Yeah, which was a big reason for why a lot of people in the community referred to each other as being on the spectrum. Especially since there were methods and ways to identify and rectify areas they were weak in so they could function in normal society. Yeah, a lot of people back then hated how...

Yeah, I figured they were both under the umbrella term of Neurodivergent. Wasn't aware both were still in use in the today, I knew Autism was, but I don't hear Asperger's as much as back then. I know in the early 2000's it caused a lot of contention since there was a big difference between the...

Eh, I think the tag existing is kind of strange. In the same way, I'd think a neurodivergent tag would be worse. I mean, back in the day they'd use Aspergers for higher functioning individuals, and Autism for lower functioning, if I'm remembering right, I might have gotten my wires crossed here...

Depends, I can just about keep up with the releases, which is about 3 chapters per week while maintaining a decent sized reserve. I write about, 3,000 words a chapter too, which works to about 10,000 words a week. Depending on the arc I'm on, and the chapters, I can write a good number of...

You do it by chapter then? I do it by batch. I'll write about 30 chapters worth of content, roughly a book's worth of material before I go back and do my first pass of editing. First pass is me checking things over, making sure I didn't make any major mistakes before pressing on. I'll then...

It might be because you have a smut story. I'm a lurker myself, so, I can't say much, but I'd imagine people wouldn't want to engage too much with that kind of material, publicly at least. I'm also not entirely sure how the analytics work on views and such, so, yeah, I don't have much more to...

Is this your first story? If so, the best you can do is just keep up consistent updates. Even when the story finishes, it'll keep generating views and readers as long as you post a new story, and as more people discover you. As you build a reputation, your base will increase. That's at least...

Oof, Paypal has a 180 day return window usually. You might be able to call and see if an associate can help you out, but since it was so long ago, and since paypal is a third-party company technically, the money is likely gone. You might get lucky with PayPal if they confirm the user has a...

Oh, that sucks. If you don't mind me asking, how did you pay? If it was through paypal, you might be able to get your money back if it wasn't too long ago. If over a card, you might be able to dispute the charges with your credit provider, assuming you don't dispute very often.

If you're asking for a judge, the styles vary too much between the three examples you gave. Though, just with how they approached you, it's likely to be a scam. If your still not sure, see if they can't name specific scenes from your story they wanted to do or what scene specifically inspired...

Might be jumping in a bit late here, but... I mean, I can kind of see what you're saying, but I think you're also making a bit of an assumption. Yes, it's very much monkey see, monkey do, in regard to just how many MTL stories there are. People read them and think that's how a story is supposed...

That's fine. As I said no pressure. I do look forward to working with you again in the future!

Yeah, call-outs like this can also help deal with scammers. Rather, it can help keep people honest. Not to mention, having people to vouch for your work can help quite a bit when it comes to setting the initial trust. I think pride might be a factor as well, since a lot of people wouldn't be...

I think... and it is a kind of lacking response, but it ultimately depends. If I had to choose from the list, it would definitely be #2. I'm more for pyrrhic victories. Winning the battle but losing the war is a good example. Creating a situation where the main character does their very best...

That's good to hear. Part of the reason it took me a bit was also because I wanted to figure how I wanted to make the post. I wanted to give you a public kudos, and also give you a bit of a boost, especially since you did such a good job. Maybe it helps you get commissions or not, but that was...
