Author is better, if I was new to this website, I would think a scribbler is simply a member of this site and not an author. And yes people brought up the dictionary definition, but lets be honest, who sits around the internet with a dictionary?

I don't know to say I'm seasoned, but one of the biggest mistakes is usage of tropes without thinking about if it actually fits into the story. Tropes in themselves aren't a bad thing, but since the trope has been thought up by other writers, we subconsciously tend to skip a few steps of the...

Self promotion is SHAMELESS! People should have some standards. Especially those who put promotional logos of their novel in their signatures while pretending they have some sort of standard, smh

You generally don't need to take out your battery, most phones have a hard reset button. Like on most android phones its something like power + vol down for 5 seconds. That said, I also prefer removable batteries in general. This is part of the reason I use my older phones more than my newer...

\ I will also recommend Krita. Krita is open source so it is free. Krita is a fork of GIMP, though they have come a long way apart. The big difference between Krita and GIMP is that GIMP tries to be the open source photoshop. While Krita tries to be the best open source painting app...

If I saw those BBs, it made me think texting teen. A true user would be using Windows Mobile, Palm or Symbian.

LONG LIVE HORIZONTAL SLIDER KEYBOARD PHONES! (running the old dead windows mobile, NOT the new dead windows mobile, the old dead one was better) I also have a Note 4 and a Galaxy 8+

Isn't the stereotype evil person an alchemist? You know? Make poisons and the like. Alchemy is also semi-science related and doesn't need much socializing.

Uhm, never? Unless my cat master demands it. Some things are better off as a hobby. The thing about artistic stuff is that it is hard to make a career out of it because creativity isn't something that appears out on a time table. Now of course everyone has bills to pay, and it's a good income...

What content are you talking about in specific? Generally an e-reader using e-ink would put less stress on your eyes (Assuming you are reading in daylight), e-ink ereaders also last longer without recharging. But they are generally for reading epubs and pdfs, not so sure about surfing the web...

Yes, different POVs can bring a lot to the table as you can fill in the blanks or in some cases get a different feel for what the MC or some character did. That said, I would really avoid changing POV in the same chapter. If you are gonna do it, don't do it more than once. You can do a back and...

Well the numbers show that UUID isn't being used, so the maximum should be no more than 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 or 2X that if unsigned (18,446,744,073,709,551,615).

One that fits into the plot. So many novels think of the protagonist first, then the plot of the novel. This is why you get things like protagonist changing personalities after the 1st arc or suddenly protagonist having personality changes forced upon them by the plot. I'm not picky about...

For the time being, I use Libre Office + LanguageTool Plugin(grammar check) + ngrams data (Google's data for common errors) + word2vec data (AI trained error detection)

I've been trying to program my own in my free time (non-existent free time). It's not that the already out there software is bad, but like all terrible authors, I prefer to blame my tools. Long story short, I'm trying to have the editor be more based towards web fiction writing/editing rather...

Why not just have the character grow naturally as part of the story? You know, learn from their mistakes or beat things they failed to in the past. Or do you mean how do you avoid those boring training arcs? Generally, comedy makes for good glue. If you want to make something boring readable...

Isn't it because of perception of humans and animals? Humans put up walls and masks, animals once you break down the initial cautiousness of an animal, they tend to be true to their instincts. So it is easier to break down portray affection. So an animal girl would start cuddling to the MC or...

It doesn't matter if readers can or can't predict the plot, a journey is all about experiences, not just the destination. If you want your story to be fun for the readers and good enough to reread if they wish to, as mentioned execution is what counts. While throwing some curve balls may be...

PETA violation maybe? I don't know, are catgirls part of PETA's jurisdiction?

A great magician once made an elephant disappear by diverting the crowd's attention and simply walking the elephant off the stage. There is also a saying, the best place to hide things is in plain sight. So you know, writing in 1st person doesn't always means giving out everything the...
