Case-by-case basis. If they only show up for a couple of scenes, then I don't name them. If they are in a couple of chapters, then yes I'd give them a name because it be too much of a hassle to constantly call them by their adjectives, titles, or whatever.

Seeing people talk ill about others as if they are not part of the problem really need to take a hard look at themselves in the mirror and ask, "Why am I such a piece of shit?" There are at least 2 people in this community that need to really do this. Ignorance is a sin.

When you use statistics and historical facts to justify that one race or group of people are inferior: that is fucking racism. Just letting people know.

Do research on what your target audience wants and give it to them. Post daily/weekly/in a timely manner so that your audience's attention doesn't wane. Communication here and there to update your audience on what is happening with the series.

Yeah. It is sometimes easier to just take something that is already done, especially if it has been done over a thousand times (Medieval Europe, Fantasy Egypt, Generic Elves) Are there any small aspects of life that you always take into consideration when making your cultures? I know some...

How do you guys go about creating unique cultures within your fantasy worlds? Do you take influences and inspiration from modern cultures found around the world today or in the past? Or do you try to build it off of the unique characteristics of a particular race or species? An example of that...

When I was writing 5k words per chapter it was like 4 chapters to reach 20k word count. 6-7 now since I write chapter at 2.5k to 3k words.

Ohh, I never seen Colombo. I'll give it a watch. Thank you for the recommendation
