    10 Years To Save The World

    This isn't the same thing but it's loosely inspired... It's 20 years instead of 10... I have no idea what the options r. does that count? :blob_evil_two: TW: 9/11 If only the span was 20 years! I could have an interesting tale. I'm thinking... what if this takes place in January 2000. MC is...

    Why is every almost fantasy adventure story with a female MC gender bender?

    Okay, thanks for clarifying! It's mostly just the words "excuse" that really made me think that way. Other than that, yeah... it's not my cup of tea, either. It never will be. I'll never like reincarnation (unless it makes sense, also known as Hollow Knight). Hopefully, the trend will go away...

    Why is every almost fantasy adventure story with a female MC gender bender?

    I highly doubt it's a sexist thing (as it seems that you're implying). I hate gender-benders in general, and I despise the "male forced to be hot, gorgeous female" trope as much as you do (if not more). However, that's just where people follow. We can't do much about it. If I write something...

    Story requests

    Why, I have just the right thing for you! If you truly have no care for any genre, then perhaps you should try a slice-of-life, that also hangs as a tragedy. For many, it's a short, 500-word story. For me, it's real life. Perhaps not the same story, but extremely similar ones are happening all...

    Dream Diary Thread

    I've only had this dream twice or three times, but it spooks me still. I am first given this cutscene. I'm watching from the outside-in. There's a family in a log cabin dancing around a fire. They're singing German songs. I don't know any German, but I can feel it. Everyone is having a good...

    Writing Prompt Generator 1: Goblin's Gold

    I always think metaphorically. It's just how I roll. A lot of my short stories aren't ever actually about fantasy adventures. The funny thing is, the longer my piece, the more I use fantasy elements. Assuming that you want a short story, here's my immediate thought: MC is out for the material...

    What do you think of BL Harem?

    Personally? Not really. I find them boring (especially since they're more prone to love triangles, or squares, or hexagons, or pentagons?) and I was never a fan of the "Manga" and "Anime" genre for books. However, they seem to be popular (there's probably a Harem on the top 10 trending list...

    How far will you read before a story "hooks" you?

    Never was a fan of the Twilight-style character movie introductions. If your first chapter is introducing every character, what they like and dislike, their ambitions, etc., it just feels like I'm getting too much information. I want to learn that with the characters. Basically, SHOW your...

    How to tell if a plot is shit

    I beg to differ. Infodumps, while extremely tedious and annoying, have been done well. For example, The Hunger Games trilogy is well-known and loved by a multitude of people. Guess what? It had multiple tedious infodumps and happens to not be one of those things that the author "doesn't know...
