    Tips for writing fantasy

    It doesn't necessarily mean it has magic and the like. What I can say about writing it is, you have to know your mythos like the back of your hand. For the reader, they know nothing about this world so their doorway to this is the author. Write it in a way that it doesn't overwhelm your readers...

    A question: Have you ever build a character inspired by close friend?

    Duuuuude. I make my friends into villains in my stories and they love it. That being said, I don't think it's bad for you to write a character based on someone. If it bothers you, tell them. Usually, I don't really since I don't copy them completely. I get bits and pieces from my friends and...

    Villianous daughter of the Duke, needs a hero

    Stories in this site are original stories. NU novels are written in a different language (Asian demographic) then translated to English whereas novels here are written in English already. No reason for it to be listed in NU. Unless you're talking about that small section in NU that advertises...

    Problem with a book cover in SH

    I already asked for this entry to be deleted since it has been resolved. I PMd the author about it and he/she already replied. That's how bothered I was about it.

    How to write sad event?

    Why do you end up deleting it? Don't write a sad event though if it doesn't really do anything for the story. Also, be careful in writing a sad event because you, as the author, might feel that it's sad but your readers might not have the same feeling. I don't know about the others here but One...

    Problem with a book cover in SH

    https://www.scribblehub.com/series/25043/my-goal-living-eternally-as-a-loli-surrounded-by-my-women/ Never read the story or don't particularly like the genre but it disturbs me greatly that the book cover is a real picture of a little girl. The fact that the book has sexual content just ups my...

    Auto-save your Writing!

    This is pretty dangerous practice (not life-threatening but dangerous in a sense coz mobile browsers are unreliable). You're living on the edge by writing directly to SH. If you're writing on your mobile, why not find an app like jotterpad or something like it. Paid for my jotterpad to have it...

    Chapter titles... What is your opinion?

    For the sake of consistency, if you name one, name them all. I get pissed when it's not. That's just me but I rather they don't name them at all if they won't bother with other chapters.

    Continuing another author's novel.

    This is not reason enough to write a continuation of a story that wasn't originally from your own mind. I get that you feel inspired and motivated but it's not your story. Ask permission. It's what's right and proper. If he doesn't answer, take it as a no and leave it at that. Then, maybe write...

    Zoom In on Book Cover

    Is it just me who wants to see a bigger version of the book covers in SH? It would be nice to have a zoom in feature.

    Where do you get your art for book covers?

    I do use both but I'm not about to just grab interesting pics I see. A lot of those pics have been grabbed from somewhere else (talking about Pinterest here) and I don't think it's just right to use artwork or photograph that isn't mine. True you can ask permission but sometimes that takes too long.

    Where do you get your art for book covers?

    When I'm talking about art, I mean free stuff. Not owned by someone else. Open-sourced art. Stuff you can use as a background to your book covers? Does anybody here have sources for that?

    I forgot the name, pls help

    There's a forum section named Looking for for times like this. Next time, it would be better to write something like this there.

    Writing Livestream Poll

    It sounds interesting but not something I'd be willing to go through while writing. I sometimes speak out the words I write down and it could be distracting if I keep on wondering if people watching would have questions and whatnot. In the first place, I have a short attention span so I would...

    Polarized

    I used to not outline but, later on, I feel like I just cheated myself and didn't do my story and my characters justice by not putting a lot of things into consideration. Now, I'm going through my story by first writing my fabula, writing brief descriptions of my characters and their motivations...

    Need help with a character's mannerism

    Ok, I'm seeing a lot of face touching, hair swirling, fingers tapping, and honestly, those aren't really something you'll notice on someone since it's so common. I guess as a brief context, it's been almost a decade. While she was gone, she's been under the tutelage of a strict but eccentric...
