    How to write comedy?

    Say things that are true, but no one wants to admit. Say things that are far more specific than necessary. Say things that are unexpected in such a way that it makes people laugh. Listen to great comedians and pay attention not only to the jokes themselves, but the comedic timing that they...

    Since this thread has risen from the dead, doesn't that make it time for Zombies? Pulpy action sci fi with zombies in space! MC is a bit of a giant nerd. Five chapters a day until caught up with the story, then as many updates I can swing a week until it's done.

    Elon Musk Bought Twitter

    Wait two weeks then look back and see. That's my policy with anything reported in the news these days. For especially spicy news, between three and six months seems to be long enough for conspiracy theories to swap around, or liars to be unmasked. Mostly. Expect about a week of...

    Just a game created because I'm bored.

    Readers. Writers. Fictional characters in a mad god's head.

    What’s it like for a author to read their own works?

    I started writing because I ran out of stuff to read. Stuff that suited my taste as a reader, I mean. I like the story I'm writing now. It's fun to write. Fun to read, too. Hard to turn off the edit-brain when reading my own stuff, though.

    How arrogant were you when you first came here

    Personally, I'm still astounded that other people want to read the stuff I write. It's pulp, but it's not especially super awesome change the world of writing epic masterpiece level of writing. At best, it's a fun little popcorn book that you gobble up. Not especially filling, but kinda fun...

    hey, I need your help here

    Good writers write. Great writers steal. And by that I mean that before we are writers we are readers. How does your favorite author handle, say, fight scenes? Dialogue? Foreshadowing, tension, romance, intrigue, and so on. For fight scenes, the action needs to matter to the reader...

    I offer free feedback. (Closed)

    I could always use more feedback on Dr. Z's Zombie Apocalypse. It's pulp sci-fi, action, bit of mystery, and zombies. Only five chapters on SH at the moment, but I'll probably be adding more in chunks until caught up with where I writing. Edit: forgot to explain the vote. I tend to read...

    Do you have a movie playing out in your head when writing a story?

    Sometimes a movie, sometimes a video game, other times a comic book. The action scenes are definitely movie-ish.

    Is it just me or are readers on here less critical than on Royal Road?

    I've gotten some good feedback from RR. And so far, my readers have been awesome. There have been a few de gustibus comments, but that's normal. I just started posting my story here in addition today. Vauryn, I've seen the critical reviews, too. There are occasional trolls and troll...
