For different countries, I'd recommend amazon expand their policies regarding their store to their books. Ask the author what kind of content is included and have a checklist. you go through and check any that apply. then they have a notice basically stating that if you lie or omit in order to...

I understand frustration. I've been there myself. In a former life, I wrote clean, LotR-style fantasy (no smut, not romance, just adventure and action and a splash of comedy) and got MAYBE 2-3 views. 1-2 reads. 0 comments. I spent 5 years working on that daily. That is to say, 5 whole years...

I may be misunderstanding, but I think their issue is with the bugs in said automated system. It's well within our rights, as users of said system, to want said system to work as intended. That's hardly unreasonable. If I'm paying (either cash, time, or effort) to use a system that's supposed...

that moment when you start pricing book printers to say "Eff it" and start your own publishing firm. Kidding. that's even worse. It's a pain dealing with self-publishing, but that's nothing compared with dealing with the legal system, regardless of your country.

A guy in my sophomore spanish class in HS. He was supposed to read a few lines. one of the lines was "Yo tengo siete años." Now, being the "too cool for this" Type of kid, he just read it as "Yo tengo siete anos." Which our teacher prompty corrected. When he shrugged and ignored her, reading...

Most lack the talent or skill to even be considered writers. A good portion of the fanfics i've seen you can't get through the first paragraph, either due to a lack of paragraphs in general (the entire story is one long run-on paragraph) or it's so indecipherable that you need a master's in...

uh... kinda...? Like, my MC didn't break his sword, but it is just a plain spring steel arming sword. not really intended to handle the level of power that would come with a full-strength blessing of the goddess of dragons (I.e. MC is human, but grew golden wings and claws made of light). So I...

in a nutshell, steady. Basically, don't rush through slow, expository parts, but also don't take forever to slog through fast paced action. you want action to FEEL fast and times when the characters are just sitting around relaxing, chatting, and having a snack should FEEL a bit slower.

honestly, the kind that aren't airpods. It's perhaps personal taste, but I despise apple. all their products are just... awful. But setting my personal issues aside, if you can afford full price, do that. if not, be aware that you're going to end up paying half again as much (if full price is...

I pretty much just go by the quote from Field of Dreams: "If you build it, [they] will come" (the actual quote says "he", but "they" is better known.) So... write what you want. If you pander to an audience, no one will be happy because you're not writing what you want and they'll be able to...

building on these other answers... Novels excel at consumer participation. That is to say, what does the viewer contribute to the movie? nothing. what does a viewer contribute to comics or graphic novels? Voices. that's it. What do readers contribute to novels, webnovels, or other purely...

Assuming you mean my primary current world, It's somewhere between gilded and noblebright. everyone has constant looming threats, but there isn't really anything majorly, world-ending over anyone. Mostly just bandits and monsters that threaten all the everyday people.

Pride. It's the only that has no self-depreciating qualities. it's the only one that doesn't allow you to recognize it in yourself. And it's the only one that Lucifer himself showed, resulting in him falling from grace. Source: I've studied multiple bibles in depth. I, myself, am an atheist...

like my story, Two Faces. I set the options in a poll, and the readers simply vote on which they want to happen. They're predetermined, but they still have some input. Poll-operated Reader-Interactive.

It should be done minimally, but like any other rule in writing, it can be bent or broken if needed. My current run, I switch between different POVs to show what different people are doing at any given point in time. as for head hopping, Other may disagree, but I definitely do, though only...

I didn't realize Deadpool and Fightclub had a novel, Hitchhiker's guide and don quixote didn't dawn on me.

Looking for examples of 4th wall breaks done well in writing. I know more visual mediums are the norm for these (Since you can have the character literally look at the viewer), but does anyone have any examples? Links to stories, references to novels, or quotes are all welcome. BTW, I have this...

warrior fights evil demon to free the elves.

I think she was referring to the dialogue tag. "He said" type things. And example of each: "I don't know what to write," He said. She groaned, "Just write whatever's in your mind!" "Alright!" He recoiled, "Jeez, I thought you'd be kinder!" In order: End, Beginning, Middle.

At this point, my proudest plan with my current work was right at the start. Rewriting my first uploaded story, and I backset the start to when the MC was 5 years old, rather than starting it when he was in his 20s. explaining how he and the love interest (a dragon) knew each other when he was a...
