    Every Fanfic is Wish-Fulfillment.

    taboo fetishes are usually a hit, if you can find a place to post them without them being removed. Incest usually has the easiest time (as long as everyone is of age and consents), and as such, it gets the top spot. But general rule of thumb, supply and demand. Incest has the easiest time...

    Every Fanfic is Wish-Fulfillment.

    didn't say I was into Incest, either. But I'm a smut author. I'd be stupid to not know which fetishes are popular.

    Every Fanfic is Wish-Fulfillment.

    yes. Sadly, yes. I'm not into Boruto period, but yeah, incest is actually the most popular "taboo" fetishes.

    More short chapters or fewer long ones?

    I personally shoot for 1.5-3k twice a week. My rule of thumb is "The length of time required for a standard poop". Since I write smut, maybe a little longer if it's an NSFW scene.

    Finish the saying!

    There are some things you just can't take back, like supergluing your grandpa's shoes to the floor last thanksgiving. Life is too short. Unless you're an elf. Never bite the hand that feeds you - Instead, lick their fingers clean. Bonus for "can't take things back", my favorite quote that I...

    Looking for Advice, Easy Tools, or Help to Create a Fantasy World Map for My Webnovel!

    I use Azgaar.github.io for maps, Fantasynamegenerators.com for names, and pure imagination and hard study for anything else. edit: Also want to say that Azgaar's is entirely free, has a lot of functionality (you can change the geography, manually alter the landscape and political zones, etc...

    Disliked by strangers.

    It happens. It's possible he didn't like something you posted here on the forum, or he didn't like something about your account, etc etc. Who knows. sadly, there's nothing much you can really do, as far as I'm aware. Maybe give a high rating and add to a "favorites" list or something? Maybe see...

    What'd you get for Christmas?

    My wife got art supplies, chocolates and other sweets, a charcuterie board, and jams. My daughter got toys, books, art supplies. Me? I got stress, as our electricity went out this morning. Seriously. That's all I got. We have a battery back up which keeps us heated for about 12 hours, and...

    Flavor combinations

    animal crackers and mayo. Did that as a stoner food in high school. Surprisingly good.

    Why stories about foxes are so popular?

    one word: Smut. No, really. Ever heard the term "foxy"? It's not describing someone to be sly, sneaky, or someone that digs a lot. Nope. It's related to someone's attractiveness. Ergo, foxes are sexy. at least, furries, anthros, and foxgirls. 'nuff said.

    Expressions in real life and anime

    As someone with ADHD I spend a lot of time in daydream-land. It used to be that these daydreams would often have anime themes. Big monsters breaking through walls, me being the MC, etc. Nowadays, I daydream less often, but when I'm reading I tend to have an anime style in how I imagine the...

    Stonefist?

    Ground Pounder. Hammer fist. Razacoatl (Don't know if it actually means anything. Just based on aztec naming sounds with a hint of japanese thrown in at the beginning. Sounds like a "rock-solid" dude).

    What is the difference between writing web novels and writing in the traditional publishing style?

    there are some key differences in what's RECOMMENDED. However, just as in any other art, there are no hard and fast rules. When painting, if you want to try painting the foreground first, then by all means, try it. Just understand that, while you may like it, most generally will not. Similarly...

    Is plot armor actually that bad?

    I'm glad you brought that up! It wasn't a reference to the character in the movie, but to the IRL man! I've survived no less than 9 near-death experiences that, by all rights, should've ended my story. But by some fluke, I'm still here. Nearly been beheaded, crushed, drowned, burned, died of...

    Is plot armor actually that bad?

    I get what you're saying, but you're saying that they should build the foundation before the walls, rather than building the walls after the foundation. In both cases, the plot cannot occur as it does without the OPMC. And I'm saying exactly that. I worded it poorly, but the point remains -...

    Is plot armor actually that bad?

    They're OP because the plot needs them to be. If everyone were that powerful, they'd be normal and still in the same situation. But no. The plot requires them to be that much more powerful than others. Ergo, it's still plot armor—which I'm defining as "Intangible armor provided by—and composed...

    I have a little bit of a rude question.

    neither. I prefer cute over either of those, both of which are generally seen as different varieties of "sexy" rather than cute. And I can appreciate sexy, but it just doesn't work for me. My wife is definitely more of the "cute" variety, so I lucked out perfectly :)

    Is plot armor actually that bad?

    I always got that feeling of "He's written into a corner" When tolkien used Tom Bombadil. Always felt like he was Tolkein's in-universe stand-in. That's the issue with "Destroy the world" stakes. Where do you go from there? You need a slow ramp-up. My Mysthavia trilogy does this fairly well...

    Is plot armor actually that bad?

    just curious... What would you call it when a character survives (either unscathed or relatively unscathed) solely because the plot needs them to? In situations where countless people get major injuries or killed outright. I get that Desmond Doss was real and that the movie was his story, so...

    How did you improve your descriptive writing?

    Practice makes perfect. This doesn't mean always writing, however. Learning new descriptors is enough, and adding them to your common lexicon. I did this by describing everything in my head. How would you describe that crow in writing? Just a crow? Or is it a large, black corvid, sharpened beak...
