    1. Re: a unknown fantasy story

      Most authors who go unnoticed here write genres that are not mainstream on this platform, for example, me. I am a traditional fantasy author, no LitRPG, no isekai. If you're into political fantasies with (...)


    2. Re: What's your favorite show/series?(anime/movies/manga)

      I'm not an anime person (please don't come for me) but my favorite movie is La La Land, and Inception is an honorable mention. My favorite show often changes, but I'm a big fan of the Pitt at the moment. (...)


    3. Re: Confess Your Writing Sins and I Shall Bless You

      I plot and I plot and I plot and then I start writing, and ah! I get a new idea, and I put it in the novel, but then sometimes it doesn't exactly fit the plot and oops, there goes my plot.  :DrakanMelt: (...)


    4. Re: You're on the toilet and your phone is dead

      Count the tiles on the floor. 


    5. Re: Lets exchange feedback. Comment your work and I will read the first chapter.

      My fiction is a traditional high fantasy with a romance subplot, if you are interested! I'm hoping for more feedback, it doesn't have to be a grand review or anything like that, a comment or grammatical (...)


    6. Re: Do your characters ever hijack the plot and commit crimes you didn’t authorize?

      Absolutely, it happens more than I think. Sometimes they just go around killing people without my authorization  :DrakanFascinating:


    7. Re: Tell me about a location in your story

      My personal favorite location in my novel is a glowing wisteria forest. If only a place like that existed in real life.


    8. Re: Shoutout swaps for fantasy?

      Hi, I'm a fantasy writer with a small following trying to expand, check out my fictions in my signature, I am always open to doing a shoutout.


    9. Re: Skills you wish you had

      Man do I wish I was an artist. I wish I was good at drawing. There are so many times when I'm writing a scene and imagining what a finished art piece for it would look like, fully aware that all I can (...)


    10. Re: Does a protagonist NEED to suffer to make their growth feel earned, or are we just sadists?

      Characters don't NEED to suffer in order to meet their goals, but there needs to be a clear growth, there needs to be a clear line of how did we get from point A to point B, and how did that change the (...)


    11. Re: So what's the dumbest power in your world?

      Not exactly a power, but a rule for a power, people who have the ability to make portals 'Flickers' they're called, cannot wield portals in water. They can make portals anywhere else but not if they're (...)


    12. Fight scene tips?

      How does one write a fight scene? I've written them before, but sometimes they feel choppy. They take forever to think of and visualize too.


    13. Re: What is At Least One Thing You Can Improve On As a Writer?

      I often hate how much dialogue I add to all my projects, sometimes it feels like I'm reading a film script instead of a book.


    14. Re: What's Your Favorite Chapter Of Your Fiction?

      Chapter 27 and 28. It's party time!


    15. Re: Characters vs Plot vs World Building

      I like to build characters first, then ask myself, what do my characters want? What conflict is in the way of them getting it? And then boom, I basically have a plot. Then I like to add world building (...)


    16. Re: Promote your fiction here!!!

      War rages within the kingdom of Halic, and contracted heir to the throne, Ren is ordered to hunt a woman who possesses the magic only ever existing within folklore.  War rages within the kingdom of (...)


    17. Re: Short chapters are easier to read, right?

      In all honesty, I'm a person who prefers to read in short chapters, but then I write chapters that can last 3000-4000 words, oops.


    18. Re: AI for Brainstorming

      I personally don't use ai for brainstorming, but I see how it could be helpful. If you want to try out something different, I use a website called Milanote, it helps me organize my ideas and plan my novel (...)


    19. Re: Non RPG Lit

      I'm pure fantasy, and I know it's not mainstream here, as rr caters to RPGs, but I'm surprised how well my fiction has done so far. And I'm very glad to know there are also others who prefer writing traditional (...)


    20. Re: has music inspired you in any way?

      When I'm writing, I think of the scene I'm writing as a movie, and choose the music for it, because why not?
