I suppose critisism can be put on a spectrum. 1. Positive constructive feedback. The extreme. They have you and your work's best interest at heart. 2. Limited constructive feedback. The midpoint. Basically boils down to the readers' desire for you to satisfy their self interest with a carrot...

Back in the day, RPGs was a way to experience a story. Now on the other hand, RPGs have drifted further and further from that. Now their primary selling point are often 'large amounts of exploration', 'great graphics' or 'intriguing/unique/state of the art combat system' (or worst of all...

Because of that very reason. We can not experience fated love in real life, so we seek it in fiction. I don't know how the plot develops in your story, but if it is tagged as romance and has 'romance vibes' in it, then the readers will have an expectation that two characters will, eventually...

I think that the Romantic Subplot tag is meant to be used when; 1. There exists/is an implied a romantic interest between characters that is never developed. 2. There exists a romantic plot but it is not the true focus of the story. Edit: Similar to what has been said above. If your story ends...

A character having a personality is the same as saying that the character thinks and acts like a person would. This means that they have their own moral compass, strengths and weaknesses, quirks and flaws. And above all, they have emotions and make mistakes. A character without a personality is...

To make accents obvious, yeh ken make kensitent type-hoes, yeh? Or accentin' to emphasize that the character it too lazy to finish the word they are intendin' to speak. You can also use frekkin filler-words to show that the character is frekkin obsessed with its frekkin way of speaking. The...

The key is really to plan ahead, in my opinion. Writing a story is like playing a game. There are rules for the game, which the characters need to follow. Everything is fine while the rules are followed. But when someone cheats, they get called out for it. You know who I mean - that guy who...

I think strength can be taken literally or figuratively. In the literal case, it's the character's ability to overcome adversities with the blessings they've been given. In the figurative case, it's when the character is lacking the blessings required to overcome said adversities, but it...

Oh, so ranking men is fine, but not women? That's sexist. You deserve the suspension already! (On a serious note though, it should depend on whether or not you're using the same variables to rank the girls as the boys.)

The fact that this is being debated seems to me like evidence that what we were supposed to have learned from the last century hasn't quite gone home. When asked "if you had been a german under the nazi regieme, would you have helped the nazis?", most people will blatantly say no, as they are...

Eye contact is indeed intimate. But it's also a necessary part of social interaction. Expressions like "look me in the eye and say that again!" exist for a reason. Eye contact is a test of sorts, to measure what someone thinks of you. Eye contact is a way of acknowledging the other party in a...

Newton. Because I'd be curious to hear what he has to say about what he thinks about the scientific progress and discoveries made after his work. Besides, the guy gave us too much to die a virgin.

You should've tried to involve her and make her copy you once you noticed. When embarrassed, you should just make others feel even greater embarrassment. After all, she is guilty of witnessing your lunacy. It should become a moment you both writhe in bed at night over.

Please. We're all dumb. The only reason why its noticed among authors, is because they're putting their stupidity out there for everyone to see.

Well, here's my hypothesis...although it should be far too simple to be realistic. As descendants from apes, we used to hang out in trees. But supposing that because of the need for migration or natural disasters resulting in a lack of trees, we had to spend more time at ground level - where...

There is a number of ways to nerf magic, some of which have been mentioned in one way or another. 1. Reduce the level of power. This means that while there are magicians, their individual power isn't that significant. In essence, the vast majority (or all) that know magic are essentially viewed...

If you have trouble with the meaning of the rule 'show don't tell', you can think of it differently. Most people (shamelessly making assumptions here) read because they want to be entertained - because they feel something when reading the story. Whether their choice are stories that give...

I'm sure there are members here that know the arts of swearing better than me here, but oh well. Not a native english speaker however, but I'll be a smartass and give my take on it nonetheless. Other than for it's literal meaning, the word "Cunt" is to my knowledge and experience, used as...

Depends on whether there is something in the old chapters you wish the readers to have access to. Overall, we never get to read the drafts of published works because they were that - drafts. Since you're contemplating on whether to delete them or not, then you probably already want people to...
