For those who read the genre, what powers do you think are nice to have? The usual are elemental powers while others are psychics. Are there any unique ones you can think of? Help me out here. Haha I'm bored and I'm playing out a zombie apocalypse story in my head to get me through the day.

For me, it depends on the day. I usually don't as I find that it makes the readability of a story kind of clunky and somewhat inorganic. When I do need to check something though I find that it's useful...on occasion. How about you? Any of you use it? If not, why not? And for those who want to...

This will be totally random but I wanted to ask why a hanten is rather plain whereas a haori can have such colorful designs. Is there a particular reason for that?

My friend and I were talking and the topic of the conversation switched to pen names. Lauran Bosworth Paine was a prolific writer who had about 70 pen names which I think is crazy. But, I digress. I just wanted to ask if it was possible to implement a 'switch author account' for writers? Say, I...

Didn't know where to post this so just placing it here. Is there an RSS feed for your own reading list? As in stories that you follow specifically? I'm a total noob about RSS feeds and am clueless about how to find said RSS feed.

I suddenly remembered an English exercise we did at our school before where we were given random words and were tasked to use said words in a sentence. Something like this: superfluous / adj. / unnecessary, especially through being more than enough. Sentence: Ranting out negative comments...

This has been a trend going around and I'm bored enough during the lockdown that I wanna have some fun and try it out. I'm not talking about book characters (though I'm open for a recommendation if they're from a well-known novel so that I at least know who the character is.) Movie...

----------- The hooded figure took out a list as it told me to sit down in front of the desk. I jokingly asked if there were other times I nearly died and was quite surprised and intrigued when this harbinger of death told me to step into the office. "Let me see," the figure croaked in its...

The growing number of people wanting to see fluff in stories made me think that Fluff should actually be an actual tag. For some writers/readers, they might not know what it means but I think the demand for it from older readers/writers is plenty enough that I think it deserves it's own tag...

Did you see something that pissed you off today? Is there something you saw or someone you saw that just, without rhyme or reason, irritated you to no end? Is there a trope in novels that makes you go batsh**** crazy? THEN YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE! Write down what pissed you off today...

Because of this: https://forum.scribblehub.com/threads/tag-dictionary-list.925/ And this I started the google sheets. Quoting myself here: Edit: For the love of all that is sacred, DON'T SCREW WITH THE SHEETS. Don't mess it up and remove tags or add ones you think are convenient. This...

Just asking to see a show of 'hands.' In NUF, there's a blog feature that I find would be a great addition here as well if that's possible. I think, for an author, besides the profile feature in SH where you can post updates in your profile, I think a blog feature here could be really useful for...

Some of you may have seen me posting several pictures of a mild eruption from one of our volcanoes here in the Philippines. In case you haven't, these were the pictures: This is not considered a big eruption. More or less, this is the volcano 'coughing out' the ash and pressure. It's nearly a...

I remembered that there was a page like this in Novelupdates so I grabbed the address to share it here: Genres Tags I hope it helps!

For those authors who have their own Patreon accounts, what do you have there besides advanced chapters? I've seen other successful published authors who used Patreons as well and they have deleted scenes as well as discarded drafts there that they share with their patrons. How about you?

Lenovo ideapad 320-15lKB Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80GHz 4.00 GB (3.88 GB usable) RAM 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor --- Since we got no tech place here, I decided to ask here. If anybody can explain to me the specifics or if it's at all possible to upgrade the...

Besides jewelry, tattoos, birthmarks, and/or unique magical traits, what other things can be used as proof of identity in a fantasy medieval setting with magic? No other specific info as to what kinds of magic there is. Just wanted to pick your brains about proof of identities. Though I am...

I just checked and, apparently, I can copy a chapter and paste it in a word document file. I just thought it would be nice to somehow disable copying posted content to dissuade pirates from copying a story and posting it somewhere else. Of course, someone might have the patience to copy a story...

logophile /ˈlôɡəˌfīl,ˈläɡə-/ noun. - a lover of words. This thread is for sharing unique, beautiful words that you would normally not come across. Words in your own country that others outside would never know are also welcome. Please, do avoid making this thread as a joke and post words...

Because of this: https://forum.scribblehub.com/threads/shounen-mature-or-adult.1417/ I realized that some terms like Shounen, Shoujo, Josei, etc might put off certain potential writers since those terms are more for Asian readers/writers. Personally I don't mind. I grew up reading manga and...
