    What would you say you struggle to write most?

    I have yet to see someone complain about the lack of smut scenes in my literally advertised as school life webnovel. Its a preempted defense not something anyone's been weird enough to test.

    What would you say you struggle to write most?

    Smut scenes. My asexual ass don't know what to be doing besides cut to black. That's actually why half my characters are underage. So I can write romance without the expectation of that. Or if people do expect that I can just tell them "ew she's 15"

    How long are your first chapters?

    My first chapter is less than 2000 words. It might be one of the shortest chapters. However, I will note that I dropped the first six chapters at once to bootstrap engagement. Those six chapters together add up to over 10000 words. So like: You don't need a long establishment chapter to draw...

    Do anyone got mad at themselves when they stop the ongoing series to do another novel series?

    I have forbidden myself from starting another project till I finish the current one. I've got a lesbian monsters vs aliens fanfic and another schoollife drama this time with superheros in the pipeline, and I'm not allowed write so much as a summary until my current story is tied off in a neat...

    Did the way views are counted change?

    On my last two chapters my views dropped off dramatically, but other engagement statistics remain largely the same. 8 hours after upload for "Little Lion Man" I had one view and three likes. How does that even work? My latest chapter has 2 views but I can see in the recent readers statistic on...

    are you using linux distros?

    I do own those exact socks and am linux user. Like I haven't used windows as a daily driver since 8.1

    Thoughts on pure Slice of Life?

    So something like Akebi's Sailor Uniform? I love that shiz. Like I wouldn't like a show based upon my own life because if my own life was interesting (or at least more interesting) I wouldn't be a writer (or I'd be a very different sort of writer). But life doesn't need magic or grand quests to...

    First novel, I need some help

    Actually, you know what's weird? This morning my latest chapter had 3 likes and only one view. I think the site's metrics might just be a little confused right now

    are you using linux distros?

    I use Arch BTW actually for real it actually makes a difference to my writing. Keyboard layouts on linux are text files you can just edit. I edited mine to include some symbols I use a lot and would otherwise need to learn some unicode hold super and shift and enter its hex value bullshit for...

    What is the biggest mistake in your life?

    When I was 12 I did something to my phone that software bricked its wifi module by not properly following a tutorial. It didn't work again for the entire time that phone was my daily driver. Eventually after it had been replaced I finally followed my dad's advice and factory reset it, which did...

    How to keep writing when no one reads your novel

    I set out with a specific plan in mind with the intention to carry it through to its end. This was about proving I could write a longer form story. I definitely have made small course corrections due to reader reaction. (For example, Charlie was just someone they bumped into and I had no wider...

    What do you use to write with?

    KDE Ghostwriter. Markdown has its limitations compared to word but the tradeoff is I get a lot more control. Word is an xml document under the hood and can wind up with invisible empty elements. Meanwhile markdown gives me direct control over where to put "begin italics" and "end italics"...

    Stories with an MTF protagonist, discovering herself. Bonus points for romance!

    I know it probably fails your requirement of more grounded being a superhero story, but I will never miss an opportunity to tell people to read Cape and Capability by Alice Pryke. It has an MtF protagonist doing the self discovery thing as well as the funniest love triangle I've ever seen in my...

    Werewolves: Fluffy or Feral?

    Fluffy feels like a copout to me. Like is it really a werewolf if its not trying to rip your face off at least a little? That said, my own werewolf character is deep in cute, loyal and fluffy territory, with the caveat I'm trying to do something with the idea of people wrongly assuming savagery...
