    Is the Libby app free? Sounds interesting.

    Feedback on a short story?

    I'm not overly familiar with Blondie. Is this is by chance? https://www.alibris.com/search/books/isbn/9781600107405?invid=18298591551&ds_rl=1264488&msclkid=b36f3b2cbe2119842036535581237705&ds_rl=1264488&gclid=b36f3b2cbe2119842036535581237705&gclsrc=3p.ds&gad_source=7

    Feedback on a short story?

    Do they maybe have collection books you could buy? I know Dilbert an Garfield have quite a few where all the comics over the course of a year or so are compiled together. yeah you’re a bit mixed up. He had his notes and incomplete works destroyed. His family did that. While he feigned a bit of...

    Feed back for my chapter!

    Sorry this is super nitpicky of me, but... your chapter title, 'land of metal and steel'? Steel is a metal. It's like saying the land of food and bread. I don't know. Seems redundant to me.

    Feedback on a short story?

    Thank you, that is such high praise! And I hear you. I've been really inspired by Terry Pratchett's story collection. 2 books published post mortum were a collection of his short stories, some of which came entirely from fans who'd saved the old newspaper clippings! Really incredible they...

    Need feedback/review for my new fantasy novel!

    I like your premise and the writing is not bad, but the first chapter is a bit jarring. Not sure how to say it. There's no real description of the scene so one has to care enough to keep reading and piece things together, maybe? Also, the spacing on the sentences is a bit hard. I'd move them...

    How the stats work

    Sorry if this is covered in a FOQ or somewhere I should know about, but I've noticed something odd about the recent reader vs status stats. I'll sometimes look at the recent reader list. Like a moment ago I saw one that said 16/22. Seamingly implying this person had read 16 of the 22 chapters in...

    Feedback on a short story?

    Would anyone want to throw a few minutes of their day away reading a short story of mine? I just published it, I like the main character, and feel I can do more with her eventually, but the specific story, while I find very fun, might not pop either. Maybe not enough set up or drama? It's just a...

    Could someone please tell me if I still overdescribe things and my dialogues feel unnatural?

    I only read a few paragraphs but I liked your style actually.

    Lots Of Views, But No Favorites, Where Am I Dropping The Ball?

    You might check the stats. There's a section like 'real views' I think, that show how many people are reading for more than a minute. Its way lower than the total view count, at least in my experience. It might show how many are actually reading vs how many just gave it a glance and moved on, to...

    I have trouble with hooks and currently open to feedback swaps.

    I was surprised in chapter 2 to see the TV. I was picturing more of a medevel village. Tech wise, approximately what era is this story comparable to? "Monsters, demon spawns, lesser vampires, and other otherworldly creatures inhabited the lower districts." Also when you say inhabited, do they...

    I have trouble with hooks and currently open to feedback swaps.

    Thank you so Much for the feedback! Yes this is a lot of fetish dump but it’s tied to what I hope will reveal to be notable plot as well. Concerning Marcus can you elaborate on how he’s coming off shallow? I did think that a fast paced opener Chp originally worked but it probably evolved away...

    I have trouble with hooks and currently open to feedback swaps.

    Well, one chapter in and I'm interested enough to read more. Just some initial thoughts on chp 1: I'm not an English major but when the mystery knight speaks you break up the sentences by row, and don't always put things in parentheses: Leave her be, There is still time to flee, Run now dear...

    I have trouble with hooks and currently open to feedback swaps.

    Will do! And I hear you, the editing is important for final product. For me too I have an extended Universe and I want to focus on other stories but unfortunately only one of them has gathered a following, so I'm disproportionately focusing on that one now to keep momentum. ?‍♂️ Oh, links in my...

    Prologue to a story that may never happen...

    Sorry, small thing, but why is the beggar an "it'? "A beggar in the street below looked up from the trash it had been exploring and observed the figure’s passage"

    I have trouble with hooks and currently open to feedback swaps.

    Yeah I'd guess its the lack of chapters. I'd suggest getting into a groove where you publish every Monday or what have you. Consistency and chapter quantity seems to help attract people. That said, I am curious about these hybrid creatures you mention. I think I'd be down for a feedback swap if...
