    Does the Gender Bender genre fit?

    it includes both willing and unwilling, intentional and accidental, magical or scifi or fantasy or supernatural. gender bender is literally just the bending of a characters gender as experienced by the reader, so if its never mentioned to the reader its not GB as we dont know something isnt as...

    How long should a regular chapter be?

    it seems to be a frequent misunderstanding of new writers that they have to conform to a very VERY specific set of rules. "write this much", "do it just like this", "absolutely never go near that". the only advice that can be given regarding chapter length, is to write until everything that...

    I am recommending a great novel.

    yup, they recommended it before on the 28th July. I don't see how 2 threads on the same thing by the same person is anything but spam at this point.

    Feedback on Diverge Summoning

    just remember that the definition of a real harem involves the main girl being okay and accepting of the polygamous relations (polyamorous). head wife has always been in control and its not a harem if she isn't fine with it (also I cant stand it when people treat SAO as a harem despite asuna...

    Feedback on Diverge Summoning

    on that topic, how real is the harem? is it an actual harem, or just named a harem in the sense there are multiple girls for the MC to engage with and pick from before he eventually settles on one? a big deterrent when it comes to stories tagged harem is that only half of them really have one...

    About the ranking system

    what exactly are you looking at specifically? currently most ranks are based on views. if you have more views you are higher in the list even if you receive worse ratings or less favourites than those below you. additionally, tags and genres themselves have ranks so if you include a tag that...

    Tips in writing a story

    focus on what story you want to tell then build on from there. plan enough to be able to go ahead with the story, but don't over plan such that you just end up procrastinating from writing said story. also be accepting of the fact that your plans will change. as you progress you will find that...

    Help Ai-chan prepare for NaNoWriMo early

    well, still don't know what competition you are talking about. but good to see another practitioner of "if you can't beat the cheaters. join them"

    Help Ai-chan prepare for NaNoWriMo early

    lol what exactly do you mean by cheating at nanowrimo? xD the rules are very loose and there is nothing saying you cant prepare ahead of time lol. and I don't think I know of the competition you are referring to either. got a link to it?

    Help Ai-chan prepare for NaNoWriMo early

    its not that everyone does it so it becomes tiring, in that case you're just looking in the wrong places. don't forget there are entire fanbases and circles dedicated to sci-fi, you just aren't finding them here, which is what led to your assumption I guess. I recently started the Harbinger...

    Help Ai-chan prepare for NaNoWriMo early

    Honestly, the title gave me a different impression than the content of your post, additionally I don't have much interest in Sci-fi, as a whole, so I won't apply for assisting you, but I wish you luck on the Nanowrimo all the same. (y)

    Sticky top bar/return to top

    Perhaps an optional setting for the people who don't want to lose parts of their screen to banners or buttons

    Editing Style guide to writing numbers.

    I agree with the guide... But will continue to write ignoring numbers lol. Too busy trying to get the write idea across to worry about being academically correct haha.

    Implemented Indication of Completed Stories

    Simply for ease of navigation I support this recommendation. Some people prefer to read completed works to those still ongoing, and having to load the main page for each novel makes it both tedious and a source of increasing blank view counts (without the views)

    When is a Chapter too Long?

    these questions are always fun because there is no single correct answer. It always boils down to 1) who is your target audience and intended Genre and 2) what do you feel most comfortable with. the first looks to precedent according to published books and what you typically find per genre...

    Implemented Fairer sorting of lists

    It's a good idea, but sorta feels like trending got crossed with recommendations somewhere. As for the stats, these would ultimately make it so only signed in users, or people who never clear their session would benefit from the filtering. Since unsigned guests would receive the default list...

    Feeling intimidated by the bombastic language people use in their stories.

    I would never change my writing style because of other stories I find. I would change it because its current style fails to accurately portray my vision to the readers. Only add in complicated wording if it feels appropriate to do so. The easier the writing is to understand, the larger a target...

    Implemented Fairer sorting of lists

    Regarding the mention of xians story, this was mostly occurring yesterday during which his story had held the position, which had obviously changed once midnight/the day passed. So the issue is less about who was topping the ranks, but whether or not a suggestion towards fixing the system was...
