I'm not depressed and even I get annoyed at the advice given to depressed people. Go make friends and join a club? Yeah, there's no one in my area in my age group (everyone is either much older or much younger) and no clubs whatsoever or even places to sit and eat. One thing I do wish to see a...

Realizing that all the work I've done in the last five years has amounted to nothing has not been a fun time

You can do more research. There are people who broke down the contract and explained how dangerous they were. I would say don't get mixed up with them. They tend to send those emails to new writers who don't know better

the actual contracts themselves are horrendous. people lose the rights to their stories and even their names when they sign

I hated that whole thing about having a female led story be automatically put in the romance category when none of my female led stories have much, if any, romance at all. Violence? Yes. Mystery? Yes. A literal journey to kill the king of gods? Hell yes. Romance? Not unless you count a few side...

I have some stories finished and some with chapters written in advance

I'm trying to find a middle ground with both, writing what I like and what my audience likes

:sweat_smile: I had about 40 chapters written at that point and no intention of changing major plotlines. Editing? Yes. Major story changes? No

I figured it might be a troll. I was just a bit disappointed because 1 star on the first chapter of my story I'm sure discouraged new readers. I have a 4 star rating now though

Would someone really do that? Seems petty to me and like unnecessary trouble

I got a one star rating on the first chapter of one of my stories. It was the first story I posted here and it was the very first chapter. Just a one star rating. No reason behind it. I still don't know what sin I committed to get a one star rating on the first chapter but for a long time it was...

Injuries that stick. I hate it when a character gets stabbed in the stomach and walks it off. [I've read that a few times] Or when a character gets stuck and when the others ask them about it they say they'll be fine in two days [a scene from a show I really like did that a few times] I don't...

I've always found that first person makes the protagonist sound childlike and immature. I like third person limited in general but I've seen some people write in third person omniscient and that was enjoyable. It's a hard POV to write in. I actually like second person more than first which...

Thanks for taking a look at the story. It's a little hard to make that character in particular active in the first chapter due to her role as a slave. She makes that decision at the end of chapter 2. Originally they were one chapter but I thought it was too long and split it

Okay, I think I got it. Thanks

I cross post to Royal Road but the numbers aren't much better there Lately I have been trying to upload at different times of the day but I haven't seen a difference in numbers yet I'll have to take another look at the tags. Phoenix tells the vast majority of the story but it's about the both...

I don't write Naruto fanfiction...

I have most of those except smut

I'd like to know too because even with daily uploads I haven't been getting many readers to my story

I totally get this and I've been writing and posting for years. It's made worst by the fact that most of my beta-reader feedback tends to be negative but I love my stories so much that I have to share them and I think they're fun. I usually write so far into the story that even if I do get bad...
