    I failed

    Failed twice. Will probably fail another two times before midnight.

    Would you read this solely on the cover and title?

    God no! Sorry, this would actively make me skim past it. Better to go with no cover than this. Here are links to pics that I got in 2 minutes from an AI generator using fantasy and horror. The anime setting added a human to the mix, and I'm not going to mess around with it. I tried to attach...

    Writing I need help!!!

    They visit a pay to enter park. It's an enclosed glass dome, made to look like the outside, with genetically modified plants and animals to make it a fantasy setting. Humming flowers, friendly unicorns, dancing fairies, mermaids singing in the river, the works. There are other couples there...

    📝Calling All Pantsers! How DO You Actually Finish a Novel?

    I've finished stories and short novels while mostly pantsing. The trick for me is to have goalposts. When starting I'll either have a basic idea of what I want to accomplish, and the main characters, or I'll start with a total blank sheet. Basic idea: I don't outline, it never works for me...

    Writing How do you guys tell your readers your characters' power level?

    By putting them in various situations and showing how they deal with it. Sometimes there is a bit of a build up, with people talking about the person, or the person thinking/talking about what they can do. Depends on the story. I will sometimes do stats, but just relying on them is boring. What...

    Do you have to acknowledge current events in your story?

    No need to acknowledge them unless it directly affects the plot. Whenever I write something in the modern day, or set in the past as a historical story, I automatically make it a fictional Earth that superficially resembles the real world. Makes it much easier for me.

    What are your characters' flaws?

    Doom Valley Prep School Petra: Coward until her back is against the wall, or she's drugged. She also whines a bit. Necromancer Unmanned Keir: Definitely his ego and need to be in control. It can and has led him into bad situations and fights he didn't need to fight.

    Can your MC beat Goku tho?

    Petra can survive any Goku. She'll be horribly humiliated, and definitely suffer some amusing injuries, but Fate will find some way for Petra to survive, either by escaping him, defeating him, or turning him into a friend.

    Is there room for Urban (African) Fantasy?

    Go for it. I can't promise I'll read it, I barely have time to read my own work, but Africa needs some love. I've read about some of the cultures and folklore and it's a fascinating place.

    Would you become a Superhero?

    Depends on the power. Super speed, superman like powers, really impressive shapeshifting, yes. Although I'd rob a lot of the richer criminals and live a good life. Shoot lasers out of my eyes, really good healing, super senses, and things that don't give me a really good chance of winning...

    What is the sickest or most horrifying thing you have written?

    Long time ago, in a dark period I wrote a novella that was torture porn. The MC couldn't die because it was VR with every sensation jacked up to max level. There was rape, torture, repeated deaths, and the MC managed to turn the tables making one of their attackers commit suicide, and another go...

    What would you do when you woke up one day inside the body of your main character

    Cry and contemplate ending it all, because I put my characters through hell. I seriously don't know how my MC's stay sane.

    How do YOU write VILLAIN without sounding like a piece of 💩

    So you want a kind and sweet villain. Make them an extremist. They care about people, they truly want the best for the world and they go out of their way to help those they meet. This is partly to help get their way, but also because they really like helping people. Their image to everyone is a...
