Can you listen to music with lyrics, or can you only listen to instrumental music while writing?I can listen to music with lyrics under two circumstances: 1, if they're in another language or 2, if I've listened to the song enough and it becomes background noise.
Out of the three stories above, which story seems the most interesting? What seems the least interesting and why?... To be honest? All three sound very interesting and none of them really sound... Uninteresting if that makes any sense.
A Demon's Past....... I like demons okay? I for some reason keep being drawn to these kinds of books/pieces of media. I'm following a comic that has Lucifer following around a teen because of some mistake someone made at a
certain factory.
I watched an anime about the lord of the underworld working at a knockoff mcdonalds So teenager dreaming about the past of a demon? Sign me the heck up! I'm by no means comparing A Demon's Past to -blehh- and Me and the Devil is a Part-Timer. I... I just like the concept in general and am curious as to where this book will lead.
The Gallery gives me kind of Ib undertones in regards to the plot revolving around pictures and having a young girl as the protagonist. I hope its not horror. Dear lord I do not want to go through that again. Spooks for days. I will say though I am interested in finding out who the Artist is and how exactly everything went down the toilet for the paintings to be thrown from their canvases like that. I also wonder what kind of character Nanna is.
I'll definitely follow this book to see how everything plays out.
The Ruins of Ambrosia City: I usually don't read these kinds of stories. Why? I dunno myself. But, reading the description of this story... and yeah, you probably figured out what i was gonna say "I wonder how everything plays out" I've said this for all three right? I want to see her spiral into madness. I want to see how these dragons and a bipolar wolf save the friggen day. How was she beside them? What the frig is going on? And just why? Why?
TL;DR:
A Demon's Past: I like Demons and am drawn to these kinds of stories for some reason. I'm interested about his past and wonder where its going to take her.
The Gallery: I flat out like the concept entirely and find it very interesting. It gives me spooky Ib vibes and I hope it isn't horror.
Ruins of Ambrosia City: I don't usually read these kinds of stories but after reading the description of the story it really interests me and makes me question a lot of things that are going to happen.
Yes I said i'm interested in all three. It may sound like I'm bluffing or whatever. But I truely want to see where these books go. I can keep going and sound like a broken record. Buut I'm not. Because that would be boring and that would require more reading on your part... and it would be annoying for everyone involved. So lets not do that yeah?
*I'm not taking chances with the actual comics name.

I'm having this problem, too! Help our poor afflicted souls, @everyone-else XD
..... I didn't see this question earlier. But to be honest... I don't. I'm winging it on 2/3rds of my stories.
Tempting Fate only has a story because it's based off of a game. So its a really shotty story.
Restructure only has a story because it came from a dream.... Quite literally.
The only things I can suggest are going onto sites like Tumblr and Pinterest and looking up prompts. There are some really good ones that you can turn into story ideas if not oneshots.
Another thing I liked doing while in my Hetalia phase was Song-shots. In which I listened to a song on repeat and created a story based off of it using the song lines as inbetweeners as a sort of context. You could alternatively do without the context inbetweener. But I dunno. Story based on a song.
Also Ranger don't die! Be strong!
