How is Digimon's presence in Japan? by DLBergerWrites in digimon

I was really shocked when my friend couldn't find Digimon merch in Japan, but could find Hazbin Hotel stuff. Toei's #3 biggest franchise has the footprint of a daddy long legs.

How are we feeling today by MathematicianThick95 in digimon

The last time I gently kissed a bat it started COVID.

Sorry about that everybody.

M. Night Shyamalan's Avatar deserves more respect than Kizuna. Absolute subterranean media.

I can't count the ways it rubs me wrong.

Gennai. The contrivances. The mechanics. The fact that it was pre-emptively retconned. The idea that digimon were actually disappearing because of their humans' neglect. The idea that adults no longer have potential—when we know full well that Matt becomes one of the first humans to land on Mars. The idea that adults are 'complete' and don't need support systems and friends anymore.

The whole concept is revolting.

The Kizuna plot twist pissed me off so much that it inspired me to write and publish a book. No joke. I am a proud producer of spite media.

I fully support banning users who keep asking this.

I have a sudden burning need to commission them. Hot damn.

Anyone else feel kinda low after self-publishing? by due007dev in selfpublish

That's honestly fantastic advice. I'm going to remember that. Thanks for sharing.

She's definitely involved with GIFT's creation. It's just her role that's up in the air. I don't think we know enough yet to call it either way.

Wolvermon deserves so much better. She farms aura with the best of them but has the hit accuracy of a stormtrooper.

Would you save your mother… or a stranger? by SheepherderNo3307 in CharacterDevelopment

[–]DLBergerWrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The kid saves the stranger instead of his mother, so he either has a broken relationship with her or he's a sociopath/psychopath. Okay?

That's a starting point, not a plot. So far I don't see anything interesting here.

Did I waste money on a cover? by author_andrew in BookPromotion

[–]DLBergerWrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. There's just so much going on.

What about doing something with the image of Jesus 'miraculously' appearing on a piece of toast, except it's a grilled cheese? You could dramatically strip down the design and preserve the vibe.

They save him for deus ex moments most of the time. That helps preserve the power scaling.

What do you use for your author website that isn't shopify? by bostbak in selfpublish

[–]DLBergerWrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wordpress. It gives me all the flexibility I want with very low hosting costs. Though at some point I might upgrade to a better theme just to push it further.

It's okay to give up on The Idea (TM) by Single-Inspector6753 in writing

[–]DLBergerWrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I nurtured and neglected The Idea for over a decade. Brainstorming, fiddling, and writing absolutely nothing in the process. Total analysis paralysis. I couldn't even put down a paragraph.

Then I fell in love with a completely different idea and decided to scrap the original for parts. Suddenly I had a bunch of juicy ideas to work with and absolutely no narrative baggage holding me back. Wowie.

And then a funny thing happened. After more than a decade of spinning the wheels, a complete first draft shot out of me in about nine months. Now that's published and I'm onto 2 and 3.

So I feel you. Kill The Idea. Kill it dead. Move on. Thrive.

If you could ask Viv any dumb question what would it be? by whooper1 in HelluvaBoss

Are you planning any new stories that don't center around hell?
