    What Genres do you filter out?

    Fanfiction, Romance, Harem, BL, Ecchi, Smut. (Forgot to tick Romance in the poll.) Romance and Smut are usually written for thirsty twenty-year-olds. BL and Ecchi are at best full of foreign, esoteric practices and at worst glorify child abuse. Harem novels spend too much time on the awkward...

    Writing Prompt Immortality is sad.

    The young man hummed as he finished his preparations. "Flowers..." He looked at the new orchid hybrids that had taken a good three decades to cultivate and hummed in satisfaction. "Check! Ring..." He chuckled to himself while gently carassing a blood-red crystal with the tips of his pale...

    My story got stolen by an aggregator audiobook site
