    Thoughts On My Cover Art?

    Thanks, a lot of people on the site bashed my cover a while back. I like it's simplicity. It tells you all you need to know.

    Thoughts On My Cover Art?

    I think the left one is a lot more artistically interesting. In my personal opinion I'd be much more likely to click on the left one than the right, as the right one looks rather generic to me.

    Fandom

    My perception is that it's mostly focused on more Eastern writing styles. I haven't found a lot of other larger fandoms on the site. I'm trying to attract any furries on the site but I'm not sure they're really here.

    Post a paragraph!

    The snow was perfect that day. Not too soft, not too hard. Not too warm, not too cold. The bleak January weather had even been welcomed by the sun faintly appearing in the sky. This is the very beginning of my story, Dog Boy

    Billionaires planning the to survive the apocalypse.

    Did you read... just anything from my post? Space is not a paradise you can escape to. It is an unforgiving void. If you want to "escape" the best environment you can hope for is what amounts to an antarctic research station. The reason we stopped going to the Moon and advancing in space was...

    Billionaires planning the to survive the apocalypse.

    I'm sorry if I'm tough on this question. When I was thirteen years old, I thought NASA was on the verge of dying. We were no longer going to the Moon, we no longer had the space shuttle, and had to pay Russia to take us to the international space station. Somehow, SpaceX, Rocket lab, and...

    Billionaires planning the to survive the apocalypse.

    I'm going to be frank. I don't care about the billionaires, but I do care about the future of science and technology, and will not stand idly as people try to take down commercial spaceflight because some stupid journalist at the New York Post or something told you billionaires want to "escape"...

    New tropes

    Lol I'm sure that in the whole online novel space there's gotta be plenty of straight fiction.

    Tips for finding more readers on SH?

    Does everyone seriously think that my cover is a stock image? One that I actually drew in illustrator? Dadgummit whatever I don't give a crap about trying to do what y'all want here, as it obviously is for an extremely different audience.

    What happens at the age of 24?

    My guess might be some sort of law in certain territories that gives them the right to push you this scam if you are over 24. But yeah it's kind of weird, kind of like how there's certain laws with cars where you can't do certain things until you're older - but that at least I know is based off...

    Tips for finding more readers on SH?

    if the suggestion that follows is "make my story into a light novel, name it something like "I'm turning into a dog and now I'm involved in an international conspiracy???" I'm not doing that. At risk of really offending some people here, I find such titles rather hacky and shouting in your face...

    Tips for finding more readers on SH?

    So I feel that my novel has been doing pretty decently on SH so far. I think I have a decent blurb, a good cover, I have a rigid schedule of releasing a chapter every other day - my question is if there are any other bits of minitua that I might be missing that can help. Are there certain tags...

    Relatively new here and could use some help

    For all writing needs, I recommend this creative writing series by author Brandon Sanderson. It's focused on sci fi and fantasy, but it has application in all genres. It has helped me substantially, and I'm certain that the video on plotting will help you a lot...

    Your opinion on the Over Abundance of Isekai?

    I just write what I want and don't really give a da** about what's popular. The thing I personally wonder is why then are we not seeing more traditional high fantasy excluding characters from Earth? And further, why is it these isekai are following such rigid paths when the broader genre of...

    Unreliable Biased Feedback

    I'm confused, are you saying you require it to be Gender Bender or you are excluding it?

    Why is my chapters per week wrong?

    I am uploading chapters on my story every other day, but the counter still says that I update only once per week? Why isn't this correct?

    Writing Genre Deconstruction

    "Deconstruction" is a very nebulous term that will mean many different things to different people. Broadly I'd say most would agree the definition is "doing something different than is usually done in a genre" - others might describe it as taking the genre's elements apart and examine them -...

    Are You Still You?

    Well it's a bit of a ship of theseus situation. Kind of like how your body completely regenerates its cells multiple times in its life. I'd say yes, personally.
