    Just Curious: What is easier to write - fanfiction, translation, or original?

    Translation, since you just have to find a way to communicate over what someone else has already written. Fanfiction comes second. You have characters and a setting you can use, as well as pre-determined relationships and fan lore to guide you. This may be constraining depending on how accurate...

    From the description, this looks like another one of those novels where the MC is forced into a feminine "wife" role? Unfortunately, this is exactly what I didn't want...

    Reviews (Programmer Edition)

    If a review is truly inaccurate, you can report it. If it's just that the reader perceived something differently from how you wanted them to, that's unfortunately tough luck. Sometimes you don't write what you think you wrote, or certain people won't understand it - that's an inherent struggle...

    They say that if you visualise yourself doing the very next step required to do something (e.g. getting out of bed when you need to get up and get dressed, opening the document that you need to write in, closing your laptop when you need to stop interneting), your resistance to doing it lessens...

    How the heck do you get people to discover already-finished stories?

    Some clear and well-placed advertising helps. I see that you have a little icon that links to your story in your signature, but it's actually not clear that it's an advert or that you can interact with it - it kind of just looks like a cute bit of decoration. You might get more clicks if you...

    What do you think of BL Harem?

    Correction: apparently "polygamy" is gender netural marriage to multiple spouses, so not as bad as I thought. Still requires marriage to apply, though.

    What do you think of BL Harem?

    Not really, no. We have "polyandry", for one woman married to multiple men, and "polygamy", for one man married to multiple women. That is all.

    What do you think of BL Harem?

    It's an endemic, and also the reason that I fell out of love with the genre. Harem is even worse, though, because the author's thin ability to write characters get stretched far past its capabilities. Exactly. In the one harem BL I actually finished, the harem members were extremely nice to...

    What do you think of BL Harem?

    It's not the lack of true harem that ruins it for me, though. It's the author's poor taste in men and inability to write a relationship with any romantic tension. In all honesty, I pretty much never like any of the options presented - but the author picks the worst of the bunch, making the...

    What do you think of BL Harem?

    The ones I've read in the past have always bored me, to be honest. They tended to go the mindless fetish route, with the love interests (and often even the MC) having no personality and no obvious reason to like each other. Then they'd go and get rid of everyone but the one most boring love...

    Let's talk about Husbandos [Waifus are also welcome (>W0)]

    Husbandos usually either have to be: Cool but a little dorky. Helps if they're short. Long-haired and fabulous. Soft face helps. An excellent example of type 2 is here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CHriToNlOsJ/?igshid=1tb6b1futhi2b For women, I tend to like them strong. Tall, muscled...

    Girls Love tags used in novels with male romance

    First, I'd make sure to give it the "Psychological" genre. You expect a lot more mindfuckery with that genre, so people are more open to distressing and uncomfortable content in a story with it. It would also go some way towards promising that the BxG relationships aren't just for drama. From...

    Girls Love tags used in novels with male romance

    Delivery is everything. Those slight alterations aren't nothing - they can change the whole genre of a story. If "Mrs Dalloway" wanted to be a GL, it would shift the focus much more greatly onto the lesbian characters and move the other elements at least slightly more into the background. For a...
