    A New Player in the Force (SW/Lite Gamer)

    With respect, this is the first time I've commented on one of your stories, despite following you for some time. So the hostility is a little unwarranted, especially when my primary concern in that section was about pacing not content. Secondly, as someone who writes, I know that even when I've...

    A New Player in the Force (SW/Lite Gamer)

    No, I absolutely agree. Not about the lightsaber skill growth stuff, but about the changing POVs feeling really frustrating. It feels really jarring to have something that's been built up this much repeatedly interrupted for things that, while necessary to the story as a whole, are significantly...

    Our Teacher is a Devil (Youjo Senki x BNHA)

    I'm going to assume this is directed to the point about cliffhangers. What I'll tell you is that that is only true when there is a next chapter to move to. In narrative episodic series, it's a lazy writing technique, because it's intended to force the reader to come back to have a satisfying...

    Our Teacher is a Devil (Youjo Senki x BNHA)

    I may be alone in feeling this way, but this chapter felt narratively unsatisfying to me. I'm struggling to pin down why (aside from the frustrating cliffhanger, which is a terrible writing technique that is seriously overused at this point), and the best I can come up with is that I don't...

    A Recycled Hope (Star Wars IV self-insert)

    That's reasonable, I just wasn't sure if that was where the Author was headed. In my opinion, it varies based on interpretation. There's no "right" answer for the Force. It could be conceptual, or it could be physical. The idea of midichlorians from the prequels would support a more physical...

    A Recycled Hope (Star Wars IV self-insert)

    I assume it is the assumption of his maximum ability? He's claiming to be unable to lift 5 tons, because his previous maximum is considerably less than that. So, therefore he needs to improve his maximum. Because he is a living thing, he can grow in strength through exercise, and that's what...

    All of Eternity at Your Fingertips (Concept thread)

    So, I'm not much of a writer either. But I'm willing to do research on time periods for historical data and do editing, if it will help? I'm interested in seeing where this goes. As a side note, while All of Eternity is the fanfic that lead me to this site, I'm not actually that versed in the...
