    Using "." or [ ] in dialogues?

    Using brackets [ ] as quotation marks is incorrect and marks you as an amateur. Consistency is bullshit, all that means is you will be consistently wrong. Use the CORRECT markers, "quotation marks," and I promise, no one will complain afterward.

    Two different people in dialogue

    “So you're under my command?” “Yes, my Lady.” “Mhm. But let me ask you something. Would you pull out a man’s finger-nails on my say?” "Of course, my Lady. Torture and interrogation is my specialty. However, fingernails are a waste of time. If you want a man to talk, pull his teeth, hahaha!”...

    How often do you use or see the word "geezer"?

    you can get away with a character saying it once or twice. but I wouldn't use it often. Kind of a dated word. Yeah, if you listen to the Japanese they are typically saying "O-san" "Ojii-san" or worse "Hage! (which means bald). but basically all of these things refer to "old man" and the tone...

    Reading my recent chapter is tacky

    Try doing this trick: 1. When you finish on your Ipad, copy and paste the chapter into grammarly.com 2. Edit it in grammerly if you want. But once you paste it, RE-COPY the grammerly version and paste the grammerly version into SH. 3. Grammarly always reformats my stuff to fit perfectly in SH.

    What makes you give a story a 5-star rating?

    Noooo! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I'm done. Don't be disparaging the 90 minute action flick where Bruce has to save: his wife, daughter, and or senator from a villain with a foreign accent!

    What makes you give a story a 5-star rating?

    Exactly ^ Heck, I for real don't even believe in the star system anymore. Just like the story or don't (the same way youtube does it)

    Preferred reading?

    this seemingly obvious wisdom is what I should have know before I sank 53K words into an epic with barely any reader engagement. To a lighter hearted smut/thriller with real reader engagement.
