Yes, and those people are both readers and writers. Not sure what you have written, since you have nothing posted here, but you haven't read my books, of which there are several here. Might want to tone it down a notch, there, Ebert, or perhaps I should point out that the title of the thread is...

totally different case. I love stories where 'artists' gain magical powers to make their creations real :)

I respectfully disagree. Kushiel's tear is the best example of 'almost not crap' I have read that focuses on sexuality, but alternatively. there's... pretty much everything piers anthony or Robert Heinlein have written, and generally, even well-regarded crap is still crap. And recent authors...

Books written around sexuality are crap, and are always crap. Then again, lots of people enjoy crap. Wishing you success.

Bah, it's an irrelevant detail unless it become relevant. I write stories were the readers can self-insert, so ak the readers what their hair and eye color are. It's only relevant if the story makes it relevant. I think what the teacher did was hilarious, and good for a class of tiny children...

uhh... most webdevices don't activate unless the user tells it to 'play'

My little brother does AI tracks for videos a LOT. (It is not his career; he is a network admin, but like me, he is creative in his off times, and a lot of his copyright-free stuff is used by a ton of YouTubers.) A lot of times. I will listen to his tracks while I am writing to capture and...

now write 15k words in a day. I know you can do it!

Some of us really don't like getting pestered about our Macguffins, and probably thought blocking you was easier than wasting a huge amount of time discussing said one-off term for something needed solely to move the plot along. I can't say that I would have done the same thing, but if you sent...

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with time skips, especially for certain situations (Clash of the Titans would have sucked if the movie were about Perseus' struggles with breastfeeding, as attractive as the breasts were), but some authors tend to overuse them, just like every writing...

I like villains that can be UNDERSTOOD, that people think "He is totally evil, but if I were in his shoes, I might be evil too." But, I don't like completely hosing those villains, so I add lots of stock monsters for the hero to beat up too. what if destroying the world is the right thing...

never had that problem, but I am a 'seat of my pants' writer. I write a very simple outline of how I want the story to go, and a few 'base points' that I have to hit by such and such a chapter, and then let go and start writing. Sometimes things change, sometimes characters are added because...

I like number two, since that's the only one where the girl doesn't look as much like an evil w***e. But I'd fix the extra leg.

Hello, Sailah.

Too much metaphysics for me. Value is in the end product, not the journey taken to produce it. I am not a communist, and do not consider a hand-knit sweater somehow intrinsically more valuable than a machine-made sweater if they are identical. Marxist labor value is a failed concept, repeatedly...

As someone who regularly writes 5-10k words a day when I have a good idea, I guess not.

I hear you, especially considering the alternatives.

I have read too many crappy writers that have gotten rich and famous to believe all the bullcrap about 'purity' or that bestseller of the week #223 is somehow better because the writer wrote it on slate using chalk. Now, convince me that handcarts are better than semis. Or a shovel is more...

I love reading. Always have. But most modern stuff in my preferred genre is utter crap. I thought I could do better, so I do.
