    Writing How to Write a Good Romance Scene or Buildup?

    What kind of romance stories and tropes are to your taste? If you aren't sure, what kind of friendship stories and tropes are to your taste, for that matter? Or rivalry stories and tropes? Both of those can usually be altered into romance, if you feel like it. (Not liking smut is valid, I'm...

    Writing Writing: I need help, serious help with the prologue of my novel.

    I dunno if I'd recommend rewriting overall, or if this makes sense, but my instinct would be... If Ch. 21 is where you feel is where it gets good, I'd throw the first 20 chapters into a linked prologue, and start with Ch 21 as Ch 1 so they know what they're in for, and then edit Ch 21+ so that...

    Which Tags are red flags?

    Conversely! If you're writing fantasy or sci-fi or something else otherwise sufficiently removed from the current state of the world, gender roles can just not exist if you want, or be wildly different

    Need help for writing this and critiques.

    Awesome! I don't know Markor, but I do wonder if it might be worth using a different spellchecker in addition or in place of it, because the forum spellchecker is picking up several things... but still, this is way better overall.

    How do i write science fiction!!?

    Is there any reason you wanna do cool sciency things specifically rather than cool magicy things or whatever? I know science isn't your strong suit, but is there any area of science you do know a good deal about?

    How to be less anxious after receiving first commission order?

    1. Drink water and eat a reasonable quantity of reasonably healthy food, if you're thirsty/hungry, respectively. 2. Exercise. 3. Take a shower. Doing all of these will help calm your body down. If your body is all nicely taken care of and you're still anxietying, perhaps come back and tell me...

    Name your most desired super powers

    Active: Omnipotence. Do Anything. While this could be too much in the long run, it could easily be downgraded whenever you want using Omnipotence, if you really wanted to. Passive: Ideal Form Constantly and painlessly reshapes my body to my current mental image of my body, while making it...

    Need help for writing this and critiques.

    So, your writing is very weird and a bit difficult, but I sort of like it? Feels a bit like older pulpy fantasy stuff. But you have your own voice there, and I wouldn't cut it down so much that you lose that, if that's how you want to write, you know? You can certainly develop other voices, if...

    I think I might be on the beginnings of a burnout

    If longer chapters is one of the stressors, have you tried going back to shorter chapters?

    I wanted to become a freelancer artist but I'm not confident on my drawings

    I dunno, I'd say... Figure out your boundaries and pace yourself if you decide to do commission work, but like... worst case scenario, it doesn't work? Use a pseudonym, doubly so if you're going to draw lewd stuff. Don't connect it to your RL accounts. Upload your stuff to one of the free...

    "novel" might be an overstatement at the size of 3 chapters, however, a thing I wrote: https://archiveofourown.org/works/52609105/chapters/133073353

    Writing Prompt You from the future.

    You were about to sleep when your surroundings vibrate as a tear in the fabric of space-time is created, making a yonic-shaped portal in front of your bed. With a firm thud of a boot, someone steps out of it, looking at you with a hint of nostalgia. "I'm you from the future." You sit up...

    HakoMari and philosophy, I suppose

    ...haven't read, but I dunno, 400,000 loops of suicide and then ending up that he couldn't speak or function like a human... that's consequence-free? Maybe it's not a compelling resolution given he was doing what Maria was opposed to, but like....

    Add a new chapter between already published chapters without alerting your readers?

    I'd just outright let them know so no one gets confused and your big fans get a chance to read it? No one who's twenty chapters into the story is going to judge you too harshly for editing another chapter in, I think-- it's extra content, even if it's a bit late, y'know?

    Writing a novel with multiple characters' POV

    I do something sort of adjacent to this in An Inclement Proposal, where I basically just have an omniscient narrator talk about the character's feelings and thoughts all the time as the narrative progresses.

    Question about A.I. Data Scrubbing

    I mean, if they pay for it, absolutely, even without any deeper security-breaking things? Kindle Unlimited gets you access to a lot of things, and text is not that hard to copy out of PDFs or whatever.
