Yes, Kahle. Almost all my posts are centered around the same story. I am a pretty sheepish writer, so I love all the feedback! Thank you everyone!

I would like to elaborate and expand on my idea just a little. First: I use the term "hero" loosely. A hero in my story is someone who is both powerful to some extent, and has a fan-base of some sort. A powerful person that nobody likes or no one has ever heard of doesn't count, and neither...

The way I have the city economy set up is that, inside the city center are portals that lead to very secluded wilderness areas where raw materials can be mined and collected, as well as food grown in relative safety, which was developed to thwart sieges. The city is in the center of a very...

Adventurers, but above and beyond the "regular" ones. Almost every person in the city has some fighting skill, but the guys I am wondering about are the celebrity/super-charged/epic ones, the upper crust, at least in comparative power. This city has a much higher concentration of them than...

In my WIP, I have a city who's main export is, to put it simply, heroes. The equipment, people, and everything else required is produced within the city. A chunk of the city's standing army is made up of heroes. They walk with the common people in the streets, and have rich fulfilling lives...

I have always loved the Rule of Cool. I easily accept just about anything that has massive amounts of style. My question is, what do you consider to be "cool" in your personal writings?

Well... I would say this would be a way that people have become enveloped in magic over time. Especially since the warrior parts of the soul are the ones producing the artifacts, I think that weapons growing underneath the ground, getting a little sharper, and a bit more dangerous every time a...

Sorry about the double post!

I wanted to make the weapons seem more alive than regular mundane weapons. These weapons are semi-concious, and symbiotic in nature. They latch on to a person with potential, and help them. When the person dies, so does the weapon, since it can't support itself at that point. I also wanted to...

I had an idea for my WIP, and I was hoping for some feedback on it. In my main setting, a very militarized uber-magical city, there are two divisions of the military. One is a volunteer/draft horde of lightly trained and equipped citizen soldiers that essentially just guard the walls and...

I have rigged up sledges and sleds to a horse before, and it may not be a perfect match, but I can describe those. Two poles, extending from the ground, the sled, or whatever you are hauling, straight towards the horse's shoulders. Then, make a girth strap around the horse, like a saddle, except...

When I have gone on extended horseback trips, usually a couple days, we have always gone at about a walk. A person on foot would probably cover 20ish miles a day if they didn't stop much, but I have gone 35 at not too hard a pace on a horse, and still had time for lunch and breaks. I have...

I have personally jumped off a cliff of between 95 and 100 feet. The sensation is just like jumping off a ten foot cliff... until you brace for impact, and you realize you are still insanely high up! You cross your arms over your chest, and tuck your chin without sticking your head out. On...

Maybe give them a history a bit like St. Petersburg? Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I remember correctly, the city was built on marshland next to a river. None of the foundations stuck, but the czar didn't give up. Eventually, the corpses of 40,000 or so serfs (maybe?) firmed up the ground...
