Hardest- Remembering the names of all my characters Heaviest- writing conflicts that won't get me censored by retarded Karens and Peters. Easiest- Action. It's not hard to describe it when you have seen it. Lightest- Mysteries. I have been a gamemaster for darn near 40 years. After a while, you...

Meh, I do this, but it's sort of a case like 'zorg' from the Fifth Element. You have to show how evil he is, but it's not a direct power comparison. Sure, Lilu could have taken out Zorg before you could blink, but he wasn't there to be taken out. A good 'superevil master villain' is a plot...

True. That's why a good rifleman learns better shooting techniques AND practices hitting targets. Writers who do not do both get shallow and disconnected from good storytelling.

The problem was not dying; it was that death didn't seem to stick. I called for one sentence ghost stories, but all the ghosts preferred to use two.

reminds me of the old 'choose your own adventure' books.

I am too old to deal with dishonesty. I'd rather someone is totally honest with a problem. That way if their observations are ridiculous, I don't feel bad about my totally honest response :)

I am actually considering putting up separate books just for that reason, although it might screw with the whole 'web serial' vibe, it is a lot more like the way I plan on publishing them.

I am good. Other sites have mad responses. But thanks for being a bag of d*cks. It always makes me feel better to know that other people are even more screwed up than me :)

I'd drop him in a pit and start telling him that it puts the flea dip on it's fur.

I don't understand why people here are so silent. I don't even get douchebag comments. Of course, it might be because every single time I post I chapter it is submerged instantly by a hundred crappy third-rate fanfics and about a billion badly-translated faux wuxia. Note: if every paragraph is...

Have you considered putting links to your stories in your sig? I will often feel more of a connection with stories whose authors I have interacted with here, until they move to Amazon and the 'big leagues'. That doesn't mean I will like them, but I will definitely give them a chance :)

this is good advice for a roleplaying game. For a book series? nono. Think Conan. Laced with magic, it is all mysterious, incoherent, makes no sense, and perfect considering that 'magic' is something monstrous enemies do... No one cares HOW Thulsa Doom turns into a giant snake, it is evil, and...

self-criticism is how humans grow and improve :)

I am kinda liking your deity entertainment network idea. I am working on a similar story, where the protagonist is death, who was 'rewarded' by being stuffed into a broken body on a dying, post-apocalypse world for being too good at his job. The deity entertainment setup are the bad guys :)

considering I usually write 3k-5k word chapters, if I don't have a reasonable audience after 30-50 chapters, it's time to stop wasting my time and energy writing the book. If it's a problem, talk to the moderators. seriously. I am not sure what you mean, but then, there are a lot of subjects I...

When I kill a side character, the hard part is making sure the reader cares about them first, rather than just making them a redshirt. It's actually a lot easier making them a heroic type than just someone that is there. I prefer making their death meaningful, though.

pre-xactly! Also, from what I understand, heavier keyboards with bigger actions are, for some reason, less destructive on your wrists.

timing. Specifically, if you have your chapters come up during a certain time frame (America between 9 am est and 11 am pst) because that is also the 'golden' time frame for chapters getting attention.

Me too! Wait... you don't actually have an editor and proofreader either, do you? Mine sucks. I have to take away his hamburgers. I haven't had hamburgers in a LONG time.
