The closest I do to a commentary would be a small afterword at the end of each 'Book' where I give a short window into my thoughts on the current state of the story and how I feel about it. usually, I do this in the form of an Author's Note at the end of the chapter, and I plug my Patreon at the...

Should look up the different definitions of love. That might answer your questions.

Well, everyone has their own process. That you did that much is still impressive, when most stories barely do even a fraction of that. Just, uh, yeah. I stand by what I said earlier. I do think it's more important to write and get it out rather than to stall out, so don't beat yourself up over it.

Oh wow, a million words? I usually edit in ~80,000-120,000 word chunks and that's already hell as it is. Between correcting mistakes, clarifying sentences, and realigning characters or scenes, I can't imagine doing that much in one go. You'd almost be better off just not bothering to edit it...

That's a shame, but hopefully those numbers will go up. Especially if you keep at writing.

How much of that viewership has transitioned to your Patreon, assuming you have one? Any noticeable uptick? Also, congratulations on the 100 readers.

Action and reaction can be considered the rule of thumb. What does Character A do, how does Character B react, so on so forth. Additionally, in reality fights tend to be rather short. Boxing matches are a great example, with each major clash being equivalent to a round of boxing followed by a...

Yeah, which was a big reason for why a lot of people in the community referred to each other as being on the spectrum. Especially since there were methods and ways to identify and rectify areas they were weak in so they could function in normal society. Yeah, a lot of people back then hated how...

Yeah, I figured they were both under the umbrella term of Neurodivergent. Wasn't aware both were still in use in the today, I knew Autism was, but I don't hear Asperger's as much as back then. I know in the early 2000's it caused a lot of contention since there was a big difference between the...

Eh, I think the tag existing is kind of strange. In the same way, I'd think a neurodivergent tag would be worse. I mean, back in the day they'd use Aspergers for higher functioning individuals, and Autism for lower functioning, if I'm remembering right, I might have gotten my wires crossed here...

Depends, I can just about keep up with the releases, which is about 3 chapters per week while maintaining a decent sized reserve. I write about, 3,000 words a chapter too, which works to about 10,000 words a week. Depending on the arc I'm on, and the chapters, I can write a good number of...

You do it by chapter then? I do it by batch. I'll write about 30 chapters worth of content, roughly a book's worth of material before I go back and do my first pass of editing. First pass is me checking things over, making sure I didn't make any major mistakes before pressing on. I'll then...

It might be because you have a smut story. I'm a lurker myself, so, I can't say much, but I'd imagine people wouldn't want to engage too much with that kind of material, publicly at least. I'm also not entirely sure how the analytics work on views and such, so, yeah, I don't have much more to...

Is this your first story? If so, the best you can do is just keep up consistent updates. Even when the story finishes, it'll keep generating views and readers as long as you post a new story, and as more people discover you. As you build a reputation, your base will increase. That's at least...

Oof, Paypal has a 180 day return window usually. You might be able to call and see if an associate can help you out, but since it was so long ago, and since paypal is a third-party company technically, the money is likely gone. You might get lucky with PayPal if they confirm the user has a...

Oh, that sucks. If you don't mind me asking, how did you pay? If it was through paypal, you might be able to get your money back if it wasn't too long ago. If over a card, you might be able to dispute the charges with your credit provider, assuming you don't dispute very often.

If you're asking for a judge, the styles vary too much between the three examples you gave. Though, just with how they approached you, it's likely to be a scam. If your still not sure, see if they can't name specific scenes from your story they wanted to do or what scene specifically inspired...

Might be jumping in a bit late here, but... I mean, I can kind of see what you're saying, but I think you're also making a bit of an assumption. Yes, it's very much monkey see, monkey do, in regard to just how many MTL stories there are. People read them and think that's how a story is supposed...

That's fine. As I said no pressure. I do look forward to working with you again in the future!

Yeah, call-outs like this can also help deal with scammers. Rather, it can help keep people honest. Not to mention, having people to vouch for your work can help quite a bit when it comes to setting the initial trust. I think pride might be a factor as well, since a lot of people wouldn't be...
