    are you using linux distros?

    I do own those exact socks and am linux user. Like I haven't used windows as a daily driver since 8.1

    Thoughts on pure Slice of Life?

    So something like Akebi's Sailor Uniform? I love that shiz. Like I wouldn't like a show based upon my own life because if my own life was interesting (or at least more interesting) I wouldn't be a writer (or I'd be a very different sort of writer). But life doesn't need magic or grand quests to...

    First novel, I need some help

    Actually, you know what's weird? This morning my latest chapter had 3 likes and only one view. I think the site's metrics might just be a little confused right now

    are you using linux distros?

    I use Arch BTW actually for real it actually makes a difference to my writing. Keyboard layouts on linux are text files you can just edit. I edited mine to include some symbols I use a lot and would otherwise need to learn some unicode hold super and shift and enter its hex value bullshit for...

    What is the biggest mistake in your life?

    When I was 12 I did something to my phone that software bricked its wifi module by not properly following a tutorial. It didn't work again for the entire time that phone was my daily driver. Eventually after it had been replaced I finally followed my dad's advice and factory reset it, which did...

    How to keep writing when no one reads your novel

    I set out with a specific plan in mind with the intention to carry it through to its end. This was about proving I could write a longer form story. I definitely have made small course corrections due to reader reaction. (For example, Charlie was just someone they bumped into and I had no wider...

    What do you use to write with?

    KDE Ghostwriter. Markdown has its limitations compared to word but the tradeoff is I get a lot more control. Word is an xml document under the hood and can wind up with invisible empty elements. Meanwhile markdown gives me direct control over where to put "begin italics" and "end italics"...

    Stories with an MTF protagonist, discovering herself. Bonus points for romance!

    I know it probably fails your requirement of more grounded being a superhero story, but I will never miss an opportunity to tell people to read Cape and Capability by Alice Pryke. It has an MtF protagonist doing the self discovery thing as well as the funniest love triangle I've ever seen in my...

    Werewolves: Fluffy or Feral?

    Fluffy feels like a copout to me. Like is it really a werewolf if its not trying to rip your face off at least a little? That said, my own werewolf character is deep in cute, loyal and fluffy territory, with the caveat I'm trying to do something with the idea of people wrongly assuming savagery...

    Writing How to learn to write?

    If you don't like to talk then why do you write? What is writing if not a whole load of talking? I know personally that I use the same neural circuitry to write as I use to socialize. In fact, most of what I write by volume is probably social media posts. Before I decided to write my grand...

    Something that is written very elegantly.

    Well this just sounds like a trap. "Do you think you're novel is good enough?". Well what author could resist that challenge? See here's the thing: I treat tonal consistency like it murdered my girlfriend, endangered my life and gave my mother permanent brain damage. I use big words because...

    Does writing novel longer make us lose our ideas and exhausted?

    There's a certain kind of writer who writes an establishing scene and then writes episodic stories until they run out of them. If profession obligates them like in the case of Ranma ½ then when they run out of ideas or are canceled by executives for poor performance, they'll write a weak ending...

    I finally hit 1K views on NeaNight!

    Is that… a big deal? Not trying to throw shade its just… I blew past that milestone unremarked and if I'm owed a cake I demand my cake! I'm realizing I might have been setting unfair expectations for myself.

    How was your april fools? Mine was great!

    Well I was already working on a pretty out there chapter, so I just uploaded that. The prank is letting my readers guess if it was even canon or not.

    How traumatized is your main character?

    Well she's had a lifetime of verbal and physical abuse from her transphobic father, drowned, been almost murdered, kidnapped, shot and hunted by killer androids. I'ma gonna say very. She walks with a slight limp and can't put her head underwater without recreating one of the seizure scenes from...
