Nothing more needs said on this really, but I'll say more anyway, just to discuss. Good data collection is actually incredibly difficult. Polls, comments, even the SH data in the author dashboard is all imperfect (as almost all data is). Poll data is answered by the type of people who answer...

Year of the Horse. Horses are the most chud of the domesticated animals. Thus, it is year of the chud.

This is misinterpreted information. You can only appear in the "recently updated" 2 times in a 24 hour period. This makes people believe that you're shadow banned because you didn't show up there. Maybe there is some other backend system to flag you if you post like 100 chapters or something...

Anyone have any clue as to whether it was just translations, or also AI generated stuff?

I generally understand that people feel like they have more control of the situation if they get mad at administrative decisions, rather than the people breaking the rules (after all, one already has shown their willingness not to comply, so it's pointless to complain to them). However, I get...

I'd recommend just using the website's built in editor that you're copy and pasting into. You *may* be able to fix it by pasting into a google doc, then copying it again into the SH editor. As Envy has said though, the formatting is so unreadable, especially for mobile, that you're going to...

I don't know... if you want a comedically gay man, naming him Guy Gayman and making his entire personality be that he's gay could work in the right setting.

The main thing to keep in mind is how each side would handle truces and temporary alliances. The Allies in ww2 are a good example of the fact that multiple enemy wars devolve into 2 sided wars that happen in series (ww2 immediately was followed by the cold war). It really comes down to simple...

I personally don't think it'd be bad, though AI is a bad tool for it. English language grammar rules are finite, and have been figured out for over a decade in software (see grammarly etc). Using AI is more akin to an editor. One which you're likely to trust in full because you don't...

I handwrite at a decently fast pace, but my typing speed is pretty much on par. That said, I still handwrote all my notes. There is a lot more freedom to correct and make changes, add subtext, etc, in handwritten notes.

"I'll have to get the good clay and my fancy silver stylus for this line. It'll be so ??"

Even at my prime of handwriting (in college), I preferred typing. I can type for pretty much all day. If I had to write for 90 minutes straight, my hand would be cramping to the point where I can't write for the rest of the day.

I tried to write a second one alongside my main story a few times, but I've been unable to do so. I think I'd be able to do multiple stories depending on the type of story, but my current one takes way too much mental effort.

First off, very impressive! As an aside on this, I think that the rise of people being told to touch grass comes from an over consumption of media within their own country. Basically, some people have isolated themselves from their own communities that they live in, and believe their own media...

I think every fiction is going to always promote the writer's culture, whatever it may be. Our brains develop cognitive bias based on things we've seen or heard, and thus our understanding of how people, and things, work will always end up baked into any story we tell. Even if you consciously...
