Found a stack of letters from the nearest town he terrorized asking him to change his name. 'You've defeated all the heroes on our continent, and we can't get any more heroes to come fight you,' the letters say in various ways, 'No one believes us when we say we're being terrorized by Demon Lord...

The 2005 Constantine is an excellent film - and I hate it with a burning passion for being an absolutely terrible adaptation of the comic character Constantine despite being well made. Actually, I hate it more because I know if it wasn't a Constantine adaptation, I would have loved it. On the...

Demon King's Gardener is an adult slice-of-life fantasy romcom starring two autistic aroace leads in their forties in a queernormative setting with a large cast. It has some spicy scenes but they aren't a focus (maybe one or two scenes per 13 chapters, as that's how I break up my seasons)...

I was going to reply basically the same thing lol One gem from that story: I had one character named Rooster, because he was cocky and proud. Guess what nickname I used for him instead of his name.

Seconding iPad! before I got a more expensive desktop tablet, I drew primarily on a refurbished iPad using Procreate and it worked really well! I honestly miss Procreate on my desktop, ha ha - it's just a very intuitive drawing program compared to others I've tried. It's not free, but it's low...

I kind of do a mix of everything ha ha - currently building out a constructed language for one series of names, so they started out made up and now they have meanings relevant to the characters/stories lol

I don't think I've ever actually seen this as the explanation in any isekai I've watched? ? The explanations for the why I've seen are almost always some variation of "giving the MC an opportunity to learn from the mistakes of their past life." Most commonly, "office drones" needing to learn a...

Since there are already a lot of great answers about length, I'm going to talk about this instead. While it's true you'll want a good backlog for more frequent updates for Rising Stars on RR, what will build you a long term audience is consistency, not constancy. You need to work out a posting...

@TheEldritchGod and @The_3rd_Book "Pantser" in this instance refers to writers that do not plan their stories ahead of time, instead just figuring things out as they go. It's from the idiom "by the seat of your pants", which... means to do something without a plan ?

A better version of "show don't tell" I've heard is "know when to expand and contract". @Tyranomaster was touching on it, but a more useful skill as a writer is knowing when a scene is better expanded - that is, including more detail - or when a scene is better contracted. I often contract...

Finally finished reading through this thread! Since you wondered if anyone read your catch-ups, I genuinely enjoy reading your reviews for their consideration, solid critique, and encouragement, so yes! I did! (I also enjoyed hearing your misadventures of talking to strange shirtless men in the...

I usually modify more than full retcon. In example: in the early chapters of DKG, I said humans get "demonic posioning" from eating too much demon food. I initially planned for this to be about like metaphysical energy due to the "realms" in the story being different planes of reality that had...

More familiar with the Creature, yes - but I was specifically saying that you don't immediately think of the Creature as a golem, and those familiar with the term "golem" don't think of the Creature first as the definition of the term. So I would say while the Creature is a more infamous...

I think it's more of a Tiffany Problem than a Tolkien problem: tl;dr, people think they know more about what's historically accurate than they actually do. Tiffany, as a name, has been in use since the 1500s as a diminutive of Theophania - but if you use it for a character in a medieval setting...

World Anvil Grandmaster here! I really enjoy it as a wiki, but keep in mind the primary audience and user-base is for TTRPGs, so novel wikis generally get less attention than TTRPG-focused ones. They also support manuscript uploads for authors, and while I have some current issues with the...

I started posting DKG here after 2 years posting on Tapas and RR, so I love an opportunity to post all the covers I've done for it, ha ha! (P.S. my favorite of yours is the third one - I think you really nailed the composition in that one! It frames the MC really well!)

The way I did nobility in my story has to do with the cultural views of kingship in my demon society. They see their kings (used as a gender neutral term) as the person able to protect an entire kingdom (mega cities for them) by being able to solve the big problems no one else can. So it often...
