    Fiverr gig, how can I increase my gig's impression rate and click rate

    Ads, mostly. The forums have less engagement than the reading section of the site. But really, the best way is ads. Instagram ads are kinda cheap for some pretty hefty impressions, I'd recommend ads on large social media platforms in general

    Hidden Meanings

    Well you say that its just what stuck, but a good literary analyzer will dig down deep and try to figure out why those names stuck for you specifically, and try to use your background as an individual to find the answer! So it's all 100% just "idk but heres my fan theory" and I love that! Like...

    Hidden Meanings

    Assigning meaning to something that might've not had an intended meaning is all English majors ever do. Thats like, what literary analysis is. I've heard tons of academics say that "the author didn't know what they wrote, and their opinion doesn't matter." I'd say its even the general...

    Hot takes. They hot or not?

    Go one step further. Carrots belong on pizza, and mango tastes like pineapple Two terrible takes in one paragraph is hard to accomplish, congrats. Expecting perfect grammar in conversational English is absurd.

    What's your main character's biggest flaw?

    You're right on all accounts but also I think I might start calling myself a competence porn writer ?

    Children and death

    I mean I don't see why the most gruesome death for a child would be different for an adult tbh Though for children specifically, not much would disturb a reader more than sexual violence. You run the risk of going too far with that though, and you'll get people asking what in the world is wrong...

    But, one of the points of this chapter is to show that she treats different men very differently, so thats out of the question

    I've seen some writers gloss over dialogue before in ways I really like, Farewell To Arms does it sometimes with the mc's nurse girlfriend. He'll say something like "They talked of nothing and everything all night, too engrossed in each other rather than in the words they spoke." But I assume...

    Manga/Mahwa/Manhua And Webnovel Cliches I Despise.

    Dense protagonists are awful, makes me want to fill my head with cement. How is anyone even close to being that dumb half the time

    So true, it's a huge party and there's so many characters and so much drama ? The mc is totally alone most of the book, so this is def my biggest hill

    I've already cut chapter 3 in half because it was twice as long as the chapters before it, but now that I'm editing it I might have to do it again. Sooo much happening at this ball, and I'm positive this is going to be the most dialogue heavy section of the whole book. Big props to people who...

    On naming the main character/point of view characters

    I don't really mind seeing my name written, though it depends on what I'm reading. Finished a steamy gay romance recently that had another Jocelyn, and it really made it hard to ignore :blob_cringe: All the names in all of my stories are just regular joe shmoe folks though, stuff like...

    Guess my age(psudo-world)

    I've reread this like twenty times, and unless the answer is some fantasy or sci-fi thing I could never guess, the closest thing I could think of is a mushroom or an endolith. Both evolve over a very long time and can break down rocks, the oldest mushroom is like 2,500 and endolith bacteria can...

    I want to use the lines "I shall sue you to Heaven, before I send you to Hell" and "What is a jester without an audience, but a fool before himself and God?" but I'm having trouble finding a place for them. I think they're nice so I'll shoehorn them in regardless

    What's your main character's biggest flaw?

    Oh that's fair lol I just remember a quote from some screenplay writer that went you can't have a movie unless your characters are kind of stupid and I liked it

    What's your main character's biggest flaw?

    She's reactionary. Elizabeth would rather lash out in violent protest than find a rational solution, though I guess that's most characters huh?
