I'm not certain that this question is strictly on topic but I'll take a bat at it anyway. The demon king is either a threat or not, if he's a threat then he's worth fighting, if not then another co...
I don't recall hearing at all about Transgenders in the 90's, and I'm very much a live-and-let-live liberal on all sexual orientation issues. I imagine the vast majority of people would just clas...
Try writing simply, and ignoring time. You are using too many intensifiers, and hyperbolic ones: quick glance pure disappointment instantly look anger exploded At least have he froze as little ...
In order for your last ending to feel worthwhile, it needs to complete some important part of the protagonist's story arc left unfinished at the big battle. The Wizard of Oz has an anticlimatic se...
I can recall a video game that did this in a very satisfying way; Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. In the final boss, you have Reflux the Knaaren, essentially the Big Bad, Andre's muscle. He's souped-up on...
At the moment, your suggested dialogue is very dry. Every piece of dialogue should ideally serve one of two purposes: 1: Move the plot forward. 2: Expose something about a character/their relatio...
It is possible to use 'it' too much, though you don't seem to have trouble with this in this instance. Instead, I would recommend varying your sentence structure. If you are worried about using a p...
The purpose of the Kansas section is to establish the Real World before embarking on the Quest (to use the terms from the Hero's Journey). The Real World is the place which the Hero (gender/age/nu...
Bold and/or italicize the important points Don't worry about organizing your answer in a logical format where the first sentence/paragraph has the main point, the supporting details are in the mid...
Do the characters or even the narrator have to understand that there is an underlying theme of the story? I think obviously not; neither the characters or narrator need to know the theme. Ma...
"Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer" does not apply on Stack Exchange. On multiple occasions, I've seen people post "answers" that are either sarcasm/jokes, personal attacks, or just plain...
Some of the advice given in answers here is very sketchy. People keep saying that they try to make their answers as brief and as short as possible. However, the Stack Exchange guidelines in the hel...
In addition to all great answers. Put yourself into the OP's place and instead of just writing series of statements, write sub-questions you think comes to the mind of the average reader of that qu...
Get to the point first. On most SE websites, the main flow of traffic is people coming from Google/DDG for quick answers. If there is code which solves the problem, make sure it's correctly formatt...
Be brief, clear and correct. (Note how my top answer to this question overtook the more complete accepted answer).
Based on your mention of Discovery Writing, maybe you are or you aren't; perhaps you haven't "discovered" it yet. It might be that what you're describing is some form of resurrection or "zombific...
In addition to the many good suggestions here: Pay particular attention to the level of sophistication the OP shows in the question. Remember that you're writing primarily for the OP (also for the...
Answer the question in a way that will provide the reader (askee or searcher) with enough information to have actionable next steps. Do it in the smallest number of valuable words that you can. If ...
I try to always answer in 3 paragraphs whenever possible. Less is often too little for a substantive answer, and more becomes less and less likely for people to read. The first paragraph should a...
My rule of thumb is "the right information at the right time", especially in content that's supposed to be consumed on a topic rather than a chapter/book basis. Sure, this leads to some repetition ...
Yes, it is fine for the characters to be unaware of theme. Jack London's Call of the Wild had clear themes. The animals were likely not aware of them. Orwell's Animal Farm. It took me, the autho...
As your question is fairly general, this answer is too. I'd insert the ETL process itself into the target database. As you have on-site developers this will have to be included in your extraction ...
I agree with Chaotic's comment: You could call it wherever you like, as this is your story: Immortals, Revenants, Awakens... It's your choice, but I would avoid zombie, because of the current c...
Definitely not a traditional zombie. There are alternative depictions of zombies which you might want to draw on, but all of them have more zombie-like characteristics than you describe. Still, t...
This is an interesting question, and while I don't believe there is a "prototypical" plot, let me try to find the answer by defining a contrast between typical male and typical female protagonist. ...
