    Favorite overused tropes

    Resurrection. It ruins tension but I just really like the idea of death being temporary

    I'm curious, what writing software do you (yes I mean you specially) use?

    Notepad (on windows), one of several android apps called 'notes', focuswriter (on windows)

    Mystery was written off as bad writing.

    How subtle you can be largely depends on how much trust readers have in your writing skills (on the internet that's not very much) In this case I would make it either very obvious that the goblins did something they shouldn't have been able to do, or the adventurer tried to do something they...

    Is it okay to...

    You can write a work with Lovecraft's characters and treat it as basically original work, but it's best to acknowledge the way it's influenced by Lovecraft. It's the right thing to do, and it actually increases the appeal (I'm not sure if it's illegal to pretend that you created public domain...

    I'm looking for something like, OPM or Invincible...

    She wears all black, controls bugs, and is so 'the ends justify the means" that she joins a gang within like five minutes of becoming a superhero

    What songs are you listening to? (the messed up version)

    Let it out by starkid: mind control Defense from the musical 'we are the tigers': cheerleaders cover up a murder Mordred's lullaby by heather dale: child being used as a pawn for revenge No good deed from the musical Wicked: character decides to become evil Lifeboat from the musical...

    Worm? Not edgy? Like, it's good, don't get me wrong, but it's not exactly light hearted Fluff by ravensdagger. It features some serious stuff sometimes but it's very light hearted. It's on royal road and I think on scribblehub too

    In what language do you think?

    Mostly English, but I can think in my native language (dutch) too

    Is naming your protagonist after yourself egotistical?

    It's fine, it's not like you're hurting anyone. (besides, readers can probably tell whether or not the main character is a self-indulgent author insert either way). Make sure you don't dox yourself though, some people online are assholes

    Recommendations I am looking for some nice abused recovery thingies

    There are over sixteen thousand works that are tagged 'hurt/comfort' and 'past abuse' on ao3 Over four hundred of those are original works. You can filter for them by pressing filter -> fandoms -> original work

    Do you pull your stories to publish on Amazon?

    As a reader: it's fine to delete a work you've written in order to sell it elsewhere. That said, if you're leaving parts of it up, you should put a warning in the summary so readers know most of it will be missing

    THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS

    You could post new chapters on Patreon first and then upload them on scribblehub some time later. Some people on here use that monetisation strategy, you could ask them how well it works

    Is a vigilante an anti-hero?

    Vigilantes can be heroes too, especially in superhero fiction, and are also commonly villains, especially in works with sympathetic monsters

    I’m utterly disappointed with Waifu Labs

    You could just use a picrew. It's not going to look quite as good as what you got from waifulabs but you can actually decide the details of your character. (Make sure you get a good picrew, the bad ones can only make young-looking characters)

    Recommendations Searching for non human Novels

    Like a dungeon reincarnation story? Because I'm pretty sure the scribblehub search system has a tag for that Personally I like 'There is no epic loot here, only puns' on royalroad

    Opinion on piercings

    They're fashion decisions. There's nothing wrong with it. You sound really judgemental

    Out of Place Vernacular

    A fantasy story that refuses to use modern words because they don't sound history-ish enough is doing itself a disservice imo. Sometimes you want old and archaic language ofc but you shouldn't keep that up the entire series unless you're going for a very specific style, because it really limits...

    Plant based food

    That picture makes it look like plant burgers are a balanced diet all by themselves lol. Meat substitutes usually have a worse taste/texture than regular meat, but it's probably better for health and environment

    [for readers] what you consider a red flag when you're looking for a new story to read?

    Half-assed philosophy/rhetorical questions instead of a summary Lots of typos in the summary and/or first few paragraphs The author using the word "loli" "I'm bad at summaries. Just read it." The story isn't marked as completed, and hasn't been updated in a long time
