    You can be hurt. You take a long time to write that theory and their only feedback is "too long". But consider, they clicked on the title. They were interested. You lost their interest. That is their feedback. I do not think they are rude, but I also think you blocking them would not be rude...

    TL;DR: I'm biased; TL;DR is good form; block them As someone who frequently looks at large posts and sighs when they did not include a TL;DR, I suppose I may be too sympathetic. Course, if the TL;DR is good, I will still read the whole post. I do not leave a comment as I know people these...

    I'd say the question mark is implied if it is abbreviated. Assuming otherwise is assuming bad intentions. Also, edit previous for brain hickup.

    I try to assume people online have good intentions until they give me a reason not to. "TL;DR?" conforms to netiquette. "You lost me at" does not, and is indeed rude af. If you post a long theory and do not include a TL;DR, then it is normal that people come forward to request it. Do that in...

    If someone asks for a TL;DR, I wouldn't mind. At least, they are interested in what you are saying. Providing a TL;DR also helps language learners. Of course, it depends on the general attitude.

    Mates, if your story includes slavery, please tag it. I think slavery is disgusting and don't want to read that fetish filth. No masters above, no slaves below!

    Emotional damage!

    I had a dream about dying repeatedly. Drowning, bled out, burning, strangled, fell off a roof, you name it. It went on too long. The pain was a bitch. Before that I did not thing it was possible to "wake up" inside a dream to another dream. The real bitch was another still: the fear of...

    Writing How do I get the motivation to write

    Listen to the right music. For example, I play this in a loop and tell myself, "I will not quit before I finished X". Tell yourself that the only escape from this bliss is doing X. Have your mates tie you to a chair listening to this. They will enjoy it.

    Language in Fantasy when lacking the origin behind the word.

    I'd absolutely read that shit! Mates, historical comedies are gold. All them peasants in olden times didn't speak all that high and mighty. Unless you are writing in middle English, I encourage you all to use modern language. Throw in some old slangs, units of distance, and names for a bit...

    Do you have a preference for the amount of chapters released before deciding to read a story?

    if it's a mate's story, 20 (min 20k words). if not, at least 50 (50k words). But that's only for stories with great synopsis and tags. Otherwise, 100k words. Of course, if the story is completed, I don't care how many words there are. I will read a 20k completed story all the same.

    It happens. If any of your clothes got bloody, remember to use cold water first. Wouldn't want to ruin that tee mate. As for mud, if you have one, don't clog up your washing machine. Soak them first. If it dried already, you can also try brushing some off before soaking. Don't give your...
