    Advice for a newbie?

    Exactly what I meant. :blob_cookie:

    Advice for a newbie?

    Right? And if you have a degree, all the better. I don't, but I still think my one-man-army style can work. Sure, you have to make the difference between and editor and a proof reader (sorry, my brain was wired when I wrote corrector, because in German it's Korrektor), so just paying an editor...

    Story Bingo

    I admit, there's no active Dragon, but a main cast character is actually a Black Dragon. Even if not everybody likes his dry comments, he also happens to be the only comedic relief, as that is what he's there for in the beginning, when his role is important in the way that he's there, but not...

    Advice for a newbie?

    Seems like you are already doing well on your way to handle it, so I doubt you will come across bigger problems. Still, getting readers is a good thing, especially if you wish to publish your books. As someone who doesn't have an editor myself when I self publish, I can tell you the scrutiny is...

    Advice for a newbie?

    You shouldn't immediately apologize for everything someone says - just a piece of advice. All I was saying was that it gave me an ick the way you phrased it, but since I don't know the story, it doesn't mean your story is bad or anything. Anyway, it's reasonable to question RR reviews. Like...

    Advice for a newbie?

    I'm a bit wary now, because the word "representation" doesn't ring well in art, especially in stories. You can make everyone gay, if your story supports it and speaks to the right audience, but you should write in a way that makes sense, not to represent whatever. And seeing how many really...

    Advice for a newbie?

    Haven't had that happen yet, but my two gay romance books haven't reached the gay yet, so that might be it. My main project got stomped though. Like, unnecessarily so. Everybody says that, I know, but getting a 5 Star Review and and not even an hour later a 2 Star, which is coincidentally the...

    Advice for a newbie?

    That's because RR is toxic af. Not all of them, of course, but by and large... it's toxic af. :blob_aww: :blob_cookie: EDIT: On that note, RR is toxic, Tapas is desperate and SH is just floating on weed fumes, dilluting the air between them. Personal experience, no warranty on any of the things...

    Share your Novel Covers!

    I never read that book, but it somehow reminds me of the vibe of Under the Oak Tree's cover. Looks cool. Please, don't do as so many do and fumble the ball on the typography. That's fine, once I go on tangents, it's already a good sign when people can keep following. Thank you again <3...

    Advice for a newbie?

    Not trying to piss in your chips, but some of these sound more like a sad testament of humanity's decay than anything.

    So Which Genre Is Hard To Write About.

    Horror I can't feel the dread of horror in a fictional setting. That is why I can't tell what others might experience as something scary or dreadful either. There have been occasions when I wrote a normal story and people told me something was apparently scary, but on purpose? Not possible. And...

    Superhero stories, Yay or Nay?

    To quote one of my character, who's always a mood: "Sounds Trustworthy."

    Superhero stories, Yay or Nay?

    They are just poorly executed now. There's still a huge audience for it, and I would be one of them.

    Share your Novel Covers!

    That's a good hint! I didn't notice, because I have a wide screen and when I look at them, I know what it says. I did think it might be small, but now I know. The thing is, the original template, in other words the printed version, is not called "first season" (obviously, I guess); the title is...

    Favorite angst or grim trope

    I like everything dark and cozy grim, but I don't think I have a specific trope I prefer. Then again, I currently explore a character in one of my Webnovels, who was raped and murdered, then brought back by a God as an immortal being in the service of said God. He gets something for it, but it...

    A milestone in a genre I suck at

    If you need help with a book cover, I would help. If you don't need something crazy elaborate.

    A really good Medivieal witch manga to read

    Ah, well. I guess I should have expected something stupid. Then again, it's oddly creative and likely less on the ecchi side of things. So I'm kind of positively surprised.

    What's your top 3 favorite colors?

    You have my respect, just printing a few times in school and I'm annoyed by it. Depends on the method, though.

    What's your top 3 favorite colors?

    It is a color by definition. Had to go through this ad nauseum when I attended an arts school.
