Heh?

They got him. The feds got him.

It comes down to scorpions being seen as 'dangerous desert bugs' while spiders are seen as 'helpful household fly-catcher'. It's hard to change that perception.

The name is misleading, but the idea it evokes is what I'm talking about. I'm looking for more ideas to go along with the following: Martial arts, as in both the real world hand-to-hand/antiquated weapons combat stuff and the fictional wuxia nonsense, but set in a such a way that mundane...

"Gandalf? The Weird Fucker who comes around every now and again to set of fireworks?" "You're a weird fucker, Harry."

In my experience literally anything that isn't 100% generic trope affirming, most obvious possible continuance, 'safest and most optimal' character choices is going to be rejected by at least 75% of your readers. So fuck 'em. Consider the number of readers you piss off by not being smooth and...

3 ways: Start a new chapter from a different POV (Good if you're doing third person perspectives) Do whatever break you do to indicate a timeskip (I prefer a line or two dashes) before beginning new perspective While I don't recommend it, I have two stories written from third person...

Realistically, there would be multiple different slang terms that have very little to do with what their abilities are. They'd have an officially recognized name, like 'Mage' or 'Superhuman', but then most people would call them 'Weird Fuckers' or 'Scrimbos' or something.

The Author is dead! Long live the author!

'It is legal but not morally acceptable' can apply to literally anything you CAN write, btw. It isn't illegal to write actually anything as long as you live in the US, Canada, or within 90% of the EU. Many more places too.

I CAST PHANTOM ITCHY FEET (This is my escape from trying to come up with sufficiently sensible magic recipes for my fic)

Spite.

The ability to turn anything 'impossible' into something 'possible' within a certain condition. Namely, the condition that the power in no way makes it easy and the protagonist still has to do it manually. Example: There is no possible way for a random butterknife to cut through the big bad's...

Premise: Someone opened the metaphorical pandora's box of eldritch horror and the world is now in the midst of an ongoing eldritch apocalypse. Your protagonist's fraying sanity is the biggest danger to their goals, monstrous hallucinations are just as dangerous as the real things would be, and...

Look all I'm saying is that if you don't wear your Kittensquishers Inc. badge on the front of your uniform, there's no way you'll be making that promotion, bub.

1. When I can no longer gain anything creatively or skillfully from continuing it. 2. I believe the 'don't kill characters with good potential' schtick is a blight upon inexperienced authors. A character having so much more interesting stuff to do if they live is why killing them can be so...

Hey, when in doubt about how to continue, make a random list of some of your characters,

I've had three so far, one for that complaint, one for a request for more chapters (love that guy, the pair of clackers on him for DMing me at midnight for 'moar' because he liked the story, what a legend), and one for a self-admitted minor nitpick that we resolved with discussion

And I admit as such freely.
