I was watching a cartoon on youtube where they were talking about Hitler's rejection at the art institute, and after that, he read alot of newspapers looking for ppl to blame, went into war and became a hero, then kinda used his angry charisma to make ppl do atrocities. Was Hitler a dangerous...

Basically, these are the accusations leveled against Isekai: https://gamerant.com/reasons-isekai-anime-bad-driving-fans-away-losing-viewers/ 7. It Relies Too Much On Stereotypes 6. The Harem Issue Is Getting Out Of Control 5. The Demon Lord/King Conundrum 4. Excessive Use Of CGI And...

Basically, filling out like a sentence or so at a time, which connect to the previous sentence. You know, like that camp game. Once the chapter is done, anyone can use it. I'll start, by writing a premise, then other people can add sentences. Richard had lived alone in the house for years, but...

Basically, something like a guy (or girl) living in an old mansion. And he's a loner but the horror premise is that people go too far and invade their personal space, and they snaps or something. Realistically, I think such people seldom are violent (sorry, Hollywood), but yeah go ahead. And...

I'm gonna lay odds that this might get buried. I can't pay anyone like a professional, sorry. I guess your payment is that you get to draw pretty much whatever you want given a vague concept. And showcase your work here. Basically, I have a revision of the Bible. All this started because I...

Been marathoning short Youtubes about better film and books. So I'm making this thread about videos about making better stories. Mostly from anime and cartoons. On the "strong" female versus the strong female. About the kishotenketsu story structure vs the three act structure. Utopian...

Sorry, I'm gonna rant. So anyway, I was looking at the word "sorceror" as opposed to "sorcerer," and it says that it's a common misspelling rather than a spelling variant. And then it occurred to me, who actually decides such things? If the something is commonly spelled that way, why isn't the...

I know writing teachers say "conflict, conflict, conflict!" and try to emphasize the importance of stakes. The susp paranoid part of my brain suspects that's Deep State's plan to get us to crave centuries of armed conflict tho. Okay, yes, having stakes does make a book more engaging. Think avout...

I don't tend to get blocked about choosing perfect words or anything like that. I only get blocked when between novels and after not writing for awhile. How do you get back into the rhythm after some time passes? I've been inactive in terms of writing from Christmas (I got some new games and was...

I read this from Matched, describing a "romantic meal out," and decided on this topic. Basically, come up with a paragraph or longer that completely captures how fucked up a society is. Bonus points if you make it sound positive. I'll try... (So yeah, social credit system, 70%...

This can be used for everyone, not just me. So like I made a chapter (it's a bonus section to a book, but want to get it done before the 18th of this month) , and it's really a transition between two chapters but it's very short, only about a page. Basically, the main character in this side...

Unless people post something quick, I'll use what I got, which is basically altered from an AI suggest. But I'd really prefer something made by real people. I'd also like a real tune. Backstory: Our hero (who takes the stage name Momo) is an amateur artist who joins a design company. One thing...

What is the darkest (or darkest comedy) chapter you've written so far? My personal record is making a McDonald's stand-in serve zombie meat. When someone balks, they're like "You're right, that won't do as part of our regular menu, it might contaminate the other stuff. Let's make it a special!"...

Okay, so one of my characters is stuck in prison, and they (begrudgingly) convince the warden to let them watch anime or read manga. But they basically are like "See if I don't pick shows that you will hate!" So they are picking a list of terrible anime. And so now I need that list, please...

It's like this, hiding (muting) books is simply bad policy. IRL, suppose you gave a book manuscript to a publisher, and he pays you money and you have every reason to believe you should see your book on the shelves. Actually he hates your book, and wants it never to see the light of day (the...

I updated my book with the new Superhero tag, and suddenly it doesn't seem to show up in the search engine for books. Nor in the updates. At least I think that's what happened. Maybe someone got offended enough by it to report it? Anyway. Yeah, it seems to have happened to someone else...

Like, I don't see it on updates, and I couldn't search for it (book name's A Hero Unmasked). I checked the others. Oracle of Tao, Tales from the Reaper, Town of Winter, and In The Moment all search (though the latter annoyingly has the same name as another book). Did I cross a line and got too...

I was reading the Black Magician Trilogy. It was my third time, and I realized that while I mostly liked Sonea's character, I was really annoyed that the author decided to shove in a gay sideplot. I think I was okay with it, so long as it was presented as a romance in context of Danny exploring...

How do you do it? How deal with people who critique your work, when you can't have a civil discussion because they've blocked PMs and chatting? Like, you can't explain why you put this and that in your book because they are unavailable. Me, I want to be liked, even if it doesn't seem that way...

And you know, feedback if you want. Though I suspect I know most of the feedback will be... It's too damned long, God, you're ranty, and of course... That's a few pop culture references and song quotes. And yes, it is a trilogy. Town of Winter and Tales from the Reaper were published...
