Like the rest of my colleagues here, I have had the occasion to think about the use of Artificial Intelligence. From my perspective, using ai to develop plot points, generate names and organize my myriad piles of notes, is the most natural thing. Thus I see ai as an assistant I don't have to...

Due the insanity that is the life of a political journalist, especially in this day, I've not been able to actually write any fiction. As such I have forced myself to actually attempt to sit and write some. Unfortunately, all my older story ideas aren't holding a spark for me. What to do? I...

This is an short list of tropes I despise to varying degrees: Mary and Gary Sue: we all like Op characters, make it logical. (My upcoming fantasy story the Mc is is op physically and intellectually, but being intelligent does make you smart, thus I'm putting him into a setting of internal and...

I've been a regular reader [newbie writer] of this site's content for an extended period, and there's a competing platform that, despite my reservations about it, offers something I find appealing – comics.

Reading novels with political intrigue has been quite an eye-opener for me. Having waded through political scenes for over 13 years, I've noticed that the written descriptions often miss the mark. Modern politics, with its mix of incompetence and luck, deserves a more real and detailed...

I've noticed some disdain on here for fanfic authors. Not too much, and it is worse elsewhere, so I decided to add my two-cents. I am currently writing a Naruto fanfic, I have about 6 chapters outlined, 4 of which are drafted and 2 of which are completed. In my opinion, having started this...

Due to real life problems I am not currently able to publish, however my buddy RecklessDawn has began to write a story. RecklessDawn is a historian with a Bachelors in American History, a Masters in Political Science and is a PhD student for Psychology. He recently received a review and wrote...

is there any way to change the font in the story editor? I have an ai charachter that I want to use a more blocky font

Sometimes I love a good political story, ala Tom Clancy, etc. Unfortunately the few political stories I've ran across on here, including stories with no political focus, only brush at politics. As you read them you see none of the depth and intrigue actually found in modern or any political...

I have to write a scene, as I want to get my mc arrested for assault, the charges being seemingly overwhelming and then the eventual vindication. In the scene, our mc, discovers a girl being groped on a bus, he then breaks the guy's wrist. The guy then accuses the mc of being the harassing...

I ended up pushing my hiatus status longer, soth that I could fix a singular issue I have been having. My character has the dreaded system, originally it wasn't going to be very original, however I have since tweaked the idea like this, so feel free to use it if you like: *The system is an ai...

Since I started the journey of writing a novel I've strove for chapters of 1000 words each... that actually ruined my story. So I erased it and started over. Here is what I've learned Plan out the story: it's OK to have fly-by-wire stories, but knowing where it's going and where it's been will...

So, I've been rewriting my story Sonata of Lust, including a name change to Sonata of Life or Love haven't decided. Admittedly I hadn't gotten very far, but I felt the direction I had been heading was a dead end. I currently keep a story bible (aka a file of notes, character sheets, plot ideas...

Had an idea for a story. The protagonist is a isekaied genius, spent his life studying and tinkering with technology to the point he is convinced he could kick start an industrial revolution. As this thought occurs he dies, and ends up reborn in the American south in 1789, but slavery doesn't...

I've been toying with a couple of story ideas. Both of them in a pre industrial parallel world. Haven't been able to decide if my mc should be the only person with magic or not. Also want to use a system, but not one that is too cliché. I'm thinking that it will simply just give him quest, in...
