Question for you, do you enjoy reading/watching things in the romance genre? If it's a genre you want to write in, maybe take a look at the tropes you enjoy as an audience member. Also, there are readers hungry for stories about platonic relationships as well. Deep friendships that withstand...

Room descriptions. I got aphantasia, so it's hard for me to notice when characters are 'floating in blank space' since it's all just a blank void in the ol' noggin. Typically I have to look up references to get an idea of what to describe for a story.

If you go on google and search "[insert subject] photography" you'll weed out a lot of AI and boring references. Collect a bunch that look like they'll be fun to draw. I personally like dance photography as a reference, since there's lots of movement and a focus on the body instead of clothes...

Meal prepped for the week!

Writing most of the time! Where as during the weekday, it's easier to read a quick chapter while on break or winding down from a shift. Not to mention anyone waiting for classes to start.

Now that I'm getting a better handle on the forums again, I'll be updating this the same day as chapter releases. Links go to the internet archive web player where I read the chapter aloud. Prologue Chapter 1.1 Chapter 1.2 Chapter 2.1 It appears hyperlinks can be added directly into the...

I can give it a look, got a link?

I posted my first chap at midnight, which did fairly well. My later updates were around 9am and did a little less, so somewhere between then ig. But def keep an eye on any scheduled chaps to make sure it displays the right day, or it won't show as updated recently in search results. I'm new, so...

Hello, I'm Worldismyne! I write, make art, and work on a VN on the side in my freetime. My favorite novels to read are YA Fantasy and spoof Fantasy (currently working my way through Terry Pratchett's catalog and the Howl's Moving Castle series). It's been hard to navigate the search feature to...

Username: Assigned to me my mother PFP: A colored pencil drawing I did of the MC for my debut book.

This is for the full book jacket, it doesn't work well for the thumbnail, so that's why I did a lovely photograph instead to represent the main character. This is what Klava looks like at the start of the book in the Frog Creek uniform. And this is Morai from the prologue. I'm playing...

I know there's been issues with views not being logged in properly. Has anyone else had issues with scheduled chapters showing the drafted date instead of the upload date. (note: chapters are publishing at the time they're supposed to) I've tried editing the date/time, drafting/republishing...

I see, I see. So would a completed story at 48 chaps build audience confidence here? Or would consolidating a series under one book be better in your opinion?

Oooff, gotta love host glitches lol. Been having spotty connection and the wrong publish date showing up on my scheduled chapters OTL. I'm open to support, but it def depends on the genre. I love my fantasy, romance and YA adventures.

Ooofff. I'll have to keep an eye on my stats the next few weeks. I just assumed it was because I was uploading twice a week instead of daily and I'm a newbie. Is it happening with scheduled chapters? Or all kinds of chapters.

Email drafts and Ellipsus

Big fan of not publishing until the work is finished. Then you have all your chapters scheduled to update consistently. Granted that's what worked for me on Ao3, and the chapter/story lengths here are different. When I was writing stuff and posting at the same time, I found having a 16-18 week...

This is good to know. My first book is probably going to be shorter than that (about 48 chapters ~ 81k). I've heard putting sequels to the first installments in the same stories is very common, would this be why?

I entered expecting maybe a page view or two as a debut (mostly from friends wanting to support) and was pleasantly surprised. I'm just starting out myself and have been more used to Ao3's way of doing things, so it's a bit of a learning curve, but so far so good! I think, just like with any...

Very helpful to know, thank you! Thank you for sharing. In advanced search, I didn't initially realize double clicking on a tag would let you exclude the genre. Now that I know, it's easier to filter out the stories I'm not interested in.
