    If you were cursed with positivity...? (Poll)

    I would not survive. Negative thoughts are not just something I have, they are a part of me. I am a pessimist by nature. I always look at things in a bad light so that when things aren't as bad as I think they are, I am left with satisfaction even at a less than optimal scenario. I feel that...

    Would you allow an evil villainess to take away your sadness? (Poll)

    I would say only if it was to the point of mental illness. I feel that sadness and suffering are a necessary part of what makes us human, so to take that away would be kinda.... irresponsible. As far as the evil thing, that doesn't really effect me at all, I mean I guess I would be more...

    Would you cross-dress in a world of only one gender? (Poll)

    I mean I wouldn't because like at the end of the day, I would be fundamentally different from the people of the world so that's sorta obvious that I would get strange looks and so on and so forth. Trying to conform to society would just be ignoring the problem and pretending like everything was...

    How to protect against illegal translations

    I mean I write my story for fun in the first place, so if I found out someone was translating it- even if they were making money off of it, I would actually be kinda flattered. I certainly wouldn't be mad, because at the end of the day it means more people around the world would be reading and...

    What exactly makes a story a 'wish fulfillment' story?

    Ok so it seems obvious. A wish fulfillment story is a story in which the characters are trying to fulfill some sort of major goal or wish, but the thing that confuses me about this genre is- what story out there are the main characters not trying to fulfill their goals? I mean, if there is...

    If you've never felt like any of your characters then how could you write a character who has realistic emotions?

    Do You Ever Have Trouble Choosing an Audience?

    I have never even thought about an audience, which might be why my work is unpopular- but here is my opinion. My audience is me. I like my story, and people like me will like my story. So do I really need to target an audience in the first place? After all, if in doing so I create something...

    Low View Counts

    Well I guess I have a little story to tell here. I actually went 250 chapters of my story with very low views compared to others before I went trending. 250 chapters at around 8-9 pages per chapter. Now why did I go so far at such a low view count? I even received a couple reviews where people...

    Do you guys have any good threads on tips for world building.

    Adding onto what I said earlier, worldbuilding happens (For me at least) in stages of arcs. While I like to have a general world built up very early on, this is of course only the bare bones of the story. Any story starts at a given location. Doesn't matter if you're a 3rd person writer like...

    Do you guys have any good threads on tips for world building.

    I'll give you my own approach- whether this is something that you should follow, I won't say. So first off, when I build a world I would like to generally have at least some idea of each place. I would draw out a map, create some different landmasses, waterways, mountains, different biomes and...

    New Writer looking for help.

    I mean, what is the story about? As far as genre and tags are concerned, if it includes it then put it on there. Make sure to include all the popular tags you can without misleading readers

    Writing Face Slappers!

    Is this like some sort of hidden meaning? What is a 'face slapping' story? Is it like a literal story about people getting slapped? Or does this mean something else.

    Just Curious: What is easier to write - fanfiction, translation, or original?

    I think it really depends on the person. For someone who is fluent in 2 languages, translation would probably be the easiest, but for most people this would be the most difficult, given that you have to master both languages or do a lot of research. I am unsure about fanfiction as I have never...

    I need some encouragement

    At the end of the day, just write what you enjoy. If you don't enjoy what you write, then nobody else will. Make it fun. Make it crazy. Make it emotional. Make it whatever you want it to be. Just make it so that you're on the edge of your seat wondering 'What is gonna happen next?' Easier said...

    Suffering is Storytelling.

    Yes. Everything I do is based on suffering. Whether that suffering is solved is another issue tho.

    About Webnovel's restricting of novels (I'd delete this if not allowed in the platform)

    Thats.... odd. I think it's kinda dumb that platforms are preventing stories because they have certain characters of certain races in the first place. If this were my country there would be 10,000 lawsuits over it. But it isn't my country.
