      I drove for a total of 4 hours today in order to play D&D for 5 hours, because everyone in my group either wrecked or doesn't own a car.

        pretty much only because I got one of them to pay for the gas. The campaign itself is going kind of slow, because we only meet once a month usually, but due to circumstances; it's been about three months since the last session.

        I know that feeling. The group I am involved with had a fair share of troubles this month too. Only reason why are able to meet next week is because I will be missing a class on purpose.

      This is why I can't have nice things "I'm going to get some writing done tonight!" *spends 4 hours browsing the internet* "Shit! it's 1 AM!"

      I was just called a "experienced writer"...I don't think I'm either of those things, but thanks. I hope your story does well!

        In the same vein, the question I ask myself whenever somebody says:
        "Your story is great!"
        Are you sure you are reading the same thing that i have written?

        yeah...I have very little confidence. So when I see that A Fantasy Dynasty is on the top stories list. My default reaction is "It's entirely because of the other people who work on the story. Not me"

        In my case it's less about confidence (I have enough of that) but i just have a hard time believing that what I do warrants 'Great' or even 'Good'. Give me three more years and then maybe we can speak about 'above mediocre'. Basically i need more pratice.

        It's a fantasy creature. It can have as many tails as the artist wishes for it to have.

        Some Persian dragons have seven heads. Two tails is nothing.
        Also, don't change it. Dragons are cool.

      It's weird writing stories with bad ends(especially bad ends that result in sex) and the bad ends get more likes than the continuation.

        Feh. I had a whole rant typed out, but it didn't fit into the character limit.

        Just stop Nemo. You don't know what you're talking about in this situation. There's no Bad Endings that I have written for A Fantasy Dynasty that has anything to do with a woman being "Destroyed" by having had sex.

        I would like to add that writing such stories is completely within the right to express oneself. Nobody gets hurt by writing them and if you don't like them you can, you know, read something else.

        Yes, yes, YES!!! Akina is, really, the heart and soul of the Fantasy Dynasty story so far. I'll be watching this development eagerly!

        Akina is so much fun to write. She definitely one of my favorite characters in the series.

      So I just realized that A Fantasy Dynasty has both "cowgirl" and "catgirl" tags. One is a person, the other is a sex position... :l
      1. Funatic

        Now invent a sexposition called the catgirl and introduce a cowgirl character for MAXIMUM CONFUSION!

      I went to the store today to get some perspective on what "Melon-sized breasts" would look like for an upcoming character. The answer: Big

        Considering the average watermelon is 22-26 inches(56-66cm) long and her chest-over-nipple measurement is 70 inches(177.8cm) long and an under breast measurement of 43 inches(109.22cm). Her breasts would put all but the largest watermelons to shame.

        At the end of the day, if you say 'melon sized breasts' I think peeps will realise you mean big honkers, no matter whether they think canteloupe or watermelon.

        I know that feeling...i always try to hit something between 1-2 pages in Office Word but sometimes doing more than 3/4 of a page on a side objective just really takes to much attention away from the main plot...
