Hello! I am Ellie and I love to read, write, and play violin! My favorite book is probably Ann Liang's I Hope This Doesn't Find You. The genres I'm interested in are basically any type of fiction in the young adult age range, and I'm writing a YA romance titled Call It What You Want.
Nice to meet you, Ellie. Do you happen to be a brat with the last name "Porter?"

Hi friends!
I'm Esiyx, I go by Esi (mildly?), some people call me fluff for various reasons, but I don't really mind anything :D
One of my pretty big hobbies would be writing ik ik pretty crazy woah, I also like... reading and cooking I guess...

Actually, almost forgot to mention, but huge fan of napping, underrated activity for real

I've read a lot of stuff, GL mostly, but Ive done the whole gamut, BL, GL, straight, etc

I sometimes write some stuff, I think I've written a couple stories that show up sometimes in places? I don't know, ever since I started writing i paid less attention to SH and read mostly on NU so... T~T who knows really

As for other things, there's a little preview of the forums on the SH homepage, and that was my way of looking in on the forums from the outside for the past like... three years, but now ive finally gotten the courage to post! woot woot! I hope to try and make some friends on these forums, so nice to meet you all
Hope you're having a nice day :D

Hi I'm Picklesz! You can call me that :) I love anime, gaming, reading, and writing of course. I actually started with writing fanfiction back when I was eight years old and I still do write mostly fanfiction, but I decided to branch out to original fiction as well. I always dreamed of being published one day.

I mostly read GL; I'm a big consumer of yuri manga/webcomics. I usually like more slice of life/realistic stories. But I like any well written romance.

My favorite novel ever would probably be the Princess Bride (the abridged version). I also read a tonnn of YA as a kid, my favorite being the Hunger Games series. I love either a compelling romance or a compelling political drama :blob_happy:

My name is TheWolfWriter, call me whatever you like :)
I like writing and drawing, especially drawing wolves (hence the name).
I look for fantasies that aren't LitRPGs or reincarnated stuff, which makes my reading list very short...
My favorite novel here is "The Consequences of Meeting a Dragon", because it was kid-friendly, very well written, and had an awesome world build.
I wrote a book called "Terrarestrians Book One: The Prophecy" and try to update it daily.
I got my motivation to write from drawing and my friends, who helped me build the world for my story and the dragon tribes I put in the story. I also love trees and plants (don't ask)
Nice meeting y'all! :D

Hi! I'm Kitty. My hobbies are reading, writing, knitting and cooking. I also really like horror movies and anime haha. I like to read a variety of stuff, but mostly fantasy and queer romance.

It's really hard to pick a favorite novel. Hm. I've been keeping up with The Husky & His White Cat Shizun! I have a subscription box at my local comic shop. The twists and turns in that story keep me so hooked! Every time I think I know what they're going to do, I get yanked around in a different direction, haha. I keep wanting to get into other danmei novels, but I have such a huge backlog of books I need to read, I really don't want to bury myself anymore.

I'm also posting a novel on Scribblehub currently, called Becoming Her Knight. It's a gxg romantic fantasy adventure. Please check it out if that sounds like something you'd be interested in!

Name - Gray I guess?

Hobbies/Interests - History and Self-Defense.


I've always had an interest in history. Went to school for it like a loser ? I specialize in Late Antiquity though I developed a fascination with Rome's Third Century Crisis.
I once wrote a paper on the Emperor Maximinus Thrax (235 to 238 A.D.) and got my only A++ ever, but my professor was confused as to why I chose Thrax since my assignment was based on Republican Rome. But he gave me an awesome grade anyway for content, if not subject.

As for Self-Defense, I'm 29, but I've been practicing Taekwondo since I was 6, Boxing since I was 9, and Kickboxing since I was 13, and then I added Aikido to my repertoire when I was 19 because I was told by a professional trainer that I had top tier "striker-game", but I was lacking in ground-game.".
I've won1st Place in four different MMA tournaments in my country, but during my last one, I was eliminated early on by a submissions expert because my ground/submissions game was poor in comparison and this cost me a victory. My last tournament was when I was 23. Still regularly train and practice, but more for my own enjoyment and athleticism then for competition. Not sure if I'll ever compete again.

I read mainly Fantasy. I've recently developed an interest in Isekai, but LitRpg's worry me. Math was never my friend, so seeing it in my stories frightens me. I enjoy certain Xianxias, but more so Xuanhuan in particular since Xuanhuan tends to add western-elements to their storytelling. I'm afraid I'm not the most well-versed in what is currently fashionable in webnovel/webserial pop-culture. I read mostly history books if I'm being honest. It wasn't until the last two years that I grew very interested in this sort of thing. The only LitRPG I've read was something called Randidly Ghosthound and I liked it....except for the Math. As of now, Isekai and Xuanhuan are my fiction fixations.

I'm not particularly interested in anything non-hetero. So no GL, BL, GB, or anything of that sort. My opinions on Harems are...meh. Neither for or against. Depends on the story I suppose. The only Harem I've really finished was Sevens on Novelupdate and I LOVED it. The sequel is Sevens Gaiden, I've wanted to read it but it isn't being translated.

Guess I should have said "hi" two weeks ago... :D
My name is my name (got the name of the dead grandfather for my first name and the then-living one for my middle name).

Currently writing while between jobs so have a good backlog in case I want to do more than one story here (though looking at submitting some stuff to pay sites just because... well... between jobs).

I'm a genre-mixer and love to see when others do the same. Not a big fan of any sexual content or a lot of swearing but read (and write)pretty much anything. Tend to gravitate to fantasy and horror (and tend to include elements of both in everything at some point, as well as humor when I can, but don't do "pure" comedy) as a reader and a writer,

Good evening, mostly people. My name is ThisAdamGuy, but you can call me Adam. Or This. Or Guy. I'm not picky. My hobbies include writing, inserting Homestar Runner quotes where they don't belong, and weeping into the wrong end of a saxophone. I've written quite a few books, which I'll be uploading to Scribble Hub over the next few weeks, and I'm starting with one of my favorites, Henry Rider: Clown Hunter. I hope you'll give it a read, and that this community turns out to be every bit as awesome as it looks.

Hey hey! I am Edo, a Dutch writer who loves fantasy in its many forms, from books and series to comics and video games(big fan of Dark Souls for example). I also act in short movies and theatre.

I've just launched my first series on Scribble Hub: the Realms of Remembrance. In this dark fantasy story, the MC ends up trapped inside the memory world of his former friend. Feel free to give me some feedback if you're interested! :)
