    Recommendations Guilty Pleasures and stuff

    Hmm, for hurt your soul: Tokyo Ghoul (manga)- there are just some scenes that tear you up inside. Plus, incredibly long and it is A+ A Dog's Life: The autobiography of a Stray (novel)- If you love animals, this one can be quite crushing at times. Pings (Fanfiction)- T rated, it's gay but the...

    A question about tags

    Thank you all for the responses! I just wanted to make sure since I saw somewhere else someone got flak when one of their MCs went the gay route (I hadn't read the story, so I'm not sure how important it was for the plot, just apparently people got butthurt over getting a good portion through...

    A question about tags

    Okay so, if you have a story and it has a canon gay couple, do you tag it as BL or GL? Even if the story doesn't actually focus on the relationship? More information on the question: I've figured it will take 600 'pages' before I start the second portion of my story. In the first portion, there...

    Any insecurities you authors have about your novels?

    Oh, all of the insecurities. My biggest worries are: Does it come across as trying to hard? Is it too 'edgey' (since the story I'm writing was an idea I came up with when I was... 13-ish?)? Did I rush this scene? Did I make this scene take too long? What about this transition? Are the...

    Death of a Character

    When I create a character, I usually instantly kill them off and then work backwards. Sometimes I decide to change their death up, but usually it just sticks. Am I attached to them? Yeah, there is so much more to them than just their death. Everybody eventually dies, so I'm just giving them the...

    How to write memory loss?

    It depends on how you are doing the memory loss, I am assuming even though you say it is a complete wipe it isn't really going to be a complete wipe. It'll be more like amnesia where people just don't remember events/names/people? Versus, if it is a complete wipe, well. There's the whole...

    What's Your Most Ambitious Story Concept?

    I've been told the one I am currently working on is pretty ambitious so, probably that one. Basically, a civil war spanning 9 different POVs with multiple story threads (destruction of magic and dismantling the government being the main two plot threads) where the story starts before the civil...

    Time wasted, dreams crushed... same cover.

    From an artist's perspective, communication is vital (especially with commissions over the internet) so that is the artist's failure on not communicating with you. I've commissioned people before, and I will always prefer the talkative ones over the ones that are silent, no matter how slow or...

    Recommendations Fantasy BL that isn't Cultivation or World Hopping/System

    Okay okay onto the onslaught of suggestions: (I will give warning that I haven't actually read these stories for several years; unfortunately fluff wasn't exactly something I read that frequently. Fantasy though- I got you there) Okay, everything above ranges from romance, humor, fantasy. I...

    Recommendations Fantasy BL that isn't Cultivation or World Hopping/System

    While it has been a minute since I've read non-fanfiction BL, I remember loving several on the fictionpress.net site that I could throw at you depending on your preference? (Slow burn/violence/supernatural/character dynamic/etc)

    A Ghostly Art Thread

    I have a scanner at work so... traditional is the way to go (but I don't think my colored works would come out nicely at all since it seems to morph the contrast).

    Writing Synopsis

    Did some tweaking to better fit how the story goes so: It starts when someone takes a life that was never theirs to take. It ends when every shard drowns and nothing remains of what they once knew. Thirteen years ago there was a massacre; a witch hunt of the worst kind with the ashes of...
