    Who are some of your most memorable villains? (And why?)

    Seeing as how I've been working on the opening of Chapter 3 of Duskfall, and doing so introduces one of that series' main, recurring, antagonists it's gotten me thinking. Who are some of the most memorable villains my fellow authors here have created for their own stories and why were those...

    What do you think of this character introduction?

    I've got a bit of the opening of The Elarian Chronicles: Duskfall (Chapter 3) typed up and would like some feedback on the presentation and characterization of the character presented here. As for the feedback I'm looking for, I'm particularly curious about what kind of feelings he evokes in...

    How is this for a blurb/synopsis?

    I've finally gotten around to drafting up the (actual) blurb/synopsis for Aestelle Nocte, but would like a bit of feedback on it before I actually update the series with it. Does it deliver the hook well? How well does it set the stage? How well did I nail the five main questions: (Who, What...

    Editorial Critique Requests [OPEN]

    After a fair bit of consideration, I'm opting to open my own critiques thread for those who might be interested in getting thorough feedback and constructive critique on their stories. With my writing schedule, I will only be able to address a few full critiques every month at best, and I do...

    Aestelle Nocte - Chapter 3 Poll [Which chapter opening do you prefer?]

    Alright, I've finished up the quick rough drafts for the two most popular answers from Chapter 2's question ["Who is at the door?"]. All of which was received via DM's on Discord, or direct in-person votes from a few of my invested beta-readers, but the results were torn between two options...

    Fellow Authors, what do you do in your downtime? (When you're not writing)

    As the thread title suggests, I'd like to know what some of the rest of you do in your off-hours. Basically, the time that you're not writing. How do some of you spend it? Do you watch TV? Movies? Anime? Play games? etc etc? Any other hobbies or interests that fill those hours that you'd like to...

    What do you think of this fight scene opening?

    As the thread title implies, I'd like to get some feedback on this opening to the fight sequence in The Elarian Chronicles, Chapter 2.2. So yes, this is both a sneak peek at the upcoming chapter release, and a quick chance to give some feedback before the chapter gets published / released this...

    Would this kind of story interest you?

    Just had another idea pop into my head for a story. I don't have the time to actually write it at present with my other active projects, but I'm still curious if there happens to be any interest in the premise. The basic idea is a cross-over between Mech-Warrior, Lancer (The TTRPG), and Zoids...

    [18+] Requesting Feedback on Erotica Scene Lead-In Draft

    In compliance with the Forum rules, this thread is being tagged 18+, even though it does not feature any explicit sexual content (No explicit sex in the scene, just a detailed make-out bit and implicit direction towards sex). While personally, I'd say the scene would fall under the R-rating...

    For those who may be interested, or those who are already reading it, Chapter 1.2 for Duskfall (The Elarian Chronicles - Volume 1) just dropped and brings the total chapter length up to 9,051 words (divided into two parts for easier reading).

    Critique Requested - Aerial Battle Sequence

    As the thread title suggests, I'd like a critique on the aerial battle in my series, Aethara: The King's Path that occurs in Chapter 2. The sequence is broken into three parts here. The Opening, The Assault, and the Climax. While this is a nice chunk of the chapter, it is not the complete...

    Aestelle Nocte - Discussion Thread

    Adding this thread for my other story here since Episode 1: Chapter 1 just dropped a couple of hours ago. It's a beast of a chapter to be sure, as per the standard for my prose landing just shy of the higher end of my average (6500 words), and I do hope it delivers on everything that I've...

    Aestelle Nocte - Series Discussion and Feedback

    Okay. That new story, formally called Project H has a formal title now; released with Chapter 1 (as promised). The series is called Aestelle Nocte, and Chapter 1 is live.

    New Series just dropped

    My as-of-yet untitled light harem rom-com just dropped on Scribble-Hub. Called Project 'H' for the time being (pending an actual title), the story is a light harem-genre romantic comedy with a splash of science-fiction and filled with nerd-culture and otaku-culture references (for those who can...

    Writing New Story just dropped

    "Project 'H'", my new story project (#3 in my main three projects) just dropped on SH. It is pending a title, and synopsis, but is the result of an interesting idea that I had. Well, at least I thought it would be interesting and cool. Long story short, it's a light Harem Rom-Com with a sci-fi...

    Writing Which chapter title do you prefer?

    Okay, here's the situation. I'm debating between two (so far) title ideas for Aethara: The King's Path Chapter 2 that I honestly don't actually like. I've thrown the two options, as well as an open-ended one for folks to submit their own ideas. Chapter 2 primarily focuses on the aerial battle...
