    Crossovers on Scribble Hub???

    Not a full crossover and not on SH, but a friend has a character originally from my story's world that got isekai'ed into theirs. I think that can be a fun way to do it in canon because its relatively low maintainence on both of us whole still having a fun little easter egg connection. I'd be...

    Fairemont's Fair & Friendly Fiction Feedback

    Well, I posted in the other two new feedback threads, no reason to stop now lol - thanks for the opportunity! I've been posting for a while on other sites so I've got a lot of story and few reviews here, so you can put me lower on the list if you like since I do get feedback/reviews elsewhere...

    Gabrielle's Creative Corner Cafe!

    Dear Gabrielle, I am very intrigued by the prospect of three chapters being picked at random out of over a hundred for a review. I know it's not in your rules for things you dislike, but if you would like to know which chapters have explicit content to skip I would be happy to provide that...

    Ask Stone or Ink for Feedback. (Closeddd)

    I could go for an ink on my slice-of-life romcom, if it catches your interest! No worries if not lol (BL, no harem, first smut scene isn't until chapter 7 ish and there's only about one per 13+ chapters (or double...) after that sans side stories, and they're pretty telegraphed for skipping)...

    To authors who do worldbuilding. How big is your lore bible?

    I mean, a lore/story bible isn't an outline or plot record :blob_sweat: it usually includes an outline or plot notes, but it's often more about setting stuff if you have a lot of background lore and world building, it's a good way to keep track of details that might only come up occasionally so...

    Writing Anyone ever think about making their characters say something VERY out-of-pocket but stop yourself from writing it

    I mean, as long as it's in character for them to say something out of pocket, absolutely they will lol

    To authors who do worldbuilding. How big is your lore bible?

    I did just write a TTRPG based on the setting which is *basically* mostly the lore bible and that's like... 290 pages... and if you subtract the pages that are rules, you can just... substitute stuff from the wiki that didn't have a reason to be in the core rule book and probably end up about...

    Thoughts on someone leaving harsh reviews on your novel?

    As a note - most authors getting a "harsh" review likely aren't going to realize you're enjoying the story, especially if you only talk about the flaws. Others have already done a good job covering the "critique vs complaining" aspect, but just as an additional note, reviews that don't include...

    WHAT WOULD YOU DO? (to my fellow fiction writers as well as others)

    I have a character that canonically breaks the fourth wall and is a benign eldritch horror, so I'd go chill with it in it's multidimensional garden (hasn't had more than a brief appearance so far, but it's a fun one lol)

    Is Mecha BL Sci-fi not a thing?

    Yeah its true you're likely to get rating bombed for queer content in general there, but to their credit they will remove hateful written reviews (at least a good amount of the time for the obvious ones). But they won't do anything about reviewless star bombs mostly, since you can't prove why...

    Is Mecha BL Sci-fi not a thing?

    RR doesn't require a premium account to post NSFW, but it can only be a small part of the overall story. I want to say 10% is the rule? Something like that.

    How do you feel about protagonists who struggle on their journey to success?

    Struggle also doesn't have to be on the combat end - there are really great OP MCs that don't often struggle with their opponents (until late game story, if at all) that still end up as relatable because they have other struggles going on. ONE is really great at this, but he also uses OP MCs as...

    how much smut to be considered smut?

    depends - if it's very rare, it can give an opportunity to people who don't like smut at all to skip the chapter and still enjoy the rest of the work (some do this). while I don't have header warnings for most of my smut chapters, I have two characters into BDSM, so I give a warning for their...

    Webnovel Feedback Roasts For the Fearless

    Thanks for the feedback! I get what you mean by the cover, but this is the ninth cover and the only one where they kiss so far - I change them up pretty frequently, but I can only display one at a time on SH, so I'll take that hit until I change it again next week. Didn't start posting here...

    Pros, cons, & audiences of every writing/webnovel site[a continual discussion]

    I was very careful with my wording here for that reason, so I understand - in fact, I'll probably change it again, though I did specify nothing was proven, only suspected based on discrepancies Oh, and for Neovel, I was one of the authors in the discord when that happened, so that is not...

    Webnovel Feedback Roasts For the Fearless

    It's a "roast." Roasts aren't supposed to be kind, the whole point is being mean in an entertaining way. You already said you signed up for this, and you can literally read the past roasts to see what the style of review is. It's okay to be hurt, they're designed to hurt. Tempokai's entire...

    AI opinion

    Wow, it verbatim repeated exactly what I said in this thread where you already read it and added one clause of support I had included in my initial post. How amazing. The problem with using chatgpt to do research for you is the same problem with using it to write a story for you - it means you...

    Is writing a 'science' or 'art'

    I see your question, and I choose to raise: Is visual "art" an art or a science? Yeah, sure, it's in the "name" and everything - but what about all the technical aspects of making an appealing visual? Composition, lighting, perspective, anatomy, repetition, juxtaposition, contrast, etc? What...

    AI opinion

    I am personally against the use of generative AI (to be specific) use at all because of the significant harm it does to the environment compared to other computer processes and the unethical training methods used to train the vast majority of LLMs available. As others have said before, if you...
