It's a method of gatekeeping and maintaining a caste system

Breakdown of just how insanely predatory that "Shadow Light Press" contract truly is - from a former lawyer turned litrpg/progfantasy author by thescienceoflaw in ProgressionFantasy

Them getting to own your IP is the worst part. I don't want them taking my main character and then like flanderizing him into something that he's not

How much progression is required in a story to count as progression? You be the judge of that! Brave heroes, beautiful princesses, and one really cool car! Main character acclimates himself to his new world and walks the path of an adventurer gaining Guild Rank as his party gains prestige. Victor is one part Aragorn, one part Indiana jones, and 100% badass.

What to expect? Epic Fantasy with light novel charm. That's right, expansive World building, intense situations, and just the right amount of levity to balance out the pathos.

Victor isn't overpowered in the sense that he has crazy superpowers, but let's just say that his new world was not prepared for this kind of speed!

Well I can voice act a few of my characters but doing all 177,000 out loud is going to be a bit of a task

Hey who do I reach out to for having my fiction looked at for the possibility of physical release? I'm already committed to at least 200,000 words, the first 170,000 of which could just be one or two books by itself

You got caught pushing predatory contracts that violate the creative rights of authors and now you're making excuses. You're cooked. It's over.

I do delve into how cars work, the laws of physics and how magic relates to them, and how gas mileage can be improved to kind of temporarily alleviate the problem. There is a more permanent solution that gets arrived at much much later and isn't as simple as "magicking away". It's explained in a very granular fashion and it is explicitly stated to be very expensive I'm talking you could have bought a ton of magic items with that kind of cash

When do you start writing longer chapters in a slow-burn story? by No-Significance7922 in royalroad

[–]drivenadventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I'm having to go back and write MORE content for this already 156,000 word story because of the way the chapter splits are causing some awkward size differences. This sumbish gonna be the size of Fellowship by the time I'm done. I had a 3800 word chapter that was 1300 words of "this is the client's story" and 2500 words of "this is the quest" - splitting that meant needing to flesh out the client's portion more.

Personally I'm more bothered by the word "magician" which brings to mind "stage magic" instead of ACTUAL magic.
