You're an unknown brilliant wordsmith, in short, a god of storytelling - creating a whole new world by the power of writing. Therefore, you're able to control and prohibit the characters while being able to narrate what actions you've made them not do and do, and similarly, you also have the power of mind-reading because you can write what your made-up character is thinking.

Now then, assuming you really are a 'brilliant wordsmith', what would you use that power for? Is it to create a world of self-fulfillment? Is it to make a world forced to be created because of this so-called 'work'? Is it to create a character of your true self or a future daughter you'll have in the future?

I'd use this power to create a world in which I got to re-write the whole last season of Game of Thrones.

 

[CadmarLegend]

I'd use that power to become a professional author and a editor, making lots of Buckaroos!

 

[Motsu]

I'd use that power to rewrite my entire life - thus, changing my fate... get it?

Spoiler: I dare you...

Not a fucking self-fulfillment - god, this is what they call - using my gift in a way they are supposed to be used!

Make them play out irl social issues/conflicts and maybe find a way to resolve it somehow or show it in a different light.

Or create a funny light hearted story and where the characters worahip the author as the creator for having such a written go happy life compared to other stories out there.

Make one about aliens discovery and all races coming together to live in harmony (all races of humans, all races of demons and monsters, all races of aliens, gods and goddesses, etc.)

I might create a self-fulfilling story about making a character named meepman suffer and dropping it after 7 chapters and finally posting it on this site...

Oh no! He knows too much...

Give your story world peace. Make it just slice of life everyday in that story, and make it wholesome.

Ah wish fulfillment...

Now I want to rewrite the whole Star Wars series by starting with the 'If she breathes, she's a thot!' and continuing with this image.

I'd use that power to get rid of TikTok and ensure a platform like it never appears again.

Are you gonna get rid of Instag and Snapchat next too? XD
Other video sharing clip platforms also exist.

I write for a number of reasons, and desire to write in the future for a few more.

I enjoy writing because I desire a creative outlet. It is a skill I feel adept at, but in other avenues, certain factors get in the way of my creation. I like to see a world spring to life, and I want to populate it with characters that feel real, and I want to treat them as such, allowing them to decide at times the flow of the story.

I like writing also as a bit of a thought experiment playground - I can write about topics that would be extremely controversial if I was writing about them in a more modern setting. In fantasy however, I can write without restraint, simply examining certain ideas, without being constricted by whether they represent my views or not.

Later on in life, I would like to write to generate some portion of my income, but that's not essential to me. What I find more intriguing is the idea of being able to make a meaningful impact on the lives of real people. One such example - I've felt a bit distraught in my writing - that because I felt like I had very little family conflict growing up, I have a hard time portraying difficult family situations, and have avoided it. But I have considered the possibility that maybe, portraying characters that have come from happy families, and showing healthy relationships, I can show to such people that there is another way from what they've experienced, and that they don't need to be afraid that they will become like their parents or other such things if they get married and have a family.

That I think is my grand goal of writing - to help people, in some small way. Even if it is to lift them from depression for a moment, to encourage them that they can overcome their trials in life, and their own inner weaknesses, it is something I seek to do.

I would consider it. It’d be like Death Note, but for the especially cancerous social media platforms.

lol i sense youtube will be next.
You can get rid of as many platforms as you want, but there'll always be some stupid or cringey content uploaded by people on any platform. Getting rid of one platform will just make them move to another platform. :/

That’s why I said it’d be like Death Note. They will keep popping up, but as platforms see that some invisible entity is targeting them, they will realize they’ve got to clean up the cancer on their platform to avoid being targeted. Starting up a new platform and populating it is an expensive endeavour after all, for it to be shut down with simple words from a random person is a huge financial blow.

To fix the problem, rather than changing all the people on the platform in one go which is an impossible endeavour for one man to acheive, target the much smaller in number platforms, the system itself so to speak, and push them into a corner where they’re left with no choice but to care about the garbage they let proliferate. If they decide it’s no longer profitable and give up, then so be it.

Platforms typically only become cancer when they grow too big. If people using those giant platforms split up between many smaller platforms, the overall concentration of cancer decreases and becomes more easily manageable among those smaller platforms. When a cancer is too large, it’s growth is exponential, but when it is isolated into smaller clusters, the cancer can be dealt with.

I feel like the Light Yagami of platform killing.

I just want my work to get an anime adaptation.

So...taking out on smaller companies when the bigger ones hold a lot of those problems themselves? XD

Platforms don't become cancer bc they're too big, but when they let dumb and insensitive content be rampant on their site.

And Death Note...didn't they overdo the killing? Eventually this can and will potentially leads to censoring and shutdown of things. And it'll get to a point where they they go too far...

Well true, whatever storyworld you want to build in.

My threads don't seem to appear in Latest Topics... am I considered a bot now? ANSWEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR.

Spoiler: Where's your hoaxes for April Fools Day?

It didn't appear in your mind to tell the whole world you won't be procrastinating any longer?! Seriously, disappointing.
