    Readers Disappointed Because of the Author's Narrative Betrayal

    I've read plenty of stories and watched plenty of movies and shows. With that said, though, this may be an unpopular opinion, the biggest betrayal to me was Death Note. I think it's a great first watch, and its well put together, but the biggest cop-out was the halfway point. We could, should...

    What's your reason for not reviewing a novel?

    I don't really review, only because I tend to lurk. I have an account, but it's mostly to post my stories, otherwise I keep logged out to read. It's probably not fair to do that, especially since I'm probably messing with metrics, but I do value my privacy more than not. I do think if I found a...

    What's the most important part of a fight scene?

    Depends on the fight scene really. I can't just say in a blanket statement what makes a fight scene a fight scene. Some fights serve better as a metaphor, some fights short and brutal with little to no descriptors. Other times a fight can seemingly drag on forever. Or devolve into a bloody...

    Should I invest effort in editting an older story?

    You posted it, stick with it. Serious editing, revisions, or even rewrites rarely work out. Save that for when the story is done. If the story was still on your computer and not in the public that'd be an entirely different matter. Writing a story can be compared to building a bridge. No matter...

    What motivates you to write?

    Myself. If I could draw, I'd draw, if I could sing, I'd sing, if I could dance or play music, I'd do that. Unfortunately, I suck at it all, and the best I can do is possibly write, so that's the medium I've chosen to use. More specifically, I have ideas in my head that I want brought to...

    Patreon

    Oof, didn't know that tiers had to be changed manually. If, or when I decide to finally post the story I'm working on, I'll have to keep that in mind. Thanks for the info, it's impossible to find information anywhere.

    Favorite Soul-Borne game?

    Dark Souls 2, specifically for the Playstation 3. The Playstation 4 version is all janked up.

    Seeking Guidance on Writing Challenges

    Think of the process more like bowling, if you ever bowled. You can plan, set the stage as much as possible, set up guard rails to keep the story on point, but once you throw the ball, its course can wildly vary from what you planned. I often have to write, with guard rails in mind, until I...

    Another Gaming Industry Post... Ya'll should start ignoring these from me by now lol

    It's about passion and love! Simple as that. If you lack either or both, your bound to fail. If you have both, even if you fail now, who's to say you won't succeed later in life? Or even after your death?

    Odd thought

    Editing sucks, I'd much rather keep writing, but I need to occasionally double check my work. I do know that a lot of famous authors tend to have significant partners, be it a wife or husband, as an editor. Seems a bit like a cheat code.

    Akria is dead.

    It's so hard to believe that he died. I remember watching Dragon Ball Z on Toonami when I was younger back in the day and even today that series holds a special place in my heart. To hear he died and so suddenly at that, it's really sad.

    What Do You Think Makes A Bad Author?

    Personally, I think a bad author writes with the expectation of praise. Not everybody will like your story, regardless of how good or bad it is. That's fine. But when an author thinks their entitled to praise, just because they put in the time to write some words down, well, you got a problem...

    Shouting the names of abilities.

    In essence, it's both lazy and useful if done right. I mean, when someone says "Fireball!" You pretty much have an idea of what they mean already, right? No need for lengthy explanations. Makes it easier for both writer and reader.

    I respect writers who can stick to a set schedule immensely

    The Schedule is all I have. It is my life, my purpose of existence. Without it, I have nothing.

    Writing How do I write faster?

    To write faster, I'd suggest a typing program like 'Typing of The Dead' you can find it on steam. To write more, like chapter length, it is something you need to build up to as others have mentioned. It also depends on how much time you have to devote to writing, and what you feel you can...

    Hello, hello!

    I'm a Sheep that's been Fleeced. Currently I'm held captive by a family of sickos that never let me grow out my coat. I fear they'll make me into mutton soon enough. Until then, nice to meet y'all!

    Forgotten Title Forgotten a title, haunted house owner

    I heard about that, and it is a real shame. The Chinese government has issues with the supernatural, and any story that could be interpreted as a dig towards them. Which means that they often ban, or force writers to change their stories if they don't align with their party politics. A good...

    Writing Questions: Is this fight scene any good? what can be improved? Suggestions welcome.

    So... Ever watch a Rocky movie? I like to think of fights like a boxing match. First is the exhibition where both characters show off their stuff. Demoness enters, showcases her power by killing his team number. Main character realizes she's a demon. Identities are established and power scale is...
