    Is monetizing a fanfic wrong?

    Well, there's three ways to consider it: (1) Is it illegal? (2) Is it morally wrong? (3) Is it practically inadvisable? Is it illegal? Under United States law, yes, it's copyright infringement. If you wrote a book set in the Star Wars Universe and published it on Amazon, you could be sued and...

    Why do many authors use covers that they got from Google?

    Certainly, although there is a small element of hypocrisy because a bulk majority of fan translations are illegal, so it’s a bit like a thief complaining that they were stolen from. International copyright law is quite clear that translations do not constitute fair use — in pretty much every...

    Why do many authors use covers that they got from Google?

    Hmm, I guess I can add my own response to this thread, although I think it heavily varies by person on an individual basis. For me, I come from an Internet background of forum roleplays, translations, fanfiction, and tumblr blogs. Sort of from the beginning, I've been well aware of the fact...

    How do you make a badass and secretive villain/Antagonist

    Well, there's a lot of different ways to approach this depending on your preferences~ One of my personal favorite approaches is to have the character do the opposite of what you expect. Nothing the antagonist does should make sense until all of the webbing comes together and you make your plot...

    Cookies for you! :blob_cookie: Impressions as I read: Synopsis: Certain aspects of the language remind me more of a translation through a native-English novel. For instance, "Miss" and third-person self references like "this servant" are more characteristic of Chinese language than English...

    Hmm, maybe a little more hinting would be nice! Maybe I read it quickly, but the villain's behavior (which is psychotic) gives the impression that they're mostly killing for fun.

    You should! Or well... maybe not, if you want to write your stories! XD I haven't written anything in the past week........ Reactions as I read: Synopsis: Some of the clauses feel a little awkward and there is a superfluous article ("the impending war") Pretty concise and solid synopsis...

    Ah! Don't feel pressured to rewrite! Be proud of your story and write what you want! :blob_no: A lot of authors get stuck in the rewriting trap, and oftentimes it's better to press forward and consider going back to edit/change things in the end after you're done with a story. My personal...

    I'll do the first one and maybe come back for the second story if my list of stories to read clears up. Reactions as I read (Devil's Despair) Synopsis: I feel like "ordinary" is a word that I have mixed feelings about... what is "ordinary"? Are you ordinary? Am I ordinary? If you mean...

    :blob_cookie: Come join us on ScribbleHub! Reactions as I read: Synopsis: Poetic-style synopsis; seems a little stereotypically emo/angst-styled A little too vague to the point I'm not sure if I want to start reading Tags seem somewhat interesting; I want to see how the loneliness and...

    Thoughts as I read: Synopsis: So as a brief FYI, I normally tend to avoid stories with loli's. I'm not sure why but maybe I just don't like loli's very much... Synopsis is fairly vague and I have no idea what I'll be reading. If it were me stumbling upon your novel normally, I would probably...

    Minacia's First Chapter Feedback

    For me I think what triggered the thought was the focus on "no women want to be near him" emphasized in the synopsis and the first chapter. I think it stood out to me because it was explicitly stated in a way that reminded me of certain types of people. For instance, there are plenty of NEET...
