Tl;dr local autist wants to make things less ambiguous and more helpful, other equally funny jokes coming next week The writing advice 'Whenever you get stuck, kill a character' is widely accepted as being categorically bad in just about every way writing advice can be, so much so that I'm just...

3rd Person is significantly more comfortable to write for me, and it's for a very specific reason. When I have my protagonist just be wrong about something or make a mistake in 1st person, I the author get personally called out for it. When I do the same thing in 3rd person, people go 'oh wow...

Hit me. I want your truly worst and most cursed concoctions to soothe my wounded soul

If I'm a god with all the time in the world to do it? To start with, we gotta have spontaneously generating monsters with varying levels of aesthetic coherence and a limited but large selection of random characteristics based on where they generate. After that, humanoid and intelligent versions...

1. He'd probably try to check if it's a 'dumb animal' type of baby dragon or 'as smart as an adult human' type of baby dragon. In either case, he'd be forced to kill it himself or hide it from people who would want it dead, but the scientific value he would try and obtain nonetheless. 2...

I don't care, as long as the protagonist has enough attachment to the original world that it actually matters to his characterization aside from checking a box and giving him cheats.

Mine, An Infinite Perspective, is about superpowers generally, romance secondarily. It's about to end what I've been referring to in my notes as the 'first' 'arc', and begin its proper second. A perfect time to get invested in the characters before the plot really begins!

I realize my initial reply didn't address the vampire part of the question. Ahem. Vampire hunger is usually more of a symbolic or metaphorical thing, than an actual literal hunger. They feel compelled to do so in a way that injures others, but there is no evidence to suggest, in any piece of...

I have a 'post it to check if I want to write more' attitude. I can be completely sold on a concept, think it fucks super hard, but be unsure if I want to finish it. If I post it, I find out by how often I go to write the next chapter to post whether or not I want keep going with it.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you, but from both writing and reading perspectives, I can tell you from experience that the readers don't like reincarnation being anything more than an excuse for anime nonsense, as far as the common denominator is concerned.

Absolutely not. Otherwise, every animal, humans included, is definitionally evil for participating or being complicit to predation. Yes, even herbivore animals and vegan humans are guilty. Even herbivore animals drive out competition to starvation (killing them) to secure their own food...

Other I don't identify well with names in real life, and this accidentally carries over to my writing, I feel, where the names are often the least important aspect of a character, even within the universe of the story

This is a weird question, because my style of writing often results in my putting out 2-4 chapters in a day and then nothing for a week or more, so I was unaware that there was a spam filter

The story demonstrably must exist before the edits, because otherwise there would be nothing to edit. Simply formal logic, that.

Plan out the story, then ignore the plan and wing it anyway, then adjust plan, then repeat

I have yet to see a magic system that doesn't have logic within it, actually. Yes, 'It does whatever the plot demands' is still logic, even if it objectively sucks in most instances where it is used.

I deleted it specifically because, if I'm going to get comments like that in my personal dms for writing it, I'm not going to post it. It's still being written, though

This thread has been like, quadruple necromancy-ed. That's a lotta necromancy. And yet, this dead horse can still take more beatings...

oh no I mean forums without those types of rules

Those exist?
