    Characters/Events/Items in your stories that reference Mythology/History

    I've always been interested in pre-WW1 Europe as a setting, and two of the countries which will be featured in my story is based on Austria and Hungary following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire :blob_cookie:

    How do you create a story banner?

    You have to create your banner, then upload your image onto a site (like discord) and insert the link into your signature. I'm not too sure about the dimensions tho.

    I can't even surpass a story that updates zero times a week and only has three chapters

    Every chapter you write is one step closer to surpassing your rivals, got to keep up the grind and write :blob_cookie:

    the problem with originality

    Hey, this doesn't just apply to stories. Most people say that the iPhone is the first modern smartphone, but the iPhone itself isn't an original idea...it's just how brilliantly Steven Jobs marketed it to the world. I doubt any story is truly original anyways, it's all about perception and how...

    Toilet thoughts: How do you "characterize"

    you can try creating character info sheets and ask yourself what will each character think and act in so and so situations, their morals, ambitions etc. A big part of characterization is also letting your characters react in a way readers will expect them to react to the plot instead of forcing...

    What are some realistic powers that can possibly exist in our world?

    I want to write a reverse isekai story and basically, I want to ask what's a 'cheat' power that the MC can have (context: he's a Hero in his own world, so preferably hero-like powers) which won't make the average person go "WTF did I just witness". Perhaps at most they'll be like "hold up...

    What does this mean

    There's also 0.2, 0.4 and so on for pageviews, which begs the question of whether an author viewing their own story should be considered 1 view or a decimal :blob_cookie:

    Real names.

    My real name has a Chinese origin, so imagine having such a name in a certain society outside of China... But it has a meaning to it that probably only I, my parents and native chinese will understand, so that's cool

    Side Story Chapters Lower?

    Hmm there is a drop in views, but I feel like it's not too much of a concern. Personally I don't read side stories myself lol so wtv.

    Weeby inflections in writing

    I don't mind it, but I find it redundant outside of characters' dialogues and formal introductions.

    Which POVs do you like the most? Why?

    I'm fine with both since they have their advantages, and in fact, I use both 1st person and 3rd person POVs in my story lol. It makes the POV change from one character to another more distinct

    Need feedback from people who love reading GL smut

    I'm just gonna preface this by saying that I have very little experience writing explicit R-18 scenes. Usually I draw the line at kissing and teasing, but for a future chapter I'm writing such a scene between two secondary characters (both girls) and since this isn't my forte at all, I'm hoping...

    What is more important, plot or character?

    I actually prefer plot over characters, especially those stories that have a subtle underlying story hidden in the main story if you get what i mean. Kinda ironic that my own story is character-driven because, well, I wanted to try writing one in a JP LN style
