much appreciated. The main reason I was thinking on switching over to 1st is because yeah, it's real world kidnapping, imprisonment, etc. Not glorifying it or anything, but... Yeah, real dark and it might hit a little close for some. Definitely worth a trigger warning if nothing else.

I was actually planning more of a "You're the neighborhood kidnapper" type story. The original plan was a swap from chapter 1 in second to chapter 2 being first (since it's just a two-shot). chapter 2 is where the real horror would come in. But I'm thinking I might just full send on 1st. allow...

When your readers have time, I'd assume. It really depends. You have to consider if your readers are in US, AU, EU, etc. Are your stories meant to entertain? Afternoon in their timezone. Smut? Probably evening or really early morning in the reader-heavy timezone. Cookbook? Around late...

Just curious, What would you lovely readers think of this idea? A horror story, presented in 2nd person (you, you, you). However, 'you' aren't the protagonist/victim. You're the villain of the story. Or even a perspective shift. Two chapters, so chapter 1 would be second person, chapter 2...

I lover arcs, as it can show a clear power balance. if the characters only ever fight external forces, you can never accurately gauge "Character X is stronger than Character Y". But a tournament arc can show "Character Y is stronger, but X is smarter" when faced against each other. But as much...

I've browsed through that a bit. I do plan to expand to other sites eventually as well, but for now I want to post here. I've been a silent lurker for ages, so I want to contribute finally. Honestly? I was just going to treat it similar to a fantasy novel. Explain what needs explained, but...

all the time. I used to write in high school, and I would need to borrow the left hand of half the nation to count how many I've dropped. Most were fairly decent. I just don't have time to write as much as my brain would want me to. Even if I sat down and devoted 24/7 to writing, I likely...

Just wanted to touch base with all you wonderful people! I am looking to start publishing soon. The issue is, I can't quite decide how I want to break into this site. I've got a few options, and I wanted your opinions. My experience is fairly varied, but all of these are new to me, so please...

I'm still a novice (haven't yet published my first novel. Want to get a decent chunk done before I start posting) however... step 1: Eat some ice cream or froyo or whatever cold treat you like. I'm personally partial to frozen fruit mash. Step 2: Take a step back and do a hobby. I learned to...

I've seen a number of authors on here do it fairly well without dipping into NSFW. As others have said, even just a small cameo can be fanservice. A few series on here have done it (can't remember the titles right off the top of my head) by having one character cameo in a later novel. Like a...

It's possible. I mean, depending on the type of evil they are or the type of danger to the world. If they want to be the one to destroy it, they could save it as a means of "If I can't be the one, then neither can you!" A sort of "if I lose, so do you". Or you could frame it as "Hey, I'm evil...
