    Free Chapter Feedback from a Seasoned Editor (CLOSED)

    It was already quite suspicious when 2 of them popped up in the same hour, and both are new accounts.

    How 'set' does a posting schedule need to be?

    I see. I might consider changing it if I can free up some time, but for now I think 3 is enough. How many chapter did you have before you opened your patreon, if I may ask? I had like 10 chapters in the backlog but one busy week and I burned through them (when I tried doing once per day)...

    How 'set' does a posting schedule need to be?

    I don't have a Patreon yet, but what is Patreon stretch goals? :blob_hmm:

    How 'set' does a posting schedule need to be?

    Let's say the goal is to attract more readers. I know that posting once or twice per day is best, but I don't have time to do that. I have other works that involve writing, and when I tried to post once per day, I got burnt out. So maybe 3 times a week is good. But can it just be 3 times a...

    I too, have appeared on the 'Treading' list :3

    I'm sorry but I don't think I have any suggestion to give. I didn't do anything out of ordinary. Added some smut, posted the first 5 chapter with an hour or two in between each post, then one chapter per day for the next 10. Now I'm down to 2 chapters per week. No advertising or shoutout or the...

    Should I quit writing?

    I just assumed that he had another contracted work, though in that case you can just drop the 'failed' one and keep the contracted one.

    I too, have appeared on the 'Treading' list :3

    I was thinking that I saw someone who collects 1-star the other day, and you appeared :blob_hmm:. Thank you. I'll try not to. I suppose you just get used to it over time. I think that it'd be better if you can only rate a story after reading a certain number of chapters though.

    I too, have appeared on the 'Treading' list :3

    And got my first 1-star :blob_pat_sad: . Tbf I haven't seen any longer story without at least one 2-star, unless they only have a small number of readers. Still a bit sad to see though.

    I too, have appeared on the 'Treading' list :3

    Unfortunately, not number 1 of the treading list, but 2. Still, it's quite a pleasant surprise to be on the treading list at all for my first story with only 21 chapters:blob_hide:.

    #1 on Trending. Am I hallucinating or is it real?

    Good job :3. There're still 105 people better than me in Handjob, so I got my work laid out for me. :blob_pat_sad: (And also my ranking just changed to #103 in arranged marriage now. Guess I need to arrange more marriages).

    I GOT ONE!

    I'm the employer. I can confirm he did. (And I still haven't got enough backlog for a patreon :blob_teary: ). Congrats though, first step is important :3.

    What day(s) do you post?

    I posted everyday until chapter 20, then every two days until chapter 50 or so, then 2-3 times a week. At least that's the plan. I'm on 19 now.

    When did you start writing?

    Around when I was 18 or 19, so 14 years ago. It was a Harry Potter x Fate crossover. Then I wrote fanfic for years after that. I blame gabriel blessing's 'In Flight' for pulling me down that rabbit hole. That was my first ever fanfiction, and also the reason I enjoy crossover more than regular...

    Need feedback on this first chapter draft. (Experimental)

    I think it's a fail. The one you linked, while cliche, read a lot better. .

    Need feedback on this first chapter draft. (Experimental)

    My first impression is that everything feels...detached, because you were jumping from head to head, at first it was the narrator, then it was the girl, then it was Daniel, in a single scene. Having a single pov here would have more impact, so the reader could read about what they thought, felt...

    Setting up a Patreon

    You just have to change which tiers are allowed to see that post, right? Or do you make new post?

    Setting up a Patreon

    My story have entirely smut chapters, so RR isn't an option :blob_teary:. The smut isn't the main focus but that still violates RR's TOS, right? Not that I need to think about it soon. 17 chapters posted and 10 in the backlog.

    Setting up a Patreon

    So a good point to start a patreon is around 50 chapters? I'm new to this as well and would like some advice.

    Have you ever thought, “What if my story never gets popular?”

    I kinda got used to it :v. When I first started writing fanfiction over a decade ago, I lucked into the popular 'meta' of Harry Potter crossover with OP edgy 'independant' Harry, and that fic got good number of favs and comments. If I reread that fic now I'd die of cringe. The subsequence fics...
