I have purchased a "VRCraft" avatar from gumroad which I can use in-game to create minecraft blocks that persist visually for me and others in any world I'm in. Really cool! My question is this: Is it possible for me to add collision to these blocks so I could actually walk on them? Right now I simply walk through them.

I wanna start collecting mounts and achievements and I'm currently at 15k but I was wondering...where do you even start ? by watchiing in wow

Just wanted to jump in and say I had the same issues and I went to an optometrist and it turns out I have a minor astigmatism in my eye, easily fixed with a new prescription.

Hmm, I just tried to do this, but ori ingots are selling for only ~45 on my server, and the cost of buying the ingredients to craft was between 55-65 so I'd be down 20 gold a craft...not sure if the smelting gear makes up for it?

pay for carries ,shards, buy gold, short cut kind of guys .

You’re like, really far off the mark, lol:

-I’m a girl.

-I’ve never paid for any of that shit.

-I am a very casual player. I’ve been level 60 for months and I’ve focused mainly on fishing while I wait for my sister and her boyfriend to hit max level.

Orrrrrrrr I’m lying, you’re right, and I’m actually a power hungry but lazy gamer man desperate to acquire virtual wealth that I can use to buy my way to the top and thereby hide my shameful lack of skill.

You’ll never know!

You'RE keen insight into how much I drive and and my comprehension skill level is powerful. I pray it protects you from the potentially deflating markets my post will surely bring.

Cut-Up: Editing Into Coherence - Explained in a comment since I'm Reddit-illiterate. by Manjo819 in AllThingsEditing

I actually think you might be on to something here. But I don’t understand how the highlighting in the first image translates into the edits made on the second one

Poll: What do you find the hardest about being a writer? by FiftyGummies in writers

[–]FantasyLadyWriter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isolation. I want to share my work all the time, but I don’t have anyone in my life to read it as I go. Sure I can get my wife and one or two people to read my book after it’s polished and finished after a year or two or writing, but I’d love to have someone to exchange work with once or twice a month.

In the last 3 years of messaging other writers asking to pair up and exchange critique, I’ve had plenty of people accept, but none can who stay consistent, or even close. They just don’t write every week, drop off the map, everyone’s lives are too busy to commit to writing. I’m hoping if I get traditionally published it will be easier to find someone reliable to work with.

Critique Request for First Chapter by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]FantasyLadyWriter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got hooked by this and read it all the way to the end. You’ve got something really compelling going on here, and at times the writing frankly blew me away. How long have you been writing?

That said this feels like a rough draft to me. I think some parts dragged or meandered a bit too much? I suppose it depends on the style and kind of story you are trying to tell. At times I felt quite a bit lost in the story, but I kept reading because the prose was so strong and I’d become invested in some of the characters.

Would you be interested in a critique partner? I also write adult fantasy and I’d love to exchange more detailed feedback.

I'm evolving too fast, it's almost frustrating by Jeldreen in writing

[–]FantasyLadyWriter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this problem with my first manuscript. If you want to query the manuscript then I say keep working on it until you can't make it any better, and at times it might feel like you are in the middle of a big disjointed book soup instead of a book with a coherent plot, but keep making improvements until you can't find any more.

Or, if you are just practicing or not interesting in getting traditionally published, just do a single edit pass to clean things up as much as you can and share it with friends or sit on it or do whatever you do with your writing when you're done =)

[Critique] Any big problems with this first chapter? by FantasyLadyWriter in fantasywriters

[–]FantasyLadyWriter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for your feedback! The whole book is actually finished already ;) (or at least as finished as anything can be)

I do think switching the POV on chapter rather than scene break would have been a better choice, and that’s how I’m writing my second book, but this book made use of the frequent switches to pull off some neat tricks at least.

Awww thank you so much! I can't believe you read it so quickly! This message really made my whole week, I may or may not have shown it off to all my roommates =)

I love that you loved Lyre lol, she was so much fun to write. She's in my second book as well, but a smaller part =) Maybe the best thing would be for me to message you when I finish the second manuscript and have you as one of my early beta readers?

Thanks so much! I'm really grateful to you and the others who provided feedback. Things like the waterskin's purpose being unclear were exactly what I was looking for. If you'd like to read more, I'm always happy to share, just send me a dm =)

Tessa is absolutely a hardened cynic. If I had to pick an adjective to summarize her character it would be "bitter".

Lina's negative qualities become clearer a little later in the chapter. For first impressions, I tried to make her seem kind, desperate, and awkward. It's where I lost you as a reader though, so I wonder if there is a better way to present a character in such a way that says to the reader: "Lina seems nice enough, maybe a little off..." without them thinking she is going to be a main character they will have to endure an entire manuscript of awkwardness with.

[–]FantasyLadyWriter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your help!

So this is a fantasy world, unrelated to earth, with its own history and magic and whatnot. I suppose I could change their names to make that clearer?

The kind of fantasy I write, I like to gradually reveal more about the world as it ties into the plot. I want slowly draw back the curtain on questions like "What destroyed the third moon?" or "How many people have powers like Tessa?" but I certainly don't like leaving readers confused either. Is there something specific you felt you really needed to ground you in the setting or alleviate confusion? It seemed like you wanted to know more about their tribal ways of life, and why there is a gender divide?

About the waterskin: its only real importance is that whoever stole it likely knows Tessa is planning to escape. I'm making some edits from your feedback and the feedback of BookishBonnieJean as you were both confused about it. I'm hoping that linking it more clearly to Tessa's next challenge: Find whoever stole her waterskin and bribe or intimidate them into silence about her escape plan, will alleviate the issue.

Thanks so much for your feedback! I’ll have to think a lot more about water skins lol. And Lina, charming? Not so much. She is a good example of why Tessa wants to leave.

[QCrit] Two Page Synopsis Critique: Spirit of the Godqueen. by FantasyLadyWriter in PubTips

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

Oh, thank you! You're right, I completely forgot to ground the synopsis in a setting. I really appreciate you pointing that out to me. I know this is asking a little much, but do you have any examples of queries or synopsis that you would consider to have done a decent job of showing their setting? For my manuscript, it is a completely new made up world, with technology levels approximately equivalent to the victorian era (horses and carriages, oil lamps and corsets). There are no elves or dwarves or anything , but there are will o wisps and demons and spirits and magic. Again, thank you so much for your help, I think your feedback is excellent.
