    Which looks better?

    A and D both feel clean but B starts to feel a bit messy compared to them and C just feels too much with the double "Status:" just makes me think, why aren't these just a single entry together? While I voted D since it was a single vote only I think both A and D are the best.

    If you were an instrument, which band would play you?

    I imagine I would be the kind of birthday present that was given to a kid that is then completely ignored after it is unwrapped and put away. The unloved instrument that no one wants to play but maybe if I got renewed for another season it would be passed down to their daughter decades later and...

    What do you guys do to stay fit and healthy

    Currently about 4 or 5 months into daily exercise bike sessions which I do for a bit over 20 minutes. My resting heart rate has gone down by about 10-15 beats per minute since I started (high 70s to mid 60s kind of thing). My diet? Yeah that could use a lot of work but my weight has been pretty...

    Tell me the New Year's Resolution that you will keep. No, seriously, I'll follow through this year. Don't give me that look.

    While not really a new years resolution I am planning to learn guitar (when it finally gets here >.>)

    How much time does it take for series to be public

    Sometimes it takes a bit longer, 2 or 3 days even but it will happen.

    How much of How much do you want to know in a story as you read it?

    I think that very much depends on the story, sometimes you want to know as much as possible and sometimes you don't really care. A good story should likely add a fair bit without comprimising the pacing. I don't want a big impactful moment to completely stall out as we go on a multiple chapter...

    Anti-isekai story idea

    Sounds pretty fun, I had an idea a bit like it where someone keeps getting summoned to other worlds pretty rapidly but not long enough to solve the problems before they are summoned again (basically too much heroic potential that it keeps picking them). It leads to them become pretty jaded and...

    [POLL] Which type of villain is more up to your alley?

    A good villain to me is one that I could have the story from their perspective and still enjoy it so I guess that means more complex and full characters. The kind of character that isn't just some racist or something but actually has pain and fears, joys and goals, the idea even they have...

    Did you ever feel scared uploading your chapter

    Yes I often feel scared at some point or another uploading a story. It actually caused one to stall completely. Most of the time I just feel uncomfortable and post it. I gave up on the idea of big numbers and that is okay. As long as I can read it that is enough, if someone else enjoys it then...

    How harsh are you on your main characters?

    I can be harsh enough a friend thinks I have problems and objects to some of my endings. In fact some of my unreleased writing is so bad one got my friend to hate it enough I changed the ending so they survived with a happy ever after (they still paid for it with more suffering >.<). Granted not...

    FOR NEW AUTHORS

    I would add to this that no matter if you are doing 1 or 2 you should write in your own style and develop it naturally. We don't need another <insert author> we already have one, it is best to use your own style and quirks that come naturally and evolve it because it is a lot easier to write...

    FOR NEW AUTHORS

    Other tip is write for yourself, it is about making something as a creative outlet or to read. Others reading it can be nice, ideally people enjoy it but if you are only writing for others you will almost certainly get disappointed. The person that has been reading my stuff most? That's me, I...

    I want to write, but i cant think of a "direction."

    If you have enough of the foundation, a world, characters, systems then put the character into it and see where they go, what do they want? What motivates them? What scares them? What might make a path forward happen? I tend to write in a way that if I don't have ideas on the details I just...

    April Fools Thread?

    I already saw the effects yesterday and after seeing how much is being hit today I decided I needed to give an update that I will never do fake chapters or updates. Hope everyone enjoys the internet being useless for around 48 hours. Guess I will just play steam games or something to get through...
