It's entirely optional. I do simply because it's a minor issue for me but can make a difference to my readers, plus my chapters marked NSFW tend to get more views than those that aren't. Additionally, I have found that by having individual chapters marked as R-18+/NSFW, I seem to get more...

anything that references the real world outside the novel would be easy to do, but insanely difficult to do WELL. Deadpool is a prime example of it done well, but novels are completely different. You can't just have the character physically turn to look at the camera/viewer, as there is no...

casting fireball is homicide in the first degree. overhealing would be accidental manslaughter. "Your honor, I was unaware that healing him too much could prove fatal."

and the reasons people usually give for having children aren't because they want to spend their money. it's because they're ready to appropriately raise one. in other words, they held off having a kid until they could properly sacrifice for it.

Having a family - i.e. getting married, having children, etc, is done ENTIRELY for the sake of the children, generally. so the children can grow, live, and such. You literally create spawn in order to spend all your money on them. That said, I did say it was okay to not. 1, because if you have...

^ this. It's selfish to not get married. But that's okay. It's perfectly fine to be selfish as long as it's not harming anyone else. And by not getting married, you're actively not hurting someone. If you don't want to be married but you get married anyway, it's only going to cause pain. My...

As Xcalibur said, read the rules and follow them. also, be aware that Patreon likes to control not just whats on their site, but anything linked, however remotely, to or from their site. If you have a story here that would violate their rules, they could still shut down your page. This is why a...

there are a few that I wish the authors had done that with... an OC RWBY Fanfic over on Wattpad for one. Then there's a VN that I liked but likely won't be finished because the creator went to prison (unrelated charges, from what I've heard). that one sucks because it had an amazing storyline...

I usually use the same excuse I do for food: Convergent naming. That is, different myths that have some of the same details, but are largely different. The Olympus in your story need not be the same Olympus from greek myths, just as the one in Disney is different from the greek myths. I've used...

I was rushing when I was getting my profile set up! :blobrofl: I've been trying to create something I can use that looks more manly, but they all either turn out as buff furries or women (since that's what my readers tend to like). plus, most of the art is r18, and I can't use hat for the pfp.

It's a custom art. A male angel inspired by Ghibli art style. But my alias here is John Owl, so...

Mama? I'm a guy lol. But as soon as I find it, I'll gladly share it. so far, I've only discovered "Decide if you'd rather have fame or a story you are proud of. If you want fame, follow the trends. if you want to be proud, write your own will."

I usually break it down into horror and terror. horror is fear of whats in front of you. That is to say, a tangible force that's out to get you. Saw, Texas chainsaw, etc. Terror would be fear of the unknown. That is to say, more paranormal or psychological horror. Smile, Exorcist, annabelle...

I haven't read anyone telling you not to bother or to give up. If you read between the lines and find that message, that's on you. I've read everyone trying to be supportive and you shooting them down with hatred and anger and derisive sarcasm. that said, I'm done. You're obviously not willing...

To be fair, we ARE trying to be helpful and you just meet it with venom and vitriol. That's not on us. We're generally a rather kind and caring community, as we all share the same pitfalls and struggles. that said, most of us aren't accepting of people that treat these forums like reddit...

then it sounds to me like you have your answer. You want it a fanfic, so you're stuck with the venn diagram. your audience are the few that sit in the small common ground between "Likes ranma 1/2", "Likes fanfics", and "Likes [author]'s style". if you can't give up at least one fo those, your...

So far, my only international dealings have been on here. A surprising number of my readers are international, so it's been interesting hearing different perspectives on the matter.

I agree, it would have drawbacks. But it would provide some protection for all parties involved AND still allow you to remain free to use for your local market. Heck, they could even allow countries the option. "You can join this free to use market, but lose the ability to sue us or the author...

Which is why I added in the edit that Amazon could choose to host you only in your own country until you pay them to provide someone from their services to check through the content and ensure it's legal. That said, another option would be for the country to ban you, Amazon to fine you and...

makes sense. but my point was more to the hosting only whats allowed where it's allowed. I've seen items on their store that are illegal in other countries. If they can host, say, brokeback mountain as a physical DVD for sale in the US but not show it in Saudi Arabia, why can't they host the...
