    I can't reread my own story

    That sounds good :-). And you’re welcome. One of the key issues with an author rewriting a work is often perspective. When the story is fresh and recent it’s hard to look at it objectively and rigorously edit things so what you have in your head is expressed the way you want. When I look back...

    I can't reread my own story

    I took a quick look at your stuff. There’s a little bit of awkwardness and a few sentences are fragments which you could make flow a little better with minor fixes. But your writing is already better than 99% of stuff I see. And I’ve written 10 million words and been through a bunch of stuff...

    Is this a utopia/dystopia/something else and why?

    I have a premise vaguely similar to this comic and I was curious to kind of explore the nooks and crannies of this idea more fully. Fundamentally, it’s the same core as The Matrix but the machines are benign/caretakers for humanity. Not to spoil too much of the Matrix series but it seems like...

    Overused genres.

    I’d love to see the top genres put into a randomizer and you pick three and try to make them work. There’s so much to be said in every genre, the problem is relying on the familiar when writing. The most boilerplate concept can be made into something cool if you’re willing to write it that way.

    New release blockade

    I’ve noticed this a few times since I have several series I’ve created sometimes it’s rough for it to be reviewed. I wonder if it might be better to make a very small first chapter which has a better chance of approval and then immediately update with a proper one right after that.

    Is my story correctly tagged? Martial Spirits, Soul Power?

    I honestly feel a little confused as to the definitions of all the tags most of the time I’ll be like well the antagonist is kind of friendly I suppose I don’t know if that qualifies for one of those tags and it’s hard to remember all of them and whether they seem important to the plot

    The magical thing that is Discord.

    Discord makes for a decent writing and notes archive since you can have different channels assigned for different themes and ideas and stories. That’s mainly what I use it for myself.

    Do you plan a plot or just wing it?

    Depends on the type of story. Like right now I’m writing some thing just to kick back and recuperate creatively and physically so it’s basically light on plot and focused on normal character interactions. I haven’t posted it yet but it’s very internal to the character so there’s a lot of self...

    Looking for a Slave.

    Unfortunately when it comes to abuse I’m more of a do-it-yourself-er ;)

    Are there any "gimmick" comment accounts?

    It’s one of those things where it’s like that would be fun and I once made an account which was a portrayal of some anime character’s hair. But I get so little time to focus on writing that I start a random idea and it’s like should I really be messing around with this when I have stuff I should...

    The Second Tempest Contest

    For the weapons thing can it be like a gun that’s alive and talks and drinks blood, like an organic weapon or is that not enough of a twist?

    Writing How to be scary when writing?

    It’s hard to really tell what is scary. The only thing that scares me are taxes, bills, and getting sick. The best you can do so far as making a scary story is setting a certain mood that has ebbs and flows. Sounds that unsettle along with other sensory details paint a compelling picture for the...

    The ability to pin a certain work as featured

    That would be ideal but I figure small steps since it doesn’t seem like those in charge are keen on changing the sorting from most recently published.

    Abandoned stories

    I wouldn’t say any story of mine is absolutely abandoned unless I cease to exist. There’s a few I feel like I’ll never get around to writing. And the couple I wrote towards high school which I don’t feel like they’re worth investing my time into developing further. Now, I’m kinda wondering what...

    At what point does a story cross over the border of mature mature and into smut?

    Details. If the reader can draw a sketch of the character’s anatomy from your description, then it’s probably crossed the line from simply mature.

    Writing Prompt Nuclear/Radioactive Magical Girl!

    I actually have a story kind of like that where because of multi-verse shenanigans a young woman has like a radioactive field around her that transforms anyone she tries to get close to.

    The ability to pin a certain work as featured

    I mean pin it to an author’s page. Sorry if that wasn’t clear. So you have your main page as an author and then you have say… “Story just released“ “Story right behind that” … And then your last story is the last in chronological order My proposal is that an author if they wish to can feature a...
