    I Read the Original Draft of My Story and...

    Oh yeah... the MC is mostly the same but nearly everything else is different. Each revision made the story darker. Was a romance angle in the original which doesn't exist now. Another MC originally died early in the first book. An ally became an enemy, enemy became...well, less of an enemy...

    Chapter Lengths

    I don't care as much if the chapters are posted on a regular basis. If it's sporadic and could be a week, could be three months between chapters? Then yeah, 1000 words is a bit light. If you post 3 times a week, no big deal.

    Write your username using individual letters here

    I'm afraid if I write mine out and then read it, shit might start floating.

    I haven’t been sent a notice of a high school reunion l.

    I don't even know how anyone would track me down short of knowing my parents or siblings. The only social media I have is Facebook, but that is only family, and the settings are such that you need to be a friend of a friend to see me at all. Completely different address and phone number, and...

    You either get old, or get dead.

    As authors, what do you look for...

    Does it list 'Story Marc' as the author/creator? That, I have found, is usually a pretty good sign that it will be useful. But in all honesty, if I have a question about a certain aspect, I look at multiple sources and try to get multiple ideas on different approaches. Even if the end result is...

    Just venting it off

    Put the medication in a Vitamin jar, or tic tac jar or something innocuous. Though if you do that, plan on keeping some of the real candy in it if people ask to share.

    Share Embarrassing Moments You Experienced Or Saw.

    I walked into a glass wall a la Tommy Boy. Complete with crushing/spilling the drink I had in my hand. Not me, but I had a classmate crush and snort an Altoid during English class. Cue lots of screaming and a nosebleed on his part during the middle of a lecture....

    Replacing swearing

    Do you consider 'pissed' as swearing? I have heard 'miffed' as a substitute for that one, both in books and real life. Oh, one last question: What region is the character from (if based in some version of this world), as even between English speaking countries like American, Australia and Great...

    Thats the average fanfic grammar level on webnovel...

    That's my point. It was still understandable, the first comment was being willfully obtuse.

    Thats the average fanfic grammar level on webnovel...

    Well the grammar needs some help, I'm equally concerned about the reading comprehension of the commenter's.

    What is friendship created through adultery?

    Course, the other side of the coin, and the one I see as more likely to actually produce a good relationship is the partners who were cheated on becoming friends. Mutual suffering and being support for each other as they trauma-bond. Who else is going to be able to understand what they're going...

    Replacing swearing

    A 1950's author I like, James H. Schmitz would use 'Great Day in the Morning!' as a substitute for things like 'holy shit' or 'goddamn'. My mother uses 'I'm Fine', as a substitute for 'Fuck off'. It's all about setting the scene and describing the tone and emotion behind it.

    Conveying size

    I try to use a little description keeping it vague, but sketching broad details to allow the reader to envision it, especially using characters reactions to it. The soaring metropolis of Vershina was truly a gem in the wilderness. The new city gleamed with technological sheen, marching rows of...
