Thanks for your vote, El. There's still plenty of time for more votes, but as it stands (right now) the Lance opening is in the lead. UPDATE - After tallying the votes that have come in so far via external platforms, the vote is now tied [at the time of writing this] with multiple pending vote...

A few lifetimes ago. (Not literally; that'd be closer to 1996 in the summer.). I started writing creatively back in middle-school, role-playing in online chat-rooms around 7th grade. Not long after, I learned that my late-father was also a writer (beyond just being in a band, and writing the...

Aestelle Nocte - Chapter 3 Polls dropped in both Feedback & Latest Chapter discussion threads. Be sure to vote in both for the chapter opening you prefer for the story. Votes are anonymous, and you can vote in both polls, which close in six days time. The winner (determined by total cumulative...

Alright, I've finished up the quick rough drafts for the two most popular answers from Chapter 2's question ["Who is at the door?"]. All of which was received via DM's on Discord, or direct in-person votes from a few of my invested beta-readers, but the results were torn between two options...

Very well said, exceptionally well-presented, and spot on for identifying the problem itself. I'm sure most (if not all) of us have been guilty of giving some of that poor advice from time to time. Myself included. Though I've also taken to putting in the effort to give better advice and...

Under the lens of what you're aiming for El, this bit is exceptional. You're hitting all of the beats you're after to build visual tension for the coming conflict. The only thing that's really missing from the opening here, is the context for the fight. The "Why" of it. I'm confident you've got...

It's no trouble, El. Really. I've got about four hours to kill in the morning, so reading and critiquing for you is a fine way to spend some of it. Who? Or is that some kind of reference that I'm completely missing?

I only have the time for a quick skim right now, so I'll refrain from offering a rating and full critique and analysis until I have the time to sit and read it in-full, so I can give the sample the time, and attention, it deserves before delving into the critique. That said, within the skim...

Eh... depends on the execution. Could work. Could end up trash. If you want to include a mature woman as one of the characters in this nature, try to avoid the standard milf archetype though. That might make the story stand out some more, unless you plan to have all of the women in said 'harem'...

Being unapologetically myself, and delivering that same tone in my stories, through my characters. (I consider this a strength, but I'm sure there will be no end to those who would also consider it a weakness). If I had to choose just one thing that I feel I do well, it would have to be the...

This is much clearer, in terms of the structure, and shows clear intent and purpose now. There are still several elements that I don't fully understand; but that is clearly the result of genre mismatch, and not related to what you've presented there. All that really remains is implementation...

That's a different question, and it would depend entirely upon the story itself with the exception of my classical-adjacent style within more modern genres, I'd pitch the stories with their blurbs and/or premises. For example, this is the blurb (called a synopsis here on scribblehub) for The...

It was a couple of days ago... but I learned there is a lounge feature somewhere on the site.

Ultimately that is something you'd have to consider for yourself within the system you design for your own story's narrative. My approach was to work skill improvement and growth into the core structure of the LitRPG mechanics and system within my setting, but this may not necessarily work for...

"Sub sole nihil novi est" "There is nothing new under the sun." If I were to try and answer the question, it would be with this in mind. Toward that end, I'd say that the element that truly makes my work unique is the manner in which I pull all of the different inspirational elements together...

The Elarian Chronicles - Update Duskfall: Chapter 2.3 - A Rose Amongst the Thorns (Part 3) SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE: Feb. 14th @ 11:30am - Happy Valentines Day to those who celebrate.

Personally, I'd say to each their own for that. I felt it was a good idea given the nature of some of the upcoming (bonus) chapters for the series that I'm writing. They have the necessary content warning, but in come cases, the "sexual content" warning is not sufficient for the degree, or...

I'll give you this much; it feels reasonably well thought-out, but isn't effectually clear in its intended purpose or scope (to me anyway). That said; this also, from what I can guess, isn't intended as a LitRPG system, which in-and-of itself makes it less compatible with my interests, and...

There's a Lounge feature? What is it?

Added.
