    Genderbender that is not yuri or GL

    I still feel weird being in this thread xD Yes, I think that's an in analysis of what's going on. Writing the opposite gender intimidates a lot of writers. I think that many people get afraid about "how do I write all the small details" and feel like the deeper stuff in the character will be...

    Genderbender that is not yuri or GL

    This is not really my realm of expertise, but one of my followers had me read some of her story once. Might be what you're looking for. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/230599/im-a-mermaid-not-a-merman/

    Are deleted works cached in some way?

    As I've said before to people on this site - the most common fiction here is not commonly in print. For y'all self publishing works way better. Self publishing seems so rosy, but in my research it is rarely as successful as a publishing deal. Most authors do not become Harry Potter. But they...

    Are deleted works cached in some way?

    I hope though gone enough, and changed enough that a publisher cannot find it. I can't believe how insane about this these publishers are.

    Are deleted works cached in some way?

    So, I am trying to scrub my fantasy novel off of public areas of the internet. I did only post a portion of my first draft. The content my change greatly, as may the title, but I am still deathly afraid of working away at this only for a publisher to go "we found this by searching online, and...

    How do you write a fanfic?

    I wrote a fan novelization for Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker... I basically had to invent the characters. I had nothing but basic kernels of who these people were. Link is a cheerful, but clumsy, kind of goofy guy. Tetra is a sassy pirate who can fight. But I had no backstory from them, no...

    Am I strange?

    I've just have given up on trying to guess. I just play it safe until I find out for sure.

    I am not good with naming! I need a name!

    Naming is an interesting challenge in writing. Some people pull out the most on the nose name out there. Others develop an entire constructed language and craft names with crazy amounts of symbolism. Some people just choose a name that's rather plain. It depends on your setting. Is it set in...

    Post Your Synopsis & Get Feedback

    Immature? How so? This is the bad pre-first draft of this story. My fantasy novel is much better in my opinion. I'm not sure if you're saying that I need to work on my spelling and grammar or if you're saying that my writing sounds anachronistic to my setting, or that the characters' dialogue...

    What is something that many will see as something worth celebrating in life that you don't really see a point in celebrating it?

    My gosh this thread is depressing. Not the funny joking depressing some people say - like this is legitimately sad.

    (Poll) Do You Believe in Karma?

    In terms of eventual recompense for bad things done, yes, I do. Both in an eventual Judeo Christian idea of reward in the next life - plus just natural consequence of doing wrong in this life - ie, if you become an alcoholic, you open yourself up to possible horrible consequences like disease...

    I'm finally a merman

    Thanks for being rational and not making statements on someone's gender and sexuality because they have a clean wall.

    I'm finally a merman

    take it off... Oh. It isn't that clean, I promise you. The pic doesn't show the floor where all my clothes are strewn everywhere. 😄 Oh. It isn't that clean, I promise you. The pic doesn't show the floor where all my clothes are strewn everywhere. 😄 Oi. I'm a very hetero guy. Guys can like...

    I'm finally a merman

    I'm not familiar with what piece of merfolk mythology you're ascribing to, but I ascribe to that which I've invented for my own story. You can swim well with it, you just need to make sure to use the dolphin kick as your primary movement. There's also a quick release method that you can use to...
