    I respect writers who can stick to a set schedule immensely

    I marathoned for december so that while I am on vacation I could release a chapter everyday while not having to write at all on break. Gift to my readers, myself, and my family. I find that having a backlog lets me keep schedule easily enough. Write 5 chapters in 3 days? Cool, I'm done for a...

    The Importance of REPRESENTATION in Media

    I have a take and an observation on the topic. My take - write a character and a story and make it good. I understand how some people feel excluded or different for one reason or another. The point of most characters that are good are that they are "sympathetic" not "identical". If you can...

    Has anyone received any propositions or deals from people interested in your stories before?

    I've never looked passed the initial offering, but you could hypothetically modify their entire contract to be completely in your own favor, changing all the legal wording, then send that back to them signed and say "here is my revised contract, please sign". Worst case, they catch it and say...

    Writing Can Be Hard

    I struggle with it all the time. I haven't missed a deadline yet. I've finished a chapter 35 minutes before the deadline though. Over the years I've learned my limit for work and procrastination, which is a double edged. On one hand, I don't miss deadlines. On the other hand, I know exactly...

    Has anyone received any propositions or deals from people interested in your stories before?

    So you're saying the story I only wrote 12 chapters on webnovel that I abandoned because I was just using it as a place to build up my writing skill is worth almost $150 now? Damn, maybe I did bet on the wrong horse. I'm only kidding however, as I'm glad I never took a webnovel contract. I'd...

    Good Music

    All of Toby Fox's works (undertale, many of the pokemon scarlet tracks) are pretty good. Fake Type is a favorite of mine. Radwimps is obviously quite good.

    Who is author who gets the most comments per chap

    If you only have one chapter total, and that chapter has 200 comments back and forth, I think it counts. If you have more than three chapters total though, then we can rule it an outlier, and you'll have to use the "per chapter" in the question, and either exclude it, or take an average.

    Who is author who gets the most comments per chap

    On SH or also RR? Because if its just SH, I'd guess that of the active members probably @Corty

    Review Swap

    Here on SH, there are only 2 main reasons to care about reviews. 1 - you want feedback (which is completely fair) 2 - you want potential readers to have the option of understanding the story's value to them from a 3rd party's perspective. Most other reasons come from a misguided understanding...

    The scale of time in fantasy stories

    IF the fantasy country has humans that are supposed to be analogous to Earth humans, then 10k years is a long time. Hypothetical races that aren't human with different natural dispositions and lifetimes could reasonably be made that could sustain a country for that long, however, they wouldn't...

    Pay me to give you your ideas

    There is no shortage of ideas. Heck, there isn't even a shortage of good ideas. Demand for stories vastly outstrips production. A lot of people on patreon even have tiers where you pay them money, and they write a one-shot of your ideas. The only people who could feasibly sell their story...

    January 1st public domain bids

    Copyright is already wayyyyy to lenient because of lobbying from companies like disney. I say give property 25 years from the original creator's death then make it public domain. A company should be forced to declare the individual who gets credit for the idea as the copyright when they go to...

    Races or Species

    They have specific connotations. Races implies genetic similarity to the level of being able to breed without an issue. We specifically use it to refer to other humans on earth. The other term is breeds (such as dogs or horses), this is why half-dwarves or half-elves are sometimes referred...

    Name a trope or genre you wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole in your writing

    BL, GL, Female Lead, Fanfic. Just about everything else I've dabbled in in one form or another under pseudonyms, but I've only ever committed fully to writing my current story. All the others were things I wrote with no commitment, and just for practice, and all of them are abandoned...

    Current number of tabs open

    I cannot comprehend how people have 10+ tabs open for extended periods of time. Sure, I'll open 15 and close them 1 at a time as I schedule chapters. Otherwise, it's like 3 at a time, maybe 4. I see people with 80 tabs open like I view horders. They're afraid they'll suddenly forget how to...

    Do sad, tragic stories make you depressed?

    I find that it depresses me for a short time (a week to a month, thanks clannad), but they've given me a much better perspective on life. I don't get bothered by minor inconveniences as much.

    Ko-fi advice needed.

    It's pretty straight forward to setup. Just fill out stuff as they ask for it. Once you have your blank page, get your tiers set up. Then go to collections, and make a collection for each tier (I just named them the same as the tier). Then when you go to make or schedule a post, be sure to...

    Ko-fi advice needed.

    So, first I'd advise patreon over ko-fi. I hate patreon and I'm saying this. If you don't care about making money use ko-fi, ko-fi has a better model and is less corrupt, but no one uses it (sadly). I run both, and my ko-fi has had 0 people give me money and my patreon makes ~70 dollars a...

    Why do you read?

    I'll be honest, I have read exactly 1 short story in the past year. Someone reading my story asked if I would read their story because they valued my opinion. That's it. I used to read a lot. The issue is that I'm somewhat autistic, and very rarely enjoy reading or watching something I've...
