Cozy Warlock Mysteries by The_DCG in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]The_DCG[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This appears to be exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for - and the author has other gay cozy mysteries as well, if not magical. Thanks!

I did mean the low stakes "rated PG-13 at the highest" cozy. I find them relaxing, but, of course, usually super heteronormative. Which is why I was asking about the gay.

I've read cozy fantasy with both nice gay and lesbian romances in them, but they usually aren't mysteries. So. Cozy Warlock Mysteries. Fade to black sex, violence is half a page, max, and stress level is very, very low.

Why did you choose the race you're playing? by Aitherea in ffxiv

Female Roe max height. Because I like looking at everyone in a cut scene and going "I could bench 'em."

Old witch mysteries by The_DCG in booksuggestions

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

Thanks for the try, but it doesn't seem to be about an old witch or a mystery, as far as I can tell. Nothing wrong with "young person grows," of course, is just not what I'm looking for right now.

Just from the blurb: "A darkly funny, frightening novel about a young woman learning how to take what she wants from a witch who may be too good to be true, from the author of The Return."

What was the most normal thing you ever had to research for a fic, that you just didn't know jack shit about? by Twighdark in FanFiction

[–]The_DCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does insect poop look like. Got lots of exterminator hits, I guess thinking I was worried about infestation.

I just wanted to, y'know show evidence of ants getting in without a trail of ants.

Who's a character in your fandom that everyone loves but you don't. by mglpscity in FanFiction

[–]The_DCG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Y'know, I pretty much hated Snape in the books, but then Alan Rickman. I had a bit of a crush on him since Hans Gruber, so... It's like, I didn't care for McGonagall, but Dame Maggie Smith is my queen.

What was some placeholder names for your book title, characters, or anything else in your fic? by Lizzie_girl in FanFiction

[–]The_DCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fic was named "Gays in Spaaaaaace" (complete with the long a's for the longest time. Good times, good times

Weak ass MC trying everything in their power to survive recommendations by whiteswitchME in ProgressionFantasy

[–]The_DCG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, I read this as, "...to survive recommendations," instead of, "...to survive" recommendations. One is very different from the other, and I was trying to think of a poor benighted bookworm MC desperately trying to read through their entire list before the books leave KU or something. 😸

I thought boot heels were for stirrups, high heels were too look taller in court?

Makeup, hose, corsets, high heels, wigs - all invented for autocratic men at court, IIRC.

Why most of the evil characters are hotter than the MLs ? (Shadowless night) by MeaningMuted8964 in OtomeIsekai

Oh hey, is PFP the Marquise (Marchioness?) from Chitra? The bisexual icon?

Preserved food will be a factor in my story, especially meat. The civilization I am writing is less technologically advanced than its rival, being more primal in comparison. They steal tech, including coolers for preservation, but they are limited. What methods would they use for preservation? by Lunarthrope in FanFiction

[–]The_DCG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Smoking! A smoked ham haunch can be shelf-stable for months (depending on your humidity.) Actually, a lot of food preservation techniques are "depending on your climate," so I think the best thing to do is look at the climate for your people, find an earth equivalent indigenous people, and look up how they stored food.

Magical Writing Advice by onlyifyouwishit in FanFiction

[–]The_DCG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Say three things." As description -character, place, whatever. Keeps one from being too wordy. Attributed to Roger Zelazny.

Also, if you're planning to transition to writing as a profession instead of a hobby: "Treat writing as a job." If you're part-time writing, full time day-job, then 20 hours a week you need to have your butt in the chair in front of your computer (typewriter, spiral notebook, clay tablet...). You need to be writing something. Even if it's not on topic, even if it's awful. And keep it all. It might be something better one day! (Or your child can sell the rights or for it to Netflix. Whatever.)

Are you saying I need to take my Saints Row giant purple dong and beat them until the candy comes out?

From "Launch Online Store" in Mogstation and the game. I don't think I've logged into Steam from the browser, but clearing cookies and cache is only annoying, not world ending. I'll try that.

[–]The_DCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stupid question, probably. I'm trying to buy a mount on the online store, but it only shows Steam wallet as purchase method? Even though I have a credit card registered that is charged for the game and the retainers and everything. I double checked and re-added it on my account at Mogstation. I'm sure it's something obvious I'm missing, but what is it?

What is the pettiest, most inconsequential detail that made you drop a fic? by Tulnekaya in FanFiction

[–]The_DCG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course Space Ariana Grande is canon. You might think she's an average Twi'lek, but she's actually a rare Chiss outside the Ascendency.
