I've been listening to Mike Brooks' Ork books on Audible over the past few weeks, and while I barely qualify as a casual 40k fan, I absolutely love the orks. I love how the rest of the universe is "grim, dark, dark, grim, there is no happiness in life, only suffering until the sweet release of...

I try to use AI as little as possible outside of editing and proofreading, but the part I'm writing in Henry Rider 3 has Henry being served a meal of a lots of Greek foods. I'm not an expert on Greek cuisine, so I just asked ChatGPT to name as many different kinds as it could. So, yeah, what do...

It'd be nice if we had the option to close or delete the threads we make in the forum in case they get dragged off topic or if drama breaks out and we don't feel like dealing with it.

Lacstarb is an unholy concoction that I've decided to have Henry Rider drink in her latest book. It stands for Lemonade, Apple Cider, Sweet Tea, And Root Beer. I'm far too big of a coward to actually make it and try it, so I'm turning to you brave and adventurous souls. Does this sound even...

I know this is a weird question, but I honestly can't tell if this crosses the line into gross territory or not. So, first a quick, a quick lesson in Henry Riderology: Henry (who is a fifteen year old girl) is in love with her best friend, Ethan, who is in love with their other best friend...

I mentioned in another thread that while I don't like the FNAF series, I admire the way Scott Cawthon was able to string people along for eleven games and counting by hiding little details in the background that observant people could piece together to discover the full story. I've wanted to do...

I just wrote this joke. I like it and I want to use it, but I'm not entirely sure if it works in its current state. So what do you think? Thumbs up or down?

Guys! Please read the entire post! My computer can't handle games, so please stop recommending PC exclusive games! I really like 4X games on paper. By 4X games, I'm talking about games like the Civilization series. I love games that let me build something and then watch it grow, improvising...

If you're here, then I think it's safe to assume you enjoy writing. But what is your LEAST favorite thing about it? For me, it's rewriting. Nothing kills my enthusiasm worse than realizing the story I've written so far won't lead organically into where I want it to go, or maybe I'm just not...

I used to love the Goosebumps books. They were probably the biggest name in kids lit when I was young. But I can't think of anything that could be considered a "modern day" Goosebumps. I know new Goosebumps books still come out occasionally, but it's nowhere near as big as it used to be. That...

How much can badly written dialogue take you out of a story? Is it a mild annoyance you can overlook if the plot is good enough? Can it absolutely ruin a story for you? Do you even notice it at all? For me, nothing ruins a story as fast as badly written dialogue. I can overlook a few problems...

My niece is having her first birthday later this month, and I need you guys' help in fulfilling my role as the Crazy Uncle. Give me ideas for the loudest, most annoying, obnoxious, age-appropriate toys you can. I want my niece to love me and her parents to hate my freaking guts. The best idea I...

I've never been on a cruise before, but I've always wanted to. Now that I'm at a point where I feel somewhat comfortable with my finances (IE, two steps above abject poverty instead of just one) I'm thinking about saving up to go on a five day cruise to Mexico with Norwegian later this year...

The way I planned for the part of Henry Rider 3 that I'm currently writing to go was, Henry and her friends get sucked into their world's version of DnD and can't escape until they reach the of the GM's campaign. That was originally going to involve them fighting some monsters, then a boss, then...

DO ME A FAVOR AND READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE REPLYING! A couple years ago, Yahtzee Croshaw released a video while he was still with The Escapist on whether or not video games needed to be fun. You can check it out below if you want: That wasn't a question I ever would have thought needed to...

I'm still writing the part of Henry Rider 3 where she's trapped inside her world's version of DnD, and right now she's in the middle of a boss fight. The whole point of this game is that it takes recognizable monsters and turns them into funny parodies of themselves. Case in point, instead of...

So, in the chapter I'm working on in Henry Rider 3, Henry and her friends have been trapped inside their world's version of D&D, and they have to steal something from a colony of penguimps (half penguin, half goblin). I decided it would be funny if the penguimps could only say "WONK!" but I'm a...

Never mind.

My sig should have three book covers on it, two for Henry Rider and one for IAFADJAGTIAFR?!. I just got told by two different people that not all of them are displaying right and haven't for a long time. All three are showing up fine for me. Can you guys see them?

I just found out there's a reddit group specifically for posting webserials on called Reddit Serials. Has anyone here posted on there before? What was your experience?
