I worry that my writing style is boring. I worry that I describe things so ineffectively that my readers' eyes will glaze over and they'll be unable to imagine anything, that the experience of reading it will be drier than an encyclopedia, and that I'll never succeed at the art because all I'll...

I'm favouriting monster. I tend to see it as just another way to show the author how much I loved their update so, as long as I'm happy or enthralled at the end, I click the heart without much thought. But I've noticed that it's a slim few readers who will actually use favourites, for some...

A question for you: Are you aiming for this survey to be just of your readers, or for SH users in general? If it's for SH users, it's probably more useful if as many authors and users share it around as possible. Otherwise the results will all be from readers who happen to like one particular...

I'm a native English speaker and a Westerner, so it's not the same, but I do have a similar issue. To quickly skim over a lot of complicated politics, England is kind of the UK's own America. It swallowed all the other countries with various methods to create the UK and it has a lot of bad...

I personally like "generic" Medieval settings because the readers are already familiar with the expectations of the setting, which means that you can just focus on playing around with what you need. Then what you change, or the expectations you break, are able to take on more significance...

There are 2 weeks remaining to enter the competition~! If you're interested, I strongly recommend submitting at least a few days before the end. It's common for submissions to accidentally fail to meet a rule or two and to need a bit of editing to fit before they can be resubmitted. If your...

Here you go: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/lord-and-dragon/ (And here's some dragon GL, for anyone interested in the opposite: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/15767/erislethe-valley-of-the-dragon-queen/)

Dragon BL, definitely. I actually do know a dragon BL, if you want the link.

Dyslexia could be a reason, too. Some of the brightest minds I know can't capitalise their Is because... Well, they just can't. It used to bother me a lot as well, but I've learned to accept these things and focus on the content. And i think you should too ;)

I honestly think that I pay more attention to the title than the cover. Even if a cover puts me off to begin with, I'll reconsider based on the title. However, I have to say that I'm kind of put off by stories that just take an image from the internet and use it without any changes. Even if the...

That wasn't an argument. If you read everything you come across as an argument, that's your problem. A reasonable person wouldn't take so much offense to that. I don't care enough about changing your opinion to sit here all night fighting about nothing when I have work to prepare for. It...

I didn't start an argument - I clarified the point I made earlier. Arguing would be going round in circles with you here unnecessarily.

Whatever you want to think. People who want to fight won't stop no matter what you say anyway. I've got better stuff to do than argue about nothing here. That's what you look like from the outside.

When you can't have a civilised discussion about features on a writing site because people keep turning it into a full-fledged personal brawl with effing and swearing, a hellhole is what it becomes.

Ouch. :sweat_smile:

The Yuri Garden's first anthology finished releasing yesterday and I've decided to put up a description of each of the stories to help readers decide if they want to read it or not. However, I've been writing them for days and it's getting hard to judge if they're any good. I would strongly...

If you read the first post, To Read lists have obvious downsides. That's why the neutral option is like that. Also, hiring a pessimistic asshole isn't evil, it's just unpleasant. Hiring a puppy killer would be evil.
