If you are doing your first RPG project and do not want to be overtly original, I'd recommend you familiarize yourself with the Hero's Journey story archetype and revise your story accordingly. Since the classic heroic stories are not classic without a reason, trust me. That would mainly concern the...

I praise Fernando Hernandez's enthusiasm and readiness to share knowledge, but I have to agree with other respondents, especially in that I don't want to sound mean. ^^ I took your picture (I hope you don't mind), Fernando, and tinkered with it a bit. When I want to produce something that looks like...

I don't usually like the "constantly-happy" type, but sometimes they can be comforting. And I generally dislike tsundere types in real life (though I haven't met many - although one person comes to mind now). As I said, I mostly prefer stoic girls in fiction, however, in moody, angsty sto...

Homosexuality is against the law in most places because of two factors IMO: - Biological: Homosexual relationships don't result in children, unless some special (and expensive) technology is used. Ergo: less children for the state to turn into working citizens. Adopted children are not counted since...

Yay! Someone agrees with me and sounds smart! I hadn't thought of the "function in society vs. emotional attachment" side of it, that's a really good point. Heh, thanks. ^^; Looking back now at what I wrote back then, I should, perhaps, add that the whole functionality reasoning is a resu...

I've never actually wrote anything longer than a short story so my recommendations may not be of much use but... When I write a short story, it usually starts with an idea for the plot. I don't write it down immediately, I let myself forget it. If I come up with it at a later point and consider it g...

My favorite female personality type in fiction are the stoic girls: cool, silent, efficient. Not emotionless: I like them emotional on the inside but viciously independent on the outside. A girl that you can rely upon and who is not above relying on you in need. A girl that you can trust with your l...

I don't think that het is necessarily ew but I do agree that homosexual relationships invoke more drama thanks to forbidden fruit element. In fact, I'd go further and admit that I feel bored to death with heterosexual romance dramas because their male characters usually disgust me and offend my male...

I also found this TV Tropes link good: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/M ... Honorifics

I write because it is my firm believe that a sentient being must create things. I don't believe in God (at least, not in any traditional way) but I do believe that each human being has a spark of the Creator in them. Ergo, if a person doesn't create (even the smallest things!), he or she is not a hu...

First of all, the reason to finish a VN is the wish to find out how it ends. :mrgreen: On my memory, Higurashi did the best job at that. I remember feeling (about halfway through the story) as if there were a dozen of huge rusty screws driven through my skull and God, please, please, take them out, ...

I've recently read a couple of good articles on the classical story structures on TV Tropes... http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitleh1ltpj3ph282 http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheSevenBasicPlots Maybe these will prove useful, too. I enjoyed them, anyway. ^^ Also, take a look ...

So why do you play games? To pass time, mostly. Sometimes, I'm interested in the story, how it turns out. In this case, I check the reviews: if it has a mildly entertaining or better gameplay, I download it, otherwise, I read the summary on a wiki. I think the point of a game (as opposed to, say, a...

I can join the collaboration but primarily as a programmer and tester. I can also do some writing and project management, but my schedule is pretty tight-packed right now, so I can't promise that much commitment.

I have written female protagonists before and haven't noticed much difference to male ones. :3 But then again, I was mainly writing mystery and horror, not romance, so that might not be something you are looking for. ^^ I also found it an interesting experience to role-play female characters in tabl...
