    What do you use to write with?

    Thanks, I do remember reading that it is possible to get merged tables, but that feels kinda janky... Markdown is good, don't get me wrong, I use it all the time in university and for documentation, but I have tried markdown-based novel writing software (manuskript and obsidian and I think...

    What do you use to write with?

    Scrivener because... I don't know why really. But I refuse to use microslop, and having to manually manage files gets annoying, so no onlyOffice, etc. I can't use markdown for my current strory because I have tables with merged columns, which markdown cannot do (as far as I know), so no...

    How detailed are your environments?

    Well, I try to describe interiors, simply because I like to. Though at this point I should probably make toug schematics to keep track of everything that was once written. As for large structures, I *try* not to focuse on them, as I believe that the general surroundings around the character are...

    Opinion on ai?

    And it's not just the Chef's kiss, it's also the use of a certain sentance structure that is impossible not to notice after enough time. As for scribblehub, I do not read *that* many stories, but I remember some weird VR MMORPG? I think ? About two years ago? It was written with ai and it...

    As an author, do you promote your culture through fiction?

    Yep, this is why, when you don't have the opportunity to spend extended periods of timee in another country, you have to consume "media" from different sources. Not just films or tv series, but books written in that country, preferably in the original language, watch documentaries, read...

    As an author, do you promote your culture through fiction?

    I think that wether you like it or not, the way you were brought up / the media you consumed will strongly Influence what you write. Because, in an extreme case, a person brought up in a European society with little knowledge of Asia will not be able to write fiction or nonfiction with realistic...

    Writing How do you make your character's voice come alive in dialogue?

    The voices in my head... they speek to me and I am but a proxy, conveying their feelings, their emotions, their struggles. For real though, in every dialog I try as best as I can immerse in their perspective and think: what would "I" say, why would "I" say this, while at the same time trying...

    What motivated you to stop being a reader and write your own fiction?

    A story with so many absolutely braindead characters, one dimensional world-building and plot holes so big I could fly a plane through them that I took that as a personal affront

    Recommendations A story with a genuinely evil protagonist.

    The first story that comes to mind with a genially awful protagonist, though it is debatable if they are "evil". You should read the review and get the general theme of this story. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/1537678/equilibrium-bringing-gods-light-to-this-pagan-world/
