Hate to be basic, but I'm mostly going to agree with @Zinless, though I'd add that art is the intersection of effort and skill. A half-assed sketch by some master draftsmen, no matter how beautiful it might be to others, barely qualifies, whereas a total amateur pouring hours of tireless effort...

Congratulations man! Owning a house mortgage free is the shit! Don't get too complacent though, now that you're in the black the temptation to make stupid financial decisions might rear its ugly head again. Marine?

I believe in you fam! Don't give up!

I don't think a character can be bad narratively, and also necessary narratively. Sometimes you just need a POS to bump the story along, imo. Anyway, for OP, strangely, my worst character is also a slaver rapist. They exist for plot reasons and are killed (in a satisfying and brutal manner)...

I think the robot might have hallucinated a genre at you. Anyway, the forum is mostly populated by writers. For writers readers you just have to space out your uploads, be consistent, and hope for the best. From what I've heard, most readers (here and presumably on other WN sites) won't even...

Rookie mistake, never admit to being a writer. I think I'd rather tell someone I was a prostitute.

I think AI is enabling all those lazy "Idea Guys" who used to fantasize about how great an author they would be if only "blah blah blah" wasn't totally unfairly holding them back. I already detested those DNB POS <insert twenty minutes of seething, inarticulate rage>, but now with AI I've...

It's the marketers from OpenAI trying to change brand perception. (not a serious theory)

Photography never made anyone a better painter. Being good at generating cyber slop is not a benefit to yourself or mankind. There's already more than enough tasteless slop produced by real people, we don't need somehow even more bland, mindless garbage injected into the world. At least the...

tbh, I would rather choke myself to death with my own entrails than use AI to help with with any part of writing. I'm not even a big fan of spell check. You have a brain, learn to use it. If your English sucks, practice. It won't get any better outsourcing the work to Anthropic. "But then I...

Ideas are always worthless, it's only implementations that matter ("idea guys" are the worst). That said, this... is an exceptionally strange idea. I'm more interested in how you came to think to combine these two properties than I am in seeing how it plays out. I suppose you must have grown...

I don't think SH earned the nickname SmutHub for no reason, and I think the WN format/audience in general is probably incompatible with anything that would qualify as contemporary fiction. Normal novels have ends, and are often not much more than fifty thousand words long, WN are expected to...

Maybe paste it first into something like notepad (or text edit on a mac) then do a find and replace on the extra spaces (you can copy and paste the CRs into it). That's assuming you're doing this on a PC/laptop. If you're one of those phone writers, look for a rich text editor online and use...

vote for grug, grug smash puny problem.

¿Alas?, I write my stories to completion before publishing, so I don't so much have retcons as edits. That said, I did once completely change the character of my lead, necessitating an entire redraft to make sure he was consistent (also, it improved the writing a ton, imo, but w/e).

Ah, the old Vlad the Impaler technique.

lmfao, I'm so sorry! Even wolfram-alpha didn't want nothing to do with it.

What is the anti-derivative of the function f(x) = (2x^3+13x+11x^(-2π))/(6ix^(-iπ)+e^(ix^¡√(2x)))?

How is the sky blue?

I tend to write my stories with a certain level of inevitability baked into the grand plot, often even including the part where the protagonist/POV character is involved, though for one of them, if my character had just let a certain thing go he, well, he wouldn't have been involved in the...
