For whatever I'm working on, it's always just to finish it. Dreams of grandeur only come about in the space between writing thing and starting next thing.

Very much depends on what you're actually trying to do with the story, and where the important bits are. If you're trying to justify how Killaxus Maximus can curb stomp the galaxy, you can cut it entirely. If you're telling the tragic tale of a group of carelessly isekai'd scrubs who come...

I prefer, both when writing and reading, to have as few details as are necessary to understand the scene. Even when I have a very clear picture in my mind of what a place looks like, I prefer to only include the details relevant to the action that's about to happen. If you took all my scene...

Vignette is the correct name (I believe it's pronounce like "vin yay"). OVA refers to an "Original Video Animation" which is a thing in anime where they make a short(ish) animated vignette. Also, yes, it's a good idea, both as a way to practice with the characters, practice your writing, and...

Wow, you got the elusive France to read one of your books! Also, you're shockingly popular in South America. These stats are all so cool. I wish they were available generally. I'd love to see who writes and reads the books in the top ten right now.

That is about the mix of readers I expected, asides from there being no Chinese at all (though maybe SH is blocked there?) and I'm honestly a little more surprised than I should be by the ratio of Americans. Also, where's France? How is Germany number 2, and France didn't make the list at all...

Every story I write has different inspirations, asides from the general inspiration that is seeing terribly written fiction and thinking, "I could do better." My first story was inspired by a variety of VG (esp. FFVIII, Deus Ex) , my second story was inspired by catgirls and the Gaia...

Don't drink much of either, but of the two I'm partial to tea. That said, if you're ever in England, make sure to do an afternoon/high tea at a cozy little tea house out in the country side. Back home I'll occasionally have Rooibos/Redbush tea, because it tastes like tea, but doesn't have any...

??? I caught that you were attempting to be funny, it was simply unclear where the humor was supposed to be Alcoholic, Russian in profile. Checks out.

Yeah, that definitely makes sense, because everyone knows the racial stereotype of Malaysians is that they write Web Novels?

I wonder what country it would have to be in to get the most attendees? I always assume most of you are from Malaysia or the Philippines.

Good writing makes me want to read more, bad writing makes me want to stop. For a less circular reason, I hate when the narration wastes my time with pointless description of the scenery, I hate it when the POV character is whiny, stupid, or boring, and I hate it when characters mill around on...

The only character of mine (from any story) I'm qualified to take the role of is also the one who goes through the worst shit, so I think I'll pass, thanks.

I love earth 2160. It's so janky, and the story was hacked together by cave trolls, and the alien faction is total BS. It's great :D

Supreme Commander

Somewhat like having the teeth sawed out of my skull. Oh, you meant like that. Oh, I dunno, I just think stuff, and then write it down.

The best writing advice I ever got was actually workout advice, and I didn't so much get it as overhear it, but, "Write." Or, to elaborate, I'll give it to you as workout advice, and then translate it into writing advice. So, if you want to develop a good habit of going to the gym and working...

Star Wars prequel novelizations?

It's funny how the op specified "no crazy shit" and half the respondents are like, "I'd do crazy shit!" Anyway, I'd go do what literally everyone else would do, and get a new job. I'm thinking town guard, sounds fun. So, if AP means ability points, I'd pick through the list until I got some...
