    Binge or read on release?

    I like to binge read but after a while I eventually would like to be caught up to a story, so when I start a new series I would prefer for quite a bit to have been released, but I also don't mind catching up and then reading on release.

    Potential Prologue

    Sure, I'll just copy and paste it. I will probably edit it a bit to make it more like a prologue but here it is: The moon rose high into the sky, creating a faint yet prominent light that illuminated the ghoulish pathways of the village. The sounds of celebration, the clinking of drinks...

    Potential Prologue

    So I was editing one of my chapters today and at a certain point I wrote an arc that was like not focused on my mcs at all, and after I finally got back to them after a long time I wrote this entire 900 word description of them as they just walked through the town they created which I personally...

    Looking for Artist (Resolved) Heroine Artwork Request (No Pay)

    I mean, I write my novel for free because I find it to be fun to write. Is it really all that hard to imagine that an artist might want to draw for fun? I'm no artist so I wouldn't know. Maybe every single artist out there is just doing it as a career and there exist no people who do it...

    Writing Which is your favourite POV and why???

    Well, while I think that first person has it's own unique benefit of being able to show the thoughts of a character as you follow them around through their journey, I would have to say that third person is the master race of POV. It's simple really. In third person you can say things that you...

    Agree Or No?

    I mean, yeah. I agree that it's a dick move. Of course, it's his choice- but I would never even consider doing that to the people who actually enjoy my novel. The fact of the matter is, if you're one of my readers and enjoy my work, I owe you for giving me and my work the time of day. I believe...

    Writing How do you all write so much???

    Yeah uh I don't really know how this is gonna go once I'm back in college. Right now I'm on summer so I am cranking out the novel like it's an addiction.

    Writing Prompt bringing peace to the world by becoming the ultimate villain

    The plot right here- Bringing peace to the world by becoming the ultimate villain could not be a better description for my own novel. My main characters are evil. They are willing to do horrible things. They view those who they have accepted into their flock as priceless and irreplaceable as...

    What do you listen to when writing?

    I listen to all types of music but mostly instrumental. From baroque to steampunk, from dark insanity music to epic orchestral, etc.

    Is this something that I should expect? Question regarding reader retention

    Pretty sure those stats are better than my current ones and my story is at 400k words with daily uploads

    Film Script?

    Sometimes I feel like my story is just a film script with the vast amount of dialogue all in a row. I have this bad habit of having either 100% narration or 100% dialogue all the time when I write.

    What is your Gem of a novel on this site ?

    My answer to this thread is kinda.... irrelevant? Since I only write one novel (Technically I have written a total of 2 novels in my life, but the first one was a failure that ended suddenly), but I do feel like I have a response to this, since my current novel is split into Volumes. My 8th...

    Need some tips from pro writers or editors :)

    I wouldn't call myself a professional by any means, but I use the straight quotations for dialogue, and I use single quotes for thinking. Ex: Dialogue: "Hello. How are you doing?" Thinking: 'What is he doing?' As for that second question, I actually do both depending on the flow. I would say I...

    Any insecurities you authors have about your novels?

    Yes. Everything. As all authors are. I would say that among authors, I have less insecurities than most because I am doing what I enjoy as opposed to what others want, but I am insecure about a lot of things. 1. My overall writing flow. I understand that I am not a genius when it comes to...

    What's the Appeal of Cultivation, Wuxia, and LitRPG stories?

    I mean as far as I see it, LitRPG is kinda like playing DnD but reading. The characters explore. They have set abilities, inventory items that can be used, enemies to defeat, spells, potions, classes, etc. They encounter certain events and characters, and so on and so forth. The appeal is...

    Name spelling help.

    I mean I can see both of those names being a name for either a male or a female, but I think they both seem more masculine than feminine. So, do what you want.

    The Publish Cringe

    I've accepted the fact that at the end of the day, I am not a published author. I am a webnovel writer. What does this really mean? It's not the case that I don't work hard on my writing. I do. I put a lot of thought into a lot of things in my stories, and I do my best to make it...

    Unpopular opinion on harems

    So, I have an unpopular opinion. I hate harems. The way I see it, there are a few different ways that harems can play out. 1. The main character is completely and absurdly dense, to the point where all the women in the harem fall in love with him only for him to be like 'Love? What is that...

    To-Read Lists

    I never assume that any of my 'readers' read my story anyways so... Who knows? Maybe nobody is reading it. But that's fine, because at least I am. If a single person enjoys it, then that's fine by me. Oh hey, I am a single person. Great. If there happen to be more, even better.
