《How to Create a Purrfect Prophecy》Outlining the prophecy
Advertisement
Now, you've been sitting here, bored out of your mind, probably. "When will they actually tell me how to write my stupid prophecy?" You might wonder. Well, friend, let me tell you, (Or let US?) we are starting RIGHT NOW.
Yep.
Right... now.
Alright fine.
Lettuce go (Wow, just like that?).
When you start creating a prophecy, you must decide: Who will be a part of my prophecy? Which of my characters will play an important part in the story? Determining this will make it far easier to create a good prophecy.
So, take Rainpaw, for example. (Not canon lol) Rainpaw, and her sister, Grasspaw, are important characters in this story we are creating, so I should include them in my prophecy. Sandfur is the main enemy in my story, so she should be included as well.
Ok, now we have decided who is in our story. But we still haven't finished planning just yet.
Next, we must decide the outline of the story itself. If you don't know the main point of your story, your prophecy will become much harder to write. You will have to follow the prophecy, rather than having the prophecy follow your story. By this I mean is if you make your prophecy "And pine will rule the forest," then you must make pine rule the forest. However, if you plan to make pine rule the forest, the prophecy is following your story, giving you far more freedom. and making it easier to write. Another example is if you plan or outline your story, you already understand what the prophecy should be about, making it easier to write.
So, off with you, people, and go plan your story!

Returning to No Applause, Only More of the Same
Kreig was summoned to the other world 130 years ago, the last 30 of which were spent in a constant, vengeful war against any army that would attempt to subjugate him. Once he returned, he found out that only 10 years had passed. He was given the title of War of the North but he never even knew about it. After all, nobody could get close enough to tell it to him. But that all changes one day when a portal opens, allowing Kreig and a small band of soldiers to enter one of many portals that leads to Earth. As it turns out these portals have been opening ever since he was summoned, giving the people of Earth abilities that the world he was summoned to only used to have. But now... now, he has returned. Longing for his former life of peace and understanding, he allows authorities to capture him on the spot, only to be faced with deeply personal questions, such as "who are you?" "what have you been doing for the past 10 years?" and "why is your level so high?" -------- ...Have you ever read a story where the main guy who got isekai'd returns to Earth. Say, for example, FFF-class trashhero or the necromancer of Seoul station? Say, what if the authorities actually became aware what kind of monster had returned to Earth? What if they actually tried to use them for something? Kreig's been in the other world for 130 years, has experienced three great wars, and he isn't okay. Mentally speaking, that is. He's been imprisoned, gained and lost comrades, been betrayed... The whole lot. By now, all he wants is to put it all behind him, something the world doesn't seem to want to let him. (Irregular updates, mostly written for fun, no strong planning)

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
