Give me a few months...maybe a year or two...and then you can read Siren Called. It's going to be a pirate-themed isekai without any litrpg mechanics.

Getting real specific here, but the way my dad always told me to deal with bullies when I was a kid. "Hey, man, come on now! This isn't cool and I think you're smart enough to know that. How about you get your act together and we can go do something real fun instead of this baloney? I'd rather...

If you guys just want to chat, either PM each other or make your own thread. Don't take over mine.

I've decided I'm going to play as an orc bard named Big Toe who does all the stereotypical bard stuff in the most orcish way possible. Want to seduce the pretty barmaid? Challenge her to unarmed combat. Cast vicious mockery? "Hey! You am butt!" Cast bardic inspiration? "You am better kill thing...

I don't want to show it off to everyone. This is still a new project. I want as few people as necessary to see it before it's ready for release.

Got what I needed. Thanks to everyone who helped.

No, I'd rather ask the question I actually want answered.

I was writing today, and had my main character go into a room with a ton of stuff in it. The room is deliberately set up to draw your eye to what's in the exact center. I want to describe the other things that are in the room as well, but once the MC sees what's in the center, for various...

Do you guys know of any good DND podcasts, YouTube shows, etc? That's how I got into DND in the first place. I didn't really care about it at all until I discovered The Adventure Zone and loved it. And then about fifty episodes later, I stopped loving it. Then I tried listening to Critical Role...

We've all made typos, but hopefully we catch the majority of them before they go live. Occasionally one slips past and gets published for the entire world to see. What are some of the funniest typos you've accidentally posted? In Juryokine, I meant to write "Toke reached out with his powers"...

Man, with how hard it's been for me to find proofreaders and beta readers, I friggin' WISH I could get my mom to do that for me!

I'm in my 30s and I've long since learned not to talk about my books with my parents. My dad thinks anything that couldn't potentially happen in real life is "baby stuff" and the only reason to write anything is to make money off of it. It drives him crazy that I pay my artist $100+ for every...

I'm asking because the pirate isekai story I'm writing features two main characters (arguably three) instead of one, and their relationship with each other is going to be a huge factor in how the story plays out once they get interdimensionally flushed. So I need a bit of time to introduce them...

If you're reading an isekai story, what is your preference for how long it takes for the MC to get isekaid? Do you like to see what their life is like in the real world for a few chapters before being yeeted across dimensions so you have a better idea of who they are and how different their life...

That's closer to what my skinwalkers are. They're a race of shapeshifters who live in the parts of the world humanity hasn't "corrupted." Wendigos aren't made via cannibalism, you specifically have to eat a skinwalker's heart to become one, and after that you're essentially immortal as long as...

I like this word. I am culturally appropriating it.

I've had my Amber Silverblood series be called misery porn...by me. That's why I had to drop it. So much non-stop negativity, and it only kept getting worse until it just wasn't any fun to write anymore, but by then I had dug the misery hole so deep there was literally no way to give poor Amber...

I take the stance that you can't claim one group's mythology is off limits but it's open season on another's. If people are allowed to write stories like Good Omens, Marvel's Thor, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians despite not believing in the religions that spawned them, then the rules should...

The conversation basically went like this: "It's offensive to use creatures that are part of another culture's beliefs in a make believe setting." "You're writing about a gay romance between an angel and a demon." "So?" "Are you a Christian?" "I don't believe in God." "More people believe in God...

What's the worst reaction you've ever gotten to one of your books? For me, it was probably when I got kicked out of a fantasy writer's group for writing a book about skinwalkers fighting wendigos. Because not including cultures other than your own in your stories is racist, but the moment you...
