    The Yuri Writing Help Room (18+)

    Here I thought nose-kissing and nuzzling just invited ‘cute!’ feelings and lovey-dovey twitterpating. Never would have thought of it as ‘particularly erogenous’ to the touch. Scent-wise absolutely! But nose touching just sounds ticklish. Literarily speaking though, the image of a nose-nom is...

    Who's the Most OP Character You Created?

    I think I know how you feel ? I felt bad using the villain who comes at the halfway point of what I’m writing (quite possibly literally 100 chapters into it) among my example characters of ‘people who are OP in practice/potential’. Superpowered villains are interesting because you can’t defeat...

    Who's the Most OP Character You Created?

    Nothin wrong with a character like that... or however many of the human race who still exist being basically little Good Omen antichrists just waiting to happen when one of them figures it out. Still, the power to imagine/believe and make real, despite being inherently the most powerful...

    Was there the time that happened when a certain publishing serialization company seeks to imprint the novel (with better editing) in ScribbleHub?

    'A bit of light reading.' vs War and Peace. I was under the impression that when people were using 'Light Novel' to refer to western books, they meant 'young adult' ie Harry Potter, which it has to be admitted is a remarkably easy read. Yes, there is a movie scene where the 'resident...

    Flow, chapter seven was what really hooked me at the start. Their decision to do that to their character in chapter *7* in a series which has 40+ chapter arcs... was so astounding to me that I just had to know more. 'Would this author really do such a thing justice?' It's such a brazen thing...

    Demographics (like Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen, and Josei) must be seperated from genre

    Even if there were to be separate demographics from genres: I would find having them all couched in Japanese language to be a dreadful pain to parse. I would think that targeting age brackets is mostly useful on background algorithms that serve people through on-site recommendations. All that...

    I'm curious about how to write a good (quality) female protagonist?

    ‘Relating’ is an easy enough thing to do: imagine yourself into the identical situation, and consider how it affects you, then look at how it affects someone else and it’s almost inevitable that you’ll see at least a few similarities... as even if only your senses tell you the same thing as...

    What is your definition of success for your novel?

    100 chapters 1,000 readers on scribblehub. Until then, it’s not a success, it’s only moving towards success. There’s no need to fret for failure though: I’m already well past the point I thought I would ever get to. 1/10th and a hundredth of the way to my chapter goal, and ~50 people liked it...

    Flow. Incredibly brutal, from the psychological to the physical: I’ve never seen an author let their character take hits that actually carry on and matter. Lost fights, torture, brutality, psychosis... it’s literally the only case of split personality that I’ve ever enjoyed reading...

    Have any nice music or ambiance you listen to whilst you write?

    Video game music... anime ost... vocaloids.... more video game music but remixed.... bgm.... But... but...? Fwoo. /Vaerama puts away the female screamo. But there are never enough! ? One of these days, I’m gonna step into a thread, and from wall to wall people will be dropping Cradle of...

    Putting Music to your work

    It’s an interesting idea, but I somehow feel that just because someone’s reading something gruesome and intense: nymphetamine fix and beauty of annihilation might just not be for them. If you’re going public domain anyways, I don’t see how adding it into your authors notes is going to cause...

    How do you let your character succeed his first trial?

    Some problems you can’t wait out, beat with a stick, befriend, seduce, run from, get help for, be helped for, drug to death, work through with a friend/family, and your only God in Heaven would rather see you dead than to help you. Some trials must simply be suffered, and endured. There’s a...

    Would it be alright if I already killed them once? ? I do so love to hate tragedy.

    Why? What makes you want to write? What is your "Writer's Creed"?

    I mean, money’s nice and all, but I’d probably be working on other types of projects if money was the sole guiding principal. As it is, it’s somewhere in the ‘yeah, I’d like it to be commercial and to make a ‘living wage’ writing’, and I really don’t give two twitches about fame beyond knowing...

    Writing Who else feels weird putting dialogue tags before the dialogue.

    Hey, I hate it all. I need those quotations, and I thrive on them in the 'classic' style. When it comes to the 'marker's of 'said, asked' and all that, I like the variety between their use and not using them. Jane Austen I believe might be one of the good examples of not using them in classical...

    Do you like to use brain when reading?

    No, nothing like that terrible work of tedium. The only reason you could possibly 'gain' from a re-read is because you *missed* things entirely because it's a trillion page mess! Not exactly a subtle book, The Bible. Maybe some psalms? If you simply ignore the duds...? It's why church-speaking...

If it were I who was to be always young, and the picture that was to grow old! For that—for that—I...

    Writing Who else feels weird putting dialogue tags before the dialogue.

    It's all well and good, until you get to 5 people speaking at once, and the author not bothering to tell you 'who' is speaking. The number of times I've seen this... is outrageous. I'm totally fine if someone says WHO is talking though Course, my preference is towards a mix of dialogue...
