    Forgiveness is Transactional

    Something I read in stories from time to time is some kind of forgiveness plot. Most of them lack the catharsis that would make them work. Why? Because forgiveness is a transaction. EX: Char1 : I can't pay you back, will you forgive me? Char2 : I understand, and will forgive you. Bad EX...

    Was playing around with co-pilot to try to make a novel cover.

    Some of them came out better than others

    Would it be possible to host twine / HTML based CYOA stories here?

    Not sure if this is too different than what scribblehub is supposed to be. They are sorta stories. Though it would be really cool if people could put creations like that here.

    Good starts to a story.

    So picked up a new book and thought that it was quite the fun start. There are questing stones that do a route along towns that takes 9 years to complete giving out quests that give classes. However, some towns decided they didn't want the stones to leave so they put out guards to keep them...

    Book about why the soviet education system is better than the US. (forgotten title)

    I heard on a podcast somewhere that there was a book that scared the US Populus in the cold war. I can't remember the title. I think it might have been something like "Why Ivan is smarter than timmy" but can't figure it out. The podcast said that is the book that got Dr Seuss to start writing...

    Tension management.

    So I am reading this story that is really good. I think I'm about halfway through and things were getting tense. Too tense Point being, and some people that are more professional can explain this better but lots of life-or-death situations piled one on top of each other.... well it kinda...

    Game setting novels with open world PK.

    I know that suspension of disbelief is a requirement in reading fantasy but I see open world PK so often in game world settings it grates. A game has to be commercially viable. So they actually need to maintain a player base. Still with me? Well, 20 years ago MMOs tended to all have open...

    Town / nationbuilding favorites?

    Does anyone have any favorites in this genre? I liked civ ceo for a bit. Civilization starts with a village was cool for the first book but got off track really quick. If anyone knows of a book that they keep that the main thing it would be nice to know so I can check it out.

    Tip hyper links open in new tab?

    It is not a big thing but a small quality of life would be if clicking the links to kofi / patreon opened the link in a new tab instead of being a normal hyperlink.

    Yet Another Feedback Thread

    I figured I'd throw out my own feedback thread. 1.) I've been told that I'm very blunt. So keep that in mind. 2.) I don't really like grimdark all that much. So if it is a murderhobo story I'd rather not read it. 3.) Smut. I don't mind a little smut but anything that is pushing scribblehub's...

    Are people afraid to write reviews?

    I have been thinking people really don't share their opinions much here. I wonder if it might be because they are afraid of review backlash. There have been a couple people that talk about getting review bombed. Is that playing some part about how people don't write reviews?

    Stupid Drama anyone?

    Yours truly is on the board of a small HOA. About a year ago, the former board officer effectively swatted one of the people who lived here. He of course sewed. This was to be expected because he is one of those people who are spring loaded to lawyer up. Some time later, in one of the...

    Steampunk tag please

    I was reading a story where the MC had a dapper cane, a top hat and a stylish suit. Everyone rode around on trains and acted very polite. I was about to comment "Why doesn't this story have a steampunk tag?" but went to see if that was a valid tag. Much to my surprise it appears there is no...
