    What is stopping you from writing more?

    Oh right, I also have far too many other hobbies and interests. Including gaming and manga/anime.

    Which is better?

    Webnovel sucks. So my friend (former friend, it seems like) uses Webnovel. His book is locked to regular people after chapter 51, and then obscured from sight entirely after chapter 97 (you need an app to preview). So basically, there's some kinda limit to viewing after a certain number of...

    How are RPGs fellow zoomers?

    I don't use Zoom. I like the idea of dropping safety precautions and visiting the real world. There's this thing called Amazon? You ummm go an purchase a Switch Lite or something, then get cartridges? You can even use Switch's store to download games. I'd not recommend KH3 on the Switch...

    Writing Prompt Please Write This Story For Me~

    I got the idea from a scene in Inuyasha (Miroku hits on a girl who turns out to be a mantis demon AND I think it was male). But I tried to write this like a smutty harlequin. I also had a number of children's stories on the shelves. This game was Oracle of Tao, which later inspired my novel...

    Writing Prompt Please Write This Story For Me~

    I once had a story within a story (RPG, there were readable books), where I described a girl who slowly and seductively touched her partner... then suddenly a giant preying mantis pops out of her and slowly seductively eats her partner.

    Hence the "deciding" their writing is crap. Perfectionism is the bane of writers.

    Looking to do reviews

    Awwww. 1 stars are suck. Lemme see that... What are some of your books, I might give them a second opinion, if I can remember.

    Now it turns out that my novel is now inclusive and Woke?

    My story is probably diverse without trying. Mainly just cuz I like lesbian fiction and gender bending stuff. But since I'm conservative, nobody would label it "woke." In fact, I go out of my way to critique COVID or the latest climate crap, or anything that pisses me off, really. Basically...

    Ah okay. Yeah, someone mentioned how they couldn't handle less than 5 star review (I'm not sure if they were joking, but that tells a great deal to the extent of people deciding their writing is crap).

    Looking to do reviews

    My cutoff is a 3 star review. 3 star is average. Yea, I understand if you're not that into it. But declaring it subpar isn't that cool. 5 stars is really too sensitive. 5 stars should be "THIS IS AWESOME, THE BEST I'VE READ SO FAR." 4 stars is that it's good, 3 stars it's okay, 2 stars and below...

    Are they deleted by the author or does ScribbleHub occasionally censor stories that are low quality?

    What is stopping you from writing more?

    Well, usually it's the startup phase. If I get into the rhythm of writing, I can keep writing and writing. My high fantasy epic was a true epic in the sense of being egregiously long (about 60-80 chapters, and about 386k words. For reference, a typical novel's like 50k at most, with a typical...

    Tomorrow is the start of 4 day holiday! Help me find something to binge read!

    You can read my book. It has nothing at all to do with your preferences. :s_wink: But it's a short series, and chapters are little slice-of-life vignettes. Mmmm, there is a chapter or two that have LGBT/gender bender stuff, but honestly, you can skip those chapters with no impact on the story...

    2nd Person Point of View

    2nd person POV is usually heavily frowned upon by the elites in writing. In my opinion, there are two instances where you write in second person: - Choose Your Own Adventure - A book that is heavily modeled after an RPG. It's a format that lends itself well to the narrator basically telling...

    Smut with Plot or Plot with Smut?

    Well, let's use movies and hentai as a comparison. We have a typical brainless blonde getting humped by some guy and they tack on some fantasy setting (much like what I hate about isekai, they do not bother with fully fleshed characters and setting). On the other extreme, they have something...

    Killing POWs who just surrendered

    Typically, unless the villain repeatedly shows himself to abuse mercy, this is a good way to set the MC up as an antihero. The more quickly they ignore pleas for mercy though, the less sympathetic the audience will be if the roles are reversed. What if the MC needs mercy? What if the villain's...

    A comprehensive history of Werewolves

    If you're gonna be writing about them, make sure you spell it right though. Ware = something bought/sold Were= "man" Werewolf = "wolf-man"

    Tales from the Reaper Re-Chapter

    Well, the premise involved some pink-haired college student (not literally pink, but you get the idea) arguing with basically a Trump voter (though this is set in pre-Trump era around 2014 or so). And not looking where he was going when he walked right into an intersection, thinking about some...

    Tales from the Reaper Re-Chapter

    My story is a series of short vignettes, kind of like a Dragonlance anthology, each story is more or less self-contained, yet adds to the mythos. I like "Sick Girl" and "Well of Souls" chapters, but then I get to "Isekai". I don't like Isekai at all. It's deconstruction of the isekai genre...

    I can predict whether your story will become popular or not

    There are parts of Tales from the Reaper I gues "anthology" is the wrong word. It's kinda like a series of self-contained stories or vignettes. Some are kinda lightweight cute & sad, others veer toward the horror genre. Of these short stories, Sick GIrl is the most adorable, while Well of Souls...
