Welp, found two of my stories on there, I submitted the claims. (I also found three other by authors I'm friends with, and I told them about it.)

My novella Alex was almost called The Transition Zone. It's a pun, you see, because the protagonist is trans and does triathlon, and in that sport a "transition area" or "transition zone" is where you switch from swimming to biking, or from biking to running. However as I planned the story the...

"A probing, aye? I'll take the large one."

I think I used a sound effect maybe once, because it fit the mood of the scene. Usually I just describe the sound, and let the reader's imagination do the rest.

Yes, but I call it a buffer. It allows me to be consistent with my releases (once per week), and to not stress if because of life stuff I'm unable to write for like 3-4 days in a row: this way, I don't have the Damocles' Sword hanging over me of "you have to write a chapter by X date or you'll...

Like the title says; I have a few chapters of one of my stories scheduled for release, and I was wondering if it would be possible to add the ability to add comments to them. This way the comment would show up right away under the chapter when it gets published. Right now if I try to do so, I...

Unfortunately, in my setting wizards have no place on the battlefield. People who can use magic are few and far in-between, and they're too precious to be put at risk in the middle of a battle; they're mostly employed as court wizards, doing magical stuff that doesn't require them to leave their...

In my current story, it's basically like Fullmetal Alchemist: the mage / wizard has to inscribe or draw a magic circle or a series of runes, the more complex the effect, the bigger the circle. Then there's other things like potions and elixirs which help speed up the effects of magic or make it...

I write stuff on my laptop, because on-screen phone keyboards are to finicky and the screen too small to be able to write long-form prose properly. However, I do keep a notepad and pen nearby as I go about my day, so if I get an idea about my writing I jot it down quickly, and then copy it on my...

Yeah, same. I hadn't actually tried to schedule a chapter for an impossible date before coming here and making this thread. Sorry about that!

When scheduling a chapter to be released, the drop-down option for day of the month has 31 days available, no matter which month is selected in the first drop-down. This means that someone could schedule a chapter for, like, February 30th, or September 31st (which is how I noticed it, I went...

Maybe? The rules say explicitly "no smut" but my reading is that PWP (porn without plot) should be avoided. As long as your stories have an actual plot that isn't just an excuse to titillate the reader, I think you're good. (Though I might be mistaken. Best if you clear this with the mods and...

Yeah, I have a collection of short stories of my own, named "Drabbles and One Shots" and tagged as "short story collection". That's what the tag is there for.

I mean, it's most of my writing, so...

Yes, the story I've just started publishing yesterday is based on a dream. I had this really vivid dream of a scene in the story, which will come later on; I was in the POV of the main character, and besides being in the scene, I had full knowledge of "how we got here" i.e. what happened before...

Hello! I've put up a new story today, made up (so far) of two chapters: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/158614/simulacrum/ The bug I'm reporting here being, if I look at the statistics the word count shows up as 1400 (or thereabouts) words, which is the word count for the first chapter, the...

Hammered this out in a few minutes, off the top of my head.

Yeah, this is my concern. My stories are no more deserving of exposure than other authors', so I don't want to take up more space than I have to. Though I'm a sucker for exposure, so I think I'll go with the "one story every two-three days" plan. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I've just today registered for this site, and I wanted to ask a question regarding posting etiquette. I have a few stories I've been posting on another site; most are completed, one is not, but I still would like to post them all over here. We're talking about like fifty...
