I will read this.

Throwing my hat in regarding the UI changes. Main Page: Too much negative space, and too clean if that makes any sense. Side bar could be a little compact/condensed. Icons are very square. Could use some contrast in the story select links, or background could be a touch darker when mousing over...

Leans heavily into scenarios 2 through 4, with 3 being the most direct. 2 I can see the MC being advised, by the trusted elf advisor, who served his father before him, and his father before him, and his father before him, for what would be the best way to maintain the family...

Where are you on Warhammer Elves? The High Elves are infuriatingly competent due to their long lives that they basically wrote the book on Justified Narcissism. So there's your superiority complex. (scenario 2-ish) Dark Elves are their emo edgy cousin who forgot what safe-words are and revel...

On a more lighthearted note, 1. I wish that my metabolism would adjust so that, on average, my usual caloric intake is just under maintenance, so I'm always slightly underfed. 2. I wish that my dice rolls would be slightly less random, so it's not so swingy on either side of the dm screen. 3. I...

1. I wish that someone would love me for me. 2. I wish that I was worthy of that love. 3. I wish that I know how I will inevitably fuck Wish 2 up, so I can accidentally make sure that Wish 1 never happens.

To build off of TheLowKing, at some point, you're going to have to publish your chapter, or you'll be stuck in the eternal editing/rewriting loop. I used to give my chapter blocks 2 rounds of 1- week marinates before I made myself publish them, or else they would stay stuck in draft-hell, and...

Bonus if that character is a Sister/Nun/Clergy(wo)man that is somehow immune but not really to the Queen's growing corruption influence. A Lady in Waiting or Handmaiden would work too, but she'd most likely be her first follower.

I am also in this line of thinking. Makes for more interesting stories as you explore that character's mindset shifting from "This is unacceptable!" to "Sacrifices must be made" to just stone cold "It must be so".

Dammit. The World-Building bit of my brain has kicked in. With the assumption that the Queen will have to retake her seat of power, most likely her capital city, in order to reinstate herself as reigning monarch, she would have to offer up the only meaningful resource she has, which are her...

Is turning the queen into a succubus/witch too played out as a trope? Upon further thought, look up Morathi from Warhammer Fantasy. She's a great inspiration for a queen who deals with demons.

What about Man Vs. Life, where the individual's life just fucking sucks, but they must still trudge along nonetheless because of reasons outside their control? And all they want is for it to not suck for a little while?

564. The De-Sluttification of Sarah Miller: Realizing that she's wasted her 20's chasing after men that only wanted her for her body, Sarah Miller has finally met the man she wants to settle down with. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to marry a woman that's been with many men before. Can she keep...

Simple answer? Couldn't find anything that I wanted to read, so I said, "fuck it, I'll write it myself".

After putting in probably way too much thought into this, if it's a ritual event at neutral territory, the fights could be purely ceremonial and performative to appease the Gods for healthy children, following which is the actual reason they've gathered. A weekend-long massive orgy, where all...
