What ScipioSmith said. Honestly, the moment I read your summary I thought, "Dracula Untold". I think that's the route you want to follow if you want to create a villain away from stereotypes--make him a hero for his people, a monster because it was the only way. Make him return and see the...

I'm actually a wee bit worried about this one. I've always gotten DLC and expansions and such, but I've never truly enjoyed them. Exceptions: -Dragon Age: Origins and DLC Return to Ostagar (revenge and closure, so sweet!) -Neverwinter Nights 2 and Mask of the Betrayer (enjoyed it even better...

I hear you about the bank account. However, take it from someone who tried to go cheap first and spent a good while reviewing books before publishing them: if the cover doesn't scream "professional" and "right genre", readers will run screaming for the hills never to be seen again. The wrong...

Hi! So, I'm probably not well suited for cover advice (I'm very good and designing stuff I don't like, but not so much the other way around). Still, from a reader's perspective: I would get rid of element 6, because if people are interested, they'll find out how many books are in the series...

Great, glad you found it! I just checked and it does appear in English, so that must be it (by Guavabot or something like that, true?). For some reason it forced me to install it in Spanish (probably the bleeep* thing detected where I live and made choices on my behalf). I think that one's the...

@Smith: Me. I'm this kind of geek too, and I love fanfiction with a passion. I know many writers look t it down their nose, but not me! So feel free to hit me with any theories/stuff. I've gone through all the games and most of the DLC, and I may or may not have spent several hours poring...

I use an android app capable to store all my projects, along with a deadline date. Each project has a progress bar that may feature the number of words written any given day versus the total of daily words you need to meet your deadline (you can recalculate the daily goal whenever you want), or...

They seem to be nice enough chaps :) As Mythopoet says, my true love are semicolons. Still, colons are okay when used correctly. I would treat them the same way you treat adverbs: there's no need to go all "adverbinator", taking them all out, but it's wise to make sure you don't put too many...

I love it. I'm sold! Great work, congrats to you and the artist both :)

Think of it like this: We're used to the definition of stories having a beginning, a middle and an ending. Story beats are highlights that help you figure out what happens in each of those parts, and how long each part should be in relation to the whole story to avoid any particular part...

Mythopoet is right in that there're several Red books out there at the moment. However, while I would tell you to try something different, I would also tell you to keep it as "cliché" as possible. Why? Because retellings and versions are all the rage right now. If you use a title that allows...

Hi! It's been done before. Dickens, as mentioned, sure. But there seems to be an attempt to a serial revival going on right now, so it might be the right moment to try it out. My two cents, for what they are worth: even if you release by "episodes", you should plot your entire novel in...
