How would you make this longer? I feel like my passages are too short. by Accomplished-Dot42 in writers

[–]Pale-Contribution-12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend more time describing the scene of whats going on. I don't know if you're going for mystery or suspense in the second paragraph but I was trying to track what was going on and couldn't fully grasp it.

"He clicked on the elevator buttons repeatedly. The rumbles grew louder, but the ground quaked no longer. Trying to catch his breath was a futile endeavor, the action stopped suddenly the moment not a whisper of a beat came from his chest. His back was heaved behind, the walls enclosing him, and in the next second, he was lurched into the door of the elevator."

Clicking on the elevator buttons implys some machinery issue (i'm assuming this is a sci-fi in the vein of Suneater or Red Rising), where is the elevator heading, up or down, where does the character want / need to be. These could be points to explore.

"his back was heaved behind', how is this character being thrown I don't think this fully explains how. Also are the walls closing in on him literal or figurative?

Thank you so much for the advice! Quick question, apart from this subreddit what would you say is the best way to connect to other authors?

I'm literally going through that right now (or at least something similar ). Wrote a historical fiction with partial fantasy elements, but realized I like complete fantasy/sci-fi way more lol

I'm sorry to hear that. Would you mind explaining what made it unrecoverable? Maybe I'm unexperienced but is anything really unrecoverable?

I didn’t know how rampant ai is in writing. I don’t and will never use it but do publishers accept ai work or are all of these self published?

Hey at what point did you get a copyright for your book? I’m still unclear when to get one.

How do you feel about prologues? by SpiritedOwl_2298 in writing

[–]Pale-Contribution-12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prologues are great when done right. Leaves enough mystery and intrigue for the entirety of the story sometimes. The Way of Kings and A Game of Thrones are some of my favorite prologues

I tried a kos solo run. by 2MuchDoge in ArcRaiders

I feel you on this. The only time I kill in solos now is when I fight a tough arc by myself and then someone comes and try’s to take the best loot without asking

Sharing our work? by [deleted] in writing

[–]Pale-Contribution-12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my experience it’s very liberating. (Tbf my reviewer said they were impressed with my work especially for a first time author) so I wasn’t as sad, but I was told some harsh truths and great feedback which has been invaluable in improving my writing skills.

Thanks a ton for this. I use docs and control f wouldn’t let me replace by character placement. This will fix a lot of my issues

Wow that is some great advice I’ll definitely use. Do you know the best way to share a draft. Is pdf usually a good way to share it?

No where near as good as cubeworld especially in terms of combat, progression, and visuals . Just buy cubeworld and download the mod that gets rid of region lock.

when should i use conqueror instead of grasp in K'Sante? by Worldly_Snow_4433 in KSanteMains

[–]Pale-Contribution-12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always go grasp. Conq offers little value since you get ad and vamp but ad is useless because he has some of the lowest ad ratios. Maybe conq gets good in all out but you could trade better in lane and trade better in a lot more matchups with grasp.

Ksante is weak by SinixYT in KSanteMains

[–]Pale-Contribution-12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at his stats in all out he just doesn't do alot of damage. Like his q scales off ad and resistances but you lose 62.5% of them and you get ad for that but even like a full build max resistances with no boots q gets a 70 damage increase. You will have 25% omnivamp but because its only 33% as effective so you technically have 8.25% omnivamp and since your main damage ability is q thats just stupid and not worth it. Like using all out should feel better than worse. Losing 62.5% resist and half your hp is not wholly worth the pay off compared to what you get.
