    Swear words in Fantasy (Warning: Actual swear word examples in post)

    I don't mind swearing, even using modern day ones. They're what everyone knows after all. I feel made up swears just don't hit the same, like someone either wants to use a real one and is just backing out of it, or trying to world build. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I don't...

    Would you be put off by a novel that was only 40-60k?

    Oh wait now I see. Anyhow, yes of course. Long, short, whatever, good book's a good book. (I can't seem to edit that blunder above).

    Children’s books

    Well nevertheless, sometimes it's something people need to hear, that their writing is just poor. Whole thing about asking for feedback, gotta take the rough and the smooth. And if they were just looking for praise, well, that kind of humbling helps everyone. Bottom line I guess, don't worry...

    Children’s books

    Don't really write for children necessarily, though I've got some more family-friendly things on the backlog. As for reading, well, I suppose it depends. I'd still read Edge Chronicles and early Harry Potter, but I also had read those as a kid already, so I don't know how much that means...

    Characters getting injured or hurt, how much is too much?

    I'm supposing it depends on the tone of the story, as well as the capabilities of the characters.

    Physics of a sky ship?

    Yeah, I more or less intend to skip over it But I figure it's good info to keep on the back burner anyway.

    Physics of a sky ship?

    Sky ships. Flying boats. I'm just about willing to call them objectively cooler than regular water ships, and I'm damn sad that dirigibles are out of fashion. It's so cool to happen upon seeing one, on those rare moments they do. Naturally then, I want to add them to my stories in some way. For...

    Howdy do.

    Skyfarer here. I've also gone by RabidTheWolf. Or Dan, if'n you feel foolish using those foolish names. More to the point, I'm just some guy, an aspiring writer. Here's hoping this is the instance I don't say to myself "Ah, forget it" (in kinder words), and back out of any sort of engaging with...
