    Writing Prompt write a conditional super power

    You can fly, but only while inside a moving plane. (Not my own idea, but my favorite useless superpower...right along with:) 13th Bullet Immunity- You are immune to bullets, but only after being shot 12 times.

    Which Cover Art Looks Better?

    I would definitely go for the second. The first looks...awkward to me?

    Does anyone here knows a lot about swords?

    Bear in mind, with Shadversity, he isn't a Historian, Smith, or any sort of actual expert, just a history buff. That said, some of his stuff his good. There are not really any particular 'best' weapon styles or forms. Most weapons were developed to deal with specific threats and are the result...

    I love the stats you get on your stories. So much more informative for a writer than Royal Road's 'stats'.

    Genres

    No...not really. I mean, I voted for them because I do like Comics and Graphic Novels, but they aren't genres.

    This really feels like something they should work on!

    How essential are the tags?

    I never said you couldn't. Some of the magic systems in A Game of Thrones would roughly constitute as Hard and others Soft. That doesn't make the distinction any less defined. It absolutely is well defined. You even defined it yourself. The fact that you can find definitions for it that is...

    Sell/Unsell me on Genderbender Stories

    That's probably a fair assessment. I definitely think it would be difficult.

    Sell/Unsell me on Genderbender Stories

    I hear what you are saying. I find that there are stories I read for good plots and stories I read for...well, not the plot. And yeah, sex scenes can certainly get in the way of a good plot, I definitely won't disagree! As to how to do it, unfortunately that's going to be a matter for everyone's...

    How essential are the tags?

    They are. Just google them. Hard vs Soft Magic systems brings up 84 million results. They are widely accepted terms used to subdivide magic in literature. And while, like Hard and Soft Sci-fi, there might have specific examples that are debated where they should fall, the existence of the...

    How essential are the tags?

    Those are very specific things. Hard Magic systems have definitive rules that the characters and the readers are aware of, that shape out the magic works. The Mistborn series is a great example of this, where each type of magic does something very specific, so if a character is a Lurcher or a...

    Exclusive, non-exclusive or relying on readers for support via Patreon etc.?

    The problem I am having with Patreon is figuring out how to switch things so that once a new post is out, the permissions change for the lower level subscriber. Like if you have X gets 3 chapters and Y gets 6, is there anyway to set it so that on a certain day, one of those chapters blocked to Y...

    Agreed. Why write a succubus if you aren't going to write sex in it?

    How to find decent editor?

    A proper editor isn't cheap because it is a skill and a time-consuming activity. Rereads and beta readers willing to provide feedback can be great in lieu of a professional editor. However, they won't be as good as a professional, typically.

    Why do some authors use present tense narration?

    I find present tense stories to just feel weird. I don't know if I could make a whole novel written in present tense. That said, I appreciate that it is simply based on familiarity. I'm sure it probably could work, but I don't know if I would make it through it.
