I'm not sure if this is something I can post in this subreddit. If it's not, someone kindly let me know and I apologize in advance if this post is misplaced.

I am hosting a romantasy themed party for my birthday this weekend and I've been trying to figure out some fun games we could play. It's a small gathering of less than 10 people but I wanted to do something on theme (other than the decorations).

Any ideas on some fun activities/games that would go with the romantasy theme that I can have?

I've been looking for a simple-short name for this bodypart that makes clear that you are refering to the mythical creature and not the animal itself.

Obviously, if the mythical creature is a male, it’s a little hard to discern which part is the animal part. The head? Animal. The hands? Animal. Whatever sounds they make? Animal. Is there a simple-short word to describe them that makes it obvious what I am referring to?

But if it’s female? How could I discern between the mermaid half and the animal half? Also, what if it’s half mermaid / half naga? Would it just have a snake head and a mermaid fin? Would it half a human head and human legs? What is a four-letter word I could use for a female mythical animal creature?

Please help, I can’t think of anything.

Do we consider having book boyfriends a form of micro cheating if we have a SO irl? Happy Mother’s Day to all you cheating sons of bitches.

Long time lurker jerker, first often time poster, yadda yadda.

I’ve seen a selection of mermen/merfolk tales on here over the years, but never read any.

What are we talking about, from a purely cock based pov? I’ve heard tell of multi cock action?!

Where are they hidden? How do they appear? Both visually and the “ta da” moment? How’s that all working’?! Underwater? The rubbing?

Explain!!! Please and Thank You…..

(Related but weird additional info, my doorbell chime plays “under the sea”… why have I never read any mermen!!)

not a writer myself but i think about this every time i start a new book or watch a movie. like how do u guys actually pick names for characters or places without it feeling forced?
it feels like in some books the names just fit the vibe perfectly but then in others it feels like the author just mashed their keyboard or picked a random name from a history book. i guess it's hard tho because if i had to name a hundred different characters they’d all end up sounding exactly the same or just really dumb.
pls tell me there is a logic for this or is it just random? do you spend days thinking about how a name sounds or do u just use a generator and move on. genuinely curious if there’s a "craft" to it or if u just go with your gut. especially for fantasy where u cant just name everyone john. how do you know when a name actually works and doesnt sound like a joke?
i’d love to hear how u actually settle on a name and if u ever changed a name halfway thru a book because it started feeling wrong

Picked Up Ice Plant Barbarians. 1st experience with the genre. Good stuff. I was impressed. Getting the 2nd one.

Does romanantasy exist for hedro men?

Suggestions appreciated.

Venus is my Protagonist, shes victim of an arranged marriage with an asshole young emperor.

She’s not the greatest fighter but she fights well, she has a kind heart and all she wants is to save her people and have the rights to be free. (These are the tropes and the things necessary for the plot)

Now, I can’t come up with any major flaws in her. She has little flaws like emotionally unstable and a little bit manipulative. And sure she commits murder and a little bit of genocide. (Those are needed for the plot) But other than that, the plot doesn’t ask for much more flaws, anything else or any big flaw might feel forced. It would not make any difference to the plot. And I feel like I’m making the strong female protagonist mistake. Should I make her kick a dog or something? (I think it’s needed for the plot)

Anyone else had the same issue? (For the plot)

Should I not have named her after the goddess of love? Is that an impossible standard of perfection to uphold? (For the plot)
