    This is promising. Will think about tweaking this one. Thanks!

    Need help with a character's mannerism

    In my story, some complication happened where my Main Character, later on, needs to hide her identity. A few years pass and she returns to a city her father used to visit quite often. One of her father's acquaintances later meets her and finds a spark of familiarity upon meeting her. He doesn't...

    Learning how to draw and do art.

    In all seriousness, https://drawabox.com is damn good. Take note though, this will take a lot of effort. Fundamentals play such a big role in drawing that learning it will be a great thing to start with. It won't hurt to check https://udemy.com if you have a bit of cash to spare. Also, never...

    Anime - Spring 2019

    If it has good music, yeah. Especially if it has the hands of Yoko Kanno all over it. From Macross Plus, to Cowboy Bebop, to Ghost in the Shell...she's got her fingerprints in a lot of my favorite stuff. The reason why she worked so well with Shinichiro Watanabe was coz they had the same love...

    Anime - Spring 2019

    Definitely psyched to see Kono Oto Tomare. It's one of my favorite mangas. Also, fruits basket. Watched the old one, read the manga, and excited to have a more faithful version of the anime so I'm excited for that one. Carole and Tuesday will be coming out too. FINALLY. From Shinichiro...

    Ratings

    So wouldn't it be interesting if there was a separate rating system that only Scrub published authors can use? If there was, I know I'd be more attracted to look at that rather than the normal rating system. But it's going to be confusing if that kind of rating system would be implemented...

    How do you name your characters?

    This made me laugh for some reason. Not in a bad way, mind you.

    How do you name your characters?

    I am stuck in a rut. Naming characters can be fun but there's a point in naming them that gets frustrating for me. Case in point, the main characters. I'm stuck with the rule: Do not name your characters with the same starting initial. The point of this is so that readers get to remember...

    Honorifics used in cultivation novels

    I think for formality's sake, yes. Nothing like 'ge' or 'da ge' though. Those are reserved for sworn brothers or people of the same sect. More like 'shixiong' or 'shidi' and the like. The thing I find common in cultivation novels is that the sects are formal to each other out of respect and decorum.

    Required minimum ratings.

    I think this is actually a good idea. Sort of like how Volare would mass release new works as an introduction to the story. Then, afterward, you can do your scheduled releases. I still hope there would be a fairer way for ratings to come about. Also, it would be great for readers to leave...

    Question about copyrighting

    Technically, what I want to ask is if anybody here has officially copyrighted their works? Was reading through the ToS of Royal Road and under copyright protections, they linked this site: http://www.copyrighted.com/ Some might find it overkill but I do know some people who have felt safer...

    Grammar?

    I second this. The more original English works you read, the better. If you're aiming for YA, read Young Adult novels. If you want YA fantasy, go for the same genre. The reason why I say that is so that you can see how they do it. I don't know with others but I have the tendency to unconsciously...

    Do you RP?

    Also, you might want to check in Novelupdates forum. There are RP stuff in that place.

    Do you RP?

    You know what would be cool? Setting up a group where you RP based on your character and post your moments as a chapter in SH. That would take a lot of planning on how it's done though.

    Do you ever share your ideas to other people?

    I came across a question similar to this one and it was asked by a person who couldn't understand why anybody would be hesitant talking about their ideas from their novel(s) to other people. For me, it's simple. Bad experience. Basically, it was like this for me: I told someone an idea I had...

    What would our fandom name be?

    I also thought Scrub would make sense. SCRibble hUB. That being said, we be Scrubbers?

    Does SH have reddit?

    As the title says, do we have reddit for this site? I'm very new to reddit so I'm not entirely sure what one can do there.

    Grant permissions for people to view and edit unpublished novels

    All I have to say is have a little patience. Tony is probably busy so any changes can't be implemented that quickly. What you're describing does sound like it would take some adjustments for Tony and it might not be a fast fix. I wouldn't know but, like I said, be patient. It also probably helps...

    Asian sounding name generator

    ~ Well, I'm not in a hurry since it's for the second book I'm outlining and I'm still ironing out book 1. However, even though I say that, I need names for my characters in Book 2 hence my need now for a source for names. Though I'm not worrying about it at the moment, I am actively looking for...

    How do you make a likeable romantic interest?

    For me, shippable couples are those who compliment each other. Couples who help each other during their weakest. Of course, a way to ship them is give them their cute moments.
