Realistically, what goes on? Is it like in movies where they sit in a dark office and some employee reads off their possessions (doubt it)? The specific situation here is two parents who have died and wrote wills leaving everything to their only heir (their daughter). Would there be two wills...

Identifiable symptoms usually occur within two hours. Thanks for the response, and you too Malik! I'll have to look that up.

I'm not sure if this counts as fantasy but I think it's close enough because it's not nonfiction. In the case of a disease outbreak (shameful but I'm talking zombies), how would our modern American (and international powers) military and CDC handle it? The main points of transfer are human bite...

That could be done with something like a red hot iron rod, though that would come with its own pain. If there's some sort of pain reliever in your world, that could help, but otherwise...

(sorry, not sure if you saw)

Let me take back what I said about glass eyes and antibiotics. Because of the era (I assume it's primitive compared to today), they'd likely have to cauterize it shut to prevent infection (which would very likely lead to death).

My aunt's an eye surgeon so I asked her about this one. Possibilities for removal of an eye can include: An eye tumor, which is of course when a tumor grows in or around the eye; glaucoma, which is a disease that worsens over time and causes blindness while affecting the optic nerve; general...

Oh, thank you. Cloak pin was the phrase that was right on the tip of my tongue. Maybe not used in the normal way, but I think cloak pin is close enough.

Hm, it works for me. Does this work?

I'm doing it, and it'll be the first time. I thought about it before but ultimately decided I didn't have enough drive to write all that in a month. But now I realize that really, if I don't finish, it won't be the end of the world, so I'm gonna try. I've been planning my novel for about a week...

For my series I plan on only having one book focusing on a particular plot/character. The sequel would be a different plot, and so would the next book, and so forth; what I'm asking is if that would still constitute as a series. They are all set in the same world after all, and will have...

I assume it's an accessory, but I'm wondering what the pin-like thing holding the fabric up is called.

This is virtually impossible for so many people. Money and time are not things everyone has; in fact, I'd say a good deal of the members on this website have no money or time to dedicate to such things. I think it's unfair to insist or encourage this, or make it seem "better" than reading or...

I think just letting the readers pronounce it however they see fit is a fine idea. After all, even if I made it obvious how it was supposed to be pronounced, someone would butcher it anyway. I think I'll leave them how they are and just continue to do what I'm doing, at least until someone goes...

Yeah, I know what you mean... But I really like the names. This is a hard topic for me, to be honest. I know that I can pronounce them, and so can the people I've been talking to about this for months, but I really can't deny that most people wouldn't be able to... Then again, I'm reading Throne...
