They could, but I believe the idea behind it is not having to check once a day. You get an email when a new chapter is posted, get a notification on your phone, then can read the chapter. The implication is also that they would like to read stories close to when they come out, not in one big...

It was on the main site, not the forums, and it was just overnight. That's probably it, thanks!

When I logged in today it said I had a notification for a message in my inbox when I didn't have any new messages. I'm not sure exactly what caused this or if it's even a bug (can someone send a message and then delete it?), but I figured I'd le

I'm way late, but I'm really glad SH exists! If it wasn't for that little sidebar on NU, I probably still wouldn't have made much more progress on my story than what I had already, and it would just be languishing unread on my computer. So, I'm really thankful that the community here is so...

As a reader, I prefer chapters of 3000+ words, and my chapters vary from around 3000 words to around 5000 words. I like to be able to sink my teeth into something, and I think that's somewhat reflected in the chapter length I write. Honestly, I feel like the "real" answer to this question is...

You misunderstand, the series has ratings, but the reading list shows what YOU rate the series. So, it shows up as unrated in my list because I haven't touched it. I'm rather content with how it's rated, I just wish it didn't unnaturally stand out from the rest of my list. And I don't even know...

As the title says, I think it would be good if it was impossible to rate your own series. This prevents people artificially trying to boost their rating. I ask this mostly because as an author I have my own series in my reading list, and it really bugs me seeing it unrated while all the other...

Glad to know I was helpful!

Alright this is turning out to be longer than expected I'll have a TL;DR at the bottom but I'd recommend reading everything if you want the best picture of what's going on or want to tweak things yourself. So, flow rate is area of the pipe or channel times the velocity of the liquid. Velocity...

Hey, doing some math so it's going to be a few minutes, but would you mind elaborating on the physique of the boy? Athletic, scrawny, etc? It'll help me get a better picture while I'm doing this :)

That's a valid point, I had never thought of it in the context of being a...backlash(?) against recent trends. I suppose that really just goes to show you can't take things in a vacuum. And yeah, I certainly have seen that trend in revenge reader bases. I think in that case it's a case of...

So, one thing I've noticed when looking at reviews on NU or some comments in my own work that has a...less-than-proactive MC, is that there's a very vocal subset of readers who don't like the MC to have any hesitation whatsoever, and to just be a very dominant person in general. And, as someone...

It says "Your glossary page can be publicly view at (title)" where it should be "Your glossary page can be publicly viewed at (title)". Thanks for your hard work!

I use Word myself and it hasn't been a problem for me, so long as I'm not doing anything fancy. I have to do things in the SH editor if I'm making a window or something, but other than that it's been a smooth copy/paste

So, I keep running into an issue where I'm writing a conversation, and I want to make it clear who is saying what, but I also want to keep the instances of "x said" down because it feels repetitive. I'm not particularly enthused about trying to constantly use other, similar things like "x...

Thanks for the advice everyone, I'll be sure to try it! I think some really good ideas have been proposed, so I really do appreciate everyone's suggestions! :)

Hey, so I've been wondering what people do to keep their self-talk positive when it comes to their writing. I'm not talking about how to best receive criticism from others or anything, but how to avoid negative lines of thinking that, perhaps, are just completely in your head. Stuff like...

Thanks! I'll get the first few chapters up now and start from there!

So, I have a story I've been writing as a sort of hobby over the past year or so in bits and pieces. I've recently thought it might be nice to post it to a site such as this, but I've hit a bit of a snag. I've got a frustrating writing style in which I find it hard to think of the next scene...
