Not necessary. You can have a dozen started stories, and non of them finished ;)

Don't worry. Guys around will still find you cute, even if you are all sweaty ;)

Finding a partner, setting up things... I always takes so much time. This is one of the reasons why I prefer play-by-email / DM / whatever over chat roleplay. People just seem less likely to disappear there even if it still happens. Or chatRP that just goes straight to business.

That is a disappointing. As a revenge, get into the cosplay/set-up make a teasing pic and sent with text: We could have had fun, instead the fun was all mine~

Funnily enough, cosplay was part of the setting! Def a good idea for payback haha

Yet another one!

The biggest issue with RP concepts is that you need to do it with other people. This takes time. This means you may have to compromise on your idea because the other players have different ideas/limits. And most importantly: Sometimes the RNG is not in your favour.

Update: My biggest issue with RP concepts is actually scheduling a game with players. (I am trying to run an RPG after giving up on the previous one because 3/5 players never had time for it. Now I have a new campaign where it looks like we are playing once a month because none of the people who eagerly wanted to play the campaign, have time for it.)

A bad ending, however, is often caused by taking the 'easy way out' by ignoring vital points or submitting to the 'villan' whether metaphorically by simply not respawing, or literally submitting to the bad guy, usually literal in the case of erorica ;)

Then there's hidden joke endings. Those are fun.

You act like the characters' backstories aren't ALSO filled with a series of unfortunate events

I have theorycrafted at least 4 new characters in P2E this week. You're fine

I will! I promise!

Oof; try excedrin? Might be a bit strong for a headache, and you'll want to have some food with it but worth a shot; probably a bit late now but worth remembering for next time.

Migralieves are my go-to but I’ll try that next time, thank you!

Bad news, next update will take a little longer! I really need to be more careful ):

Thank you! <333

Witches and fishmen sound like a weird RPG sidequest, that has a strangely heavy moral ending choice

It’s also a deep and subtle parable for the dangers of overfishing. Just with added tentacles!

Looking forward to it! <3 <3 <3

Final until the first of the next adventure! Thank you! <3

You have done an amazing job so far!! I haven't been able to read the last chapters you posted, but I will soon! <3

Thank you Thunder! <33

It's so good! Really excited see where these stories will go next.

Same! Hopefully somewhere that lands us in trouble…

I am happy to hear that!

You can just copy the text, delete the chapter, and then recreate it as a draft.

Your initiation to online story publishing has been completed

Aaaah, been there a couple of times! DX I misclick or something, and the website refreshes or doesn't save what I'd written (⁠┛⁠◉⁠Д⁠◉⁠)⁠┛⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

It's great! A happy accident :)

My (similar?) problem is that I perennially underestimate how many words my story ideas will end up being, but only *after* I started working on them: "uh-oh, this was supposed to be a quick 25,000 words story, but now I'm at 50,000 and I'm barely even halfway done..."

My inspiration comes in tiny pieces. "I want a scene where X happens" and then I have to figure out the details like "how did we get there?" and "who are these people?"

Sometimes, yeah. However, I try not to get too carried away by them, as I know I'm not very consistent in writing (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)
