    Writing How do you go about making a protagonist "intimidating?"

    I'm 90% sure I once watched a Filmento video about John Wick pulling off the "terrifying protagonist" thing, but I'm honestly not sure I managed to get much from that. You can see this effect happen in anime/LNs/manga like Berserk, Overlord, Youjo Senki, Cory in the House or just about any...

    Writing How do I create a "-punk" environment?

    Despite there being no steampunk tag, I'm trying to write a steampunk story, and I've had trouble establishing the environment. The same goes for most of the stories I've tried to write. Anyone know the best way to make a story feel steampunk-y, cyberpunk-y, dieselpunk-y, futuristic-y...

    What is the Chuunibyou tag?

    I want to write something serious and edgier than Arifureta. What does the Chuunibyou tag mean? Does it mean it's about chuunibyous, if there's chuunibyous in the story, or if it's a story for chuunibyous? Or does it mean that there are chuunibyou elements in the story, like some badass...

    Writing Need Help With A Transition Scene

    So, let's say I was writing a scene where a character was having an intense exchange with someone. After the discussion is over, the character leaves to go someplace, but I still want to focus on the same character. What would be a good way to transition to the next scene, where the character is...

    Writing How to write ecchi?

    Title. I am trying to write a satire-comedy, and for the sake of making fun of the works that I am parodying, I must learn how to write ecchi by the next chapter I put out. I never thought my life would ever come to this point. My parents must be so proud of me.

    Writing How do you all write so much???

    I've always been in education and recently I've had some more work put on me, but I usually do about 3,000 words per chapter because I like longer chapters for no reason other than the fact that the Overlord LN made a pretty big impression on me. Most of the time, I just listen to music while...

    What to do when you have too much dialogue?

    Personally, whenever I'm writing my story for this site, I always think that I add too much dialogue to some scenes. What do you do to pad out the pacing between dialogue? I'm writing my story in third person, and it isn't an isekai, so I can't really have my protagonist suddenly talk about...

    Writing How to depict scale?

    Honestly, I think I've got it down in terms of depicting the height of the structures in my story by now, and it turned out to be easier than I thought, as I had already sort of achieved the effect of height before I posted. However, I looked over it again and I realized my main problem was that...

    Writing How to depict scale?

    I started a series in order for it to be practice for this sci-fi story that I really want to write (as I don't have a really good grasp on writing stories yet) but while writing chapters for this series, I'm reading through it and dissatisfied with how I portray these megastructures that exist...
