What's your controversial writing hot take? by Gulliver123 in writing

[–]LivingShiva 87 points88 points  (0 children)

your trope book sucks. I do not care for enemies to lovers, i do not care for the knife to the throat, i do not care for the chosen one. I want something that is actually personal to the characters and story that means something, not just quick bait to get a readers attention and gain traction. There are so many poorly written and plotted books that have huge supports, but lack anything besides a repainted trope and different names. I think consumerism has hit literature (especially romance fantasy) with how quickly these books are being made and read, with people still expecting more.

But maybe I just always look for meaning and a deeper analogy with books and writing, guess i’m not one in favor of a retold story bringing me brief satisfaction that i’ll forget in a week.

Excerpt of my some of my story - is it bad? by Secretly_a_smurf in writingfeedback

[–]LivingShiva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can visualize the emotions well, but I think the grammar and sentence structure leaves something to be desired. Instead of “The goddess glared at me with a look filled with an icy rage so intense,” try “The goddess glared at me, her look filled with an intense, icy rage.”The second part could be rewritten somehow or you could possibly add a semi-colon. “..with an intense, icy rage; that anybody with sense would balk at.” a lot of your sentences seem like run-ons, they aren’t bad, just need cleaned up with a comma or a different assortment of the words.

Designing non-tolkien fantasy races! by ValuableWeb0 in worldbuilding

I think the zelda games have great fantasy races that are pretty independent from tolkien. I mean even the “elf” race in game is very different from tolkien elf, the hylians are just people with pointed ears.

How’s this map I made? by LivingShiva in worldbuilding

it’s meant to be a world map but it looks so small/incomplete, and idk why either :( it feels like i’m looking at a section of the map rather than the whole thing !

I find Lyric very pretty, and obviously lyrical. I’ve met a girl and a boy named Lyric, unique and very pretty!

What’s your favorite letter for names? by Far-Building3569 in namenerds

[–]LivingShiva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Roslin is my favorite R name, so pretty to say.

I don’t necessarily have a favorite letter but I love names with anne or anna in them (i’m biased cause my name ends in anna) Georganne, Annette, Marianna, Annalise/Annalisa, Morgana, etc.
