    Weekly Author Tip: Zeugma

    Today we visit another rhetorical device, the so called zeugma. Last time, some were wondering about the strange names of the devices, which is understandable. Because they are old. They are Greek and easily date back 2 500 years to the beginning of European literature. So, yes, these...

    Weekly Author Tip: Asyndeton and Polysyndeton

    :blob_cookie: To contribute to the general knowledge, we will discuss today two rhetorical devices, the asyndeton, and the polysyndeton. What are they? Both, the asyndeton as well as the polysyndeton, are closely related and describes different approaches to sentences construction when it...

    My little reading corner. Story feedback. Quality not assured. Opinions reign supreme.

    :blob_neutral: So how this entire thread thing work? All I ever posted were site improvement suggestions and angry rants. :blob_unsure: This feels strangely ... constructive, for the lack of a better term.

    Scheduling window

    A possible suggestion concerning the scheduling window. Currently, the chapters only show the date they were created, which has its uses. Unfortunately, the saved date remains the same when you try to schedule them. As a consequence, you must every time manually adjust not only hour and...

    Implemented For the sake of human civilisation, give the schedule publishing a "military" clock.

    Pls, give us the option to organise scheduled chapters according to a 24-hour clock, and not AM and PM. It might be good for Americans, but for the rest of the world it is a pain in the arse, and a highly fustrating experience. It is not the first time my release misfired because of AM/PM...

    Sociopathic MCs

    A few times already that work was dropped because my MC was perceived as "sociopathically evil" and "genuinely evil" even by readers who apparently prefer neutral/evil characters and detest lawful protagonists, which I find curious. I obviously disagree with the above assessment. I never...

    We want emojis! We, the people!

    A more peaceful request this time without trying to set the forum aflame. The thread concerns the matter of emojis and the mysterious forces surrounding them. We actually don't want more. the already existing ones suffice perfectly, but the thing is that for some reason certain emojis despite...

    Content guidelines/sexual content

    This thread concerns the conflict between content guidelines and sexual content on this site, and the apparent lack of moderation and blatant disinterest in this matter by scribblehub. We all know that scribblehub is by this point de facto the literary equivalent of pornhub. It doesn't...

    Warning: Little rant on my part

    Just a curious question, I am the only one here on this forum who is annoyed by people constantly changing their profile pics for shit and giggles? :blob_evil_two: People change with such frequency that I can't tell whether these bloody fools are just completely inept at choosing, or whether...

    Strange PM

    Anyone else here who got a strange PM from someone called lihuahe? :blob_evil_two:

    LitRPGs and trending! Attention required!

    We all know that LitRPGs are immensely popular for reasons of demographics and the inherent implications of such a system. :blob_evil_two: Even the greatest loser can become strong with a system. Now that is not the issue. Being popular is not a problem per se, but it is definitely problematic...

    A few little ideas

    :blob_cookie: We all here like scribblehub, or at least you have a passing interest in its continued existence. Therefore, I would like to suggest a few changes that could be made. a) I would like to see an option for getting an automatic notification when certain stories are updated and...

    Little rant

    Once again, the one-star ratings are allowed to strike from the shadows of comforting anonymity. They come and go as they please, leaving no traces in their path of destruction than their mere presence and the annoying absence of any feedback. Negative ratings are just there because the...

    Resolved Bug report: Rising

    From what I can tell, there seems to be a bug in the rising list that causes consequently issues with the main trending page. Apparently, my story and another one seems to continuously switch places back and forth within the matter of minutes, which it supposed to happen I think. I can't tell...

    Feature to implement or question

    I have a little question regarding ratings, is it somehow possible to remove ratings instead of just changing them? Otherwise, is it possible to implement such a feature? :blob_reach:

    Old question

    It is probably an old question that was answered already quite a lot, how does the trending system work on scribblehub? Because it seems intransparent to say the least. What is the formula behind the ponderation of views, favourites, chapters and time? Because I stumble across stories with a...

    In search of some novel suggestions

    As the title already says, I am searching for some good novels to read with adventure as main and a high or low fantasy setting. Realism is preferred, edginess however not. :blobtaco: Any ideas?

    Little question to the community.

    Stumbled across this while looking through my photo folders. Does anyone know what this is? :blobtaco: The first to guess right ... is well, the first one to guess right.

    End the anonymity of ratings.

    Ratings are something strange and mysterious. At the moment, they come for every author, particularly for small ones without a gigantic reader base, out of nowhere like an artillery round. You neither know who, when and why, which is annoying as you can draw no helpful conclusions from them...

    Searching for a potential beta reader

    :blob_reach: Unfortunately, nobody is perfect and typos and missing words are a frequent occurrence for me. Therefore, I am searching for someone who would sacrifice their time to check some of my chapters and my horrible grammar. A warning, though, the pay is lousy, no pay at all, and I will...
