    What does your playlist look like?

    What does your playlist look like? How many songs do you have in there? What types of music? How old is it? When do you listen to it? My playlist is my liked playlist on Spotify, if I have a song I like I try to find it there. It is about a decade old, perhaps more, the first songs I have in it...

    Textures that you can’t stand.

    There are a few more obscure hard to describe ones for me, but sticky things, foods, surfaces, etc. gross me out. The texture makes me wanna barf, and as a frycook I am never too far from grease… I learned I hated this when I was 5 trying to eat a glazed doughnut. Another one is unpolished...

    Sometimes this happens when I try to write a message on my profile.

    When this happens it will occasionally crash Safari, and will always lag my browser quite badly. The closest thing I can think of to replicate it is click on the text box while my profile page is loading. It doesn’t always happen, and I haven’t tried purposely recreating it. I am on an iPad...

    Translation tag in content warning or genre

    With the amount of unreported translations on the site filling up the trending tab, I think few folks know that when posting a translation here on SH they are supposed to report it as a translation. If instead we had a content warning or genre tag saying it is a translation and if all series...

    Here is an asexual quiz what are your results?

    I don’t really identify or not identify as ace, I wouldn’t care if you called or didn’t call me ace. Personally I just identify as sexually and romantically indifferent. Nonetheless here are my results. https://www.idrlabs.com/asexuality-spectrum/test.php

    What are your though?ts (A Style Retrospective)

    I was rereading my last publicly available story, and was quite gratified at its quality and amazed at its consistency. It definitely imo, seemed cliché at points, but was quite good nonetheless. The story however was clunky imo, it was interrupted by the so called timeline chapters way too...

    Whom is your favorite Batman villain and why?

    Bit bored so here is a question. Who is your favorite Batman villain? Mine is either the Riddler or the Scarecrow. The Riddler, when done right, is smarter or just as smart as the Bat, but limits himself by using riddles. The whole gimmick is he is trying to outsmart Batman with one arm behind...

    On writing a fight/action story from a tired reader.

    This advice/suggestions is from a tired reader who has read too many pointless action scenes, feel free to ignore. It is for stories that are primarily action. For every fight scene there needs to be stakes/consequences, if there is no stakes consider cutting out the fight scene. Not doing so...

    When rating something do you see a 5/10 as average or failing?

    Personally I think the average is a 5/10, like string cheese. Not bad, but not good. A 4.9-4 is below average, like 3d Beserk. Above average is 5.1-6, like Terror in Resonance. I think you get the picture. Where this method shines is when you get to stuff from 8-10. Normally people use 7/10 as...

    Rough draft of first chapter. Thoughts, suggestions, and can you figure out the mystery.

    Please tell me your thoughts and suggestions. Also, as the title says. I know what the mystery is, but can’t tell if I have given it away by being too heavy handed, or if it is uninteresting, or if I am doing it correctly. Anyways, here is the

    This scene is missing something, what suggestions do you have?

    Just finished writing this scene, but feel as if it is missing something: ——— A hand grabbed my shoulder. “Remember Jake, we are meeting in the cafeteria at eight in the morning.” My dad whispered before laughing and patting my back. “Don’t be too late, we won’t miss Wen’s concert for you...

    On naming the main character/point of view characters

    I really have a dislike of reading stories where the MC has my name, so I try to avoid popular names when coming up with a mc’s name. So instead I try to string together random syllables until it sounds like a name, I used to translate two words into two different languages and try to mash them...

    I don’t think I will ever finish this story, nonetheless I am giving it to you to read…

    This is a story that I wrote into 100 walls. It is disjointed and feels like it is going in 20 different directions. It has some of my best writing, trapped in all of that. I am certain a more confident or experienced writer could bring the story justice, none the less here it is. Please share...

    Does this make sense and would you read/participate in it?

    Here is a first chapter in a new interactive story I am preparing. I wanna know if the rules make sense, if the scenario is too short, and if possible would you participate in it when I have it ready.
