    I survived today

    Iowa and Nebraska drew the short straw. Some really mindboggling footage on twitter of it. Texas also got hit some.

    I survived today

    I'm not expected to see it until 4-6 PM depending on when storm clouds start to crop up.

    I survived today

    It's safer underground. Also, hours before we expected tornados to start up, we're getting some, and Nebraska has had a huge one already. A potentially mile wide wedge tornado.

    I'm hoping that I survive today, big storms making waves in the midwest.

    Inside of you there are two dragons

    One demands I finish my current story before writing a new one. The other tells me to start writing other stories in addition to the current one, and assures me that it won't cause problems.

    You would lose.

    Individually, the Tiger beats me, but as a species, Tiger's have really been getting their asses handed to them by humans for millennia, lul. "Oh no, I hope no one takes it personally that I killed their friend, tracks me back to my family of tigers, and burns the whole forest down, stabbing...

    What is the optimal time to upload?

    I do 12pm central us time. It gets it up there for lunchtime breaks for 2 or 3 time zones in the US, and the chapter is up for readers when they get home. That said, like 35% of my readers are on other continents, so....

    Writing Should I repost my story when I have more chapters?

    I wouldn't advise it. Your story already has 50+ readers. They won't be happy if you suddenly repost everything and have to wait through multiple chapters (if they even find it again.). Unless you've really retooled the whole plot (removed or added entire characters or plotlines), you...

    Tyranomaster's Guide to Getting Readers

    Joking aside, it does help a wall of text appear much less daunting when it looks like there is a single highlighted sentence that you can latch on to for skimming purposes.

    Writing Prompt Reader Interactive Novel?

    I find that to be very interesting as a take. I see it as a master course in world building and planning, rather than pantsing, though from experience, I do know that both work. I've played in D&D campaigns with DMs who did both styles and it works. I personally run D&D campaigns in a...

    Writing Prompt Reader Interactive Novel?

    As long as you put general guard rails in the book and keep an internal world running, it's basically just running a D&D campaign, and those have been working for decades.

    Whatever I end up writing next, IF I end up writing something after my current story, I do not...

    Whatever I end up writing next, IF I end up writing something after my current story, I do not want more realism. The sheer amount of research I'm doing for this story is driving me mad. Though, it'd arguably be worse if I have to make everything up and keep it consistent...

    Tyranomaster's Guide to Getting Readers

    I don't want to be rude, but for many of the people who ask for advice on how to get readers, I felt like their attention spans required an embedded cliffs notes.

    They can be fun to participate in (See D&D and Pathfinder), but generally don't make good reads in retrospect.

    A discussion about why some of the best stories come from talented writers with a whim

    I have 2 theories, and it's probably some degree of both. First and foremost, these people were already storytellers, and knew the fundamentals, without that, it's pointless. First theory relates to a common line in all those situations, the author was interested and engaged in their story...

    Can a Human become Ominiscient

    The brain is incapable of true omniscience. It'd instantly drive them completely insane, and likely render them brain dead. As Paul said, omniscience by proxy is basically as good as it gets.
