A voice slowly crackles in over the Castle’s PA system.
“This is Dark Overlord Michael. I am terribly sorry that Stewie had to literally vanish, but I needed him elsewhere. As you all know, Stewie is helping me run the Stewards of the Pen team and has already lost track of his duties. I am sorry for all the confusion this may cause. You are free…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper, Lol! You are free to use me in whatever capacity for your story you wish. I just wanted you to get an idea of what I could be as a villain in this sort of parody.

A dark vapor seeped through the cracks of the door as heavy footsteps echoed ever closer. Slowly. No…Methodically. Yeah, methodically would probably be the best word to describe the sound. A sound that was only interrupted by a brief silence, some murmuring and cursing about armor cinching up, and followed by what sounded like a metal boot…[Read more]

@Daeus For your rating questions, you might consider structuring them based on agreement.
So, instead of asking:
How much does a book’s prosaic quality influence whether you will share about it with others? (the writing style)You would say:

Talk to me a little more. What exactly is slowing you down or what are you unsatisfied with?A HUGE part of writers block for me is not knowing how to tie everything together (I have a VERY intricate backstory because the story is about uncovering a mystery).

@dragon-snapper, LOL!
@warrioroftherealm, yeah, it totally answers the question. I like that concept. Especially if that is something the MC is usually really good at (sword fighting that is). forcing him out of his comfort zone is a great story choice. It can also force you to think of creative ways for him to get out of difficult situations,…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm, I know this wasn’t really part of the question, but I’m curious what purpose this situation serves for the overall narrative. I know it is good to be as accurate as possible when it comes to these sorts of things, but there are always exceptions to the rule. You could make this experience extremely painful for the hero if…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya, if you or anyone else has suggestions for new songs to add to lists, please feel free to share them here and I’ll do my best to add them on Spotify. Not everything is on spotify, but I’ll do my best.
