I'd guess that means the stories need some semblance of plot. My one shots are fairly sex heavy, but each contains a short story plot (out of 3k words, i'd say it an average of about 2k plot and 1k smut, and no one's complained yet, so...) @Vector, I'd say under canadian law. also, fanfic is...

you present a 3rd kind of strength: Strength of wallet. so we have strength of body (physically strong) We have strength of mind (Stubborn) And we now have strength of wallet (spoiled). of the lot... I'd say strength of wallet wins. more often than not, IRL, the rich can just by plenty of...

this raises another question for me: Where is the line for plot armor? I mean, In my universe, Manticores are very rare, VERY deadly. fast, intelligent, powerful, with a venom that's both highly toxic and highly acidic. my MC is a half-dragon (called a dragonling in my world). and due to his...

Sounds like Saitama from One Punch. literally, hiw whole life is just "Meh. nothing bothers me." then there's this super powerful "I will destroy the entire galaxy" bad guy. then Saitama goes full badass until he realizes they're still powerless compared to him, so he goes back to "Guess I'll...

Some fantastic advice! I'll definitely mention it to my readers once I get closer to ready, and I'll definitely be looking for an editor and other options. For selling, regardless of who I get to print, Amazon will likely be involved. Though I do have a local book shop that specializes in...

I'm still a ways off from ready to release as a completed novel. I hate "release -> prequel -> sequel" (looking at star wars there), and my first needs a rewrite desperately (It was a one shot, converted to a novel, so the whole thing was hasty and rushed and not put together well). but I was...

I thought hating amazon was basically required online nowadays. huh. But yeah, I considered KDP and the amazon POD services. Also looked into others, but most of the others seem to be more akin to vanity publishers. you pay them just to have your book on their site, then it's print on demand...

As the title says, I'm looking for everyone's thoughts on self-publishing a finished work. That is, if I finish updating a story here and mark it as completed, what would your thoughts be on adding it as an Epub (and/or PDF) on a subscription site (like patreon, subscribestar, etc), or...

It might be a little cliche at this point, but I actually kinda liked "Banished From The Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life In the Countryside." It came out in 2017, and yeah, the plot kinda flows like you mentioned, but it focused more on how MC moved on. He accepted his fate and...

Wattpad allows it, and it's on google play. i fail to see why RR can't simply block mature from the app same as WP does. but my bigger issue is the arbitrary enforcement of the policy. they allow, what, 15% mature content? my first chapter had MAYBE 5%, if you want to call it that when a...

Yeah. Tried posting my story "A Succubus' Love" there. got rejected. asked why and was told that "We feel the story is too sexual". apparently even just mentioning a succubus is enough for them to reject it. considering the first chapter didn't have anything more mature than the succubus wearing...

I agree with most of what you said, save for one part. a writer doesn't suck as writing if a reader doesn't 'get it', or doesn't feel what they're supposed to feel, or whatever. the writer would suck at writing if a reader with a similar background didn't feel similar reading the same passage...

interesting point. As Arthur C. Clarke said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." so I'd say yes. Science can be magic, regardless if the laws behind it are known. To your question, I believe mine is a hybrid. actual magic in my stories are usually harder...

I would say not really. I have multiple bad habits when typing because my brain races faster than my finger's can type. Grammarly helps me catch those. such as overusing commas, improper spacing (Such as "int he" instead of "in the", etc). i don't accept the suggested edits that would alter my...

lol my bad. I got distracted writing the comment, so I didn't see it when I posted the comment.

i'm a bit confused... the definition of personification is attributing human-like qualities to inanimate objects or abstractions. simply "the noun verbs" shouldn't be, as that's like, 95% of all sentences. stating that a dog is doing a verb that a dog is capable of doing without adding...

may as well. It's jsut a date. I'd be willing to spend an evening dining with a wizened old man and his massive... spell tome.

had to cut down the block. sorry. but to the first above point, I use grammarly to edit chapter by chapter. yes, i know the stigma against using AI editing. but hear me out: I don't take EVERY suggestion. if a suggestion would change something key or vital, then it stays are i've written it...

This is likely obvious due to my status as a smut author, but lust 100%. As for what the power would be, I'd say the ability to make others "in the mood", "ready to go", or "finish" at will. Imagine you're getting ready to fight, but your opponent just makes you "finish" over and over until you...

I may be misunderstanding, but it is possible the system isn't a "system" in and of itself, but just a sort of warning/alert, like Spiderman's 6th sense. just a sort of "danger, west, 150 feet". otherwise, I fail to see how the MC yandere would know for a fact that a victim would a target at a...
