That was really neat to watch

I think the key difference is that the sex robot is mean to be in the place of a real person. The way in that a real person treats this sex robot is more directly related to how he would prefer to treat womon. This is very different to how a storyteller treats their characters. A writer...

My first attempt was when I was about 7 or 8. I don't remember what it was about, but I think it was time travel. I gave it to my mom to read and she told me it wasn't very good. I never looked at writing again since then. It was a terrible blow to my potential writing career, but it is...

When I think of Ghosts, I also think of them being generally invisible. However, how do the ghosts interact with the physical world? Can they move objects by physically picking them up, thereby becoming somewhat tangible during that, or do they have telekinesis to move objects. If they are...

From what I have seen in some arena combat history, it was done for fame and fortune. Gladiators rarely fought to the death, and the idea of being a gladiator brought fame and wealth to the fighter that otherwise would have led a life of poverty. So, in my view, willingly fighting in the ring...

I've been reading mostly sci-fi lately, with some fantasy. I don't really read much beyond that.

My inspiration comes from my days playing role playing games. Although I did not give it much thought at the time, it is an incredible creative outlet. The many sourcebooks are full of useful information which is used to craft characters, build out a world, and write out a plot line. However, in...

weapons need to maintain strength and durability. Bones are structurally strong, but I doubt that they can hold a sharp edge. Bones also do not have the mass to become an effective club, as compared to an iron club at least. Also probably once used as a weapon, technology has simply evolved...

Hi BJ. Welcome. I feel exactly the same way as you. I really want to write a novel, as I really like the creative outlet. I never seem to be able to get to writing though. I know that we can help each other by helping us turn our interest into a reality. Personally, I've been spending too much...

In my opinion, I prefer a realistic perspective. When I'm looking at a new book that I otherwise know nothing about, I find that the cover helps to convey the theme and setting very clearly. Is magic an important factor, it is likely portrayed in the cover. The sense of wonder and design of the...

Welcome. I am also an avid writer of RPG gaming campaigns. Although not D&D, I have done vampire, and Legend of the Five Rings. It was actually my experience in writing in these settings and writing for those characters that made me want to write my own novel.

For me, when it comes to dragons, if they have wings, they can fly. If you talk to a physicists or a biologist, they would certainly tell you that Dragons are simply too heavy for those wings to function in the manner that a 'typical' dragon is seen flying. So, although magic doesn't need to be...

I think I would mainly be concerned with how is administering the punishment, who is receiving, and how the individual should be viewed by the reader. An ambivalent King enacting harsh punishment vs a Hero main character who executes the punishment. It is certainly an interesting idea, and is...

Very nice! I wish I had that talent.

This was a great little piece of advise. To kind of take it on a tangent, I'm building a fantasy world, what are your thoughts on writing short stories, and using those stories within a home made fantasy world that will encompass all of the stories that I write?
