    A gag or a bit related to your story you're too committed to even if no one notice

    Inside joke, meta-related things, running gags, stuff like that. Something related to the novels you put on here. The one that is probably the most ridiculous for me is ranking (almost) everyone in terms of power level (based on who appeared/mentioned) for my current active novel in glossary...

    Which story of yours is probably the most suitable to have video game adaptation

    Read title I know we’re writers and not game developers, but I think many of us here have played a game or two and think about our stories could be told in other medium outside of walls of text. This is just a thought experiment and place to yap. My current story I keep updating bi-daily is...

    Writing Anyone ever think about making their characters say something VERY out-of-pocket but stop yourself from writing it

    Exactly as the title said. Usually when it comes to very dramatic scene or attempt at more morbid or dark humor (Or whatever you wanna call it). Maybe like an intrusive thoughts about making your characters say something that would probably not be super appropriate. Maybe you think it was funny...

    Writing What stories do you use as references for your work(s)?

    Everyone got their inspirations from somewhere. A story that kickstart their writing career. A catalyst that makes you actually start writing instead of reading, maybe a very moving story that really drives your passion, or writings so terrible it makes you try to write a version of it out of...

    Writing Who's that side character(s) that you naturally gel with that you give them more relevance

    I think it's fair to say many writers have that character that's either a side or background character that they gave way more screen/pagetime to than initially expected. It can kinda happen when you design a character that maybe just naturally compliment the plot or they're the only character...

    For Fun(?) Challenge: Author, draw a rough draft of a scene in your story as a comic/manga page

Very rough draft, or a completed and clean page, one or two pages, SoL or action scene, it's all up to you. Draw a page, provide the novel and...

    Writing How do you deal with/prevent/manage power creep/rising stakes in story telling?

    Any longrunning story or expanding universe with many different title under its belt is gonna have a problem with power scaling. (Especially unplanned story) I know a good deal of stories here have some actions going on and therefore some sort of power scaling that authors have to deal with. I...

    Hey authors, how much do you think of character designs. (Maybe should've could've put it in artist forum but ehhhhhhhhh)

    My character designs for my novels, doodle them myself I know some authors write and leave the drawings to artists (unless they're also an artist), but it's not as if you leave your characters completely featureless. So how much stakes to you put into character designs? Both authors who bother...

    How many paragraphs do you write?

    Or more specifically how often do you make new paragraphs with you wrote your novel. Novels are massive blocks of text, but usually divided it into multiple paragraphs when the story veered into a different topic, timeframe, and other factors. But how often is a matter of preference. Do you...

    Say something nice about your story

    Try doing that and be shameless (or self-deprecating) as much as you want. Your novel's selling point. Get one sentence sypnosis out there. What's your ridiculous premise? Say something nice about it that you think might get people read (or don't read) Current story (Mercenary of Flower) I'm...

    Supernatural creatures with one/much more weird caveats

    Let's try thinking something weird(er) with supernatural creatures (Vampire, Succubus, Mermaid, Dryad, Elf, Kappa, Fae, etc.) They're already weird but do the writers here have some sick/twisted/neat idea to make them weirder and more unique. Vampires tend to get this a lot with bunch of...

    Characters you created that you admit are blatant expy?

    Expy: Characters that are stand-in/clearly based on existing characters. We all have inspiration somewhere and probably read a story or two at least. Chances are at least one of the character you created are more transparently inspired by characters from different story from your own. Maybe...

    Before and After: How different are your characters during planning and writing?

    Just a thread for people to express how their characters changed during writing, it happens and if anyone has anything interesting to talk about or just vent in that regard go for it. For me it was between rewrite of Transmigration and Fantasy (Or T&F for short) aka Re:Maou My second...

    How often do you use Glossary?

    A bit curious since from what I saw the glossary section is empty in most stories I read. As for me I have used it for most stories of mine so far.

    Your Characters Alignment

    Alignment is a bit of a debated topic, but sometimes I think about them and how my characters fit into certain alignment. Fun to think about despite how heavily debated it is. Maybe I'm just weird. I'll show the alignment of the three main characters of Re:Maou Isekai Fantasy and the reason I...
