    Got bored, thoughts would be nice. (Updated)

    I found the writing very competent, easy to follow, good combo of enough that I knew what was happening and could let my imagination passively and effectively add texture. Very economical. Food for thought, speaking for myself and not as "empirical and objective seasoned writing expert" [a...

    I wouldn't mind reading your stuff and give you feedback.

    If you're able to get around to it; https://www.scribblehub.com/series/2196940/the-gestalt-archives-i--summer-/ I'm pretty up against the algorithm, lol

    If series includes [Suicide] tag, what are the specific guidelines? (see updated post below))

    So my story never depicts an act of suicide on page, but it's a subject that comes up and it deals with ghosts who often died from suicide. Not the only factor, but I felt it appropriate to turn on the filter. Especially given that suicide is tragically a very real phenomenon many have some...

    Thoughts on pure Slice of Life?

    My story started as pure slice of life with supernatural mixed in, and the first six chapters live off of the characters and their dynamics... then I got to chapters 7 & 8 and before I knew it scope and overarching plan dramatically expanded 😅 So I ended up with something that has Slice of Life...

    Writing Why would you study creative writing if a good narrative doesn't guarantee popularity?

    Assuming I had the occasion to study creative writing meaningfully, Because what's popular and what's qualitative are an overlapping distribution not perfect match, and studying creative writing could potentially help hone craft and broaden perspective. Maybe teach enough of what could help...

    D&D Inspired One-Shot, sharing practice discovery writing

    Wrote this for fun while practicing, and was encouraged to share it, but also don't want to clog the Feedback threads for people seeking dedicated help with craft. Disclaimer: While heavily d&d based, I fly fast and loose with cannon and mechanical rules. Contains mature subject matter without...

    Would you live in the backrooms?

    Tempting as $25/month in rent might be, I don't think I'd be able to live in the backrooms because I'm reasonably convinced I would die. I'm an asthmatic, and the entities would make quick work of me. But strong pitch for a terrible place. There's a career in MEG waiting for you

    I'm looking for a story with satire.

    I feel obliged to disclose that this satire revolves around modern political and social issues amid the supernatural themes, and will not offer you escapism or a clear cut team. But the satire is there https://www.scribblehub.com/series/2196940/the-gestalt-archives-i--summer-/

    Go the smut route or not?

    So keep in mind there's three options: Fade to black What I like to call "minimalist sans ambiguity"- the approach I will eventually use in my second novel- where the point isn't purple prose, erotica, titillation, or smut; but the actual interaction between the characters in context of their...

    Still makes me emotional

    Is this sex scene paced well?

    I personally find it difficult to find sexual content immersive or engaging stripped of the story's broader context (see what I did there?). I'm curious if this will get flagged and removed before you get the chance, but beyond that you might consider offering at least some genre context and...

    Which game did it to you?

    "Death is not a hunter unbeknownst to its prey, one is always aware that it lies in wait..." "Beyond the beaten path lies the absolute end... it matters not who you are, Death awaits you." But in the words of the great Lotus Juice via the Reload: "Tear up the fear, I got it locked down The...

    Which game did it to you?

    Persona 3 FES. Same. Never more depressed and more inspired. Persona is a major influence for my story.
