    Anyone else not getting emails?

    Stupid question, but did you double-check you are actually watching the thread with email notifcations?

    Title and Hotel Name Help

    Their meaning is similar, but I would say Gehenna rolls off the tongue easier than Perdition's Rest, so I would go with the former for that reason alone. Especially since it's the name of a hotel.

    thank you all for your help

    I guess someone really hates translations. And to be fair, if all the works are translations, they should not ever appear in searches, much less the front page, because translations are not allowed on SH. They are only tolerated as hidden, to be linked from other sites, and because there is no...

    Please add Volume option. It's a mess.

    Technically such function is already there. You can upload volumes as separate books, and link them as sequel/prequel. Adding it as the function you describe is, from my perspective as a reader, simply not worth it.

    Gay Characters in Fiction

    Sexuality is just one of many character traits. I would say good writing is not about what traits your characters have, but how you use them. If all you can say about your character is that they are gay, most people won't like that character, though in the right setting it can still work. If...

    Which crayons are your favorite? Why?

    To my great disappointment, the orange ones do not taste like oranges.

    Labeling chapters with sex

    Depends on the story and nature of the scene, but in general, I would say they are not needed. An exception can be explicit scenes that are significantly different from the rest of the story, e.g. a straight scene in an otherwise yuri story, or an entire optional chapter dedicated to explicit...

    Would my story do better here than on RR?

    This. I know I would not pick up your story for that simple reason, I would see the AI synopsis and move away.

    Resolved Help me with this novel, is it translations or original work?

    At a glance, it looks like it could be an original novel, possibly by a Chinese, or other non-native English speaking author.

    Could there be an drop/exit interview?

    Once I replied to an author asking for feedback in comments. I got a reply not even from the author, but the author's girlfriend (who is also an author, but not of that story), who then also blocked me.

    Could there be an drop/exit interview?

    Every author wants feedback. Most can't handle even constructive criticism, however, and when they are asking for feedback, they really mean empty flattery.

    Setting up a Patreon

    In my opinion it's a fair pricing. Neither too cheap, nor too expensive compared to other authors I have seen. I have seen authors make decent profit off of Patreon with just advance chapters. It depends how popular your works turn out to be, and how wide an audience you can reach. Personally...

    Ideal length for chapters

    1.5-2.5k is the general consensus for optimal length of a webnovel chapter on this site. Anything under 1k sacrifices too much quality for quantity and might have higher initial traffic, but lower reader retention, while if you go above this range, you start losing readers who do not have time...

    Appreciating Unusual Animals

    This animal would not fit your example conditions, but when mentioning unusual animals, one cannot simply ignore the duck-billed, beaver-tailed, egg-laying, milk-sweating mammal that is a platypus. Oh, did I mention it has electroreceptors in the bill?

    Hypothetical: What is your chosen ceremonial melee weapon?

    RPG stands for rocket-propelled grenade. It is best known as an anti-tank weapon, but there are also warheads specialized against infantry and fortifications.

    Hello there!

    Don't expect much in the way of (genuine) comments on your story until it gets popular. Most of the readers here tend towards the silent type. Not just those inviting you to discord or any other platform. Anyone praising you too much is suspicious (a catch all phrase is "your story really moved...
