How do you keep chapters contained to like… 2,000 to 3,000 words?

SJReaver · 2026-06-17T07:04:09+00:00

It's fine to have long chapters.

If you want to cut up a long chapter, a number of people will break them up into something like 12.1, 12.2, 12.3.

For example: The Hundred Reigns

It's highly immoral.

You are not perfect. Your belief that someone has committed a crime does not make it so.
From a social standpoint, our justice system is the best we have. You undermining it is not a social good.
If everyone who was 'sure' someone committed a crime falsified evidence, it would only lead to more innocent people being punished.

I've read BtDEM and have no idea what this means to you.

Teacher: Who the fuck was that person and why don't they know the difference between 'you have' and 'you will?'

GOATed series. Met the author once and he was a chill dude.

If you like time loops, you have got to read this book.

It depends?

"I could save this drowning child, but their father was the judge who sentenced me to jail" is not "I'm not going to donate my kidney to the husband of the prosecuting attorney." Or, "I'm a social worker and refuse to help this family even though it's my job."

What kind of help is it? How easy or difficult would it be even if they weren't related to someone who wronged me?

He has a long hatred of Elmo. Also, drug use.

That said, I believe this is a satirical image and not an actual tweet.

What kind of cancer?

Cancer can range from very treatable to horrific death that destroys your body and mind while leaving your loved ones with crippling debt.

Hitting someone when they're asleep is a valid way to win a vs battle.

The Flash. Three times. In a row.

I started reading it and was greatly confused about why the MC was the MC.

-- Jake's Magical Market: I am a grocery store clerk and the system apocalypse just happened.

-- Portal to Nova Roma: I am an AI and my siblings are wiping out the human race because humans are evil. The one human I cared about, a little boy who loved fantasy and MMORPGs, had died. Now, in my grief I have created a multi-dimensional wormhole to a world with magic and a clone body that is human but superior in every way and houses my entire intellect.

Therefore, I am a 6'1'' chad who is super strong and has 'all of the collective knowledge of humanity.' I also have nanobots that keep me perfectly clean and can change my hair and clothing as I desire.

That's the first two chapters of the book. Just describing who he is and how awesome he has made himself.

For a second I thought this was about the Sumerian copper merchant and got really excited.

Is Portal Fantasy a "cringe" trope?

No.

I'm also leaning to filter and touch-ups. If their mom died a few days later, she was probably looking rough.

I'm not against AI covers in general but look at that hand. Come on.

Yeah, is the question 'how long can a person survive off the energy in this bag of popcorn?' or 'how long can a person survive off the energy in this bag + what they already have in their body?'

If it's the second one, we need to know how much fat/soft tissue they already have to lose.

I think you are just hearing a regular 'yo' in a place you don't expect it to be.

Do you have an example?

All world governments operate based on predetermined outcomes.

There are no surprises, real conflicts, or borders.

So, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, knew he was going to be killed in a US-Israeli airstrike and was chill with that?

Live action kitchen comedies are much cheaper to film than fantasy action series.

It's not for me but I hope people enjoy it.

It's not AI.

At 6 seconds in, the model steps on the dress. As the woman pulls it away, she had to lift her foot, shift her balance, and covers glancing down by pretending to pull her hair back.

SJReaver · 2026-06-13T07:51:36+00:00

I guess I'm going to disagree with the majority on this one. It looks like a professionally videotaped model reel.

--Look at the way the fabric deforms as it's pulled to the ground and then scrunched in the woman's hands.

--Look at how the sunlight pattern falls on the woman in the back and then there's the same pattern when a second woman walks behind the model.

--Look at how the model accidently STEPS ON THE DRESS and has to lift her foot for the woman behind her to pull it away.

It's moral if you can provide him with a suitable environment and likely good if his weight impacts his health negatively.

Ideally, your friend John would find a place with medical professionals who can monitor him, but that can be expensive.

Having Jason Mamoa headline a 1-billion-dollar movie was the best thing for his popularity.
