My book isn’t published yet, but a basic synopsis would be that a creepy werewolf thing materializes in a six year old kid’s bedroom and proceeds to guard the door every night for the next six years before biting the kid in the arm and disappearing.

How did I do? Go vote

@DaBeanerSupreme Oh thank goodness. That means I’m not

And on an unrelated note, why does the internet keep calling me gay?

@Wulden83 @YeetTsavo I don’t know why it thinks I like men, but some parts of this feel painfully accurate😔

@Wulden83 @YeetTsavo How am I supposed to write ‘the survival guide for the lonely queer’ if my score there is 86%? That doesn’t sound lonely

@YeetTsavo @Wulden83 I don’t really know what ‘pulls a lot’ means, but my AI roast made me think it was a bad thing.

@Wulden83 Now this is a matter of debate, but… I think mine is worse

I think I may need to repent of how much I like Dungeon Crawler Carl. It’s so freaking messed up. The events of DCC are likely impossible under the laws of physics God has instituted. The evils in it aren’t real. At the same time, it all feels painfully realistic. If the crawl were possible to bring about, people WOULD try to make it happen, and I would finally be presented with a scenario that couldn’t possibly be worse. The worst things I can imagine would be possible, and those stupid aliens would MAKE them happen. None of the things that have hurt me are real. Those not real things are exactly the sort of things Carl and his cat are fighting against. It’s stupid, and I feel like a bad person when these books make me laugh, but they also make me cry sometimes. Carl is fighting my demons, and he’s looking like an absolute idiot while doing it, and I’ve never wanted another fictional character to win this badly. I worry though. I tend to be rather impressionable, and Carl doesn’t think like I do. It’s an impossible situation, and so it gets hard to tell if he’s doing the right thing. Or rather, there is no right thing to do, and I can’t really tell if someone can still be a good person if there is no right thing to do. This book series is insane and I don’t know what to make of it.

Me every time I watch The Other Side of Heaven and see the Disney logo at the beginning:

“Against a plain old monster with supernatural strength and sharp teeth, he was the best there was, and he was usually enough. Against an eldritch horror that could seep straight out of the floorboards beneath your feet… well, he was still the best there was, and that was terrifying.”

Would you read a book where the evil antagonist was also the wise mentor character writing the world saving prophecies and calling the chosen one to adventure?

@ItIsHoeMath Uh, my teen fantasy story just has a kid getting absolutely screwed over by a terrible curse. There’s no romance. Who’s my target audience?

@StarrtoonArt @Ckaiadn If they had to do a live action remake, they should have adapted the book plot line where Hiccup has to become king of the Vikings to prevent the mutually assured destruction of everyone in an all out war between a giant evil dragon and a guy missing most of his appendages.

Do you think you could hate somebody if you truly knew them? There are real monsters out there, and it’s hard not to hate what they do, but do I dare ask why they do it? Sometimes I fear I already know. Rot grows in the cracks in our souls, sprouting up and splitting us apart at our weakest points. Some never find a way to clean it out to let the damage heal. Others lose faith that it can ever be removed for good. It always sprouts up again, so it’s easy to lose faith in the notion that it’s worth it to keep cutting it out, even if you think you believe in God.

@YeetTsavo I’ve been trying. I probably need to find a tutorial or something

Whatever you think is most important, I guess. That seems like a good place to start. I assume you’re Christian based on the original post. What’s at the heart of Christianity and why do you believe it? Feel free to ignore me if you aren’t in the mood for a theological discussion, but I like learning about other faiths and I tend to believe the truth will shine through given sufficient understanding of all the alternatives.
