    [Vent] For Authors who just need a moment to let it all out

    I should consider myself blessed. I am writing something that I was sure would spark polarised and vitriolic reactions. - A VRMMO LitRPG where the half the story takes place outside of the game? - A GameLit story where more chapters are spent crafting than fighting? - A novel series with 4...

    Why did you create your stories? And what motivates you to continue?

    As a neurodivergent person, I feel like my voice isn't represented enough in stories, on TV or otherwise. I also think many stories don't focus on the things that matter to me. They often deal with external threat -- archdemon lord, evil queens, etc. I also love slow-burns, character-focused...

    Do you monetize your writing ?

    I only plan to start asking for money once my 5 book series is done. And I will do that by telling people to buy the ebook, physical or potentially audiobooks (assuming I think the cost is going to be recoup'd) I post online for free as a way to repay to this community all the content I have...

    Happy end? Or just lazy writing?

    No matter how awful and tragic the journey in my books may be, I can only end on a positive note. Goddess knows the world can use more optimism. And as a writer? I can be the change I want to see(read)

    Would like some thoughts on my prologue

    UK vs US English debate, likely. But Merriam-Webster has this to say: The past participal from or stride is stridden. Strode is an acceptable but less common form. Strid is an even less common form, archaic now. It is never strided, no matter what, however.

    Your First Order As An Isekai God, What Will You Change Or Do?.

    "Alright, so we're nearly done here. You've got your skills, the explanation of why you died and came back to life. All that good stuff. But one last thing before you go! Would you like to upgrade to the Reborn as a catgirl package? It's free, but you have to chose now, and commit to it. No...

    Shoutout swaps?

    I have seen it occasionally done here. People put an author's note at the top, and talk about a friend's story they recommend. It's less common than over there, yes.

    What are the tips for earning comments and reviews?

    Or you can just be lucky. I am far from super popular (I do have over ten thousand views), but I have 2~3 super fans who comment on all chapters.

    Uninstalled Marvel Rivals today

    I am still so mad the USA version of Project Justice doesn't include the character creator. Still, fantastic game. And no, I shall not retire my Dreamcast, or Saturn for that matter.

    Concept Discussion: Big Space Guns in Fantasy Settings

    Utawarerumono is basically this. First game is fine, and when the mecha start showing up, it doesn't feel too out of place, but a bit. But then the sequel, mask of truth, deception, etc? Holy heck, they do a far better job using that high-tech past. But generally? I want to say Vision of...

    Any tips on how to get more readers on scribbles?

    It's not a magic bullet, though. Gotta write the right type of gender bender, too!

    Is a golem a robot?

    Dictionary definition of Robot: "A machine resembling a human being and able to replicate certain human movements and functions automatically." A golem isn't a machine. But it resembles a human (often), and able to replicate certain human movements (yes), and functions somewhat automatically...

    Share your Novel Covers!

    I am so amused that your favourite character for each book is tied to the the same: the novel's definite crowd favourite -- Jason, playing the mage Vaelith, and her patron goddess Luxoria, goddess of radiance and compassion.. He's very handsome, isn't he? But the deadeye stare just speaks...

    [Closed for now!<3]

    Thanks for reading! It saddens me the genre isn't to your liking, as I was eager to hear your feedback as the story went on and your perception of the characters evolved with them. Thank you once again for the feedback and comments! I knew going in that my story would not be for everyone, and I...

    [Closed] Easy Going Feedback thread

    It's certainly a slow-burn and not for everyone! Thanks for reading it that far! Ryan's certainly something...!

    Muh business model.

    As far as I know, if you want Kindle Unlimited, which gives users who pay for KU access to your book (great for discovery), you HAVE to give Amazon exclusive distribution. If you are not intested in KU, still want Amazon distribution, and don't want to stub out of sites like SH or RR, you...

    What are the most popular genres and tropes here on SH?

    From my random writer and reader perspective? It's pretty varied. Genderbender is by far the lion's share of what I read here. I came here following writers of that genre as they migrated away from where I used to read those stories. The fact smut is allowed means people will often talk about...
