Two coming to mind at the moment ( if these are tropes): 1. Anytime YOU, THE PLAYER/READER/VIEWER, are the bad guy, or are otherwise brought into the fold. I dunno, it just never works for me. 2. The hero has had their limb cut off! But then they immediately get a replacement that looks like...

Welcome to the gang friend!

Ah, you're fine. Something being more fantastical doesn't inherently make it more interesting. And losing your emotions is hardly as boring a cost to magic use as you think. Remember, it's all in the execution. Don't be too concerned with making exciting ideas.

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...

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).

I think the answers are backwards to the question...

Fair, fair

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...

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...

"Today, I think of butterflies, and how they flutter on the edge of the wind.

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

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...

Nice to meet you!

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...
