Re: Guide to creating true fantasy languages. (Aka conlang) Step by step.
And while a conlang should not be a relex, you can be inspired. This makes it more likely after applying all the rules, the result is fitting your aesthetic. Assuming relex=relaxed... I kind of (...)

Re: Guide to creating true fantasy languages. (Aka conlang) Step by step.
<3 You're right of course. Then again it doesn't HAVE to be a forgetful race, it's simply a (...)(...)

Re: Guide to creating true fantasy languages. (Aka conlang) Step by step.
I am okay with word generation, but when it comes to grammar... *makes a sound if having grasped into a wasp nest* I would ask a few things before I went into grammar: Is it something the people (...)

Re: Framework of creating characters
A really good piece of advice. ^;^ I'd say that it should work really well for plotters. If you're a pantser. (Like me.) Might be a good idea to reverse the process. Make a character however you (...)

Re: Mysterious world
Might enjoy mine. (In the signature.) I'll let you discover and uncover the mysteries yourself. It's a pretty dark world though, so if dark fantasy isn't your thing just avoid it.

Re: Dark Fantasy.
Sounds like you'll enjoy my work. (Link in the signiture below.) I want magic and adventure and dragons with a dark twist. Preferably completed or ongoing, Magic? Double check. Adventure? Check (...)

Re: How would you describe how the 4th dimension looks to a 4th dimensional being
First. I'll agree with @Paradox, nothing can describe that accurately without actually seeing it. This is like explaining colors to a blind person. 2nd. 4thD is a thing I did research into when I wrote (...)

Re: Good Stories that have an RPG-like System but without numbers or explicit game elements?
First. The Wandering Inn does what you're looking for. It's massive enough to read for over a year if you haven't read it already. I don't know other litRPG stories that do that.

Re: What's the best re-release strategy?
I've been writing on a different site a year + ago. I took it all down. Took a year to rewrite things. Added a LOT of content to the earlier chapters that they're nearly unrecognizable from the original. (...)

Re: Free Reviews (for 10k and up) or feedback (for less than 10k stories)
Won't say no to a free review, thanks! Gota warn you though, my work is pretty dark.

Re: Quotes, italic or nothing that is the question?
Italics is the best way imo. Quotes will just confuse with a loud conversation. You do you though. ^;^

Re: Offering First Chapter Feed Back
Heck yeah! Would you prefer your feedback here or on your story? ^^ Don't mind either way to be honest. ^;^ Do what's easiest for you.

Re: Any discovery writers or "pantsers" care to share?
I'm a 99% pantser. My first random writing will eventually become the outline. (Don't get me wrong, I treat it as my actual writing. It's just that in reality I'll end up editing it beyond recognition.) (...)

Re: "Tradtional" Fantasy Reommendations?
If you don't mind some self promo... my work is also a traditional high fantasy (if by high fantasy you mean an original world with planes, gods, magic, and races like elves, dwarves, gnomes, orcs, fairies, (...)

Re: 200k word achievement feels depressing
I think you should just write at your own pace. That being said, if you really want to pick up your speed, my advice would be: Shift mental gears. Don't write on R&R fast. Write fast for yourself for (...)

Re: RR's detrimental need for every character to be cold and rational.
Because unlike real life, fiction actually need to make logical sense you know!

Re: I love reading and have been wanting to give writing a shot, but I dont know how to start.
Ah, right. I guess I should add that I've always approached writing from more of a perfectionistic angle, where I feel like I need to write as well as I possibly can. So I did start off by trying to write (...)

Re: I love reading and have been wanting to give writing a shot, but I dont know how to start.
You're going to hear a lot of opinions on this subject. I for once disagree with @Rynn... my first draft story was a 610k monster... to each their own. My advice is just start writing and see where (...)
