    How to plan story arcs?

    Stories have a fractal structure. So while you are writing one story, that story is composed of smaller stories called arcs, and those arcs are composed of even smaller stories. You plan an arc just like you do a chapter, or an entire story, but on the middle scales instead of the smallest or...

    233 would be everything but the last 3 trophies. That is, they posted between 5,000-9,999 messages and did everything else.

    MC Villain who is the Übermensch

    I guess this is why one should try and plan a story in advance?

    Writing Does NOT Equal Endorsment!

    A story is one of the ways in which a human communicates. Then what does a human communicate in their story? Fiction stories certainly don't communicate physical, factual information, so it must communicate some form of metaphysical information. In other words, a story exists to communicate...

    Writing Does NOT Equal Endorsment!

    To be fair, if a story has an action and there is no consequence to that action, even much later down the line, then I'd argue that the writing does equal endorsement. Because you're saying, in your fictional world, that action doesn't have any consequences. You obviously have a lot of...

    Writing Prompt Save and Load power

    I grab a calculator and work out the numbers 01, 01, 01, 02, 04, and 22. Afterwards, I head to the lottery and buy my ticket. I mean, I gotta win one of these days, right?

    Just an observation

    I guess it prevents authors from posting chapter updates in other sections of the forum?

    Hypothetical: What is your chosen ceremonial melee weapon?

    Ceremonial weapons don't really mean much without the symbolism part. In this particular case, it sounds like the ceremonial weapon would more be used as a family symbol rather than anything else. In this case, probably a mace or dagger? They're small enough not get in the way, and retain the...

    The Asha Effect

    Maybe we can include a large number of cultivator MCs, since heaven's fated person always seems to have an attitude problem or two. Or eight. Unless all the authors are deliberately making them with the intent on them being as unlikable as possible?

    Have you ever thought, “What if my story never gets popular?”

    I second this. The only part I disagree with is that I don't think it's about finding something new. Instead, I find it to be about echoing something old.

    General Toe Stubbing Annual Survey

    I can't remember stubbing my toe recently, so probably either zero times or once.

    Is anyone else addicted to the Ranking?

    I used to be rank #6 in the superhero tag. Not because my story has a lot of views, but I just so happened to add the story right after the tag was added, so I had no competition. Now It doesn't even show my ranking in the superhero tag. I am ranked #83 in gangs though.

    Low attention span reviews and ratings [Closed]

    What if my first chapter's only five words long? Will you still give it 5 stars? Jokes aside, here: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/643320/does-this-system-want-me-to-become-a-villain/ If you feel unable to give me feedback, may I have the paragraph/sentence you stopped reading anyway?

    Tips for writing romance and (non explicit)physical affection?

    As a reader (not writer) of the fluffy SoL comedy genre, I have observed that everybody loves wingmen and wingwomen. They can push the ML and FML into awkward situations that would usually feel forced otherwise.

    What are the ultimate characters you had planned for next novel?

    Currently I like the idea of my next novel being about an inquisitor in a litrpg like world. He'd be very fanatical with a kill-all-the-heretics mindset. Of course, by the time I actually get to writing that novel in the next decade or two I might change my mind, because a large part of me...
