Is it bad that I can't tell whether you're making a joke about this cabin of yours or not? Do you... actually go out and write in a cabin in the woods? Is that a thing?

What do you mean by normal genres? With a quick search through you'd find this site performs the best with Fantasy, Isekai, and LitRPG. The smut novels I was referring to weren't the most popular novels, I was simply noting how they're acceptable on this site; since most other sites wouldn't...

It depends heavily on the vibe of the chapter, really. Basic fantasy or story progression? World of Warcraft soundtrack with some Witcher thrown in during fight scenes. Maybe I'm writing a war arch? I'll throw some Knights of Cydonia on and hype myself up. I also use some Dream Evil if it's...

Those statistics are crazy good, especially for only being a day or two old. I started posting my own work at a similar time, give or take a day or so, and here are my own statistics; I don't really advertise my story, though... unless you consider having it mentioned in my signature. I...

My favorites would be 3, 5, 7, and 9 personally. I don't hate any of them, but those ones in particular popped out to me. Could you imagine if 1 won, though.

Legit every post I see from you is either about your fetishes, your cock, or your sex life. lmfao

As a similarly new author to SH I've noticed the same things you have; a friendly community, polite forum goers, and an active Discord. I will say that, from my experience, your readers are by and large friendlier and more accepting, but also quieter. You'll receive less feedback and comments...

I've found including actions alongside dialogue to be highly useful, and allows you to pad things out to appear more natural. "What do you mean?" Venior queried, turning his head from left to right as a sigh escaped his mouth. "You're not making any sense at all here..." Padding things out...

If you wouldn't mind me asking, what was the story you were looking for -- just in case someone else Googles the same question it can lead them to this thread which would contain the answer. :D

I'm going to be real with you here, I was completely unaware of the Show All Rankings button under statistics, and was assuming it only showed the top 2 or 3 rankings available.

I haven't been able to find a decent text-to-speech that I've enjoyed listening to while still retaining the information, so I tend to just read myself. I think the biggest issue is dialogue flow and suspension is completely lost using TTS, at least compared to manually reading it or using an...

I've definitely noticed a lot of sexual content on this site, but I do believe there are enough non-sexual content to appeal to most people. I will say that BL/Yaoi isn't the same thing as say Gender Bender, even if they are occasionally tagged together. Yaoi just means gay males, while gender...

I have noticed on several occasions of someone saying on a chapter 1 of a BL novel something to the degree of; "This looks promising, but are those two guys gay? I don't want to read anything gay if they are. Author please make it more apparent if they are!" Now that's not verbatim, but close...

I'm very happy with all the feedback and responses I've gotten, thanks everyone for alleviating my worries! I'll continue as I have been, looking toward the future with glee knowing that I'm not making any apparent mistakes. As always, I'm consistently blown away by the community at SH...

I'm a new arrival to this site (I made the account a year ago but only took notice of SH this week), and I'm not sure if my reading retention is atypical or if its something everyone deals with. I'm currently at this as my stats, so I'm not too concerned and its definitely not life or death...

I do agree, to a degree. I'm fine with it selecting the X-men tag as the main one, since its most likely the highest # trending spot, but I do wish under Statistics it showed the position of every tag the story is listed under, not just a select few that are arbitrarily chosen. I also wish you...

But now if you were to actually kill somebody you could use this post as an alibi. >.>

With the amount of religious subtext and names I've Googled for reference -- from Greek to Christianity -- the people at Google probably think I'm either super religious or some sort of historian. Oh and I look up synonyms for some weirdly niche words.

What I found for writing third person past tense is you can still include the occasional thought from your main character, but you have to stick to only one perspective per scene, so it doesn't seem omnipresent and overbearing. Also for internal thoughts in third person it's typically done...
