Hey I don't know if you'll ever see this but I really enjoyed your work, I'm on Tv was great but the pokemon one really made my day whenever there was a chapter. I hope you're still alive and doing well, even if writing isn't your priority right now

They have "Time Stop" in Pathfinder just be this lame ass "you move super fast, as if you took another turn (used 12 seconds as if they were 6 seconds), but time never actually stopped"
then they have "Time Stop" in DND be this "you have jumped outside of the realm of time, such that you affect nothing, but have gained more time as if time stopped"

It's fine in literature but this is games with multiple party members. You'd just be like: "Then the wizard used time stop and killed the enemy." or "The wizard used time stop and the party shanked the enemy."

It's fine if you nerf it somehow like it only works on lower tier enemies or there are limits as to what you can do in time stop or any other nerf but unlimited true time stop just can't be balanced in dnd.

To stop something is to cause it to not progress with respect to something else. The time X experiences cannot be stopped with respect to the time X experiences, as if 0 seconds pass in 1 second that implies 1=0. To stop the time X experiences with respect to the time Y experiences is equivalent to speeding up the time Y experiences with respect to the time X experiences.

The choice of describing it as speeding up you rather than slowing down the entire world is basically to avoid giving odd connotations of a 9th-level (in 3.5/PF) being more wide-ranging in effect than many epic spells (affecting the entire world is on par with shit like Karsus' Avatar). Also avoids weird shit like someone "immune" to Time Stop seeing everything stop any time anyone in the world uses Time Stop.

Pro Tip from an author who just experienced this:

When a reader tells an Author that asked for their opinion on a chapter, that it doesn't feel like their work, and that it's too verbose, because they're writing the POV of a very formal and verbose character, even going so far as to say "They don't wanna read all that"... it tends to make the author not want to write that fic anymore.

Especially if you were someone they trusted to give an honest and critical review, and you basically implied they didn't even write the work they spent days working on, due to extreme pain and migraines all the way through, while coordinating and working on other projects with other authors, that have a higher priority.

Hello, my good author, may i inquire if you're going to continue your x-men story?
This is not, by the way, a demand, im actually curious xP
Hope you're well!
Hello, do you ever plan to continue your fate story? I was really looking forward to it.

Eh, it depend, I might continue or rewrite it later - just not now, when I'm kinda burnt out from other issues

Heyo! Think you would post any shadow and song chapters again? That fic was pretty great. It's a shame to abandon it...

I'm about halfway done with the next chapter of Shadow and Song, FYI.

I did. I did indeed. At least until someone got in my face about something I'm writing "Not sounding like my work" despite how hard I worked on it, enduring a massive migraine to do so.

Yep, I like the fluffy teacher story.

Nice. I'm having fun with that one too.

I will tell the others that you like their work, if it's the one I think you're referring to, lol. World's Fluffiest Teacher could certainly use more people helping out with getting it done tbh, but I'm sure it will be fine, if a bit slow, unless I end up getting a bunch more money again like last month.
hello I've been locked out of my normal account corpolrex since I've forgotten the password and the emails @live so the rest link never arrives anything you could do?

I've sent a password reset. Is that what you wanted?

my issue is that @live is outlook so the password reset emails don't appear is there a way around that ?

Hey Koss, have you ever considered doing a Challenger-style fic. Have you heard of it before?
koss
koss
Yeah, I like the style of those fics too.

I've thought about it, and to a certain extent those fics gave me the idea to use this CYOA power for the latest fic.

Maybe I'll do one in the future, after getting the hang of a similar concept.
I read your fic Big Iron on His Hip (DC SI) and thought the skill‑point system was the best I've seen.
Systems often overpower a story, but here it supported the story instead of becoming the focus. Karma points were interesting, though I feel they'd work better as rarer, high‑impact resources.
With hindsight, what are your thoughts on Big Iron now?

The only thing I'd really change would be my writing style, as it's changed in a way that currently satisfies me.
