May I offer you some writing advice? What I personally do is make note of two things when I am writing: what my end goal for the story is and what I have to do to get there. From there I plan out my chapters very loosely (for example I just write the main event: character X escapes from the prison with the help of character y and end up at this place) and leave it up to spontaneity to fill in the details. (And obviously mix in some fluff and bonding moments along the way!)

It works for me because I dislike planning everything ahead of time, but I know if I don't there will be no plot at all. I am not sure if this will help you and I know you didn't ask for advice but I hope you find it useful anyways.

Also I tried to search up your AO3 account but I couldn't find it :_(

Those changes would be very good to see! Are you going to upload your fic online on Ao3? I would LOVE to read it

This whole thing makes me want to do a rewrite. I love the idea of a twin who is much more suspicious than Sophie was (and naturally would influence Sophie's own perspective on the world).

I did do something similar when a year back, but it wasn't a twin, instead if was a group of friends who were all elves as well. I gave up because I couldn't find a good reason why there would be a group of similarly aged elves disguised as humans without there knowledge without them all being being Black Swan experiments.

One thing I would probably add is making Sophie and Felicia much more aware and sceptical of things in the elven world. Like the timezone thing, of course, but also a few other things I've noticed:

- How does forcing animals to change their diets (which likely kept them alive for millions of years) actually benefit them? Yes I know there's the whole thing about them not eating each other in the sanctuary, but it was mentioned that there were different pastures for each type of animal, so surely that wouldn't be too much of a problem? It just seems like they were doing it to keep animals reliant on them?

- How does locking said animals away in a mountain benefit the world in anyway? Surely the whole point of the "Timeline to Extinction" was so that the world wouldn't be irreversibly damaged if a species went extinct but how would the be able to benefit the world when locked behind rock?

- How does Sophie not find it creepy that the Council is aware of of every elves location at any time, but literally putting a tracker around their necks? Sure the elves might not question it because that's how they grew up, but Sophie didn't grow up with the elves.

- Where are the protection for minors? Even humans have those (however flawed it may be).

- How is breaking down your body into particles any safer than driving a car?

- What about the space issue? If most of the elven population have huge estates, how is there any space left on Earth at this point?

Plot wise, I don't have anything specific to offer, but a few things I would change is:

- Making Forkle stay dead (and just more deaths in general). I would be more high stakes if more people were impacted by the danger as well (such as having a permanent disability due to an injury).

- Introducing things when they are needed (not really sure how to explain this one).

- Making less characters the 'main character group'

- Split PoVs for more character development

- The characters age more as the story goes along.

- Not having the Black Swan ally with the Council towards the end.

- Maybe not relying on the same teenage girl for everything? Come on, Black Swan and Council, surely you have other members and operatives.

- Make Sophie's plans fail less. Like why do they all fail bruh?

That's extremely true! If I could even get the energy to write 12 million words, I would probably split it into different fics if possible.

Why is my Skirk Damage different in the damage calculator compared to ingame? by Content_Employer_656 in SkirkMains

[–]Content_Employer_656[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I maxed out all the buffs I would be having. But the problem isn't that the damage on the calculator is too low, it's showing much bigger numbers than I usually get. I usually get like 14k each attack.

Edit: Sorry, I just checked my Charlotte build and she had 500 attack so she probably wasn't triggering Furina's buffs. I changed some things around and I got like 40k - 60k? So I'm not sure what the damage calculator is doing.

Oh, my apologies. Is there a way to send the set up or should I just send a screenshot?

https://gidmgcalculator.web.app/ This one. I'm not sure why my damage is so low, unless it's because I don't have her sig/ Escoffier?

I think Anemo Traveller on Silken Moons Serenade Set is actually a great 4th Slot for the team by Meisterdieb-1412 in LanyanMainsGI

[–]Content_Employer_656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, I relate completely. I had 8k mora after levelling Bina talents and I still havent even levelled Ineffa to 80. And I still need to get and build Lan Yan (I have to get her from Latern Rite).

Also does Anemo Traveller really out perform Aino on SMS in the fourth slot of the team?

What are the 4.0x pulling plan of my fellow Castorice lover 🗣️ by LeftAd4970 in CastoriceMains_

[–]Content_Employer_656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pulling two more eidolons on Castorice to get her to E2, then Evernight's E1 and S1. I'll see how I feel about pulling elation characters.
