    Writing Can't think of anything

    Umm, not sure if this will help, but... The number one thing that makes me want to write and think up ideas is to read the most cliche stories you could ever find (I mean MULTIPLE) in a genre you like reading/writing until you go NO!!!! WHY!!!! UGH NO DO THIS INSTEAAAD and then start writing...

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

    Ahem ahem, as someone who is bilingual and have done translations, fanfics, and original works-- Translations were easiest, and actually really satisfying since I don't have to think about where things are going (the original author did all that, so all I gotta do is focus on making the words...

    Webtoons Vs Mangas: Pros And Cons

    If I was given a story and it could be told in either manga form or webtoon form... Hmm, depends on the story, but I guess for now webtoons? I like to view my manga and webtoons on the downtime when going somewhere. Webtoons were basically made for viewing on mobile, so I slightly prefer...

    Do you build your world around the story or the story around the world?

    I think it really depends! One time I built this super elaborate world precisely because I wanted to make a super elaborate world, and while building it I almost naturally came up with plot points that I connected into a story. The pro of this is that it makes for some good use of the world...

    Books with amazing writing style

    okay I'm cliche and I know it but Jane Austen has one of my most favorite writing styles :blobtaco: lengthy and long and downright run-on sentences but that Regency England feel man Pride and Prejudice or Emma's a good starting point; the first one's kinda known all over the place (DESERVEDLY...

    Any good books to read?

    I'm probably going to be recommending this until the day I die but FANTASIA is super cool, side of fluffy romance and quite the story!! It's already pretty famous (I think) but honestly deserves more :D https://www.scribblehub.com/series/15439/fantasia/

    Writing Prompt Owl

    The Guardian of the Forest rustled its feathers in the quiet of the night. The Forest was dark, but the Boulder glowed dimly, pulsing light into the cleared area. The Guardian had not seen a single being for long-- too long that days overlapped weeks until he no longer knew how old he was...

    Recommendations Your works?

    Tired of all the run-of-the-mill villainesses and heroines reincarnated into otome games and whatnot? Try checking out the author's brainchild that emerged from such exhaustion of the cliche plotlines, where the protagonist is NOT the reincarnator and the author (me) loves making fun of all the...

    Asking for guidance

    Honestly, writing is not supposed to be anything. It just is, once you write it. The advice you saw, in my humble opinion, is good advice because it (1) makes you feel less pressured that what you write has to be perfect and beautiful just the way you saw it. It isn't a rule that you shouldn't...

    What inspire fanfics?

    ships. it's the ships. it's their chemistry. It can also be other relationships that you just love the chemistry of but lack canon for. Also, it's a lot easier to write about two established characters in an established world for a shorter story that is sort of allowed to be more cliche because...

    Dreams and Nightmares. Let's Share!

    yo back in high school I first learned that you can check if you're dreaming by 1) looking at a time/clock, looking away, then looking at it again (the time will have changed because no consistency in dreams) and 2) counting your fingers (it will not count normally; you'll have more than five...
