Writer: i am edgie and dont follow ur gramer and ritin rulz Reader: What is this unreadable garbage? *presses the one star* *makes alt accounts to continue one starring it*

How do you define evil? Murder, violence, theft? Is it murder if that person is in the middle of a war? Is it violence if the violence happens in self-defense? Is it theft when you are stealing food at a time when you are in danger of dying if you don't eat? Anti-hero usually applies to a...

Having posted my works on multiple sites I found that I got the least usable reader feedback from here. I also found that I got a lot more negative reactions to my works by posting unpopular messages in the forum than I did from posting chapters. Even my older one-shot works that hadn't seen the...

Tell the story you want to tell the way you want to tell it. That's writing.

I just lost a chapter to a cat attack. My cat jumped up on the keyboard managed to ctrl+a with her back paws and then delete with her front paw. I would have killed her if I wasn't too busy petting her to relieve the stress of losing my work. I realized at that moment there is no perfect writing...

I guess you didn't care for A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain.

Give your villain depth beyond what they have done. People aren't just a series of actions, they need to have hopes and dreams. A mindless killing machine is just a machine until it cares about a kitten.

Some of your readers won't really understand what they read. Not everyone online is fluent in English for one, and two not everyone is good at picking up foreshadowing, soft hints, or even the obvious. Sometimes you (any author) legitimately make mistakes that can be corrected. People do feel...

Someone needs to make a human centipede and caption it, "It's like this, only for writers."

As a reader, one of the things that will turn me off on reading a story is if it is written in the present tense. I am just not a fan of reading someone's diary. As an author, I say write the story you want to tell in the way you want to tell it.

I can't force myself to feel one way or another emotionally either. When it comes to writing though, I can discipline myself to do it. Even if I write something unpublishable, I still write during the same few hours each day. When I am completely uninspired or just don't have a story to tell, I...

I don't feel sadness during my writing process. I write because I have a story to tell, as a result during my writing process I am fairly manic. If there is any sadness that happens to me as an author it comes from the results of sharing my work. I just try to discipline myself to write more no...

Most of the authors who write here on Scribble Hub are fans of the Asian light novel writing style which encourages pure wish-fulfillment and over the top Mary Sue characters. Most of these kinds of stories follow a very formulaic pattern of weak guy gets stronger by fighting a stronger guy over...

For online writing like web novels, you just need eyeballs on your work. Post it to a few different sites, spread the word on social media and with friends you game with or things like that. After you have eyeballs on it, then you just need to get lucky and write the thing lots of people want to...

Yeah, that was one of the threads. The constant barrage of negative ratings went on well after I ended the story and it was no longer in the trending section too. I'm sure bringing that thread up again will invite those people into another round of one star and negative reviews on my stories.

Write the way you are comfortable writing. If you aren't comfortable writing much smaller chapters, continue to write the way you have been. If you change your style to appeal to potential readers it won't feel right to you. That kills your inspiration to write. If you really feel like your...

Oh, I only added my story to the contest because I wanted to give myself a little pressure to write (deadline mainly) My story already went far beyond the needed 40k words so that reason for being in the contest isn't there to hold me. I just want my story to be read at this point. I decided to...

I just write as I am inspired and release as I finish a chapter.

Rule 7 of the contest rules is, " Using bots to increase your statistic will get you disqualified and blacklisted from future competitions." How is this rule enforced if no one is moderating the contest entries? If an author uses bots say one or two days in a row to put themselves on the front...

I have a question... So I submitted my entry on May 30th. I have managed to bang out nearly 60,000 words so far. My entry has made the jump from 50th place up as high as 11th place. However, the stories above mine and below mine keep showing up in the trending list. Obviously, if you are writing...
