I think I would be happy if people decided to write fan fiction in my book's universe, but I'd strongly push any fan fiction writer towards making OCs. If they don't awk, and write smut about a couple they ship? I can't stop them.

I literally have no magic tips I can give you, but I suppose I can encourage you to keep at it, and to have faith it might be your turn some day. I won't disagree with working hard for the last year, but I think there's some element of luck involved too!

I don't know how that happened, but I'm blown away! So yeah, please enjoy some freshly-baked Raspberry Swirls, courtesy of the dracan mage, Vaelith. That's it, that's the thread. We can all return to typing words and skip sleep. (or is that just me?)

Context makes me think of the theory of foreground/background in litterature. Context is everything surrounding the character. The lore, their past, the political climate and situation, the magic and technology level, the year. Context can be spelled out, or it can be derived from—well, from...

SH readers are far more interactive. In my current main series, I have released a chapter recently that got many comments.... 40 on SH. This came out on Friday, so it's like 5 days old. This is by far the chapter with the most comments I have. And it's the 89th releases chapter, so these are all...

I work in game development. I usually write from 7pm to 2am. Two days a week I edit chapters so they're good to be scheduled, One day a week I take a break and write my sillier LitRPG story. Out of the four remaining ones, I spend 1 or 2 evening hammering out new chapters. The rest is used up...

Your art is super cute! I am old-school, so I really like the high-contrast colour style of 80s and 90s anime. You can see the art I drew for my covers in my signature. So here's at least one other person using anime art '-'/

Using action beats instead of dialogue tag is recommended. Changing paragraph when the speaker changes is another common way to avoid tagging everything. Emoticons in dialogue works if your characters are texting. Personally, I break tons of common rules, but I tend to follow my own super...

I listen to a lot of different things. Music with no lyrics, like epic trailer music or videogame music, Music from singers or bands I like, which ranges a lot: from Orbital, Prodigy, Muse, Garbage to Nena, Paramore, Grumpster, Aimée Carty... AI generated theme songs for my story/characters...

These days, those are the same thing. xD

A cintiq monitor, Photoshop, OBS for streaming it, and Amazon Music to keep me entertained. Then google or my phone camera for reference material

I draw my own covers. Not because I'm great at it, but because commissions can be expensive.

Oh, I didn't know about Leo. I haven't touched Tekken since the playstation2. But seeing them use Baji Quan in their reveal trailer made me so happy, so thanks for letting me know.

Baji Quan! I love that style, and it gets far too little representation outside of Virtua Fighter (Akira), Dead or Alive (Kokoro) and the 2013 movie The Grandmaster. The martial artist character in my main series uses that style. Full body tackles and explosive elbow strikes for the win. As...

Nivi just wants to survive. And to survive in the jungle, she definitely cannot stay as weak as she is. Instead of growing stronger and betfer than everyone else, she'd love to find a place where she belongs, but she doubts she will.

What if you made an isekai gender-bender protagonist, but made him a catgirl with mimicry powers and also absorbed the essence of the enemies she defeated to grow even stronger?

I want to gush for a moment about Nivi, the protagonist of my new side-story. She’s not hero material. She’s not a chosen one. She’s a reincarnated teenager from Earth—carrying fragments of knowledge from our world, but no real memories of who she was or what kind of life she lived. All she...

In my main series, they're in a game. Magic isn't explained. It's a thing some classes can do. When they leave the game, things that happened is... more or less explained scientifically. In other words, any "magic" happening outside of the game tries to have some nugget of believability. "Ah...

My main novel is set in a near future Earth. Some of them were born in 2002. So I guess they just time travelled back to when they were 23? Maybe they'll tell their younger selves to transition. One of them was 11, and the other 6. For one of them, this is the year they fathered their elder...

I asked GPT to analyse my writing style between two texts. It said "most likely written by AI." to a story I didn't even use spellcheck on. And "Unlikely to be written with AI" on the one I fixed up using ProWritingAid. Essentially, track record of 0% accuracy so far.
