    What do you think the next big fad will be?

    Litrpgs have been the big thing in online fiction for the past few years, but it can't stay that way forever. It'll probably never go away entirely, but it's eventually going to fade away from the spotlight and be replaced with something else. What do you think that "something else" is going to...

    I bought a Steam Deck

    My tax refund came in yesterday, and I decided to splurge a little. I was planning to wait for the Steam Machine, but with the hardware shortage making Valve push the release date back, and the fact that they've been dropping hints that it won't be priced to compete with modern consoles, I...

    When does a character go from flawed to unlikable?

    To answer your questions, I have to go deep into what the book is about. Thirteen years ago, the Remaking happened. Earth wasn't destroyed, it just became Nyr, and Nyr brought the System that runs everything with it. The only thing from Earth that's still around are the people. 99% of the...

    When does a character go from flawed to unlikable?

    That sums it up in a general sense, but it's also more complicated than that. Nothing happened while she was gone. But when she saved Jeremy, he tried to reward her with gold (because he's an NPC). She refuses the reward, which his NPC brain interpreted as her giving him the money and decides...

    When does a character go from flawed to unlikable?

    She abandoned her post to go see him, found him getting attacked, and rescued him. When she goes back to camp and gets caught, they tell her that mobs only attack NPCs (which is what Jeremy is) when there's a Hero (which is what Miranda is) nearby to save them. I might delete that part, though.

    When does a character go from flawed to unlikable?

    The first time we see her, she's rescuing her helpless fantasy-comatose boyfriend from a monster, talking about how much she misses him, and promising to wake him up soon. We don't find out she abandoned her post until the next chapter.

    When does a character go from flawed to unlikable?

    When I wrote Miranda as one of the main characters in XNPC, I wanted her to be heavily flawed but still sympathetic. According to the comments I'm getting on Royal Road, I failed at that pretty hard. We're less than twenty chapters in, and people are already saying that she's completely...

    Not as bad as I thought?

    It's easier to get readers on Royal Road if you're writing anything other than smut here. XNPC has only been up a couple weeks, but it's gotten way more attention on there than here. But the Scribble Hub forums are way better than RR's. On RR, you can get your whole account banned for...

    Anyone else not getting emails?

    Huh. I got an email for this one, but not for any of the replies on the other thread I posted a couple hours ago.

    Anyone else not getting emails?

    A few days ago I stopped receiving emails whenever someone replied to a thread I was subscribed to. I checked my account details, and my email hasn't changed. I also don't have Scribble Hub marked as spam on my email account. Has anyone else stopped getting emails?

    Title and Hotel Name Help

    No, because as soon as I open the floor to other people's suggestions, all anyone cares about is getting their ideas in my book.

    Title and Hotel Name Help

    In the second XNPC book, they're going to spend a good chunk of the story at a fancy hotel, and I want to make the name of that hotel the title of the book. The hotel is owned by a sentient Hero character, and they gave it a name that reflects the state of the world the story takes place in, in...
