Absolute Write is a toxic wasteland being investigated for defamation, cyber bullying, malware viruses through ads, and damaging advice given to authors, aspiring and otherwise. Silencing and banning anyone who crosses them, no infraction too small. These are supposed to be writing sites...

For me it all depends on the story, the setting, if the dragon is sentient or not, size, color, personality. If it's good, or evil, pet, or ride, or challenge, or set to guard something or someone. It all depends.

Hello

Hello. I've never been good at side hustles myself, but what kind of stuff are you interested in?

The adventure. I've read LotR, Dragonlance almost every Brian Jacques, and various Star Wars books multiple times (there are others, these are just off the top of my head). It's all depends on how the writer thinks about the reader. The characters, the adventure, the quest, the ending.

One reason for me is when the writer just writes whatever without thinking how it actually sounds to another person. Too many writers use fancy words to sound smart, educated, but don't really think about how those words sound in an actual human sentence, read aloud. And if I have to keep...

WattPad is one option, and it's free. It does have a lot of cringe/strange/disturbing fan fiction and stories, but at least your stories would be out in the public. And again, it's free.

Again with the insults. See, no matter what I post you narcissistic ones gotta come poke poke poke. Can't help yourself, can you? No, you can scribble out 100 thoughts. The ideas are the ones that become stories. So you three can have all the butterfly farts all you want, the rest of us have...

Thieves and narcissists couldn't care less, because they're thieves and narcissists. Public domain is for everyone. Fair Use is prime thieving territory.

I'm still working it out myself. It's like a lightbulb came on and I'm still trying to find the right words. Prompts are just pieces, what we today call ideas. So maybe back in the day it was "prompts", "thoughts", and "ideas". Prompt: "Did you hear? Old George took a spill with a suitcase."...

Thanks for sharing, but thieves don't care about any of this. If it hasn't been officially declared they will do whatever they want, that's what being a thief and liar is all about. And that 90-120 year thing is nuts. We can look at it as protection of our stuff sure, but dang no wonder...

When it comes to Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, or DC they'll sue the **** out of you, THEN look into it to see if it really was copyright infringement. They want the copyright laws to be chaotic because they want to control as much as possible. And monopolies are supposed to be illegal.

It's a complicated mess fueled by greed, jealousy, and narcissism going back generations. The prompt vs idea system was created this way on purpose so it would be frustrating to tell prompt from idea. There's no quick answer. Example: Sleepy Hollow. The original story is the idea, everything...

Because there's a vast difference between prompt and idea. All these PI writers have used the same prompt

I know prompts can't be copyrighted. I said "the thief makes a quick finished draft quickly published, that can always be rewritten later." That can be copyrighted. Every time an idea is taken, all the original writer has is the original prompt in some form and has to start over, again...or they...
