Specifically talking about character names for this thread. Do you pick names because you like the way they sound? Do you pick names with a historical or entomological meaning? Is that meaning meant to reflect character or story themes, possibly foreshadowing?

Ethos deez nuts

When I was young, lIke really young. I couldn’t swallow pills without choking, I also had a medicine I needed to take. Because of that I had to get the pills distilled into a liquid substance and drink it. It was the most horrible thing I can imagine tasting and I had to drink every day for a...

Is the question would you rather be smart, rich or funny? If so this is my advice. Start over. You are picking the easiest most cookie cutter answer possible. The answer everyone expects you to write. I’d instead pick funny, talk about the importance of interpersonal relationships and how you...

Idk maybe I’ll order a pizza

Archive of our own? Don’t know never used it. I know a writing site called Fictionmania, with similar features to SH but it’s solely for gender bender smut writing, so unless that‘s your thing your thing knowing this info is probably useless I only really use scribble or novel updates to find...

I think some of you aren’t fully understanding my view. Obviously it‘s setting dependent, it would be stupid to see someone like Brienne of Tarth rocking stilettos. But I don’t like the precedent of cherry picking places to apply realism. If I’m reading a story where people can deflect bullets...

Another rant today. I saw a video on YouTube all about why female fantasy is horrible and I couldn’t help but disagree with a point. I concede that bikini armor is stupid, and it’s kind of pointless wearing a heavy chest plate if you’re just gonna leave your thighs exposed under a thin cloth...

Anime cat girls

Use find and replace feature. don’t do automatic just read the context before you replace the word, will take some time, but not too long

Average jp isekai mc, making fireworks but somehow never figuring out how guns work

I don’t think I’ve made much of an effort to hide my love of guns in fantasy stories. That’s not really what this thread is about. It’s more of me pointing and laughing at how many things much more technologically impressive then black powder weaponry show up in fantasy stories. I just think...

TLDR? Is this another RR hate thread? If so I’m totally in

at least for your main character cast. Try to include noticeable speech habits that make it so you can identify the speaker solely through their quotes. Should also note this is pretty hard to do in a way that feels natural, but if you can pull it off, the benefits are many

My RR cover got rejected because they thought a 90 yo photograph of an airplane taken by a random Spanish solider was a copyright protected work. Eventually got approved after I appealed and told the mod how much of an idiot they were, but I’d already given up on RR at that point. The...

Don’t worry. There’s no reason to post a Gender Bender story on RR when scribble hub exists. All of those readers already use this site

Rip, she never stood a chance :sweating_profusely:

Think I should clarify my point a bit more. When I look at covers on SH or NU I don’t really care about art quality, I’m looking more for an expression of effort. Putting more care into a cover is the easiest way to express that the author/creator cares about their story and is willing to invest...

It is b8, but I also genuinely believe it. A few years ago an edited ai cover would catch my attention, but now my brain just filters it out instantly
