    How does Envy attribute dialogue?

    The second dialog tag tutorial I've seen on SH, but I think this one does a better job in spite of being a fraction the size.

    Reader polls! Again! Fantasy Races poll!

    I second the sentiment that the key to interesting "fantasy" races in stories is not how often some particular morphology appears in other stories, but in how their culture develops given the difference in nature. Like, if goblins are naturally low empathy/high group cohesion, what does that...

    Elinor, from Sense and Sensibility. The one true waifu.

    So... I played some very old games.

    Starting to feel the creaking in your bones yet? :blob_evil_two:

    Audible AI Narration

    The DuoLingo voice model is unironically amazing, but I suspect it's a lot of work to make it sound as good as it does (in terms of telling the model when and how to emote and such). Given the lack of ready made training data (i.e. books with the sections already tagged), I suspect a general...

    Favourite Colour?

    I see only one other person gets to keep their kidneys. Green haters get the blender!

    how to acquire more readers?

    Tolkien? I didn't know you had a SH account! (on a serious note, asides from the last bit, this was probably all good advice)

    How would a fight between god's work.

    The actual answer to this question is, "However you want it to work." That said, one common method of having gods fight each other is through each other's followers (if your gods are built like that). They could have champions, or grant powers to mortal, or whatever. You have to design...

    Demi human questions

    So true. I miss stories where monsters are just monsters. They are way more interesting that way. In fact, I just remembered a really good one I read where the vampires were alien parasites (Necroscope, specifically the second one, Wamphyri (though I think they featured in all of them, I just...

    Demi human questions

    Clo is correct, but cringe. Every element in your story exists to support what you're trying to say with it. That's not to say you have to be regurgitating cliches about Current Thing™ (eg. racism, sexism, etc.), but you should still have some underlying point you're trying to make, even if...

    Writing Writing a Battle Scene

    I'm going to offer the controversial opinion and say one of the best ways to write a fight scene is not to. Unless a fancy power system or in depth tactical analysis is an essential element of your story, or at least you can use it as a vehicle for character growth, fight scenes are almost...

    I'm curious, what writing software do you (yes I mean you specially) use?

    Who needs fancy things like mouse support or context menus! We write like men! (I've actually never written a complete document in vim, and I keep forgetting how to save and exit, lol)

    ? **Last Call: Free Commission Slots Closing Soon!** ?

    Title: Nova Omega Author: LiteraryWho (aka, me, lol). Cover/Scene: I can suggest a pretty easy cover, or a pretty hard scene. For the cover, a simple sword, laid flat, glowing blue, with jagged splatters of silver behind it. Otherwise there's this really cool fight scene with a giant...

    Writing Build Up vs Spoonfeeding

    I suspect there's not a lot of Dickens fans around here, if you catch my meaning.

    fun fact, this also reveals the very male leaning demographics of SH

    I'll draw your novel covers! [FREE]

    Well, that's real cool of you. I actually have a few stories that could use covers, and I'm not 100% sure which to ask for, but I'll pick the one that I think will be most interesting to draw for (and is already posted on SH). https://www.scribblehub.com/series/515903/nova-omega/ This is a...
