    Was this Hitoshi Iwaaki's inspiration?

    Think this was the inspiration for Migi from Parasyte? It's from a movie that came out in 1989 called 'Leviathan'. Kindof a mashup of Alien meets The Thing, meets The Abyss.

    Any authors here who....

    I don't expect my story to be popular. I'm writing it because it's the story I want to write.

    Kinda wanna write a world merging story

    If they are different at all they will be treated differently, shunned, stigmatized, ostracized. Look at how we treat genders, races, sexuality, religion.

    Kinda wanna write a world merging story

    Laws would be a mess. If I get in a fight with and shoot a Beastmam, is that attempted murder or animal cruelty ?‍♂️?

    Kinda wanna write a world merging story

    I think your best way to see how governments and people would react would be to study how nations react to immigrants. Some people would be wholly accepting, others mostly accepting of certain ones, hostile to others, some hostile to all. I would expect 'Sundown Towns', aka, they are allowed to...

    R.I.P Liam Payne.

    His dedication is amazing. Even in his final moments he was going in One Direction.

    Feeling the writing blues

    I tend to look at it like this: 1. What is the next plot point I need to meet for the story to progress to the ending I want/envision? 2. What needs to happen to get to that plot point? 3. What is the most in character action that will cause the character the most trouble down the road...

    What would be a fun monster to reincarnate?

    What are they now? Do something completely foreign to that. So a cave dweller becomes a flying monster. One from a desert area becomes a sea monster. Ect. Something they have no experience with.

    One Weird Power Fantasy Trope

    I remember one story, I think it was 'The Death Mage Doesn't Want a Fourth Life' or something like that, where one of the reincarnations has a really OP ability- the blow cuts through everything. Only problem is it's not really controlled. It will cut through allies and innocents as well as...

    The Pressure Of Marriage.

    Ah yes, Grandbabyrabies is a definite thing. Luckily my sister took care of that itch for the parentals... I am a little sad that my Grandfather didn't get to see either of his great grandchildren. My sisters due to covid limitations on international travel, and my cousins coming 4 months too...

    POVs: All together or seperated?

    I have seen it done a couple ways: 1. Where the 1st half of a chapter was in the MC's point of view, and the second half was in another's view of the same incident. It was fun for some chapters where you saw the same events interpreted in wildly divergent ways, so you saw the misunderstandings...

    What type of horror do you like?

    I like monster flicks. Alien, Predators, Leviathan, ect. My favorite character from LoTR was the Balrog, and they were the only reason I read any of the Silmarrileon. Lovecraft style critters are great. Things like Jaws, Meg, and Jurassic Park are okay, but the more alien the monsters the better.
