I like the cover, but I don't know if it fits your story. By looking at it I imagine the story to be some sort of gothic/cyberpunk mystery tale. The woman portrayed is the central focus of the story either by being the protagonist or a missing person who the real protagonist is looking for...

I got the disease way before I started writing. In fact I think my writing is essentially just a way for me to justify my worldbuilding. In the last few months I have written only a couple of pages for my stories, but dozens for my worlds. ...Needless to say that I have not found a cure yet.

Orcs often drink quite a bit in fiction. Their lifestyle of excessive eating killing and drinking should give them a pretty decent alcohol tolerance. Dwarves drink and will always drink in all fiction that has been and is yet to come. No drinking, no dwarf. Satyrs and centaurs are associated...

Interesting. But we should also consider that werewolves would likely be comparable to dogs and wolves in their tolerance of alcohol. Dogs are notoriously weak drinkers, who are not made to handle alcohol. For example, my dog accidentally drank half a beer once and he was acting strange and...

Every other insect. Flies for example. Problem solved, let's get rid of mosquitoes.

Both scenarios might happen, but it is worth a try. If a vampiric swarm attacked a fictional planet, everybody would be rooting for the guys killing them. Why make an exception for mosquitoes?

I fully agree. Bees are delightful little balls of fuzz who work tirelessly to pollinate flowers and make delicious honey. They should all receive tiny little medals for their great service to everybody. I didn't know about the sterilization plane but now I really hope it will work. Not to...

Wasps are just a bunch of bullies who dress up as friendly and useful little bees. It's time for biologists to make a pheromone that causes wasps and mosquitos to fight eachother. Maybe that will distract both of them enough to leave me alone.

I know it is just a spelling mistake, but Ant-Trolls could be an interesting race to create/use.

I really like that. My retro-futuristic world does not really require new creatures, but I think I will start doing this just as a fun little exercise.

On a non-cofveve level, this little video is just too good. What a great premise.

And it will likely increase your audience's enjoyment of the story as well. I firmly believe that when an author likes writing a scene then that will rub off on the reader.

On his deathbed Goethe said something along the lines of: "I have never understood anyone, and no-one has ever understood me." He said these words in frustration despite being surrounded by friends and family. Goethe was not an unpopular or unaccomplished man, yet even he felt isolated. Even he...

Sure thing. If you want men and women are both allowed in the league. Your club your rules :) Gentlewomen just doesn't sound nice in my opinion.

Just as the title says. If you can pick any fictional group of characters to have adventures with, who would they be? Try to limit the options to around 4 or 5. For me it would be: 1. Decimus Maximus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal...
