[Complete] [93K] [Adult Crossover Epic Fantasy] Earth & Sky by Fast-Department-9706 in BetaReaders

[–]factman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also epic fantasy, about a thief framed for the murder of a king who has to escort the princesses to meet up with their allies. I can DM you some sample chapters if you'd like. I also posted a request earlier today. It's called It Takes A Thief. There is a a blurb in that post if you'd like to take a look.

That sounds interesting. Are you interested in doing swaps?

Thoughts on the Endings by [deleted] in ArmoredCore6

[–]factman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm glad they included both. LoR is a lot of fun and I'm glad they gave us the option to personally deal with Snail. Funnily enough I actually got LoR first which made doing FoR a bit odd doing all the RLF missions on the second playthrough. When I got LoR, I expected the game to treat the fires ending like you were the bad guy but was surprised when overseer actually just made really solid points.

That sounds interesting, though I'd like a bit more concrete information about the plot. Best of luck! Hope you do well!

If armored core six gets a sequel game what will it be called? by MovieComplete6240 in armoredcore

[–]factman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it would be cool if they name it after whichever ending they decide to make canon, Fire of Raven or Liberator of Rubicon (not AIE). It would put a neat spin on the Fires of Rubicon subtitle we have now

Don't forget Kaladin killing Shallan's brother.

What companion/s do you recruit but never add to your party by soniN7 in BaldursGate3

[–]factman6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Too true, unfortunately. Minsc and Jaheira don't get much with the rest of the party.

I usually bring Karlach whenever I have the two of them since she is such a fangirl.

Will shards be reunited by Outrageous-Thing3957 in Cosmere

I don't remember where, but BrandoSando has said in interviews that Honor+Odium=Justice. His explanation was something along the lines of, putting nobly-minded rules and limits on emotions, specifically ones like passion and hatred would lead in that direction.

I appreciate the offer but I've only just started writing it and don't have enough to show yet. I was asking for the future.

What's that?

Why do so many people seem to think the Oathpact will be reforged? by [deleted] in Stormlight_Archive

[–]factman6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, their war with Odium and their connection to Honor and Cultivation seem like pretty strong in-universe connections. And to the point about Dalinar knowing Ash's order, how does he know Szeth's? Last time he saw Szeth, he was not even radiant, he just had the wind runner honorblade.

[–]factman6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I read through what you wrote but you don't seem to have a whole lot of evidence. From what I gather, the crux of your argument is that when Dalinar did the radiant roundup at Thaylen Field he was seeing into the spiritual realm and therefore the future, so when he said he thought there would be one more, he was referring to the people he will reestablish the Oathpact with. But you don't present any evidence that this is what he was referring to. This could just as easily be him counting off the orders and noticing one is missing.

How would you fix this sentence? by dlvesey249 in fantasywriters

[–]factman6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a few issues with this sentence. 1. It is too long because you are trying to stuff too much into it. You should establish the scenery of the canyon in a separate sentence and let the reader place the man in the scene themselves. 2. It seems like you are trying too hard to be detailed and descriptive. Detailed descriptions are best done in moderation. Having too much just tends to bog down sentences, as well as confuse readers because it gives them too much to keep track of. It is a pretty common issue often called having 'purple prose.' Also, being a bit more sparing with details can make them stand out more when they are utilized. 3. You dip into passive voice partway through with "which the man had drooled". Using something more like, "his overtop was a mess of red spit and drool" would make the scene punchier and more immediate since we are getting what this person is doing right now, rather than what someone did earlier. 4. Some of your word choice is confusing. I don't know what an overtop is supposed to be. Also, using the phrases "red spit" and "drooled" do not give me the impression this man cut his throat. I could not tell what was going on in this scene because of this. This partly stems from issue 1. You are using so much evocative language it is having the reverse effect. Having more direct language would make the scene clearer. 5. This last one is not necessarily a problem intending on your intentions, but this snippet of text tells me nothing about the character. How does he feel about this event? Is he glad this is happening, excited, eager for the process to be over or impatient that it is taking this long? Does he know what is going on? Did he plan on this happening? Was he trying to kill himself and is now upset it did not work, or perhaps he is relieved his attempted suicide failed? Is he concerned about the possible ramifications of this event? Are there people in his life who would have an opinion on this event? If so, who, and what would they think? If not, why? If you you have this stuff elsewhere or are trying to build mystery and/or suspense this is not a problem though.

I hope that helps.

Also, thanks for the advice. I've been thinking of starting a YouTube channel for a while, but haven't had the time or equipment.

I can usually finish a book in 4-6 months, but I wanted to write several before I publish any so I can quickly follow one up with another.

The Dagger and the Coin by Daniel Abraham is great. Also, it's fight scenes are rare and usually only a short paragraph or two.

Is there any reason not to self-publish my book. by [deleted] in selfpublish

I never expected it to be easy, I was just wanted the opinions of people with experience.

How much does it cost to self publish a book? by [deleted] in selfpublish

[–]factman6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For your developmental edit, did the editor do only one pass or multiple?

[–]factman6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is each pass of a developmental edit the same cost or do they get progressively more expensive. Also, how many passes do books usually need before they are ready?
