    Formatting problem. Please Help.

    lol it's a representation of you. like the Mona Lisa. She may be the MC of the painting, but the painting as a whole, her included, is a representation of the artist.

    Formatting problem. Please Help.

    what really matters most is that you, the author, are content with how it looks. yes, readers are nice. but in the end, you can't effectively write if you aren't motivated. and you won't be motivated if you aren't happy with the result. in the end, writing is art. this means both the words used...

    Formatting problem. Please Help.

    It's entirely your call. I'd recommend using spaces for indents. The rule of thumb is 5-7 per TAB press (is pressing TAB gives an indent, pressing SPACE 5-7 times gives the same indent). But there is one thing you should consider: IF you want a book-like experience, epub or PDF is a better...

    Formatting problem. Please Help.

    I can't really speak for others, but I write on laptop and read on my phone. as @greyliliy said, on mobile, block text is easier for reading. I've also heard that SH was originally formatted for mobile, though I'm uncertain of the truth behind this.

    Writing If I were to write a novel do you want ME to write it in 3rd or 1st person. specifically ME, what do you want ME to DO?

    done. check out Two Faces in my sig. shameless self-plug aside, I commonly write all three. what i like to read, however, tends to be 3rd limited.

    Which fantasy creature would you like to eat?

    I have 3. 1, Dragon. Contrary to your points, i've wanted to ever since I watched MaidDragon. 2, Unicorn. I've had horse and it wasn't too terrible, so I can only imagine a magic horse would be even better. 3, Quetzalcoatl. I seriously want to try a magical bird drumstick.

    Writing pictures in chapters

    I usually use imgur or pixiv for hosting. can pinterest be set to private so it can't be seen without the link to send to it directly?

    Writing pictures in chapters

    Hey all, I'm back again. so i have 2 questions. 1, are pictures allowed to be included in chapters? i mean character art. and 2, if they are, what are the content guidelines for it? i don't plan to include any pornographic images, but I'd like to include character art at the end of my...

    As an author, have you ever experienced this?

    a few times. Usually when that happens, I move onto the next work while I plan where it went wrong and what to do better. Then I go back and rewrite it. I'm currently rewriting my very first posted story, Lay the Dragon (thus my current work is v2 down V there in my sig).

    What was your first OC for a story?

    I don't have a picture of him, but my very first OC was a wolf named, well, Wolfe. it was a story I did back in high school some 15 years ago. He left his pack because the leader was becoming corrupt by an evil aura that permeated the land, becoming more humanoid. Yeah, it was an anti-furry...

    Your favorite line from your current work?

    As much or as little context as you wish (the exception being posting the whole chapter, obviously). I'll start: My MC was reckless in attacking a swarm of low-level beasts. His partner/master chastised him. She left off with this gem: "You wield your sword like an artist with his brush. But...

    Writing Writing in 2nd person is kinda fun

    So we all know that most stories are written in 1st or 3rd perspective. I'm dabbling in 2nd, and I have to say, it's kind of fun. It's a unique twist on what I normally write. It's like each chapter is a long drawn out GM statement from a TTRPG (I'm the GM of my group, usually). That's it...

    World Maps?

    to each their own, but if you really want to take off as an author, it's all but required. I refuse to use twitter personally, but my online persona - my alias, John Owl, does.

    World Maps?

    I posted it and pinned it to my X(twitter). this was back before I actually started posting here, and I just hadn't considered including it when I did. That said, I'll definitely be including maps in my future works. I may make another for my story Two Faces, and my next work after Mysthavia...

    Describe your pet

    a daddy's girl with a crush. she gets jealous anytime I have any physical contact with anyone that isn't her. If i come home and she smells ANYONE or any THING on me, i get the silent treatment until I give her scratches and treats. She sleeps on my wife specifically so she can stare at me and...
