    POST requests to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php trigger Cloudflare challenges even though robots.txt says bots can use that route

    POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php cannot be accessed by bots (even though it's explicitly allowed in robots.txt) because the route returns a Cloudflare captcha challenge. Potential fixes: Change robots.txt to also disallow /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. Remove Cloudflare protection from...

    Evil female leads

    The main character is incapable of feeling love as, like, an emotion, but she might go through with a romance as a deception play. I've only read up to the end of volume 4 so I can't speak for the later volumes but as of EoV4 there is no romance, real or deceptive.

    Evil female leads

    The closest story I know of is probably REND, but the MC is literally a psychopath, so I don't know if that counts as evil per se. She definitely *does* evil things, but her condition prevents her from feeling empathy, so it's arguable. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/216715/rend/

    Which novel is the worst?

    Twilight may be dull and stupid, but 50 Shades is literally dangerous because it shows its characters doing BDSM unsafely but presents it as if it were safe. That is, literally, dangerous, and could cause permanent physical and emotional harm if newcomers used 50 Shades as an example to follow.

    Transformation story recommendations

    Formicea has a gradual transformation but it finishes by ~15 chapters in if I recall correctly - most of the story is focused on the psychological aspect of that transformation. Also if you don't mind smut, transformation is literally an entire fetish with dedicated communities and such...

    Prologue: yea or nay?

    The thing I hate is when a prologue is marked as a prologue when it actually should be chapter 1. If a "prologue" can't be skipped because the reader will have no idea what's going on then it's not a prologue. Which of course means I have to read every prologue for every new story I start...

    How do page breaks

    I assume by "page break" you mean "horizontal rule". Like this: SH doesn't support custom styled HRs, so whenever you see some fancy looking one what they've actually done is just inserted an image in its own paragraph and centred it.

    [help] does anyone understand Euclid theorem of infinity prime numbers?

    This is a proof by contradiction, so let's say that all the prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, and 7. We already know this isn't true but we're trying to find a contradiction, thus disproving the conjecture that "2, 3, 5, and 7 are all the prime numbers". Let's multiply them all together: 2*3*5*7 =...

    Bugs Color picker control is incomplete for existing reading lists

    In Edit Reading Lists you can specify the colors of their icons. When opening the color picker control for a new Reading List, the full control is displayed (preset colors, HSV picker, hex color code). When opening the color picker control for existing Reading Lists, only the HSV picker is...

    Writing When is it considered too much action?

    I usually skip most action scenes these days. Most authors can't bring themselves to kill off important characters, so they end up just being filler between actually impactful and interesting parts. Of course non-impactful action scenes can be great for building character or character...

    What would make someone drop a story?

    Something nobody's mentioned here yet is when a story just refuses to end. I get the urge to keep writing the thing you know is popular, but you're tainting how good the story is with this pointless continuation. Like, you have all these plot threads you established earlier, and you either just...

    Moons in novels

    It's worth noting that a planet without at least one large moon would have several issues that may or may not be relevant depending on whether your world is intelligently designed. 1. Minimal tides. There would still be some coming from the local star but not as much as a large moon would give...

    If time was frozen for 24 hours, what would you do?

    Probably be really bored. Like, all the stuff I do for entertainment these days is electronic, and the electrons in the wires and the signals over the internet would all be frozen too. I couldn't just go rob a bank because authorities will be looking for anomalous large sums of money being...
