    When to do a rewrite

    Take this with a grain of salt, as I'm very much in your boat, but I'd say when you've noticed a drastic change in your writing ability. As it stands, I am planning a rewrite of my first story, to begin releasing on its anniversary date (on the first chapters 1 year anniversary, I will remove...

    Shared world link with co-author

    I may be wrong, as i'm not a copyright lawyer, however... I believe a copyright must be more than 2 letters long. now, if it were a world called Ea that held world tournaments called NBA2k##, or NHL '## or whatever, then that would definitely be crossing a line. but simply Ea itself shouldn't...

    Has anyone else been over-productive?

    that's the plan. I'm working on a secondary story that'll run when my current is done. it won't be published for a while yet (I can't juggle two active stories at a time), but it'll be nice to have a good buffer ready to go when I do begin posting it. that said, I've still got ideas swirling...

    Has anyone else been over-productive?

    kind of. i set my own deadlines, but they're kinda set in stone now, with my readers expecting uploads at certain times. I've been trying to work on my next story, but that deadline is vague as it won't be starting until my current run is over. that said, you did give me an idea. I might use...

    Has anyone else been over-productive?

    It's my ADHD, i think. I always thought getting ahead would let me focus more, but if anything, not having that deadline looming has shot my drive to be productive. I can't focus worth a damn now...

    Has anyone else been over-productive?

    I've been writing on and off for 14 years (had a long break and just got back into it May of this year). My previous pen-name, I had to take whole weeks off to try and grapple with my depression. I've actually never been this far ahead. most often, I schedule less than an hour before it's due...

    Has anyone else been over-productive?

    So, I got into a groove last weekend, and wrote 2 weeks worth of uploads (probably like, 8K words over 3 days). They're all edited and scheduled for their designated upload dates. But the issue is that i *FEEL* like i'm slacking off. I'm working on planning and writing my next story, so it's...

    Worst thing you’ve done to a character because “it was going too well”

    I've got a few. an earlier story that I'll never share, I introduced a new character that killed MC's brother-in-law (who was my favorite character, and beloved by everyone) over a misunderstanding. then forced the MC and his wife to work with BIL's killers. that's probably the worst one I've...

    Furry Among Us

    I used to just be about humans with animal ears and tails. until i was finally honest with myself and admitted i was a full on furry. as long as they're anthro, they're golden :blob_wink:

    Furry Among Us

    @Comiak simply because I'm also a lover of foxes (foxgirls, specifically. Though I like wolfgirls as well)

    Armored Core is a weird game franchise

    lol well, I grew up with n64 and snes as the main systems in the house. so i got used to uncomfortable controllers. but I beat golden eye probably 6-7 times, and Turok probably 3 times. those games, you learn or you die. i dabbled with super mario 64, but never really got into it until i got...

    Weird question

    I usually use whatever is handy at the time. I usually have my keys on hand, so those are most common now. but I worked retail stocking for 6 years, so i got pretty quick with those safety box cutters. fun fact, for breaking them down for the baler, i usually just punch the bottom of the empty...

    Armored Core is a weird game franchise

    that was me when I went back to the N64 golden eye. the controls we dealt with back then were seriously F'd up compared to others that came just a couple of years later, like Halo, COD, or Medal of Honor. it worked well for the tri-fork controller the N64 had, but trying to play that with a...

    How would you detail a stealth section of a story?

    quietly. jokes aside, detail it as every sounds seeming louder than normal. like a soft boot scuff sounds like a ringing stomp, or something.

    AI-Assisted or not.

    occasionally. but for me the bigger issue is using commas anywhere i would put a slight pause in my verbal speech. such as between "me" and "the" towards the start of the previous sentence. almost used a comma, but i caught myself.

    About signing a contract

    I've worked as a ghostwriter. It's definitely not easy work, writing something you have no stake or interest in, aside from the monetary reward. but it was nice, occasionally getting a small cash injection to my budget.
