For me, I simply like the story I am telling. I am not trying to create some grand master piece, I do not have any sort of goal-type criteria of what the story must be, or any other sort of 'meta' goal in writing. There is no hyperbolic "artistic vision" to follow or master. I am simply...

Well, first it requires the same thing as any other story: Interesting characters/people who are doing interesting things, written with sufficient skill. There is also the matter for personal taste for the type or style of a story. For me personally, murder-holes are just as boring as...

In windows, for anyplace you can type text: if you hold the [Windows] key, and press the [.] key, it pops up a small window with three tabs. The first two are different types of emojis, the third tab is symbols. Your most recently used symbols are on the top of the list in that third tab. My...

I can enjoy a LitRPG, but I do not think I will every try to write one. At least, not a 'real' one. I do have an idea that involves a sort of virtual LitRPG situation (a 'resort' planet with high magic + high tech has a world wide running game with visitors getting a LitRPG experience), but I...

To clarify: with-yuri-romance, or do you want sex scenes? While not a harem, I do have an MFF throuple with strong feelings and intimacy between the two women, as well as other relationships involving 2+ women, plus some later stuff that shifts dynamics slowly, but for all the sexual tension...

My villains (as opposed to antagonists) are based on the type of people IRL I consider villainous. They don't have *moral* reasons for their actions, they have selfish reasons, or reasons based on hatred and fear (bigotry/racism), or sadistic reasons. Someone like Bernie Madoff doesn't feel...

Well, for Mama Fox, I suspect that the non-con/rape aspect would be the "illegal sexual content". I have no idea why for Money Grubber. Maybe it got auto-rejected because the other one was? But there is a link right there to make an appeal.

If you are modifying your work because of what LLMs do, then you are weakening your writing. LLMs 'learned' patterns like that because those patterns are what people have been using since the 1900's. Italics have been used for emphasis since before personal computers existed (though only when...

It's a little easier when it's fantastical racism. In my setting, there is specifically a group of blood-purists that exists cross species in sub-groups. Examples: The humans and elves both have their own sub-groups of blood purists, and the sub-groups naturally think their species is slightly...

Well, I think I'll put mine, "No Need For A Core?", down for this list. Because very few named characters are here and gone, and even then, some of them make surprise returns. First, we have three MCs. Mordecai is the powerhouse, though the starting scenario initially locks most of that power...

I only have the one, but at 875k+ words and #5 in Marriage of Convenience on Scribble Hub, I think it's fair to say it's a solid entry here. :) https://www.scribblehub.com/series/1063356/no-need-for-a-core/ Hmm. Based on the rest of the context, I think you missed the word 'just' in your...

Free grammarly as a final-sweep before it goes to Patreon and my editor is fine, because I'm just checking the red underlines to find things like having typoed one word into another word, so it wasn't caught by the spell checker. I ignore yellow underlines entirely, and I'll glance at blue...

Hmm. Mine might be a close, though not perfect, match for you. Not a harem per se, but there is a MFF thruple for the central relationship, and there are lots of strong female characters throughout the series, many of whom are stronger than the male character. Now, the two women in the...

If you have to pick which to focus on, IMO, characters are the most important thing. Characters who are vivid and 'real' enough, whom you can care about, bring you into the story. Even if I don't really care about the plot much, as long as I can enjoy the characters, I can enjoy the story. of...

Decent, with them being a little weaker at the beginning and growing stronger later in the series, as part of my general improvement in writing over three years.

Panth/ster here, but not completely free form every chapter. I started with just the starting scenario and built from there. I have done world building on the fly, and some of that world building has advanced out to creating specific story way points to reach, but I don't map the path there. If...

I am an electronics/avionics technician who has worked on everything from military ships and air frames to high-tech manufacturing for military equipment to medical equipment maintenance to automatic gates (install and maintenance). I also did some game testing for about a year. Writing is by...

The reason needs to match the story. For me, it is an integral part of the story — the initial scenario in my head involved an ancient, knowledgeable, and once powerful entity bound having been sealed and effectively rescued by a woman, but in spiritual form, so lacking much of his former...

My preferred style/level has two aspects: A) It is clear that there is a reason that this System exists, even if we do not know what the system is. Generally, this means that the true powers that be created the system, whether as an aid to the mortal races or as a shackle. Bonus: this generally...
