Adding recs to a list. Thanks guys.

Even if that technology existed, I'm not sure it would help as much as you'd think 😅 Some people use speech-to-text, but if I did that, the amount of editing required would drive me crazy. I could only imagine every unfiltered thought making it to paper. Sometimes I'm editing and I have to...

Free time definitely seems like the biggest issue for most writers. Whenever I read about authors that launched an entire story while working a 9 to 5, it blows my mind. I mean, most people have 16 hours of waking time, and a 9 to 5 easily removes 10-12 hours from that pool, and that's before...

I think the hardest part of writing is the editing. Not only is it likely you'll have to do it multiple times, but when you already know the twists and turns of your own story, it can be easy to go on autopilot when what you really need is greater focus than when you wrote it. As far as woes...

The story doesn't have to explicitly be satire, or even be 50% of the work. I'm look for a story where satire is at least reoccurring.

Big disagree, but I appreciate how you asserted dominance, and I don't want to be a hater, so my vote is for Corty.

Did you make this by hand? The art style is amazing.

I take it you're saying that the MC wanting to go back makes it different? I won't argue since I'm not an Isekai fan, but that doesn't seem like something substantially different. A third is also a huge amount. That's a 50/50 choice between them wanting to go back vs not. I just think...

Oh man. I'd say Get Out, Cabin In The Woods, IT, and I literally just watched Sinners. Horror movies are so cliche on average that I don't have a lot of favorites.

Games started appealing to the common denominator, and people complain, but still buy them, and then microtransactions and games-as-a-service came along and people's habits didn't change. I love videogames, but at this point, they rank pretty low to any adult that can afford to do other things...

If I made it to Chapter 3, then it would just be a matter of likeable characters and an engaging plot.

Sometimes, but not purposely. Sometimes I listen to music, sometimes I have a nature documentary on in the background. If I'm writing something with a specific tone, I usually choose silence.

You don't know me, Batman. Maybe I would give the trigger to an ordinary civilian.

Disclaiming that I wouldn't read any Isekai, so just categorize my opinion properly. (In case you want to appeal to non-Isekai fans or something.) This reads like every Isekai I've ever heard of, while also being meta and referential, and I don't necessarily mean that in a good way, no offense...

I posted in like 10 places to get a good data spread. I'll probably only be comfortable with the data when I have about 10 works, but I narrowed down to 7 free platforms, Patreon, and 2 paid platforms. Literotica is in the mix, and it works great. I hate the UI and their general publication...

Are people really posting hourly? Oh, I am writing for fun. That's why it isn't really a big deal to me. I just noticed that it's gaining less traction on SH. I try a new blurb about once a month. To be fair, most of the blurbs I see are HEAVY information dumps, practically begging someone to...

I've only been publishing online for 67 days, but I've tracked my stats across platforms and SH is kind of... abysmal. For my works that weren't 404'd without explanation, traction seems incredibly low. Is there a certain genre that does better here? I don't do R4R or anything, since I want...

Remember to put something in your will so when you pass, your grandchildren are either obligated to carry on your legacy, or sacrifice your drafts to the nearest volcano. Either one works.

I'd argue that you have to write for the demographic you want. The "I'm not reading allat" crowd isn't loyal, or profitable, at least not for literature. It's an opportunity cost, because if you appeal to that crowd too much, you never know what opportunity you're missing from another crowd...

I mean, 3 is the number if you want to see it that way. A country has areas, and those areas have areas, but you know it doesn't end there. If you zoom all the way out, there would be galaxies, then star systems, then planets, then continents, then countries, then states, then cities, then...
