So, I've mentioned this before in other threads, but I'd thought I'd make a thread to ask for a change in the 5-star system used on SH and add my reasoning to it. Apologies if this has already been discussed and turned down. Going by the number of threads about 1-star ratings and trolls I've...

Maybe add in a quick spoiler for the boys season 2 epp 5 at the start of your post? I'll comment after I've seen it.

and the ones consigning the hero and villain to that hell are considered 'good'? Dang, those are some twisted views. I mislike ye olde redemption arcs and I loathe the 'Goody goody hero trusting the villain to be good deep inside' trope. I'm not into reoccurring villains, so offing them is fine...

Main page problems... I'll trade you my 5 stars for your trending slot?

Yeps, perfectly normal. Doesn't even have to be a troll, on average people who don't like your story for whatever reason will give you the lowest score, people that do like your story will give you the highest. Any other score is often people who want to take the time to nuance their scoring...

I'm in the dislike the goody too shoes camp, I loathe the 'I'm so good I can make others see the error of their ways' crap. but I don't like the enforced edginess types that came around in the 90's. I utterly despise most main Dc movie, excepting the keaton and nolan batmans. I did like...

Realy? I did not know that. It's been a while since I went to school, but I'm pretty sure that the companies I still deal with ( a few English, Dutch & a Romanian one) still use the masculine in their official communications. Make me wonder what happened to ye olde 'Dear Sirs' for addressing a...

I'll weigh in on this if it'll help. While I haven't been here long, I think the answer to your question is 'about as cool as they are with any person.' And yes, there will be people that think other people are mentally deficient. And yes, there will be novels with people who are just used as...

If you're still looking for things to fill your list, i'd appreciate honest and public. Need feedback to improve. cheers. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/156349/shift/

uhm, I have to disagree with you there, on RR you're not considered an author unless you've had a few 0,5-star bombs. It's become so common that it's now a badge of honor. No matter where you post, there will always be people who have some reason to give a story the lowest rating. The reasons...

To be fair, I'd already planned on doing my rewrites after my first 200k words or so, I just bumped it up because I'd made a huge mistake. I'll probably take another look when I'm another 200k words further in. But yea, I love my story, and want to get it as perfect as I can.

I just finished my rewrites. I had 140k words into Shift and then noticed I'd created a huge problem for my MC's future development. My chapter length varied from 2.2k to 5k+ wordcount making the reading less smooth. I'd also improved a lot if I do say so myself. I sketched out my issues...

I agree that Grammarly is great, even the free version is worth it and should be standard kit for any author if you ask me. I invested in the professional version and it's helped me a lot. tip: If you want the professional version, download the free one and within a few weeks of activity...

Best one with a male protagonist I've read is He who fights with monsters. It's great. Best female protagonist has to be A practical guide to evil followed closely by A journey of Red & Black over on RR. Both brilliant. Also neither are on SH. Still brilliant though.

As long as there is a system in place where the score is the average of; people that like our novels (who have to decide between 3, 4 or 5 stars, depending on how much they like it) and people that dislike or want to troll who give 1 star, it'll always be a meh system that'll mainly frustrate...

Ah cheers, fixed it. Should be good now.

I started posting my story last week and have sheduled a two chapters per day, but none of them seem to post at the right time. Is this a timezone issue or is something else wrong? It's 09:23 pm here now (CET), so my sheduled chapter should have posted 22 minutes ago, but as you can see from the...
