I'm often inspired by random things and recently came up with a world about reality ending in a hilarious but horrifying fashion. I know horror comedy is a genre but was wondering how hard it is to write that type of story before I invest my time further into this idea. I'm imagining it to be a little difficult due to balancing funniness and creepiness factors.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Long story short I wrote some fanfiction years ago. It was my first time writing fiction and despite the fact it makes me deeply cringe nowadays I won't deny I had fun writing the stories. I didn't care about the quality or the views/comments I got, I just wrote what came to my mind.

I returned to writing, mainly worldbuilding, a little less than 2 years ago. That slowly grew to some short stories that I hope to post someday. However, I'm now hyper critical about anything I write and despite hovering over the 'Submit' button a few times the flashes of the cringe inducing fanfics keep me from going any further.

Anyone have advice on how to break these critical and blocking thoughts? Any and

I have a developing world I'm calling 'History Conglomerate'. It's a sort of alternate Earth where popular ages of history are thrown together with each having a strange element added to them. I have covered most of the world, but I'm stuck coming up with strange elements for 3 more areas. Here is what I have so far.

  • North America has Native Indians, but they have access to several kinds of mech suits that they pair with usual weapons like bows and spears.

  • South America also has Natives, they have a cowboy/Western theme that mixes with their natural environment, e.g. trains and horses effortlessly going through jungle.

  • The Caribbean has Ninja Pirates, based on the [Pirates vs Ninjas

I have a new fantasy western world and made a sort of antihero character for it, the Dead Man. He got this title because he survived an attack from 3 assassins. However, I'm wondering if I am pushing believability with the injuries he sustained.

He was first hit in the head by an averaged sized rock controlled by a druid, this injury left a small scar as well as a tiny dent in his skull. He was then shot in the chest with magical lightning from a sorcerer that left a scar in this pattern and possibly affected his heart. The last injury was a single long cut from a knife from the right side of his neck down to th

I have a relatively new dieselpunk world where oil is used for nearly everything. Powering machines as usual, but also for generating electricity and even to make bullets in place of gunpowder(which doesn't exist).

However, I've hit a snag lore wise. How do I explain the high usage of oil without it running out? Oil has been used for many things for hundreds of years and it is used very heavily in the present of this world.

Any ideas that could help me solve this issue? Any and all help is appreciated.
