    What do you think about Loli?

    Lolis are perfect height for headpats. Beyond that, does anything else matter?

    Which Maid Employment Service would you pick?

    Foxgirls win, obviously. Fluffiest tails, and cutest.

    Why stories about foxes are so popular?

    Was sent this and told to reply to it, so... Foxes exist damn near everywhere that is aboveground, so everyone knows of them. Essentially every culture ever to see them considers them as tricksters and cunning, which make for interesting characters. Most mythological foxes can shapeshift into...

    Any authors here who....

    Not exactly spite, but I have been annoyed at several aspects of stories I read, and now I have a story that doesn't have those. Still really need to improve at writing though, I still think I suck after three years.

    Cannon Fodder

    I prefer unintelligent beings like animals. More specifically, mutated ones, because I hate seeing normal animals killed. Any kind of corrupted creature is good. I also really had the typical 'generic human #9482' type stuff, because all those people have homes, families, lives outside of...

    You ever get intimidated with a book idea? Like you won't be able to do it justice?

    Absolutely. I am 100% confident that I am not yet skilled enough to properly write the first story I came up with. Hopefully I'll end up good enough to write it before I die. Then there are also cases of lacking knowledge. I don't know relationships, so I can't write them properly. I don't...

    Fantasy metals tier list

    Personally, I've always thought of mythril as being light and extremely good for magic while slightly stronger than steel, orichalcum is horrible for magic but incredibly strong and pretty heavy, then adamantium being the divine metal that is light and both good for magic as well as incredibly...

    Favorite Type of Protagonist

    I mostly like characters with more knowledge and skill than power. Why waste your energy with a huge fireball and blow someone apart when you can light their head on fire and boil their brain? Why bother with overpowering someone in combat when you can just spike them in a joint and stab their...

    Swords and stuff.

    In my story, mutated creatures often have very tough skin, shells, strong scales, or some combination. Swords are nearly useless against the biggest threat, so most weaponry is blunt in nature. Staves are popular among farmers due to the ease of use, ability to use as a walking stick, and...

    Worm Fanfics

    I never finished it, but this one was pretty good as far as I read. WH40k + Worm. The Weaver Option And for anyone who thinks controlling bugs doesn't sound that scary, you are mistaken due to the sheer scale. Spoiler warning, but this video is a good example of some of the shit she does -...

    Favourite environment to write?

    I cannot write at my PC, I get distracted 100% of the time. I got a laptop for that and started writing on my bed. I started falling asleep, so now I have a special writing chair up against the wall where I can still hear my music. I don't use that chair for anything except writing and...

    Just got my first one star rating

    Most people are unwilling to leave a review due to the increased effort it takes, while a rating only takes a second or two, and thus is far more likely to be utilized.

    How to improve as an author?

    The only thing I can think of that hasn't been mentioned yet is to try finding writing prompts once in a while to see how you'd do something that isn't normally your focus. That can help you find ways to change your writing around, which might help a bit. Maybe try writing in a different style...

    How do you guys start a story?

    Mostly, I come up with a basic idea I find interesting, then design a world around that idea, make a few characters, and then drop them into the world. Then I just observe the results and that is the story. At best, I can nudge it a little bit here and there, but mostly it makes itself, and I...

    Stories/Characters you really want to rip off

    I always find I want enough changes that I don't think it even counts as ripping off something that already exists. That said, foxgirls of all sorts.

    Just got my first one star rating

    I think it is more likely to be a troll than anything else normally. Especially the case if you don't get any other lower star ratings. I just consider it proof that I'm "a real writer" since someone bothered to troll me, which means I had to be visible to some degree. Alternatively, you can...

    Okay, Last One! When it comes to a High Fantasy setting, which FMC species shines best?

    Foxgirl is the best by far because fluffy tail. Bonus points if it is big enough for them to hug, because that makes them even cuter.

    When it comes to FMC, what race/species do most readers want to read about the most?

    Gotta go with foxgirl. Bonus points if tail is big enough for them to hug. Gotta have fluffy tail! If I see a story that is obviously about (or has a common char that is) a foxgirl, it basically guarantees that I will at least attempt to read it.

    How would you deal with your Protagonist as a Mid-stage Villain?

    Step 1: Use the far too uncommon long-term thinking. Step 2: Act based on long-term thinking instead of short-term. Step 3: I'm not considered a villain anymore? That works.
