Yeah I figured he was one of the arabian knights stories but I knew little more than that thanks for the info.

As far as I'm aware (and my knowledge of him is very light so I may miss some facts) he's a legendary thief/pirate born from a desert kingdom. He travels the seas and one of the items he stole is a magical ring that allows him to control the tides/waves. Beyond seeing a (I think) Disney movie...

I detect a bit of sarcasm in that compliment, but I'll take it as an actual compliment lol Question: Should I make a 'master' document of the first act when I have it done? I know that's a 'you do you' type of question, curious what you do though. I already save individual chapters as one document.

So, after I finish this chapter that I'm working on, and the following chapter, I will officially be done with "act 1" of my Sinbad story. Act 1 is mostly introducing the world/characters/getting the band together. So it's frankly a little short? (I feel like that'll be my style ? ) Act 2 will...

One of the youtubers I watch is in a similar boat. He has this race of characters called Waterhands (I don't know if he ever explained their name) and he's written full movies about them, he's never showed anything about them other than occasionally talking about them in videos and them being...

I mean yeah, I like it too, flipping the script is probably better than just going 'hey look everyone, there's 'bob' let's all point and laugh at the guy with the weird name' and those that know the original joke (the Aerith and Bob situation that MS mentioned) will probably be amused. I'm not...

Jokes that tend to get a laugh out of me are (good) witty one liners and (good) dad jokes. Occasionally a good anti joke will get a annoyed groan + laugh out of me. Outside of that: Self aware Jabs: Nothing tickles my funny bone more than video games/other media being self aware. And I don't...

I do not, but I would love to learn it myself. But I think even with all the advanced tools the digital medium has? I'd probably still fixate on the same things I did when I tried to learn physical drawing. The big one being making every line look 'exactly' as I see it in my brain. It drove me...

I may have laughed too hard at this....

I think either Way Forward or Yacht Club could do a fine job. Heck make it a joint effort since OG battle toads had different perspectives.

Hear me out: battle toads, but proper this time and not a beat em up game lol

This is an interesting tidbit. I will keep this in mind. I think some folks might be thrown when I describe microwaves, vending machines, and Refrigerators in my fantasy world. But the idea there is that theirs are more fantasy based in how they work, and work as a fantasy equivalent for the...

That was going to be the idea I think, thinking on it some. The Game Undertale makes a similar joke. There's a village of creatures called Temmies. (don't ask me why they're called that, only toby fox knows) And they're all named some form of spelling 'Tim' then there's one that's just 'Bob'...

Hmm, perhaps 'real' is the wrong word/phrase then. How about we go with 'normal ass earthling on a regular old/unmodified earth.' names. (although I think that's the 'trip up' you mentioned, if I'm reading it right) Granted we pick some pretty odd names ourselves. But I don't know anyone running...

In my defense I only know a few famous authors by name.... Some of them I get the actual books mixed up (which is why I asked to be sure to begin with because my brain makes mistakes) unless they're the really obvious ones. (Like Tolkien and LOTR) If it helps, I'm equally bad with film...
