What lead you to this point?

[ZynGrand]

I don't see anything like this, and I'm curious.

What got you to this point in life?

What point is up to you to decide, but I was talking about the rabbit hole that lead to you on Scribblehub. I want to know how you were Introduced to this side of the internet.

For instance, how my internet life went for me to end up on here.

Spoiler: Example

Somehow getting Into weird Tg (Gender Bender) comic on YouTube ->
Other weird Tg things through Google Images™ ->
Gender Bender Manga ->
Normal manga ->
Novels ->
ScribbleHub ->

Now this is just my experience, and you might've gotten into novels in a completely normal way.

So I want to know.

Note: I have been scarred in more ways than I should've

Pretty straightforward how I got here.

Saw a link to SH and voila! I'm here. The bigger issue is how I got to NU since, prior to NU, I didn't have anything to do with Asian novels. Forgot what anime it was but it was based from a novel and tried googling it to read about a synopsis about the book. It was then I came across NU. Randomly decided to pick a popular novel back then which was Coiling Dragon. Liked it so much I decided to check other stuff on the site. The rest is history.

 

[Scribbler]

A lot of bad decisions...

Well I could literally reuse most of your progression, ZynGrand, just in a different order.

Discover rule 63 when twelve, get weird feelings
-> upgrade to TG comics, get weird feelings
-> move on to GB manga, that's odd the feelings aren't going away
-> multiple years of confusion
-> oh god I'm dumb I'm trans okay how did that take so long to figure out
-> ah, I see, it's because all the TG and GB stuff I devoured as a teen was often fetishistic and sometimes even gross or sexist, yikes
-> yeah well you know what? We can take this genre and make it trans positive instead!
-> stumble upon Zandra's writing that's basically exactly that and fall in love with western light novels
-> start writing and posting it on tgstorytime
-> move to royal road
-> oops nevermind royal road is full of nazis and transphobes let's not
-> move to scribblehub!

I saw an anime book cover in novel updates advertisement and then realised that this is a place for anime original novels.

Was like cool. Check around a few titles, got hook on a few. Now, I'm kinda just wanna write something like those books that I read.

[NotaNuffian]

Found pornmag stash when I was seven, been playing with my dick from then since.
Then looking for more excitement online and found doujinshi (Dgrayman) and my love for anime. Then Royalroad, storiesonline and now I am here

 

[jinxs2011]

Actually kinda fuzzy about it.
I think
read manga in school library
watched anime of the manga
a friend told me about a novel (a light novel)
googling it found NU (maybe? Don't really remember how i found nu)
long period of lurking and reading (I got welcoming messages from other users 2 years after I joined )
see a thread by tony about a new site he's building to post novels on, thought i'd check it out, uploaded my novels etc.

 

[AliceShiki]

Watched animes ->
Caught up to the animes and wanted to see more ->
Got into reading mangas ->
Caught up to the mangas and wanted to see more ->
Got into reading novels ->
Got into NU ->
Found NUF ->
Got addicted to NUF ->
Saw Tony-chan say she was working on NU for original novels ->
Get hyped ->
Get more hyped ->
Get even more hyped ->
Get exhausted from hype because it's been like... 2 or so years since the first announcement ->
Tony-chan announces Scribbly ->
Hype comes back and now I'm here.

It was kinda like that to me, I was pleasantly surprised that what was originally a plan for a NU for original novels became an entire new site for hosting novels instead though~

[CupcakeNinja]

I saw tony added a button for coming here and i was like, "is this NUF Dating all over again?" Ciz i know tony has moments of activity where he just adds shit all sneaky then leaves it alone. Like Nuf dating

So i checked. It was legit.

...I only found out later nuf dating was a prank. And only cuz he himself said it was in a post here

Boy had me fooled for years

 

[CupcakeNinja]

@AliceShiki i fixed the last post. Since im sure you were confused.

 

[HURGMCGURG]

I was reading translated web novels on novel updates, and then I saw the link to scribblehub. It was perfect, because I was beginning to get tired of reading translated stuff. Now I can slowly get tired of reading English stuff.

 

[AliceShiki]

@AliceShiki i fixed the last post. Since im sure you were confused.

Yeah, some parts of it were confusing, but I got the gist of it! xD

Now it's clearer~

...I only found out later nuf dating was a prank. And only cuz he himself said it was in a post here

Boy had me fooled for years

NUFDating was a prank because NUF was the real dating site! \(^^)/

 

[Khiricastares]

Poor life choices.
