![]() Author has written 8 stories for High School DxD/ハイスクールD×D. "As a prospective writer, I would urge you to not only read good books. Read terrible books as well, because they can be more inspiring than the good books. If you are inspired by a good book, there’s always the danger of plagiarism, of doing something that is too much like that good book. Whereas, a genuinely helpful reaction to a piece of work that you’re reading is, ‘Jesus Christ, I could write this shit!’ That is immensely liberating — to find somebody who is published who is doing much much worse than you. And by analyzing why they are doing so badly, this will immensely help your own style. You’ll find out all of the mistakes not to make. ‘Why did this story offend me so much?’ Analyze that. Find out why you didn’t like it. Find out all of the examples of clumsiness or bad thinking that spoiled the story for you. That will probably be a lot more helpful to your career as a writer." - Alan Moore. Thank you, Miura-sensei. I wouldn't be here without you. Rest in peace. Rest In Peace, Toriyama-sensei. "I hope that paradise is just as pleasant as you envisioned it, sensei." If you ever need writing advice, hit me up, I don't mind. Or just general discussions about stories too. I ALWAYS read all of my reviews as well, no matter what. Remember, don't ever let anyone discourage you from writing whatever it is you want to write. Good or bad, fun or dreary, "low quality" "low effort" "garbage," "wish fulfillment," whatever it is, whatever anyone may call it. Don't let anyone stop you, not my dumbass, not your friends, not your family, not even yourself. Write, and don't ever stop writing. Writing is a skill, not a talent. Hone it. If you have the passion, you have all you need. "You on your way. Just...keep going, Miles. Just keep going.." - Aaron Davis. Challenges are closed. Terms for when they reopen (if they ever do): Highschool DxD only. No crossovers. No over the top, OC/Self insert garbage. It's just not my thing. (I don't plan on doing any stories besides DxD any time in the future, I will make it known if I ever do, but the answer "for now" is no) Current stories: 1. Red Dragon Of Golden Light (My "first-born child.") 2. Red Dragon Of Stupidity (The "stupid, goofy" one.) 3. The Lone Dragon Emperor (The really fucked up, sad one.) 4. A Fool's Heart (Possibly the "best" one) 5. The Duality of Man (The most "original" concept, lol) 6. The Curious Misadventures of Marie Bellerose (Spinoff: The FEELS) Update scheduleis basically whichever I'm feeling inspired from write at the moment. Life gets busy, ya know. |
