If it's a BL harem, can't you just... encourage them to y'know, love each other?

I knew it was for rebranding, but TrashyHuman > TenderHuman would also make sense for an edibility rebrand, so I wasn't sure.

...wait, I had assumed the "Tender" in "TenderHuman" was "TenderHearted" Is it just supposed to signal you are like, very edible or something?

Tony has ultimate mod power, sure, making him the final boss... ...but to get the golden ending, you have to beat secret superboss Hans Trondheim. It turns out with his prophetic manga about forum threads, he has been manipulating us all along. Hans Trondheim has many powers, but among them...

I dunno either! I don't even know most dialects of English-- the most I could tell is the way they're talking is one I'm not used to.

Setting aside that most psychopaths don't just randomly kill people, and this sounds like a dramatic evil psychopath sort of thing rather than a realistic depiction.... It doesn't need to feel like a traditional romance, but the two should feel a connection of some kind-- even if it's just...

I read the first couple chapters, and it's not a style of talking I'm used to, so I can't judge individual characterization well. It feels like the speech style and some idioms are transcribed from another language, which isn't bad? But I don't know what 'normal' sounds like when people talk...

Awwwh thank you :blob_aww:

I think I look cute in the blood tomatobath that Monotone Puppet caused in her murderfication gentle knife donation to us all. Yay! :blob_happy:

As a reader on AO3, if you think something with tags should have an additional tag, the most effective thing you can do is leave a very polite comment... which is also the most you'd be able to do in a grocery store, really. Sometimes people just forget to include some tags, too. I know I have...

So: Gen means basically no romance for the MC and romance among secondary character isn't a big part of the plot. It's useful if you wanna find non-romance stuff. Other means that there is romance, but m/m m/f f/f etc don't apply. Like, if one of the characters is non-binary, or an ungendered...

AO3 has tags, freeform tags, even, Fanfiction.net does not-- which is a kind of huge difference IMO. Could you go into this more? I assumed AO3 was more of a tag heavy place given what I've seen, so I'd like your perspective here. .

A story where the main character obsessed over and railed at the heavens about revenge but never did anything about it and mostly spent their time gardening and basically nothing else happened would have plenty of drama, but not much of a plot. A story where the main character and her...

Why not write in a language you do know in, then? Yeah, extensive plotting drains my motivation too.

AO3 you can't advertise on at all, as a self-protection measure from them so they don't get accused of helping people profit off of fanfic. I've used it more for reading original works than fanfics, myself. They also have like, hands down, the most writer-friendly policies. I really like them...

For Hero, I do a lot of double entendres and metaphors, and sometimes references to other chapter titles, along with letting in a bit of the MC's emotional state in some of them. I try to be descriptive enough that I can usually find what I'm looking for if I want to go back and reread...

On Scribblehub I feel like it's basically a must? And yeah, very much helps when I'm like "hmm where did I write that?" I don't think it matters that much on AO3. I do this in I Was A Hero In Another World But My Dog-Girl Slave Swapped Places With Me And Now I Can’t Disobey Her.

Yeah, sidestories are nice for that. I like to use them for remixing some of the main themes of the main work, I think, so there's resonance? But at the same time suddenly dropping into a remix from nowhere can still be a bit jarring, even if it's relevant. I don't think I'd mind them if they...

There should be more MC moms whose sons die cruelly TBH Interesting, this is an angle I hadn't thought on. So even if the backstory has a good narrative arc in itself, if it isn't thematically related to the current story, it doesn't do much for you, or is it more when they don't have good...

It's basically like any other "close friendship but one side is crushing on the other or they're both crushing on each other" or "used to have close friendship but grew apart for reasons but one side is crushing on the other or they're both crushing on each other" setup. It's most unique...
