I'd actually have to say the most surprising thing about the experience was how easy it became after making the first 50-100 words. It's something that sounds really hard to anyone who's never done it before, but really most of the work is on the research and prep end. You need to get some idea...

I created a language. I just didn't like the idea of typing in nonsense when my characters were listening to a fantasy language, so I made a con-lang for the purpose of having the characters talk. I looked up a lot of videos about creating languages, and they brought up another advantage of...

I actually invented an entire language just to make it easier to name people in my series. Well, that and the fact I don't like using random characters when people are speaking foreign languages, so I wanted to have characters speaking this other language until my cast was able to understand them.

A little girl facing a mild identity crisis after getting into a car accident.

I think the writer "akaswell" who writes the "Markets and Multiverses" and "A Budding Scientist in a Fantasy World" series has a very firm handle on story engines. Especially in Markets and Multiverses. That series is a slow-rolling serial transmigration story in which the characters are reborn...

Yeah, I was talking about Kenichi.

I think you essentially just described "History's Strongest Disciple" For another recommendation... this one is NOT based in the modern day. Rather, it's based in a sci-fi futuristic setting in which humans have been in an inter-planetary age for a long period of time. It is called "Super...

Question. Have you read WARD? Sequel to WORM by the same author. I assume it's likely since you are aware of WORM and WARD is also up on the same site, but unlike WORM which is on the home page of the site, you actually have to poke around a little bit in order to find WARD. So, I figured I'd at...

This is all the vampire music you'll ever need.

Just like every person is different, the same goes for father figures. There are two primary goals of a good parent to their children. 1. Protect them and enable them to grow up into adulthood. 2. Teach them the skills they will need to live their adult life successfully. There is usually a...

I've done some janitorial work. In that capacity, I've actually entered the opposite gender bathroom somewhat on the regular. I just knock on the door, announce myself and wait a bit for anyone to respond, hang a wet floor sign, and go right in. Nothing at all appealing about it. I'm just...

So long as the power ranking system remains consistent throughout, you can have as many systems as you like. In my world, I leave the number of systems indistinct with the implication there are infinitely many.

Speaking as someone in an editing group, so long as someone gives you the google doc access, it's actually quite easy to make corrections as you read. Although, that is assuming a certain base level of competence in the writer in the first place. (There's a reason real professional editors...

Now you're just guessing names off the list. No.

Oh, believe me, I know he's a bit of an odd-man-out in the crowd. Where the rest of the greats on this list were pioneers because they were brilliant men really pushing their industries forward, Reki Kawahara was more of an accidental pioneer who was only in the right place at the right time by...

Hmm... how should I say this... one of them is very VERY close. In fact, I think I actually have to go back to my sources now. You might have even got it depending on some interpretations of the mixed up and unclear history of which figure later became which other figure in the myths. (Of...

Nope. Honestly, I'm not sure how to give more hints without getting extremely obvious with it now... hmm.... Ok, I'll say this one. Overly Sarcastic Productions on Youtube are the only ones I've ever really encountered in terms of easily available sources of information in terms of the stuff...

It's both, actually. When trying to appeal to a certain demographic, you will write in a manner that is different from those geared toward other demographics. This is especially the case in Japanese fiction. Seinen, Shonen, Josei, and Shojo are all demographic-genre tags, and they are all...

... No, dude, I think you're just not very well connected with the literary world. But... well... even if I grant you the normie perspective argument on this one, LoTR was the key source of inspiration and reference for the early development of D&D, which in turn wound up influencing the...

Ok, I will concede the apples and oranges point somewhat, but if you're comparing based on scale, Toriyama did the same as you're acredditing Tolkein with, twice. Toriyama did the exact same thing for the Shonen genre that Tolkein did with the high fantasy genre. (The entire thesis here was that...
