    First versus third person POV

    I don’t know why, but I trend towards preferring 3rd person.

    Need feedback, also looking for review swap

    Hey! It took me a few days to get to typing this but I hope you don’t mind that. Since you said you were willing to review swap I made a mental note to at least read the first three chapters since that’s all I am truly asking of folks for my own stuff since it sets up the plot. That being said...

    Sick and tired of adventurer's guild and dungeon diving.

    There’s definitely a head honcho figure I could build such a narrative around… thank you for the spark of an idea! That second line I think puts to words how I felt after dabbling in reading the genre. I absolutely prioritize the same when I write (if I’m not obsessed about the characters I’m...

    Sick and tired of adventurer's guild and dungeon diving.

    That’s sort of what I had in mind, it being a type of loose ‘fellowship’ of mercenaries that are specialized in dealing with planar bleeds, the problems they cause in the world and the monsters that come out of them. But they happen all over the world and I really don’t like the thought of just...

    Sick and tired of adventurer's guild and dungeon diving.

    What’s funny to me is I had an idea for ‘adventure guild dungeon delving gimmick’ minus the isekai for later books in my series but up until I started looking up places to post my current work I didn’t even know the litRPG genre existed. And at first it seemed like a good way to approach them...

    Grammar

    If you’d be willing to return the favor then yes, I’ll give it a shot! I can take a look at it today on my breaks and write something up for you.

    Perfectly Legal Questionnaire.

    Does this law firm happen to know The Muffin Man? 🤔

    Authors, please, recommend me your story!

    I only have five chapters up so far but I hope you’ll still consider mine! Mines a fantasy adventure with horror and drama elements involving four dryads going through a spooky forest to escape an Archfey’s wrath. It queer slow burn romantic subplots (gay best friends to lovers*, lesbian enemies...

    Grammar

    I have used pro writing aid and while I do love it, it seems to be deathly allergic to adverbs. Which probably says more about me than it does the AI but I’m just a descriptive person. It’s decent with grammar and the rephrases do help sometimes but more often than not when I read them aloud...

    Reviewing other stories

    If you find the time to give me feedback on my fantasy adventure story I’ve got going on right now I’d be so grateful! The key genres are Fantasy, Adventure, Drama, Horror and Supernatural. While I do have romance in the genre tags (one gay, one lesbian) it is very much a secondary subplot to...

    speak only with song lyrics

    Let’s cut the charade, you are no wife of mine! You’ve been trying to take my life this whole time! I know underwater there are packs of you hiding. I know exactly what you are- a WEEWWEEWW

    can people give me feedback on my story

    So, you said you wanted brutally honest but I’m not exactly the brutal type. I hope constructive but hopeful criticism will suffice. The good? The sort of blasé delivery of the MC can definitely be an entertaining read. I’m a bit of a sucker for characters like Deadpool or Freakazoid. (damn...

    Can you withstand immortality?

    In the sense that immortality would give me the means to keep writing about all the silly little characters that keep popping up in my head with little pressure that death will come for me before I finish then yeah I’d be alright with it. But as a person who knows how we tend to keep repeating...

    I will tell you when and why I stopped reading your story.

    For some reason my own post requesting feedback got marked as spam on this forum and is invisible and I’m nervous to repost it (probably because I’m very new, but still 🥲) I’m really, really hungry for some so go ahead and give mine a shot if you’re up for it! I would appreciate it immensely...

    Ideal Word Count for Chapters?

    I initially started writing chapters around 4k because I tend to be a wordy writer and I also read a few Reddit posts that said fantasy novels tend to trend towards 3 or 4k. However since I’ve started reading as well I’ve noticed many people seem to shoot for around 2 to 3k and have adjusted...

    What if there was a genre named, 'Character.'

    I honestly like this idea because I’m someone who likes character-focused narratives. Hell I’m writing one myself that’s quite literally about ‘a group of characters’ and I often think about AU scenarios for them as I’m writing. Of course the plot and setting are important. But as someone who...
