was trying to tell you. In and of itself, it doesn't matter how many molecules dance in the wrong direction...

    [Vent] For Authors who just need a moment to let it all out

    First of all: It doesn't make you sound like anything but a normal writer in my opinion. As we all, as far as I experienced, hate what we write at some point, when challenged, we will still see all the parts we think are good. And you wouldn't be an artist, if there weren't days when you look at...

    [Vent] For Authors who just need a moment to let it all out

    Well, I'm always full of complaints, aren't I? :blob_cookie: No, seriously, there was someone who once wrote in an official Amazon review that there's something they don't see any explanation for. When I took the question and partially put it in the search within the manuscript document in...
