Idk if it has been done. A villian that keep their minion’s morale up by jacking them off.

Work for Black Hand, you got a Black Hand Job!

“You failed”

He bristled but getting his assbeat seven ways to sunday had mellowed this loss. To be fair, who expected an unwashed illiterate apostate peasant from the middle of bum fuck nowhere.

To be possibly the hero of legend?

“I won’t fail again.” He muttered angry at himself more than anything.

The emperor laughed softly for a moment.

“ You had your chance and that’s why I’m sending my incredibly well equipped, masterfully trained in cooperation elite units to deal with them. This world isn’t going to conquer itself and its just not worth it to lose a subordinate sending you after someone who through luck or what have you bested you. They’ll have confidence having beat you once. And this is why I’m the world conquering emperor.”

“Besides you look so pent up.”

The cursed tax collector gasped as the emperor’s hand expertly found its way down his trousers.

“Oh lord.” He cried.

And the emperor replied with a momentary painful clutch.

“Your Imperial Majesty.” The emperor corrected.

I mean it only took them half-way through the first season to get a single decent scene. By the time they end its practically a garuntee they’ll make one good episode.

Where I’m not solidly rooting for Sauron to win.

Hmm… Seemed like there was full employment with Sauron, sounds like a jobs man!

Part of me wonders if the only reason the orcs followed him was because of the benefits and orcs where the only ones one who applied because it was in Black Speech.

My novel. haha

Sweet!  I didn’t know you had a novel.  What’s it about?  I’m not asking for a complete plot synopsis or anything, but what’s the genre, for instance?

Lichlove- TBA 

Should we worry about abominations? Misbegotten beings, Errors, Mistakes and other things out there in the vastness of infinity? Things that shouldn’t be yet somehow cling to animate life?

Lovecraft on full display.

Unfortunately, those abominations are wreaking havoc in Ukraine

Nah, that is all human. Picking the perfect opportunity when all your opponents are too busy pursuing utopian thinking to see reality.

Thank you.

I’d be honored if you ever had the time to take a look.

@InBrightestDay

Oh, I’ll definitely get around to it sooner or later.  Going purely by length, that thing looks to be your star attraction.

Lol.

Its third. Conquest is 2^nd

and Grand inquisition is highest

All time would be Demonic for some reason. 

*touches fingers together self-consciously* yeah…. I tend to delete stories

I’ll get it read and reviewed as soon as I can – thursday maybe!

Ok, I’ve been drowining in shit due to a sick relative. Next week looking more likely. Sorry for the delay! Want to see how it goes.

I don’t even have a tea cozy.

bwahahaha

Lol I should put that on the bucket list. Nah, gym has tanning beds.

So, why do people use tanning beds instead of simply… I don’t know… going outside?

I mean its kinda egregious since arizona has 30 cloudy days at best in a year? Who knows?

There’s an interesting way to relatively date something.

Prior to the 19^th century Natural Philosophy was the word for what we’d call Science. It’s a nifty little signifer that adds more to story.

Progression Goes Natural Philosophy to Natural Science to Science. Scientist wasn’t really used until it was coined in 1833 by William Whewell 

So anything essentially prior industrial revolution. To be accurate you’d use Natural Philosopher

Miniature horseless clown carriage crashes into the cemetery – oh, all those bodies!

… You laugh but I already sorta used that joke

Calliope from the Nightmare Grotesquerie does crash into a cemetery.

Injecting scifi into high fantasy.

Lets see where this goes

Robotic necromancy…. possible.

Well it certainly would end the debate of do robots have souls.

If necromancy does work on robots then the manipulation of their animus is not out of the question.

I can relate. Last year I spent an hour hiding under a bridge because I got caught in a massive rainstorm while biking home. My wife couldn’t even come pick me up because the streets were flooded.

Had to throw the shirt and gym shorts out. It was like the grit had become solidly enmeshed in the fabric and like hell I’m gonna ruin the washer and I’m not willing to have sandy clothes every time I wash.

Hahah lessons were learned.

     One time me and a buddy went for a run without checking the weather and some how missed that there was an active tornado watch in the area.  Halfway into the run, the skies got dark, like might as well have been night, winds were threatening to uproot trees (and us) and it started raining sideways.  We had to take shelter in a nearby building until it passed.

And trust me, I’d mangle your native language far worse, Neko-baby!  

Word order seems to vary substantially among languages. According to linguist John McWhorter, there are even a few languages in which the order of words is meaningless; they have other mechanisms for identifying subject vs object, etc.

If I remember correctly, Japanese is one of those languages where the word order isn’t fixed. It’s not meaningless, but the word order isn’t nearly as fixed as it is in English  

Exterminatus is a bit harsh for porn.

JUST FOUND ANOTHER HERETIC! GET ‘EM BOYS!

JayDee,

Hoping nobody notices the whole corrupted by chaos thing.

Let’s do the time warp again.

Muhaha. For Malal shall triumph one day

It was something I don’t wish to repeat.

There is a word I hesitate to use but its the only one that accurately describes them.

It was a very disconcerting realization that it factually exists.

That Evil Exists.

Well that sucks. I hope ya ok.

It's taking some time to process for sure. And with it my ability to write is utterly frozen.

New information requires analysis and ponderance. Especially, since some people or something attempting to pass as people thoroughly violates your worldview by existing.  I have to re-evaluate.

At heart, I’m an optimistic realist. Everything will turn out for the better.

In a world of gray full of nuance and context. It's best to avoid the unrepentant black that's for sure.

And three other people at work are suffering from nightmares because of them so i’m not alone.

It’s a test, for you, @InvidiaRed

Well then I probably failed. Since I helped her after the fifth time.

It’s not all bad. When the robot revolution comes you will be spared for your assistance.

I’ve reached homeostasis on tired.

There is no explanation for some people. I picked out my kids’ clothing when they were preteens, and there were no arguments. They dressed appropriately for their age, because I believe children are children, not miniature adults or objects of desire.

Children should be allowed to be children.

I won’t pretend to understand such a mindset. I don’t want to understand anyone who actively sexualize their own children.

This is one of those questions that plague writers everywhere. Readers struggle with it as well.

There is a school of thought that chapters work at anywhere from 3-5k words per chapter. Any longer, and it’s hard to find a stopping point, since most readers don’t have the luxury of reading a book through in one sitting. Any shorter, and you hit the same problem people have with flash fiction in general: how do you convey sufficient information to hold the reader’s attention and make them want to read the next chapter?

Personally, I like 4-5k words per chapter. That’s my comfort level as a writer. As a reader, as long as you hold my attention, I’ll keep reading. I’ve stayed up half the night to finish a particularly engrossing book.  

As the faatus who assembled that 100k+ chapter way earlier, I thought it a point of pride at the the time when I had consolidated a whole bunch of smaller chapters into that mega chapter during a rewrite.  However, with a lot more experience under my belt, I’ve since realized it’s “a wall of text”, and it sort of trivializes any particular scene in the chapter when it’s as about long as JKR’s entire third book (not to mention there was *no* separation between scenes so it was all kinda “squashed” together).  An additional drawback to those writing 100k+ chapters on FF.net is that its word counter caps the per-chapter count to 65k for the story’s total word count.

I never used to really think about it, but when I re-did a couple of my old stories I did split them into chapters rather than large massive oneshots. Seemed easier to read!

….

Think of it like what happens if you wrote the two towers

Before the fellowship of the ring.

Or Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix before  harry potter and the philosopher’s stone.

Or even the empire strikes back

It sounds like they want a bit of world building or stage setting up front.

Well, not super bad then, I mean, there’s a certain popular film franchise that started off with episode number four.

Maybe

An ad stealth merged with my screen when I was looking at the status updates, so all I saw was:

“So my parent’s washer exploded. 
Its not funny… Its hilarious. I’m visiting and apparently, the chip
DQ Holiday Blizzards! “

So I clicked on expecting a totally different story. Now I’m hungry. 
 

The good news washer cost under 600 for a 7 year warranty but we had to purchase the hoses separately.

Many congratulations on your newfound freedom!

Congrats! Finishing paying off a loan always feels good.

Considering going to trade school for welding. Or something...

IANAL, however, I think trademark applies to pen names.

I never copyrighted my pen name, actually, but no one else has had the urge to use it as far as I know.  

Google search later, pen names may be trademark-protected, but aren’t copyright-protected.  Though, more practically, I think other writers (& lawyers) may gang up on somebody poaching another’s name.

A scorched-earth option, make your writing sufficiently notorious so nobody dares to be associated with it.

Lemme proofread… “12M words left” right? 

Hahaha.

No, 8k left since I essentially had to rewrite the entire novel almost from the ground up. So find another editor

getting nervous tho. What if everybody hates it? ugh..

How do you fellow writers deal with the nerves?

Close my eyes before I hit the post button.

Lol, don’t worry. I read an interview saying that the writers know that it’s going to be 5 seasons and they already know what the final scene is.

Keep spooking us @InvidiaRed and we’ll have to curse you to an eternity of watching ALL of it on continuous repeat.

No, you don’t get what the twist is. Mary Sue knocks over Vairë and smashes her loom so that the fellowship never happened. That’s the twist. A last minute jk it never happened.

One more chapter… one more chapter… words seduce, and you’ll have that million in no time! 

Maybe for my HP fanfic

Tarnished Lion =p nearly 30k dragon prints and yet three comments so I assume people enjoy it? I’m pretty sure it’s almost as many words as order of the phoenix

but I swore I’d be a full fledged writer by my birthday

My potter fic (on AO3) stands at 927k – that’s short, right?      Not sure the best way to get people to comment/review, otherwise I’d be minting them myself.

Happy birthday, IR!

Happy birthday, Invidia. Hope it’s a good one. 

Belated happy birthday wishes!!
