    I summon the BL writers!

    I play them switch and let chaos commence! :blob_hide: More seriously, the human brain is wired to use context and word order to attach the correct meaning to pronouns. So long as you put a name or other hint about who's who in every now and again, your readers won't be confused. People will...

    Recommendations Looking for a magical girl story

    A fellow magical girl fan~! :blob_aww: Unfortunately, if you're searching for a traditional magical girl novel, I haven't encountered any here yet - just parodies and "dark" versions modelled after Madoka Magica/Magical Girl Raising Project.

    How to add atmosphere into a story

    It depends on what atmosphere you're trying to add. Generally, your toolkit will always comprise of the subtleties, such as the setting and the way you describe it, your choice of words, pacing, the small gestures characters do or do not make... Whenever I want to add a particular atmosphere...

    ? QUESTION : how do you properly write a Yandere mc?

    Hm... It depends on your type of yandere. Are they someone who tries to hide their yandere nature to fit in with society/trick the object of their obsession, or have they openly snapped? If it's the former, they'll be paying attention to how they're perceived and carefully picking their words...

    I summon the Queen of Yuri

    :blob_hide: Wrong title. By law, I think I now have to fight you to the death?

    I summon the Queen of Yuri

    Ai-chan is the one you have to fight for that title. No offense, but I don't really fancy your chances.

    Toilet thoughts: Soft masculine character

    It depends on what genre you're reading. Some genres are more likely than others to provide a fully-realised male character. (Like BL)

    is an Inexplicit protagonist gender too confusing for readers?

    It's not necessarily too confusing if it's written well, but I'd personally find not knowing the gender of a character to be less engaging, not more. Gender (or the lack of it) is a core part of someone's identity and guides how they interact with the world. It's a pretty major thing to have...

    How to know if a story is doing good?

    This only works if the main romance is GL. Otherwise, you'll end up with a lot of very upset readers.

    Need feedback from people who love reading GL smut

    This is pretty good! You give a lot of detailed description, you have both characters and their passion involved in the scene, and the sex itself is not unrealistic. I did find it a little confusing, since you seem to be switching between both people's perspectives instead of following one...

    Did someone else got the point of hating Chinese troupes? Why?

    I technically still enjoy them, but I read so much of them that they can now make me feel physically sick - like when you eat too much cake and someone offers you another. Unless it's an extreme inversion or a parody, I now try to avoid them.

    What is the best writing advice you’ve ever come across and take it to heart?

    You must first learn the rules - then you can learn how to break them. Also, take all writing advice with a heavy dose of salt. Many authors don't know what they're doing either and will just say whatever to assure themselves that they do and that they're very smart. So, considering how many...

    Does anyone here play GACHA games?

    I only play Genshin Impact. Husbandos: Traveller, Kaeya and Albedo are my main ones, but I also like Venti, Xiao, and Diluc. Waifus: I see Fischl and Barbara as adorable little sisters I'd kill to protect rather than waifus, but that technically ranks them higher in the waifu list than waifus...

    What genres do you dislike?

    (Meanwhile, I wrote my first smut at 12 or 13...) For me, the worst is sci-fi. I can't stand the obsession with technology and grimdark futures, nor the need to try and make everything sound scientific and rational. The aesthetic is pretty piss poor too. Fusions with fantasy can be nice if...
