my bad habit is writing to friends and family like I'm writing my story. I end up including quotes and action tags. "No, I don't need anything from the store," I say with a weary sigh. <-- Like that.

Looks fine to me. But I believe I've seen some of the folks here talking about how the image review process is done by AI. They can sometimes wrongfully flag non-lewd as lewd (buttons on jackets are "nips", loinclothes are "pubic hair" etc). If you truly don't think your image was beyond the...

1, We aren't giving away our secrets. 2, My real answer: The same time daily. seriously, as long as it's consistent, that's all that really matters. Take advantage of scheduling chapters for this. Same time, same days. If you have multiple series, plan for them to be on different days so...

First off, I actually asked this not too long ago. It's good as long as it's not your first story. Your very first novel will likely just see a handful of people for the first couple uploads. I did it as my 5th, after I already had a decent reader base, and surprisingly, doing it gave me a good...

not sure if this joke has been done yet, but... Periodic is my answer.

like the walking dead did. I enjoyed the show, but when they'd go 2-3 episodes focusing on this character or that one, it just... bleh. Like the governor was an okay character, but I didn't want to sit there and watch him find a new family, then find a new group, then... Just give me rick and...

while I can't give permission to take over another author's novel, I do have a few dropped stories I started but never got around to finishing. I've got a medieval fantasy novel, i've got an immortal vampire in the modern world (He's survived multiple wars, and dearly misses the few friends he...

It's fine. and same as you would a 1v-Many. focus on the first fight, the 1v1, then when the others become relevant, bring them into it. Think of it as different stages. so, basically, you're looking at stage 1 - the 1v1. partway through that, stage 2, the formation could weaken him. He...

1-v-many is usually written as multiple 1-v-1. especially with multiples overlapping. stab at one, turn to parry another, etc. but if you've got a direction, that's good enough! I look forward to reading it when you're done :blob_wink:

I think most of the people here are forgetting one specific, but very important thing: There's a major difference to a 1-v-1 battle and a mass scale battle or an entire war. depending on the scale, you should change tactics and focus on different aspects. if it's 1-v-1, then write it just like...

It was the golden age of game development! Back then, companies took chances on trying all new things. nowadays, most games stick to tried and true formulas. and sure, a lot of them flopped back then. but i'd rather that than all the biggest games being clones of each other with only cosmetic or...

not sure what you mean by realms, but when I need different worlds within the same overall universe (not different planets, but like different planes) I usually go with something related to what's supposed to be there. I've been learning german, so a realm of hell/fire/whatever might be named...

three prong process, all require luck: 1, have the right story 2, in front of the right person 3, at the right time. That is to say, all three need to line up, or your story won't be noticed.

I think that was it!! Thank you so much! Now my poor brain can rest lol

yes, I know! I'm old and I'm sorry! Digging up old memories is rarely easy or pleasant! lol
