    My story got stolen by an aggregator audiobook site

    definitely. IT's one of those things where you kinda wanna say that it has been and you succeeded in taking it down, but at the same time, you don't wanna deal with the crapshow it can potentially turn into.

    Other people who participate in the Nanowrimo?

    unless they changed it, I don't believe smut is allowed. That's the primary reason I don't participate. Aside from that, I do it year-round. So setting a goal that's lower than my normal monthly average sounds... boring.

    I feel like I am getting targeted??

    if they give a low rating and no explanation, all you can assume is that your story isn't to their liking. Royal road tends to expect professional quality novels that fit a content checklist perfectly for free. Here, people seem to realize and acknowledge where they are - a free site filled with...

    Feedback on a short 4 chapter set in my one-shots?

    Hey all. So, I would like some feedback on my witch quadrilogy. It is smut, so beware of that. I'm mostly curious about the flow and how it ends. That said, it was primarily a writing exercise for me to hone my skills and try a new setting, characters, and style. So take that into account. But...

    Chapter 1000!

    I don't have 1000 chapters between all my stories! That said, I have 2 with potential, provided I can keep it going and keep it interesting. but the further one is only on chapter 20-ish, so I'm majorly jealous!! Way to go!

    My story got stolen by an aggregator audiobook site

    I've been considering trying my hand at horror. Writing a story then reading it as an audiobook to post over some crappy AI art on youtube. kinda lika that Hy-fy channel, but horror based. bigger story? More readers? Luck? Maybe the threshhold for smut to be stolen is higher than other stories...

    My story got stolen by an aggregator audiobook site

    I see people posting here about their stories being scraped and posted elsewhere like this. I always search for mine (just in case) and it's always a mix of "Yay, mine hasn't been stolen!" and "Damn, i'm not big enough to have been stolen..."

    Y'all remember street writer...Would you do another one.

    street writer? writing while sitting next to a road? Writing exerpts from your story as graffiti (with property owner permission, of course)?

    Place where you take pictures?

    you mean a dedicated set? That's a studio. If you mean a pop-up (like in walmart, cabela's, etc), they're usually referred to as a stage, booth, set, etc.

    Writing How to torture?

    Erection - Glass tube up erection. When he goes soft, the tube breaks. then, every movement and every time he pees, they move and it refreshes the hell he's going through. tie him to a bed with a hole cut in it. plant bamboo under the hole. certain breeds can grow 2-3 inches per day. so in 5...

    much appreciated! I'll check it out!

    Writing Happy-sad endings?

    hmm... that's a good point. maybe it only felt bittersweet to me because I used a scene transition between their wedding and their final night. He carried her, in her wedding dress, across the threshold into their home -Scene break- he's carrying her across the threshold 80 years into a happily...

    (Venting) I kinda feel disappointed in humanity right now

    oh, for sure. It allowed idiots to back idiots. and worse, idiots encourage children who otherwise wouldn't have. That said, it could also be said to be speeding up natural selection. those of us intelligent enough to not be morons are bound to live longer, happier lives.

    Writing Happy-sad endings?

    it fits. It was always intended that he'd have to be the one to end her life to end her immortality. But most of my stories end happily, so having one that ends on a sad or bittersweet note is a bit different from my normal.

    Writing Happy-sad endings?

    Well, I'll see how it goes when it goes live tomorrow. I have another one going live today, so I didn't want to rob my main story of readers by launching a side story's chapter ahead of it. And I'll have to check that one out.

    Writing Happy-sad endings?

    not much foreshadowing was done. Chapters 1 was mostly present, 2 and 3 was mostly showing their history through the lens of their modern relationship, but 2 hinted at him being the one that could "release" her from her curse. and now 4 is wrapping it up.

    Writing Happy-sad endings?

    I haven't actually seen those lol. I've seen a couple episodes from Clannad, but that's it. I'd liken mine more to Angel Beats, however. If it had ended with a romeo-juliet-esque double murder. (i know the play was a double S-cide, but still).

    I'll just say this: Jackass exists. stupidity and toxicity isn't new. it's been around for eons.
