WOOT Yo... nominally Xamusel, unless when selling my writing to others

How do you do? My full name is Samuel Kenneth Kauffman, hence why I wrote my name the way I did for this forum community. I am a little past the halfway point between 26 and 27, so that should tell you a bit about me.

...what else am I supposed to say in situations like this? I wish there was something akin to a template for how to introduce yourself here.

 

Actually, I was looking for the difference between LitRPG and GameLit fiction on Google when I found this forum, and I decided to join because of my desire to be a published author with RPG mechanics in my fiction... it certainly helps that I got a couple fanfics written that have to do with The Gamer manwha (not sure if that's how you spell the word for Korean manga or not).

Anyway, I'll be sure to ask questions I might have ASAP, mister Bellow.

 

Welcome I kinda like the setting on The Gamer but it didn't impress me enough to become a fan. Now that I think about it I'm not even sure why.

 

Well, glad I'm not the only one here that knows of The Gamer, then. Still, at the very least, I'm hoping to write something akin to The Gamer as an original book series... well, without the copyright stuff of Han Jihan's story, anyway.

In any case, I'm still working on planning a few stories, like said book series I mentioned earlier. I'm just... unsure how to best start planning it, on top of getting character profiles written into the book itself, you know?

 

Try a simple outline for characters and story, then write. Only by writing you understand what makes sense and what doesn't. As far as I'm aware there aren't many LitRPG stories set in the real world, so you shouldn't wait too much before trying one. I myself have a plot like that, but I'm currently on another project so I don't know when to start. Believe me, just write if you can't form an exact plan, then work the details later!

 

First off, I had to correct a grammar error in your prior post to me... it's helpful (more or less) to have Grammarly, as I've noticed.

Nextly, I think I should develop the game mechanics and the world build together, based on what you mentioned up above.

As for the length of the story, I must express confusion regarding the difference between series and saga, I'm afraid... sorry about that.

Hmm... that might be for the best, yeah, even if I'd prefer to have some more ideas as to what I should or should not do for this sort of thing... oh well.

 

Yeah, I can understand what you mean. Although, I seem to recall hearing that there's a type of series with four books called a Cycle.

Anyway, regarding the length of the story, I'm thinking somewhere between the bare minimum of a series (as far as I understand it, a series starts with five books, not the cycle's four) and four-fold that number. I'm not entirely sure just yet.

 

I'm googling that too a few days ago and ended up creating an account. Seems SEO is working nicely.

 

Yeah, sounds like it, @SideKarakterGendut. I think the SEO is working as intended for this.

 

Honestly? I didn't know that R.A. Salvatore did that. (/)_-)

 

Actually, that's a facepalm, not sarcasm. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the link, by the way. I'll look at it ASAP, just to get an idea what it's about.

 

Ah yes LitRPG Reads is a nice front site, keep that up!
