I'm more of a "run the cow by my table and I'll rip off a piece" kinda girl. The rarer the better. 😋

I name my chapters for a few reasons. Sometimes its to hint at the content of the scene. Sometimes it's to make an obvious reference to the various Anime I enjoy. Most of the time it's to make an either sarcastic, ironic, or simply hilarious joke. Like... The titles of one of my chapters is...

I actually feel the opposite. For me writing in 1st person allows me to fully delve into the mind of the narrator. I can justify bombarding the reader with exactly what my character is thinking and focus on writing the story solely from that character's point of view instead of having to give...

After reading your post, it's very easy to tell you've majorly burned yourself out. I agree wholeheartedly with you about the vicious cycle of craving views and comments for some sort of gratification or justification to why you are doing what you're doing. I myself am no stranger to that same...

The term is "Cinematic Fight Scenes." Which is... fights that look amazing on camera (or in a story) but are in no way realistic. Real combat is bloody, brutal, but mostly importantly... it's fucking quick. That's the whole point. The point is to kill or incapacitate your opponent in the most...

I write my stories in Arcs. I wrap up each Arc when I feel the entire focus on what my MC is doing shifts. Think of a game of D&D: Get the quest for the thing. Travel to do the thing. Do the thing. Climax about the thing. Aftermath after doing the thing. Traveling back from doing the thing...

I fucking knew it. I knew it was going to be that... and I still clicked it. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Just chiming in, I do the same as these two. But... like Matcha, I don't understand the concept of "Ending." For me it makes my characters feel more authentic and relatable. Often, if I try to get my characters to do something that they themselves "didn't come up with," they will get mad and...

Out of my 11 patrons, I have only 3 who have interacted with me in any way. And I'm totally OK with that. I'm not doing it for just the money, but it is definitely a major draw for me. Especially since I'd love to make it my primary source of income. If that wasn't obvious, I picked the money.

Apparently Goddess is also #6 on trending today too... I'm taking it from the plethora of other comments that this isn't normal for such "new" stories?

Edit: I reread your original post. I realized you didn't want advice. :P It truly does depend on the reader base. On here Empress is doing awesome, albeit for a few trolls. On Royal Road, however... it has pretty much bombed. I am still posting chapters there once a day, but I don't spend...

"Swearing" is just another way to express one's self at any age. I grew up in a super religious household, so I wouldn't have even dreamed of uttering so much as a "Damn." Now that I am no longer part of any of that bullshit, I "swear like a sailor." I stopped caring about it offending other...

Yes! To me, sexual orientation, gender, and race are things that would appear on a bio sheet next to height, weight, eye color, hair color, right handed, left handed, etc. It's a trait of that character but never done with any intent beyond telling who that character is as a person. Now, the...

My thoughts are twofold on this topic. As a lesbian and the sister of a transwoman, I cannot stress enough how important representation overall is. All media is saturated with Cis-het stuff and forces anything that strays away from this into the category of other. It is vital that young people...

Keep in mind everything I'm telling you is specific to me: As long as I'm comfortable with the people I'm around and I consider everyone friends, I will shamelessly flirt with everyone because we're all adults, we're comfortable with our sexuality, and we all know there is less than 1% chance...

The more I'm reading all these threads about how to write a female MC, the more I feel like I should start a detailed thread about the in-and-outs like a sort of how-to guide.

OK... Where to start? Strap in, this is gonna be a lot. Edit: this was typed on my phone... Please excuse any major typos! In order to start answering these questions you need to determine what type of character your MC is. Is she shy, outgoing, flirtatious, overbearing, easygoing, sarcastic...

If I got reincarnated in the world the characters in my main story are in, that'd be fine. It's literally our world with just slightly more advanced technology. If it was solely within the video game they are playing, I'd be screwed. It's literally a hell dimension with angels and demons...

Does the character know she's sexy and does she use that to her advantage? If so, make her describe the qualities that she finds sexy about herself and the things she sees other people noticing about her. But also note there is a HUGE difference between those two things. OR: Is the character...

I love living through my characters. I love having their witty banter with them. I love fighting with them in the heat of battle. I love joining them in the throes of orgasm. I hurt when they hurt. I smile when they do. They are literally intimate parts of myself I get to share openly with other...
