    Rebuilding Democracy in Another world

    That's an interesting idea. If you go the traditional medieval route of Isekai, and the also often seen "asskicking = authority" trope, you're going to find many issues to deal with. The most glaring issue of the standard medieval setting will be literacy and information. Unless you can keep...

    is it worth reviving an old story?

    Hell yeah! Take back that story, dude! I can guarantee that you'll have a lot of readers who'll be delighted to see it pop back up in their reading list! At least that's how I'd feel if a story I followed came back after a few months.

    Billionaire and Magician

    Why do I get very strong Yaoi vibes from this image? Anyway, let's take a powerful but not godlike mage, and a decently loaded billionaire. Money guy is probably going to hire magic guy for things that money can't normally buy, like immortality, magic-proofing his mansion or simply as an...

    I Am Horrified and Appalled by My Latest Discovery

    Oh ok! Then it's a power move in a BDSM context, either "I can do whatever I want with you, including lending you to fuck this person and I'm dominant enough not to care, I know you're mine!" or "Look at me fuck this person, stay still, bask into the humiliation and know that I can have fun...

    I Am Horrified and Appalled by My Latest Discovery

    Well, for BDSM, I see it as a kind of dare game for adults. When it stays Safe, Sane and Consensual , most of it is a game of trust between the participants: one is relinquishing control to the other, trusting that the other won't abuse that trust but will use it. And trust is a good base for...

    I Am Horrified and Appalled by My Latest Discovery

    How do you even willingly achieve being cuckolded? You can't communicate it, otherwise you're just an open couple or something. So, do you like pick partners with terrible track records on fidelity and hope they keep going? But to satisfy that fantasy, you have to know, so you're forced to be a...

    Writing Prompt You from the future.

    "I mean, we got some serious muscle on, bro! How often do we hit the gym?" "We don't need to hit the gym, we have one in our mansion, on-call coach and private chef too." "Private mansion?" "Yup, we're filthy rich! Take that pen and paper from your desk and write down the following numbers, then...

    What do you think about this situation?

    How do I commit blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? Please tell me so I don't end up in the same afterlife as child rapists, however repentant.

    Recommendations Submarine-related and generally naval fiction

    So, you'd lure another sea serpent with a mating call and hope they "fight"... Do you want to start a native population of sea serpents? That's how you get a native population of sea serpents! As for the "why are you using sonar and not keeping quiet" thing, you can have the sub be in active...

    Recommendations Submarine-related and generally naval fiction

    It's on Literotica but the smut content is fairly low: The Fourth Vector is a pretty cool nautical adventure (no subs though)! It's got WW2 era and below ships, a lot of nautical battles, a fair bit of landbased conflict, and an overreaching plot that I liked.

    Writing Prompt Cook me food

    Ok, let's do this! I'll offer a dish that I can actually cook myself IRL and plan to invite friends to share this week. Raclette is a dish from the Alps, some will home it to the Savoie region of France, others to Switzerland. It's quite simple to make and delicious. It's a winter dish relying...

    Writing Prompt A Stereotypical 'MURICAN vs A Stereotypical BRISH guy

    "Just what exactly is that oaf doing?" Sir Percival Hacklethorn mused while facing his opponent. This matchup had seemed quite fortunate for the preliminary round of the world cooking championship, yet Sir Hacklethorn had a nagging suspicion that his perfectly boiled lamb and his exquisite mint...

    Writing Prompt Cook me food

    Hi! Could you explain this restriction? Is it only 1 ingredient allowed (quite hard to pull), 1 plate of food with however many ingredients, 1 meal with possibly several courses? Are we allowed sides (sauces, separately cooked (or raw) veggies, legumes or carb base (rice, pasta, potatoes...

    Anti Monarchy Medieval Fantasy Stories

    To answer your original question, The Calamitous Bob on RR and maybe here has a French woman as the Isekaid hero, and a distinct lack of reverence for monarchies. To add fuel to the fire, you just got owned by an actual history nerd for playing with words. The word you are looking for is...
