    Are Slow Starts Too Boring?sl

    Find the first time in your story he uses his powers and start there. No one wants to read a story about a guy who gets cool powers and then cries about it.

    What's your checklist for giving specific rating to a story?

    I give a 5 if I like it and don’t bother if I don’t.

    I hate that elves live for a 1000 years. I don’t care if it’s the staple. It’s jarring.

    I never got why living that long was an huge advantage. Peoples memories aren’t good enough it’d really matter and how useful is ancient knowledge anyway? “Ah I did electronics 50 years ago, I can help” No you can’t, you’ll remember fuck all about it and are 50 years out of date. “I studied...

    Scribble Hub Facts: Smut Hub Real or Not?

    Bad methodology. Just because there’s more non-smut novels, doesn’t mean people are reading them.

    What's the point?

    We're writing fantasy though, so we can just make shit up. Don't let realism make your story boring.

    How to Get back on the Saddle?

    Just start. Don't go back, don't rewrite. Catch up on the story if you forgot it then write. Putting words down is all you need to do.

    Any writers making money off this site?

    I make about $350 a month, which ain't bad! It's nearly all Scribblehub because the only other place I crosspost is Ao3 which doesn't allow Patreon promotion, though I've branched out to a few other places lately. I have a £10 tier that lets people commission 5k words off me a month with 5...

    Brain storm: We can call them... what?

    It’d be superheros or mages depending on the style. We wouldn’t invent a whole new term for a thing we already have a word for. Same way we’d call zombies, zombies and not Walkers or whatever.

    How to Stop a Strong Character from Becoming a Mary Sue

    Gary Stu is redundant, it only came about because some people saltily insisted only women could be a Mary Sue. Everyone knows what Mary Sue means, there's no confusion if they're referring to a male character.

    What you hate?

    The plot twisting to excuse the MC’s shitty behavior. If they’re always right to act like a dick I find it really irritating I think this rules out basically the entire of Scribblehub
