    New Novel Not Showing in Search – Need Help

    It just takes a while. Asking literally this question is practically a rite of passage for new scribblehub writers. You’re good.

    Is writing an original novel really more difficult than a fanfiction?

    What this is is that you have a problem most people writing fanfic don’t. Fanfic is a jumping off point. You’re treating it as a straight jacket. “Considering your story a failure” because you didn’t perfectly embody the original author is not typical. I have mostly written fanfic and I don’t...

    What's up with Webnovel site?

    Webnovel manipulates a ton of stuff to push their contracted stories. Most people who are particularly good at writing know better than to sign a contract with Webnovel. I consider myself fairly mid and I wouldn’t unless the money was very impressive and I had a lawyer look at it. Most people...

    Your Protagonist Swaps with You

    Whatever is in your head is probably better than what I actually wrote lol. Like I said, Gil is the outlet for my horniest and most self indulgent writing ideas, and is largely a dumb fanfic. I haven’t even bothered reposting his story on this website. By the end of the first arc he has...

    Your Protagonist Swaps with You

    One out of three ain’t bad. I’ve got a giant sprawling fanfiction that was the first thing I ever posted and the MC of THAT was a real piece of shit. World conquest mostly just because he had the capacity to do so. He was in a broadly good place at the end of the story so I’d be ok with subbing...

    Your Protagonist Swaps with You

    I trust Curtis to be decent, though I imagine there would be quite a lot of drama with my wife and smol child adjusting to a formerly isekaied finance bro replacing daddy. As far as my situation? Well fuck. I just got kidnapped by dark elves. At least I know more than he does about what they want.

    What Game Franchise do you want to be isekai into

    If I had a nickel for every time a massive extended family in Pokemon all had the same gender, basic appearance, and career I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

    What Game Franchise do you want to be isekai into

    There’s a certain appeal to Pokemon. It’s fairly modern, as even in the first game I played there was a game console at your tv. It’s surprisingly safe, assuming you have a Pokemon, as it is literally commonplace for ten year olds to go on unchaperoned pilgrimages funded by their own pocket...

    At some point AI will want to get paid

    Main difference? Those AIs wont be used unless they are actually better at whatever their job is than the (also sentient) perfect communist ones that consider the act of doing something for someone else to be the highest good. Because the commies and scabs can be copy pasted, and the ones who...

    Writing Prompt What would you add to make this story worse?

    Well obviously she infiltrates his inner circle within 2 years using the skills she picked up as a normal teenage girl, gets close to him, but he’s so handsome and charismatic that she keeps putting off her assassination plan as the author keeps finding other side plots to focus on. She does not...

    Exploring your villains...

    My current planned big bad is essentially based around the question of how much harm someone can do to something they love by not understanding it. She 100% wants to take over the pirate run chain of islands because she loves the culture that sprang up there, but doesn’t realize that folding...

    A Thread Where I Chew On Grass And Stare At You.

    This thread is bullshit. Due to all of the grass chewed and consumed while staring at passerby, you see. Keep an eye out; you don’t want to step in it, especially while it’s still fresh.

    Would Historical Fiction be considered Historical Fanfic?

    The first person to write derivative fiction was probably the third or fourth person to tell a story in a small hunter gatherer tribe using primitive grunts. Everyone after Ogg is just a fanfic writer. That said, we have created different strata of fanfiction based on how well you can hide your...

    Which of these fantasy creatures would you have as a companion?

    The dragon wins because it is a dragon, but it’s also just the best option for several other reasons. Talking. Implies sapience, and two heads are better than one. +1 to this guy and the snake. Can fly absurdly fast and will eventually be big enough to carry me if it isn’t already. +1 to...

    Indide games are RR of gaming world.

    They are what an organic market made them to be… and that’s still frequently whipping triple a development. Tbh that also holds up. If I had to choose between reading something of my choice on RR or half of the things on the NYT bestseller list? Time to read some LitRPG I guess.

    Good (class) skills for a thief?

    Because of my preferences I edged into supernatural here, but hopefully stayed in the spirit of thief. Stow- Become drastically better at hiding items on your person. Obviously works better with lots of baggy clothing, but even at base you can tell at a glance if there is anywhere on (or in)...

    Necromancer skills

    Hmm. Well, I’m all for summoning progressively bigger and nastier undead, but how about a few skills that let you use them as a resource. I tried to stay largely within the theme you established. Master’s Eyes: A skill common to multiple minion based classes. Allows the master to shift their...

    Dude sent me this on fictionpress private message

    It might work if he were a backlit silhouette with an awesome voice, but yeah on its own it’s kinda a nothing message. That said, I have very mixed feelings whenever I get a “thanks for the chapter” comment. I get my hopes up for feedback and it’s… thanks for the chapter. Like. I’m glad they...
