    Resolved Paragraph Spaces Vanishing

    I tested a story which I posted several weeks ago with perfect paragraph spacing. The only change I made was to press "UPDATE" with zero alterations to the text.

    Resolved Paragraph Spaces Vanishing

    I pasted text like I usually do from a word processor and when I move the text around in the client, the paragraph spaces vanish when they never ever did that before with the exact same method. I've tried pasting plain text into the editor and it has the exact same issue. The key issue is...

    How Many Words Do You Guys Average Per Chapter

    I like 2000 to 3000 if it's a backlog work I'm presenting which is super long. Medium ones can range from 1500 to 2000+. If I have to break up an old work into more of a serial form then I do take pacing into consideration. New works for the site have ranged from 600 in a prologue to 4200 in a...

    What's Happiness for an author?

    A comment after I get through a grueling section of writing. That's all. Goomji or whatever are fine but I am truly happy if someone responded to the fiction with words, especially if it is a part where I can make adjustments. Thanks are always appreciated but a thoughtful dialogue is best.

    Transgender tag

    Lacking description or tooltips most tags are up to interpretation. I had a bit of an issue with this since all my stories involve some form of gender shenanigans. Gender fluid roommate who loves everyone in a world where everyone has gender bender dreams at night and anime girls offer devices...

    Is this paragraph awkward?

    Yes. The main problem is the order in which you present your sentences. Randy should go first and lead further details from that. Start with something understandable and grounded and use it as a scaffold to take readers into the abstract and unusual.

    Discussion: What do you think makes the story good?

    People just keep reading through it without stopping to think that they are reading. Usually that comes from reading it yourself and still feeling that devotion on edit. If a text to speech kerps you engaged. It's like cooking. Right alignment of choices, no major distractions, good execution...

    Writing How to write ecchi?

    It always mystifies me how language can be suggestive without being right out smut. When there is a manga it is clear, shows the chests and suggests parts and things but you could easily write that scene describing all the bits it would be just in PG-13 instead of the wink nod extra level of lewd.

    Corrections and anxiety.

    Just do your best. If you do like I did and realize you had the character think their stuff was in their pockets when they say they left them in their car and you could make them go to their clothes in the hamper but just rewriting one line is easier than matching four or so later and even the...

    Jay's Synopsis Formula will work on your novel.

    My flaws tend to be bevity because I'll come out with an idea which is like - --- Four high schoolers are ripped from their normal lives by a powerful being and forced to save a fantasy world that oddly reminds them of home and may bring apocalyptic consequences for everyone they love. Foretold...

    Thoughts on a Synopsis

    I gotta admit the first one didn't make it clear to me that the character was murdered. When you got to the end of the first paragraph that was your Hook: Trans Woman (assuming that was the intent) is murdered. Beat. That second iteration was really good. But then it kinda gave me too much info...

    Writing Short flashback of a different character in a 1st person POV

    You can do pretty much anything in a story so long as you are willing to sell it to yourself as oh yeah I really want to see it. Something like Game of Thrones when it switches perspective is essentially a first person but without being too limited. Early Jon Snow bits and Bran. The key is you...

    Resolved The word "Advertisement" showing up on random headers

    I've noticed some author pages and chapters just say "advertisement" right before the description or text body. Figured it was just a placeholder for eventual ads on the site but just checking to make sure it isn't a bug.

    The Metus Contest

    I feel kinda bummed that I got creatively lost in the woods as soon as this started. I am writing 2000 words a day but in random flash fiction to recover creatively :/
