There is nothing new under the sun. There's no such thing as an 'original' plot idea, or it would never be used because it sucks. However, how you ARRANGE and construct those plot ideas are original. That's where your stories come from. Every idea JRR Tolkein had was stolen from another source...

Heh, well, you are going a heck of a lot farther than almost any adventure game I have ever played or worked on. Most adventure games, even text adventure games, have a main 'plotline' with, at most, two to four 'alternatives' (good or evil endings) and a series of side quests, and side quests...

My wife was reading this over my shoulder and said all those people claiming this is gross or unrealistic for a 15-year-old girl, who's probably been interested in boys since she was twelve, getting turned on by a boy defending her don't have the slightest clue what it's like to be a teenaged...

I am fond of 'very bad deaths' style. You know, the protagonist goes into a dungeon at level 1, fights his way through the dungeon, avoiding death at every turn, finally comes out proudly as a rank 2, and then gets hit in the face by a flying wheel from a car accident half a mile away. Because...

Suicide punch is everything on the soft drink machine except for Diet. Sewer water is including the diet. Liquid death is ONLY the diet. (Until that stupid Frankenmarkt company trademarked it. Screw them.)

Some idiot always brings a knife to a gun fight. If you can, more power to you. That woman was never his to begin with. I just hope you do it before the two of them do something stupid, like try to resuscitate their relationship with children.

Shouldn't it be technically called a prograph? An epigraph would be a short quote at the end of a chapter, right? It could also be an epigram, if it's a literal quote. and Program just wouldn't work :)

"Funny, knowing who you really are was your FIRST wish," The genie snickered.

I post stuff on scribblehub for a reason. I am pretty good at catching stuff on the fly (30+ years of writing stories, D&D modules, game scripts, technical writing, and online text-based MUD's) But when I post the chapter to scribblehub, I let Grammarly have a go at it. I won't use a lot of...

Additional note: It actually tastes better when added, with a bit of sweet cream, to a tall cup of french roast coffee. Ironically subtle, although again, the apple cider actually detracts from the flavor. As Paul mentioned, with the cider it just tastes like a weird sort of suicide punch...

Soda pop root beer or real alcoholic root beer? Made the latter, it tastes a bit like a cross between a half-and-half and a doctor pepper. Honestly, the apple cider part is a let down, otherwise it has an interestingly rich tea flavor, especially iced.

I love the friction that comes from alternate power systems. The greenskins in my world use a totem to interact with the 'system'. These totems are kept at nodes and interacted with via shamans. The humanods, however, invite aspects into their bodies, and are mutated into avatars as a result...

Ugh, stealing a woman from another guy is so boring. Want a real challenge? Steal a woman from another girl.

I could use the 'cow in boots' emote

And the difference is? A good text adventure and a good novel requires exactly the same ingredients.

I hunt and peck at 143 WPM. Never learned to type, and now it's too late. On a good day? 15000 words (about 3 chapters)

To Quote Episode 1. "There's always a bigger fish"

What? and take away her best weapon for catching men? are you crazy? When they are staring and panting and trying to roll up their tongues they are incredibly easy to stab. I mean, does anyone actually know or care what Power-Girl's superpowers actually are? and all i know about wonder woman is...

The cool part is, you only have to do a tiny little bit of advanced work to make a xianxia novel work. 1. come up with an outline of how xianxia 'ranks' work, and get ready to write long chapters concerning that advancement (IE, litrpg without the crunchy) 2. Come up with a 'big evil' (and...
