Ohhhh, this is great!

Devor submitted a new blog post The Dark Lord: Trope Reboot In the battle between good and terrible storytelling, we look for personal conflicts with complex characters. Yet one trope gives our villain vague power and simple goals. It promises our readers a straightforward fight against the...

Stuff from the action Shounen, like Fairy Tail, Yona of the Dawn, My Hero Academia. I find words distracting when I'm trying to write, so the Japanese is good for me.

I've been writing to a lot of anime music lately. It's probably a good metaphor for my work that it sounds awesome but I can't understand a word they're saying. Wouldn't you say Steerpike?

I haven't read much about werewolves, but I have done extensive reading on drinking..... Wait, that isn't right. I've done extensive reading WHILE drinking. That's it. So I have no idea about whether werewolves get drunk, but if not they're missing out. Wouldn't you say Black Dragon?

In the US the quotes go inside the comma. ((edit)) Wow that was bad. In the US the comma goes inside the quotes.

My first thought: How else would you cope with being a werewolf?

Lost was on ABC primetime - it's not rated "mature." There's some violence, but it's not graphic. There isn't any real swearing. A lot of characters do die, sadly, and on screen. Lost is weird and twisty and hard to follow. But I personally feel that it gets a bad rap and makes way more...

It requires an equal sign. SPOILER=Something that will appear in bold ^ Put that in the open bracket and it will work.

Sometimes it disappears and you have to log out and back in for it to come back.

Although we discourage it, if you PM me or another moderator, we will remove a narrative, but not the corresponding comments. Since the Showcase and the Challenges area are members-only forums, it would be very unusual for a publisher to consider it an issue. I'm not immediately sure if I can...

I know I gave you a bunch of suggestions above, but to be brutally honest Skip.knox, a monthly newsletter like the one you're brainstorming isn't the marketing tact I would recommend. Your strength is history. Cool. Scrap the crap and focus on that. Make a list of twenty historical places...
