    How does the system decide?

    Spoilers for things that aren't yet written in my story, so if you're reading that, then don't spoil yourself (very unlikely).

    How long does it take you to write a chapter?

    Some chapters, 2 hours for 1.5k words. Most chapters, 4-5 hours for 1.5k words. This includes research time for various topics covered in the chapter, gotta love trying to stick to realism in a fantasy story.

    What is your goal/dream in picking up writing?

    I had read a lot of different stories over time, and one day I was looking for something really specific but as far as I looked I couldn't find it. So now, almost 9 years later, I'm writing it. I've been on and off thinking about the story all those years, and decided to actually give it a...

    Should your selfish hero consider themself virtuous?

    It entirely depends on the tone you are trying to set. Either works.

    So, what's your weekly word count?

    My actual, per week average, is about what I post which is near 3200. The amount I CAN write in a week is close to 15k. But again, its the average. For instance, I'm writing a bunch now and next week, since Tears of the Kingdom comes out next Friday, and then I'm getting married in early...

    Story not showing on homepage!

    As a note, if you start with a provocative enough image, there is a decent chance it might get auto-filtered and then not show up on front page. Based on the image of your other story, that is probably what happened.

    Story not showing on homepage!

    What do you mean by on frontpage? Because I can find both your stories (which have the same name), and one even shows up on latest updates. Edit: And it shows up on page 8 of latest series. Edit2: If your complaint is you aren't getting free advertising, well, welcome to the rat race.

    What tags bring the most traffic to your story?

    Sounds like a real "slice of life".

    What tags bring the most traffic to your story?

    My bad, I totally read that initial one in the style of "Worst three things to have in a checkout aisle."

    What tags bring the most traffic to your story?

    As opposed to rape... without sexual content? I mean I guess technically Law & Order SVU might classify as that, but I think it'd still need Sexual Content too.

    How do you feel about the AWU writer's strike?

    I remember a mere 20 years ago when all that LGB wanted was the right to get married (A reasonable request given the law does in fact give tax benefits for those who are married). "Overreach" or "Slippery Slope Argument" isn't a fallacy. When I was in college I wrote a report for my required...

    How do you feel about the AWU writer's strike?

    This is why we have between 1/5 and 1/2 of every anime being an isekai right now. It's just downstream of the light novel/manga market. That said, I do wish that the US system would adapt to be more similar in that regard. Part of the issue with the US system is that TV shows etc have these...

    How do you feel about the AWU writer's strike?

    My understanding is most jobs currently hire contractually for a season or series of a show. Obviously certain base obligations need to be met (actually doing work), but I don't think that generally they're fired mid-season for bad performance, they just don't renew the series, or replace...

    How do you feel about the AWU writer's strike?

    The writers, as I understand it, are angry that the new contracts seem to be "gig economy" style jobs. Obviously, no one likes that their job becomes unstable. On the other hand AI writing was greenlit to be used without oversight by some production company, so they might end up just...

    guess they changed their mind?

    They might have miss clicked it. Has happened to me.

    Total words ÷ 4 = Views

    Its an ever changing ratio. For the first month, your views are going to be tens, if not hundreds or thousands of times lower than word count. Then for a while in the middle ground, it'll be single digits. Then when you break into the hundreds of thousands of views the ratio drops to less...

    People… :(

    There is a difference between recognition of tragedy, and valuing resilience to said tragedies. If people don't also value resilience to tragedy, then more tragedy will occur. There will ALWAYS be some form of suffering or tragedy in the world. If you value those who survive tragedy, then you...

    Need some advice

    They still will need art, if they want art. Depending on their confidence editing, they'll want an editor as well. There are certain requirements for the quality of English for Amazon KDP. There are still costs. Although, yes, I do advice using Amazon KDP. Self publishing is revolutionary.
