Author notes and replying to comments. I'm always thanking people for leaving reviews and their support throughout the series lifetime. Opening a discord and building a community around the series was the best idea I ever did, not only is it motivating for me, but it keeps readers engaged. I've...

I've tried Microsoft Word, Ommwriter, Scrivener, and now I just write everything on Google Docs. The benefits of working in the cloud won out in the end. I know I can always write/continue a chapter wherever I am. Scrivener is also good as a tool to keep all your notes, characters and...

After never really drawing anything in my life, I thought it would be fun to learn to draw cool landscapes, with the ultimate goal of getting good enough to create desktop wallpapers of landscapes in my series for patron members. I got myself an Artist 24 Pro Gen 2 165hz using my patron...

I have plans to make some in the future. Short 16 - 24k words of a side story covering some important event or invention that really delves deeper into the lore of the world and expands on the worldbuilding. But these would be Patreon rewards and not posted as part of the main story.

Pretty much this. I didn't understand writers talking about their characters as if they were real independent people until I really found the voices of my protagonists. Writing scenes then became less of me directing them as opposed to me placing the protagonist in the scene and seeing what...

I've been offered a non-exclusive contract by Tapas to bring over Amelia Thornheart under their pay-to-unlock-faster scheme. I was wondering what kind of experience those here who are under contract with Tapas have had?

If you're a Tanimura!!!-enjoyer like me, then in 2023 Elajjaz tried to complete DS2 with permadeath and randomizer. If you know DS2 a lot you know it's packed full of quirks that keep those Tanimura!!! moments coming. They are good other monitor videos: His VODs are all listed here. He also...

Tanimura!!!

For NovelPets I planned to implement a 5 star system but now am deciding against it. I'm going to build the platform where it's not possible for an authors ranking to be harmed via any negative or malicious feedback, to prevent any malicious authors using bots or other means to attack their...

Hiding mistakes like: Author: "I'm going to create my fantasy institution that is based of this real-world organisation!" Reader: "Hey, your institution wouldn't work like this. In real life it would do X but you've done Y." Author: "...That's the real-world one. Mine is different so it can do Y."

Can you give an example of something you believe is significantly better for $50? I'm very interested as I'm looking to commission a cover.

TL;DR: No tl;dr for you, read it you lazy f- The title of this post might be better described as "Successful Patreon Launch! And Why American Culture > British Culture", as I've made a recent observation regarding how my American friends vs British friends react to success. But first, I...

At the risk of starting the 500th AI debate on SH, looking at the guy's Fiver, I'm quite impressed at the quality of his work. My understanding is he largely uses AI tools to generate his imagery and then uses his graphical design to arrange the cover and make any adjustments in Photoshop. That...

The furaffinity server that hosts your image is returning a 403 forbidden. However, when I visit the link manually it loads for me, and then your signature loads fine. You can always buy a cheap domain name and run your own cdn under Cloudflare - that's what I've done with my scene dividers...

I couldn't come up with a good name for my series, so I just called it after the main protagonist's name. Seems to have worked out, despite giving very little information. I have come to appreciate the addition of tags into a web novels title ala Royal Road. Looking at their rising stars, 6...

This is a great idea I never thought of before! Do you have any recommendations for TTS/AI narration apps?

Have you ever heard about how you make up your mind about someone in the first two seconds? Novels are similar, but for most people, it's only the synopsis and the first chapter. There will always be nitpicking readers that will pick up on something small and pass on your series, but as a...

2k words a day for 2025 is my plan :blob_cookie:

Posting here because I've only ever heard bad things about RR forums lol. :blob_cookie: But! I was checking in on some stats and noticed this! The prevailing advice I've seen on SH regarding RR is that you need a high-quality litRPG series to do well. Especially against the hawkish RR...

I'll do the summoning ritual. @Tempokai :blob_cookie:
