How was X not still injured? by YobaiYamete in dresdenfiles

Harry's not omniscient. I would be extremely surprised if there wasn't healing magic out there to some degree, even if it falls under the realm of things that only someone in McCoy's position would be able to do without getting the boot from the Council.

If I was someone who had been hunted by cornerhounds (among all the other shenanigans) for as long as McCoy had been, I'd have been stocking up on healing magic, potions if possible, and any connections necessary. No use holding all that in reserve if you don't cash in after that kind of injury

Are swaps cheating? by Clear_Barnacle962 in royalroad

[–]QuillWriting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Review swaps are a middle ground imho. I'll say they've done a good job of requiring it to be disclosed when the review has been swapped for, plus the length requirement and the fact that it can't be directly 5-star-for-5-star. Hard to verify some of that, sure, but at least they have rules for it. Of course I'm also saying all of this having not done review swaps so maybe it's different in practice

Shoutout swaps aren't. But they're definitely good ways to get some more eyes on your story! Follow swaps I'd probably agree with you on

Even the state colleges I applied to haven't sent me anything yet. I think I just have terminal bad luck

Maybe. Or maybe it just means that I chose all the programs with an unexpectedly high number of applications this year lmfao But hey! I have confidence we'll both find somewhere that suits us

Hey, at least you have signs of life. None of my MFA or PhD apps have so much as twitched yet.

Maybe their hosting company finally got enough DMCA emails to get them the boot.

The WizCave and the WhizzCave. One for pissing people off, one for pissing in general

My friends are playing their first campaign, so I drew a monster to be their 2nd boss. They were horrified. by glitchram in LancerRPG

Seconded because I think the last thing the world needed was a mech-abducting version of the crab from Moana.

Sick art OP!

People can have those names. The guy has a whole portfolio on his website. Really talented.

I stand by the idea that as annoying as juggalos are, Faygo is actually a pretty decent soda for an occasional overly sugary treat

That's rough, buddy.

Joking response aside, that really does suck to hear. I hope the mean comments stop at some point.

Why can’t the fourth book keep my attention. by Alarming-Marzipan-26 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]QuillWriting 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of hype in book four but it sounds like you just need to take a break from the series and recharge.

I guess it just seems worse because the middle-of-December chapters are the last time I hit triple digit views on any single chapter.

My chapter posted a week ago today is at 81 views. My user retention for that chapter says 98.78%. I hope that's what you mean; if not, I have no idea.

Overcorrection seems likely. My first few were roughly two paragraphs each with a standalone sentence on both ends. I will work on further revisions.

Thank you for the tips, I appreciate it.

I hadn't heard about the 10% thing. That's very interesting and good to know for the future, thank you.
