    Wish to takeover work on hiatus

    What is the work you want to take over? Is the original author still publishing here or anywhere else? Like I agree you should get permission, but if you can't, perhaps you can consider a derivative work? Like take the things you love about their story and apply it to a story of your own...

    Writing Story tags: Promises made/lite spoilers before the first chapter is even read and how it improves passive promotion.

    I'm going to be perfectly honest with you and say... I couldn't read what you wrote verbatim. I tried really hard, but then my brain was like "okay... gonna skim the rest" and I really just couldn't reign her in. So I think I'll focus on your comment "It makes me wonder what it was like to read...

    Regression stories

    So, regression stores would be any story where you go back to your own childhood? Do they include stories where the character gets a second childhood (in another world)? If so, I love these kinds of stories. I can't write them myself, I've tried so many times to write isekai stories where...

    2am thought about Farmers

    A lot of classic western fantasy has farmers rising up to be heroes. it's a classic "rags to riches" tale, which is why I don't think you see much of it anymore. Farmers had their day in the sun, now is the age of God King Emperors and Heroes with cellphones

    What would make someone drop a story?

    Well I *thought it was hidden* XD Guess I clicked the wrong entry

    What would make someone drop a story?

    Honestly sometimes I just drop stories because I get tired of the genre. Like... sometimes I'm *too into* a particular genre and I start reading like 30 stories that fit that genre/theme... but once I get tired of it, well now I have 30 stories of a concept I'm not really into anymore. So...

    From one star rating to five

    I give a 5 to things I like. If I don't like it, I don't usually leave a rating at all.

    How to deal with author's guilt?

    For me, I just try to keep communication flowing. I'm not perfect about it, but I do like to make posts on my profile saying "yo, things suck, no Chappy for a bit" or whatever. People seem to like that. I mean I've had a couple stories go two months without updates before, just because I've made...

    Describe Your Voice

    A bit nasally, somewhat pixie-like. I sound like a child on the phone, even though I'm very much an adult.

    How much money before you turn full-time?

    I'm not the primary breadwinner for my household or anything, so I think $1,000/month would be just enough for full time. Though I would probably keep a part time job even at that amount just to be safe. Better to build savings you don't need than to end up with a bill you can't pay.

    Question for comedy writers

    So, my main genre isn't comedy for any of my stories. But, when I write something I intend for others to laugh at, I'm usually dying cackling on the floor for like a full 5 minutes. I'm pretty easy to amuse so I'm not saying that I believe my readers find it that humorous but if I don't laugh...

    Bruh

    That Christmas tree got swept off its feet. I'm looking forward to the Hallmark channel romcom about its new life with the robber and their honeymoon in the pacific north west together.

    Average amount of planning and outlining.

    5-10 pages of notes. Though I normally continue to expand and refine my notes as a story matures. I don't wait till I know everything before I start writing, otherwise a project just stalls and I lose the desire to write it.

    What do you do outside Scribblehub?

    I like to draw, though I don't consider myself more than a hobbyist at it. I read a lot of big western fantasy novels, things I have to buy on kindle/nook/kobo (choose e-book reader flavor you are the least upset with) I'm also the one who does most of the cooking at my house so I guess I'm...
