To me, genderbending at it's core is about exploring what it's like to have a different perspective/place in society based on gender roles or different body, without having to deal with the fallout, whilst living in a society/time where it's relatively risky/demonized to do so. Just looking at...

That sounds like an excellent way to communicate, if and only if your family/friends are down with it-- gets a lot of additional information in that text usually leaves out. Like with other writing blocks, I'd suggest trying to just say one sentence, even if it isn't the perfect thing, and see...

Pretty sure SH has a fanfic category, but also pretty sure it doesn't have an API, so probably no bot. I dunno any AO3 upload bots, but lemme know if you find one-- it has an API, so it should be possible....

I usually make titles by making a joke or reference to another work or genre that describes the story I'm writing reasonably well. Or a portmanteau! Portmanteaus are great.

Clever enough to make corporations and nuclear bombs. Foolish enough to make corporations and nuclear bombs. They're just cute little animals that have accidentally ended up building their societies into gigantic death machines TBH.

There's no hard rules here-- you can have only narration and no action or dialogue, if you want. I would say to remember that the narrator is also a character (even if they don't exist in the story)-- if your narrator is like "Once upon a time, in a distant grove..." they should probably not...

Why? I understand you're confused on a variety of points after the initial decision, but what's the initial point that all of that comes from? What're your core motivations for writing?

Glossary is a cool and interesting feature, but kinda annoying if you ever want to crosspost to other sites IMO, since it's not particularly easy to extract/post the same data elsewhere.

Your taste/critical skill outpacing your writing skill is better than the reverse-- it means it'll be easier to improve since you can see the parts of your writing you don't like. ...of course, that'll only happen if you just accept that each sentence and story you write isn't going to be the...

if you specifically are interested in people being turned into pets by plants, check out Human Domestication Guide probably

Most tigers aren't likely to attack humans these days-- the Champawat tiger really is an outlier, as noted in that article. Regardless, I'd simply attempt to befriend and/or distract the tiger. They're just huge dangerous cats in a lot of ways, and I know what cats like. Alternately, ask for...

I think there's ways to make that make that narrative make sense from what little I've heard of it (for example, play up their fear of her even as they exploit her power), but sounds like it was not done well.

My hot take is kind of the opposite! Writers should start writing what interests them, the writer, with an absolute minimum of onboarding to get there, unless the onboarding is an important part of it or fun-- someone's going to be at their best when writing about what they're interested in...

Need? No. A lot of readers will bounce if the grammar is sufficiently bad, though. I don't know if I'd trust grammarly's suggestions-- ahhhh instead of ah is fine, for example, though I can't speak to the punctuation.

Try messing around with them both in different stories, if you haven't already! You'll get a better idea of their strengths/weaknesses.
