The key is to go in with no expectations. You have to let it be it's own thing if you're going to enjoy it. Otherwise, disappointment is almost always inevitable.

How evil you are depends entirely on which generation of vampire lore you are pulling from my dear... now step into this light and check out this wonderful bit of woodcraft I made. :devilish:

No, it is simply nature. It is no more evil to kill a creature for sustenance, and continued existence than it is to defend your life from a predator attempting to do the same. As for vampires, it is not the idea of drinking of human blood that made the vampire evil, in the traditional sense...

I suppose it fits the theme of the thread then. :LOL: I am more of a poet than a novelist, but I love the art of writing in general. My greatest regret is that I listened too much to how a college professor thought I should write. To him, everything had to come from concrete experiences and my...

Sounds good and the cover is nice. Just try and remember that when it comes to writing, write what you want and feel is interesting without considering what the masses think. Firstly, writing is a hard enough practice when your heart is not in it, you're basically giving yourself a handicap...

Honestly, I am probably the wrong person to ask, as my tastes don't seem to fit the common mould on SH. For example, I would probably read your work in your description up till the Neko slave-girl part. I don't particularly care for a lot of the types of tags that might seem to lead to. Now that...

Glad I could help. It looks like you found something for now.

Clawing at the laughing sounds, they couldn't speak; the whispers stole their breath. Clamoring like discordant bells drowning the screams of dead saints, the jeering Damned crawled into their ears. You want to do this! you need too! Just a little to make it stop... *edit I felt the need to...

I mean, it's quite literally one of the humanty's oldest concepts that appears in stories across cultural boundaries. It is an image and idea deeply rooted in our subconscious. Does that make it over-rated? Perhaps. But something about the idea continues to facinate us as a people. I see know...

I would say if you have romantic feelings for this girl or hope she will have feelings for you, don't do it. It's pretty clear that if it has been a year and nothing has happened she is not into you for anything serious. If you find yourself capable of a friendship with her that is not romantic...

My earliest memory is actually a dream, a nightmare to be more specific. I was playing with other kids at a daycare, when the dream went silent, a doll came in with a knife to threaten us. I tried to cry to warn people but couldn't make sounds. I woke up from a nap crying at the same daycare...

I liked the idea of the Judas Cradle.

I was really into the history of torture, and it's various devices invented to harm people at one point. Man's inhumanity to man fascinated me. I did a full report about it in front of a high school class full of exuberance. Even proudly proclaiming my favorite torture device that I researched...

Write my will, and set all legal affairs in order. (I am not planning on dying or anything so ominous, just doing the responsible adult thing.) I am already set to do it, so it's easily achievable.

The closest I can currently think of, although it does not exactly fit your critera of really exploring the question is an old series called Incarnations of Immortality by pierce Anthony. Sort of a comedic tongue in cheek fantasy that takes place in the modern world except science grew along...

You won't find too much on this topic as, typically fantasy is written as a kind of escapism for modern problems. It is easy to avoid simply by writing that God does exist in a tangible manor within the world. In magic worlds such things often go hand in hand as divinity gets wrapped up in how...

One of them...

These get popular for the same reason I think people enjoy trash entertainment of any medium. Sometimes you don't want to think, you just want to sit down with something stupid, something comfortable that won't stress you out, or illicit any strong emotions. These kinds of things allow you to...

Damien by Herman Hess He's an author who deeply explored human spiritualism in a number of his novels. This one explored gnostism and sent me down a rabbit hole of obscure history, and made me realize just how much deeply old concepts still affect us.

Personally, I hate the isekai with modern knowledge advantage trope altogether. Realistically how many average joe people, of the type usually thrown into these senarios, would remember or use that kind of thing effectively? Secondly, I consider it the height of arrogance to immediately assume...
