    I don't know if my first chapter is good or bad

    It is more lengthy than what I normally read, but that is NOT a bad thing. Your writing is solid, each sentence well constructed. The first chapter is intriguing enough to keep me around for another, and has a certain quality to it. I can sense efforts behind it, some care poured into your work...

    Is originality dead?

    You've answered very well, and provided solid backup. I applaud you for that, and you are quite right, but seeing it all bunch together like that, really shows how f***ed up entertainment has become. And that is heartbreaking... but every now and then, a little gem can still surface, and give us...

    How do you start your stories???

    With an idea: just write what comes to mind; it's what comes next that will make a difference. It doesn't matter how many words you have; once you emptied your mind, and put it all on paper/screen, READ it a few times. Read it as a reader, read it as a writer, read it with logic. You'll most...

    How do you create your book covers?

    Always, with my own original work (I have a strong aversion to using AI, for me personally, as my partial job revolves around art commissions and video game development, which requires skills, creativity and a real human touch). Sometimes, I'll create a cover using a variety of pictures hubby...

    When...

    When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie That's amore When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine That's amore My apologies, but you hit the title for this post right on, so I had to add to you reply. No harm in a little fun! Kindly, Rin.

    Implemented Change order stories appear in on profile

    Upon reflection, I actually did post it as a new *Feature Request*. I originally simply wanted to avoid double posting the *same* request, but seeing how old this post is... a new one was a wiser choice.

    Allow writers to *custom order* their Stories

    I know this is from an old post, and I originally didn't want to repost something that was already talked about before. But I'll still take my chances, and bring back the topic for sorting out stories. For the Dashboard section, this has been implemented. However, this can't be done on the...

    Fanfics with romance vs fanfics with no romance, which do you prefer?

    I don't really read fanfiction, unless requested by a known source. But I do write quite a few, mainly as a tie-ins or sequels to shelved stories. I do not include any romance, with the exception for this one linked below, because romance is a crucial story element, and was commissioned to be...

    Implemented Change order stories appear in on profile

    I know this is an old post, but I didn't want to repost something that was already talked about before. So I'll test my chances now, and ask this: Sorting our stories in the Dashboard section has been implemented. However, this can't be done on the Profile/Series page. Would it be possible to...

    Stories with Default Cover

    I did notice the point you brought up, and it seems to be an issue encountered on all sites like this one. It's a common thing on Wattpad, and even worse with its banner feature for each chapter, which a lot of users seem to be misusing in term of proper dimensions.

    Stories with Default Cover

    Whose? Mine? Because I'm using the proper 250 x 350 @ 72 dpi for all my covers, and none appeared stretched or ugly on my end. On both PC and Android, everything is displayed as it should: no blurry, pixelated or disproportionate appearance. And I don't half bake any of my artwork: care and...

    Is naming your protagonist after yourself egotistical?

    Whatever the reason behind using your own name is, it's in no way egotistical. And using your own doesn't automatically means same personality or characteristics; a name is just that, a name. Now, if you're using both first and last names, then perhaps there's a bit more going on behind the...

    Stories with Default Cover

    Fair enough, as far as the expression goes. So for you, a cover has no impact, correct?

    Stories with Default Cover

    Another quick question for all you readers, not necessarily just on Scribble Hub, but in general: How likely are you to read a story that uses a default cover? Or do you focus on the title, and no so much on the cover art? I do have a lot of appreciation for well designed story covers, and...
