If we're being really precise, I haven't said a single word about dropping my current story... it's just moving incredibly slowly and sometimes feels quite forced. But I get your point & the answer to all of your questions is (as you said) "it depends". It's also been two months since my last...

There can never be enough giant robots.

No. Eden Zero/Fairytail was just the first example in my head, where characters have been (obviously) reused. But between the lines - the answer is: Just so whatever you like...it's your characters. :D

My greatest strength is probably also my greatest weakness - my personal dissatisfaction with everything I produce. Why strength? Because I don't publish anything I'm not completely satisfied with. So I only publish things that meet my own personal standards of quality & this is probably my...

I'm just wondering - what's the general opinion on reusing characters? I'm wondering because I'm not really getting anywhere with my current story (partly due to time constraints, partly due to lack of creativity and personal dissatisfaction) and I'm thinking of maybe starting another/new story...

when I was young - Attack No. 1, Captain Tsubasa, Sailor Moon...I'm old, I know

I personally don't mind self-promo as there is promo for some good or interesting stuff I would probably miss. This promo here is definitely on the "thanks but no thanks"-scale and I tried to read a few chapters...~130 words per chapter, massive linebreaks to stretch the "story", there was even...

I can fully understand that. I write all my stuff down in Google Docs so that I can do it easily across multiple devices...and reformatting on SH then takes me a good 15-20 minutes for each chapter, just to delete all the pointless line breaks and to correct at the end whether it still looks the...

Thank you for that. I've been thinking about how to make good use of this area, and I actually associate a glossary with something completely different. But this area makes perfect sense.

Yes. - imo SCs can be even more important than the MC, esp. when the MC is not an overpowered superhero, who can save the world with his little finger. I personally love to introduce my SCs properly and don't mind to give them the space they deserve as they have to carry bigger parts of my...

Sarcastic small woman with inferiority complexe

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear is changing the POV from time to time to show things from the perspective of e.g. Fina. They usually dedicate 1:n chapters and use this solution to provide more details about the more important NPCs or villains. But in that case, it is not really a time jump, it's more a...

I don't mind paying people to sketch my characters, but as I didn't know how long my motivation will keep up, I simply used fotor to create my pictures. Worked out quite well, as long as you ignore things like fingers. :D

At the moment I mainly have AI-generated images of my main and secondary characters and a rough plan of where the plot should go. There are also rough plans for the backstories of each major NPC and their abilities. Everything else evolves over time, and I also realise that I need this...

No one stops you from reworking it? I don't see the problem. I had 15 chapters prepared before posting the first one. Took me a month...but I write for myself and was looking for a place to share it with some friends of mine as reading in a google docs was not the best way to go. They are...

I would rather say - try to use the names as correctly as possible. My example above just doesn't sound right to me as a native German speaker.

That's a good point. My personal highlight was "Wendelin von Benno Baumeister" from "Hachi-nan tte, Sore wa Nai deshou!" You will find really disastrous name constellations, especially if the story somehow goes in the direction of European nobility. Definitely - but that applies in both...

That's how I'm doing it at the moment & what I meant by the "cheap way". I jump forward in time for a few days, summarise the few important things and continue with the main story. The good thing is that it also gives you the flexibility to let your character grow, as you can level up your...

It can work - GoT is a great example of a multiple "main lead" story. I suppose your question is indirectly promoting your story (:P) - it depends on what you want to achieve in the end. Quick feedback after reading your 3 chapters: I've had a quick look at your story, and from what I can see...

I did a bit of research before deciding on one of the sites and SH came out on top in my (quick google) research. Had a quick look at the other sites, but something was off-putting for everyone. With Wattpad, it was definitely the possibility of being able to comment on every single...
