    Making Up Random Names to Find It Isn't Actually Random

    I once named a character "Alaska" and it wasn't until I showed it to a beta reader that I remembered where that word came from.

    Does this description work?

    I just spent an hour writing and rewriting this, and I'm still not convinced it works. It's for a new class I came up with for one of my characters called a Sniper Cleric. Basically, he crafts special arrows that don't deal damage, but instead explode into clouds of healing powder. What do you...

    You mean the one where a plane goes back in time and an army of mutant meatballs eat the planet?

    What's the scariest book you've ever read?

    Simple question. What's the scariest book you've ever read? For me, it's probably Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer. I've always loved Lovecraftian horror, and Annihilation was like if The Color Out of Space was extended into a full novel, and the color's influence had spread to cover an entire...

    Saving the world vs just surviving?

    Slightly off topic but I just had to share this. I posted this thread on the litrpg subreddit too, and was rewarded with one of the most hilariously stupid things I've ever read:

    Saving the world vs just surviving?

    Without going too deep into it, the litrpg I'm writing is about the world being remade into an RPG system. 99% of the population is turned into NPCs who can only act and speak according to the "script" that's programmed into their brains. The last 1% are "Heroes" and they have to continuously do...

    What is the strangest way to accept tips that you can think of?

    Set up two online tip jars (I don't know what they're called) and assign a character to both of them. Tell your readers that whichever character gets more tips won't die a horrible death in the next chapter.

    Satyr Race Bio

    The thing is, they're not supposed to be that deep. They're an NPC race, which means they have just enough depth to look real on the surface, but when you interact with them you realize they're as wide as an ocean and as deep as a puddle.

    How to write dialog that doesn't sound like a WWE promo

    Then you rewrite it and read it out loud again. Repeat until it no longer feels stiff.

    Average litrpg readers age?

    I have two and a half questions: 1. Has there ever been, like, a survey to determine what the average age of litrpg readers is? 1 1/2. If not, do we at least know if it skews more toward older or younger readers? 2. If the majority of readers are younger, will they be open to reading about an...
