    Is there a way to tell what is indie writer work here and what is translation?

    I wouldn't necessarily call that theft unless that person was trying to pass it off as their own. I mean press releases get all kinds of reprints and in different languages. Honestly until you mentioned it, I didn't consider reprint. I was more thinking about stealing the intellectual...

    Getting to know each other.

    Well, let's see. I live by the beach (I'm seriously like 50 yards away, I hear the waves off my back deck even now.) - Human Female / 55 / colored hair - currently purple / hazel eyes / very very very much a lesbian / Constitution : 3 ie I'm fairly messed up up health wise. / have a medical...

    Is there a way to tell what is indie writer work here and what is translation?

    It still boggles my mind that anyone would translate and plagiarize. It's not like you get any sense of satisfaction from it. This isn't high school or college, there's no due date. What they want to be a legend of book stealing? See how that worked out for milli vanilli. I dunno, seems like...

    What even is "bad grammar"

    "Conjunction Junction what's your function, hooking up words phrases and clauses..." School House Rock for the win.

    LLM is everywhere.

    I completely understand. I should apologize again, mainly because I suspected that your explanation might have been the case. All the same, everything is cool. And this was a 100% human response ??

    LLM is everywhere.

    I might be reading way too much into this, and if so, I apologize now. No, I don't use any AI, I'm not sure why you said that I "still do" when I've never touched it. As to the "it's kinda nice to.." That bot/AI isn't real. It's an empty compliment that's utterly meaningless because it's not...

    LLM is everywhere.

    I guess I am just so old that I never looked at AI as anything I ever waited to use. I used notebooks until I was in high school back in 1984, then I used word processing programs. See, using AI cuts against everything I like about writing. I love the brainstorming, I love creating a...

    Need recs(Vampy fics)

    I just saw this. You are such an amazing friend. Thank you so much for recommending me. ?? No AI what so ever Girls Love, mostly monagomus. Amber & Vasia kinda steered is way into poly, but it's by no means harem. Modern day with flashbacks Erotica. Each one can be read independently, but...

    It's a new novel. I Just want a three chapter comment swap. I'll be really grateful.

    Above all, have fun exploring her path. I deeply miss both Vivienne and Sylvie at this point. While I am happy that I finished both novels, I am rather sad that I have to part company with 4 characters that have been with me for almost 3 years. When you've updated everything, I will take...

    It's a new novel. I Just want a three chapter comment swap. I'll be really grateful.

    If it were me, I would ask myself how important the prologue was to the story. If you're intending to have the same information later, like it is now then sure pull it out. If you want to use it to establish her quick situation and why she's on that cliff, then it's just fine. After having...

    It's a new novel. I Just want a three chapter comment swap. I'll be really grateful.

    I took the time and read everything with said story that you asked for a review on. First, I am not a brutal person in the least. This is also just my own opinion and it can be wrong, so there's that. Second, you don't need to read over anything of mine. I mean you CAN read my things, but not...

    What's your least liked or most hated part of writing?

    Admitting that my editors are sometimes right. I get it in my head that "this is the way I see it and it's fine." Unfortunately, that's not the case... Quite often. My biggest example was the fact I had to actually break down and rewrite much of chapters 1-8 of Vivienne because I didn't want...

    As a new writer is it alright to work on 2 or 3 stories at a time?

    It's really in what you can handle and produce at any given time. I have only recently started 2 at a time. Recent being within the last year. There's no hard and fast rule, I mean I've followed authors that will put out 3 stories in a week and update them fairly regular. Don't put...

    I just started writing, any tips will be helpful.

    My advice is pretty basic really. It's things you likely already do, but are pretty important. Develop the plot, define the characters. Have an overall vision of what you want the story to accomplish and then outline as you go along to make sure you are keeping a decent pace toward your goal...

    Have you ever been so invested in a story you cried? (twist) (rant)

    I would like to think that everyone has read something that has moved them in such a way that makes them cry - even a little. I have and often. I am a huge sucker for a lovely romantic scene. If the writer can bring the setting, internal feels and set it up right? I am a crybaby. Now, I don't...

    Rules regarding chapter titles?

    I wouldn't use the word 'Stick'. . . . . . Yeah, that was terrible. I'm not good at making jokes.

    Romance or Fantasy?

    Romance. It makes your heart go gooey and sometimes even makes you cry. It's that touch of excitement and reality where you want the same lover's bubble bath that the characters are in. -sigh- I've read Fantasy pretty much my entire life (a very long time since I'm over 50). Having said...

    Which comes first, the theme or the story?

    I wrote one genre anyway, so my themes are typically close to one another. What honestly happens is I will see the couple together in a moment. That moment ends up being what I work through to develop the entire story. I hear the Characters names, see their past and then develop the plot...

    How Long Did It Take For Your Work To Reach 1k Views?

    I don't honestly look. I just write, schedule release days (I use MWF 14:00 EDT) and just let the chips fall. As to trending, I think that's purposefully not explained so it's not easily manipulated.

    Anyone contacted by lunarwrites team?

    I get contacted at least once a month and it's the exact same message every time. I don't know how true the publisher is, I think it smells scammy. That's just me. I don't do much other than ignore the email.
