So I have a question about content rating. It's fairly no big deal but I want to double check how it's supposed to work.
The content warning switches on a story, particularly for vulgar language and cursing, says it's only for frequent use of. Not sure what that entails.
If I have a book that on average, uses about 10 or so curse words throughout the entire story (someone saying "damn" enough times), is that worthy of hitting that switch? Should I have something at the beginning that serves as its own chapter of a content rating, such as "mild use of cursing/vulgar language?"

I just don't want to have something yeeted when it goes live later for this reason.

Unless you meet a Karen as reader, nobody will sweat a few dozen “damn” when the character is being chased by man-eating monsters.

The content warning is for a lot of swearing but also profanity. In the end it comes down to people’s comfort zone. I’d only put the strong language warning when there are offensive/obscene words. Strong language also don’t necessarily mean only the typical swearing words, there are people who can swear so colorful without using ‘fuck’ once.

Whether you want to add a content warning is up to you. Warning people that the content may upset them can’t hurt. There’s no guarantee though that people will read it, but at least you have proof that you gave head ups.

As I thought then. Thank you

Um, does being a new user mean I can't use spoiler tags, or do they just not show up in the preview of a post?

Forum or main site as in story editor? They work a bit different, but that is a standard feature everyone can use.

Thanks a lot for the thread! Answered a bunch of my questions.

Dumb question, but will I run into trouble later if I embed an image that is a TIF image instead of a PNG? I don't think it should matter but I want to avoid that future headache if possible.

Dumb question, but why must it be TIF? You will probably get a error message if the image couldn't be embed or you will simply see it as broken image. However, I don't know, so just try it? It's easier using jpg or png.

Tif has a higher file quality retention than png, that and I would not have to spend the 5 minutes to convert them to png, + 5 min to reupload to the server. 50% of my reasoning can be broken down to preemptive laziness.

Volumes inside of SH?

Greetings again all. I want to ask a question, one I should know but am too scatter-brained today to be sure of. Does the SH author system allow or make use of book volumes (Segments of story continuations within a single publication)? If so, how do I access that here?

 

[JKhub]

Ah, no, there isn't any, I'm afraid.

I just know those things because I've been around since forever... >.>

since you know all. I can't post yet??? but I want to add an image to my first chapter, there is a post image button, but it asks or sourse??? instead of the usual, browse of from my computer to select? Have you any idea what the source is rederring to? Will I be able to select from a file brower and pick my image on my computer?
Thanks in advance...

I only know this because I see it asked a lot - "source" refers to an image hosting service; this site only holds the book covers and can't store other images so you have to use Imgur or one of the other image hosting sites out there.

Thank you most helpful. It seems kind of backward?
