Kay, *watches over Capt's shoulder as he writes*

"'Bird' is spelled with a 'B', Capt." Jacme informed Capt, while watching him intently.
"Stop hanging over me, Jacme!" Capt yelled in frustration.

Plot
I don't want this character in my story anymore, how do I get rid of him without making it too jarred?
My plot seems to be going nowhere, what should I do about this?

Characters
How do I create a powerful character without making him *too* powerful?
Is it okay to have more than a couple main characters?


Description
To what extent should I describe something small, like a column on a big building?
To even out the levels of description, I need to describe everything possible?

Flow
I just realized that I made a critical error in the beginning of my story that won't let me do what I want to do now, help!
When I'm stumped for ideas, how can I go about getting some more without seeming corny?

Mechanics
How *exactly* do I do dialogue? I've tried a few variations, but people have told me they're all wrong!
When I'm having one character speak right after another, should I separate this into two different lines?

Prose Comedy
How do I make the comedy not jarring, yet not subtle?
Is it OK to have comedy in a horror, mystery, or Action story?

Scripted Comedy
Is it OK to use improper grammar when someone is NOT speaking?
How do I separate my comedic scripts from those of a Noob Story?

Originality
What does it take to make a somewhat clichéd story original?
Someone called my story cliché, what does that mean?

Poetry
How do I implement extreme emotions in such a short piece?
How do I get across a touchy subject without offending someone?

Guilds
What is a guild?
What's the difference between a guild and a library?
Why do guilds not want me to bump them so much?
I got denied for not reading the front page! How do they know if I did or didn't?!

Contests
I've heard a lot of famous Story Forumers enter these, so I'm afraid I'll be wasting my time if they'll just win outright!
No one is giving me comments on my entry, why is this?
