My first 8 chapters make up 20k.

I'd most likely make side story prequels or take an indefinite break from writing entirely.

I have a lot! Here's the main reference that I use for art commissions. I commissioned these from the artist 711pan. I have tons more but I never got around to making a thread for it on Scribblehub, but I did post one on Royalroad. From left to right starting with top image: Li Chou, known...

I think I like tragedies, military space operas and space battles, and history repeating itself and failing to learn from the past and things of that nature.

In Saga of the Cosmic Heroes, there's a thermonuclear warhead simply called the 'G-bomb' that's about several hundred times deadlier than even our modern Tsar Bomba—the series takes place in roughly the 29/30th century. They were used extensively in the last stages of a global war in the 25th...

Although it's a forum there's Spacebattles. It has two actual creative writing subforums; one for fanfics which is in the main CrW forum and then original ones in the CrW subforum.

Military space opera where there are massive space naval battles, ships explode, and the protagonist is a young starry-eyed Aussie anime girl. Or, Legend of the Galactic Heroes but with cute anime girls.

I've commissioned and paid artists on sketchmob or seek them out on twitter. Though the art is anime-style the artists I've worked with at least aren't Japanese, but usually Indonesaisn/Koreans or in the SEA region.

I aim for 500 words minimum, though I don't tend to write every day. Sometimes I make it, other times I might fall a little short. Sometimes I exceed it but that depends if I'm on crunch delays or simply in the mood. Pic is my word history since July; I'm on hiatus right now since I've been...

Ideally, it's a good idea to make a backlog (20-30 chapters worth of 70k words) and release each chapter daily. I've heard people that do this write one chapter one day, edit one the next, and so on until they reach their current chapters. But I didn't practice what I preached back then and...

Story on Royalroad: 42k views, 171 followers/43 favorites = Over a 13-month period with 93 chapters out so far. And the same story on Scribblehub: 105 readers, 7k views overall / 2.8k views in chapters = 5 months period Spacebattles: 1k views, 18 readers = Since June/July or so

I check impulsively every other hour of the day.

Speaking from experience here, you can schedule more than 60-70 chapters twice a day daily (for 1-2 months) and still not get on trending at all. Bottom line is, it's going to be completely and utterly RNG/luck. In my case though. I'm not writing a popular genre, and some of my early chapters...

Solid start, but after ch14~17 to about ch30 there are some inconsistencies because many chapters were written months apart and out of order. Some fumbling use of past/present tense uses starting from the aforementioned chapters but it improves considerably in the middle half. Good supporting...

I post new chapters once a week on Friday or my extended weekend deadlines, and sometimes I miss even those and have to release them on the next weekday. Back then, I used to post chapters as soon as I finished them which meant every 3-4 days, but I started to slow down since it was proving...

June comes up to about 18k. This data was from Windows Scrivener 3 in Projects -> Writing History.

This advice is influenced by Royal Road but it's still applicable here. On there it's beneficial to post a chapter a day or two at different hours daily until you exhaust your backlog, as that might increase your chances of exposure by being in the latest update list. I've heard advice that...

I'm writing what I would want to read despite there being a distinct lack of space operas that scratch the itch I'm looking for.

Yes, but also no. Serial writing as a process for me is basically just infinite Nano until I die, lose interest in it, or my fic finishes. 🤠 My output for the past 3 months have hovered usually under 20k each or about 4 chaps a month.

You don't need to register. Sometime this year or late last year they implemented having you wait 20 seconds for an ad to play before you get your upload finished, I think imgur is probably the best one still though. There used to be some like pomf and all its clone variants. You can also try...
