The F is for the friends we made along the way.

Feels like the general vibe lmao. I don't blame them. I've done the same. Dumped days reading a story, loved it. Act like a ghost.

Whenever I have to touch on darker, more personal subjects, I usually take what I’d call the Dennis-from-It’s-Always-Sunny approach. It’s all about the implications. I’m not comfortable writing those scenes in vivid detail (which is ironic, since I have no problem describing zombie gore). But...

I’ll be hitting my first month on October 2nd. There’s not much I can add that hasn’t already been covered by others here, but here’s what I’ve noticed so far. Having a fitting, anime/Light Novel-style cover really helps. I saw a solid increase in views after switching from a more thematic...

I started doing a bit more research and realized that, yeah, having a bigger backlog would make a huge difference. I think my growth is pretty healthy as is. And I'd say yours is very healthy as well! I've actually got your story in mind for future-reading. I'm still figuring out the website and...

That is super reassuring! I think I'm doing well (4.1k views, 40 favs, 7 readers. I'm not writing a LitRPG/System either) but sometimes the gaps between views, favs, and readers makes me a bit nervous. I just try to take it in stride. I'm three weeks in, give or take a few days, and I've...

Green Eggs and Ham. Imagine a twisted psychopath who stalks you, who is everywhere you go, demanding you try their weird green eggs. You can't escape. It shatters you. Finally, you give in. You pretend to like it so the psychopath leaves you alone. You are utterly broken.

Hello! A question for folks who’ve been writing originals here a while. What does healthy story growth usually look like in the first month or two? I know every story is different (genre, update schedule, etc.) but I’m trying to get a sense of what’s “normal” without comparing myself to huge...

Manipulation by a third party gotta be one of my all time goats. You can't go wrong with the secret villain manipulating the fake villain.

Dollar Tree/General having Christmas stuff on one isle and then Halloween stuff right next to it on the other isle pissed me off so much last time I went lmao. Where's the respect?? The class?? We used to STAND for something. Still bought my hot fries though.

I'm on mobile right now so sorry if there's any errors. If you're struggling to find inspiration don't force it. Writing rarely ever is a simple, one-shot process. I just got back into it after like a two year break. And that was after another big break. What matters is you don't give up. Don't...

It's a bit slow to start as I dig into the MCs head space and his current life a bit before the outbreak starts, but my story is a zombie-horror-anime flavor with a mood/vibe that isn't gamer/system related. More early TWD/2000s zombie horror...

Hello. :sweating_profusely: I’m rainchip (or just rain). I’ve been writing on-and-off for years and recently started posting my first original work: What Comes After. It’s a zombie-apocalypse horror/drama with psychological elements and anime beats focused on a group of mentally unwell...

Music really helps me. In-between drives and what not or when I get some time to myself. I visualize my story to music like they're AMVs in my head.

Fallout: New Vegas. Huge comfort game for me. I've spent so much time in the Mojave throughout the years. It's been there for me when I was happy, sad, bored, etc.

I'm going to try the poll/reaching out to any potential readers. I was worried maybe my content was too dark/depressing. I'm having a lot of success (at least I think) with my current story but it feels I can't find a way to engage with current readers. I'd just like to know their opinions as...

This actually helped quite a bit. That last one I kind of understand myself. It's fun to be a hater. :blobtaco: I'm also a fan of the classic evil/pure evil bad guys too. Probably just because there's been a huge influx of "I can fix them." characters.

Hello. I’ve been writing on SH for a little over a week now. In the past, I wrote crossover fanfics (Naruto x mainly) and had some success with them. But those always had the “safety net” of being attached to a well-known worlds. So engagement (favorites, comments, follows) came more naturally...

The fish would grow arms and legs and start walking on land. The cycle would repeat. :blob_ghost:

Depends on the fight/story. I'm not a genius or an expert in weapons and scientific fields and stuff so I pretty much just do a little research before hand and try my hardest not to break the suspension of disbelief in any direct ways that would go against established rules already set in the...
