3rd limited with head hoping, do you mean when the narrator suddenly gets interupted by the protagonist's thoughts? That's called Free Indirect Speech, if so. It's by far my favourite.

It's also a subreddit for trans people who figure themselves later in life.

The emotion readers should feel towards the "Yamchas" in my story range from pity to support, depending where they fall. Some of them certainly could use hugs.

I think by definition, you can't really avoid the "right place, right time" feeling that you get from most stories and their protagonist. Unless it's an interactive novel, or a videogame with non-linear storyline, the characters will always be there at the right time. Or at least the time the...

I recently realised by checking my post history, it looks like I never introduced myself on this forum? Hi! I'm Cloé, but most of my friends call me Clo. What is there to say... Let's start with this: I'm been reading stories from serialised fiction websites such as this one for over two...

Be unapologetically you in your writing. You voice matters, and is uniquely yours. So don't try to neuter yourself to write in ways that have the broadest appeal, as that's a fool's errand. Aim to please everyone, and you will make a soulless work that pleases nobody. The decades-old anime...

Hello my distant sibling from France. I am of the weirder, Canadian brand of French! I love learning new things. So I always love stories set in other parts of the world. One story I read recentlty, (Be A Girl) is set in Australia, so Winter is in June, and Summer when it's Christmas, and the...

Regret implies I could have known or done something about it, but didn't. So biggest regret? Getting a college computer science degree instead of University one, and joining the game industry as a designer instead of engineer/programmer. But if that offer for time machine still stands? I'd...

Ah, I am so used to people getting angry when authors take stab on Christianity, it hadn't even occured to me some parts of the world would actually celebrate it. In any case, time will tell.

Maybe State of the Art is so small I am flying under the radar, but.. Full disclaimer: I am catholic by upbringing, but I really don't do much about it anymore. No church going or anything. But I still think it shaped my views of the world and my values, so I still consider myself one. My...

I need to bookmark this thread. Or print, or keep a local copy. As an English second-language speaker, I knew a lot of those rules, but not their names. Being able to name something helps when you are trying to learn or talk about it. Thanks for the post!

It's the same story I post here and have in my sig. But the recent review I got over there can be seen if you follow This link.

Honestly, having writen a LGBTQ-heavy story featuring 4 trans protagonist, and met only positive reviews so far on RR. So I'm actually a bit surprised, as the reputation I had heard of made me feel like RR would chew and spit me out. That said, they do comment, review and rate far less over...

or alternatively When Sirens Call

I have clicked. And read the whole thing. I suppose it won't make you jump for joy, but... Your story might spare others (such as me) from eatin moldy peppers. So thank you for taking the hit for the team. You have done an admirable job as the front-line tank. '-'> Now it's time to let your...

Tony was another world? :o Well, I'm curious now. 1) Why past tense? 2) What is he now, since it's no longer the case? So many mysterise, in only three words.

"For my 100 or so readers, you can keep reading the story on RR. See you over there, hopefully!"

You can probably workshop ideas around the concept of Siren-Called characters. "Wailbound" for example, still makes you think they have be brought here forcefully via some form of sound. There are probably softer variants you can use it, and the Pied Piper's melody can be an inspiration...

I picked Director's Accomplice without really looking up what they do, but, as a general rule, I don't think I am better at any of the things needed to make a movie or manga than professionals in this field, so I would likely not want to force my exact dialogue, shots, episode structure.. All...

Hmm. If I have to pick a single one? Witch Hunt by joobie.
