I just looked up the nominees for the 2024 GOTY award. They're Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Black Myth Wukong, Metaphor: Refantazio, Astro Bot, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, and Balatro. Which do you think is going to win, and do you think it actually deserves the award? I wasn't a fan of...

I've written up a blurb for the next IAFADJAGTIAFR?! book, which is coming out on December 1st. what do you guys think?

In case you missed it, a Minecraft movie has been announced for April of next year, starring Jack Black. The first trailer just released a couple days ago, and I'm honestly not sure what to think of it. Obviously, the movie should not be taken seriously in any capacity. The question is, does the...

I just finished writing I Applied for a Deliver Job and Got Turned Into a Flying Reindeer?! The Revenge of Mari Lwyd. And a full two weeks before it's due to go live, too! It's 60,300 words long, barely qualifying it for novella status, but considering I wrote it in less than two months I think...

Has anyone else been having problems with the italics here in the forums? Maybe it's happening in the main site's story editor too, I don't know because I always copy and paste stuff from word documents onto that. But at least here in the forums, I can hit the italics button, type out what I...

I told Chatgpt to generate a meme. It could be about whatever it wanted, but it had to have an image and text. This is what it gave me: Your turn. Tell Chatgpt to make you a meme and post what it gives you here.

I've spent the past few days making notes for a pirate-themed story I want to write. And before you ask, no, I'm not going to use the "pirate card battle" idea I posted about a couple days ago. I told you I probably wouldn't :P Anyway, here's what I've got so far. I'd appreciate some feedback...

I mentioned yesterday that I want to write a pirate story. I've also wanted to write a card battle story for a long time, but haven't been able to come up with a system that 1. feels like an actual card game, and 2. is fun to read about. I just had an interesting idea, though. What if I...

Seriously, why is it that the only widely known example of pirate-themed high fantasy is One Piece? As a lover of all things piratey, I find this unacceptable, and I intend to address this issue by writing a book that nobody will read. It won't fix the problem, but maybe it will make me feel a...

Part of my story has the MC working at one of those mall Santa setups. I want it to be cute, but I'm worried I might be laying it on a little thick. What do you think?

Do you like high fantasy or isekai stories better? They both take place in an alternate fantasy world, but while high fantasy takes place entirely in the fantasy world, isekai involves the main character starting in our world before somehow being taken to the fantasy world. I like high fantasy...

I decided to give Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana a try today, and the first thing that jumped out at me is how this is a modern 3D game with fully voiced cutscenes, but the hero Adol is still a silent protagonist. It feels weird to have everyone chatting up a storm around you, while "you" are...

Part of my WIP takes place in one of those spots where kids get their pictures taken with Santa, but I'm having a hard time coming up with a word for it. Not the act of getting their pictures taken, but the place they do it. Right now I'm calling it a set, like a movie set, but that doesn't feel...

I just wrote an Emeril reference into one of my fight scenes, but now I'm wondering if I should change it. Do people even know who Emeril is anymore?

One of my favorite parts of worldbuilding are the little background details that nobody is really going to pay much attention to, but add a bit of flavor to the story. What are your favorite examples of this, either in your writing or someone else's? In my writing, I love coming up with random...

I just posted the first chapter of I Applied for a Delivery Job and Got Turned into a Flying Reindeer?! on Scribble Hub. I'll be posting new chapters every day until it's complete. Click the cover below if you want to check it out! When Justin Flinchley loses his job on Black Friday, he thinks...

The past few chapters of my WIP need the characters to keep track of the time, but no matter how I write it out, it looks clunky. How do you do it? "It's nine fifteen." "It's 9:15." "It's five til seven." "It's 6:55." "It's six fifty five." "It's three o'clock." "It's 3:00."

I'm hungry and can't stop thinking about potatoes. Answer the stupid poll.

I Applied for a Delivery Job and Got Turned Into a Flying Reindeer?!'s new cover is finished! What do you guys think? I'm going to start uploading chapters on November 1st :D

I'm pretty sure everyone here has at least heard the criticism that a story is just "author wish fulfillment." And while this can be a legitimate criticism, you also can't deny that there's an element of wish fulfillment in every story ever written. The hero beats the villain, falls in love with...
