    Adding maps and charts to your stories

    Ai-chan made a map for Ai-chan's Felicia's Second Life. You can look at it on Amazon. The map is part of the free preview. Ai-chan also makes the school map for The Hounds of Hell, but it's been a pain in the ass. It's still halfway complete. Hopefully, Ai-chan can finish with it soon. On the...

    So, just wondering...

    Ai-chan doesn't block any genre. Because Ai-chan doesn't read anything other than Ai-chan's own story. Bahahahahaha!

    What are your thoughts on villainess stories?

    Frankly, Ai-chan thinks that the villainess trope is way overused these days. And worse, a lot of those are basically just copy-paste of each other. That being said, Ai-chan is currently outlining a villainess-like story, but not from the villainess's point of view. Ai-chan will not say...

    Writing I need tips and tricks for writing combat scenes.

    Imagine yourself as one of the participants. Put yourself into the shoes of one of the characters. If your character wields a sword, hold a stick in the middle of a field and fantasize as if you're facing off against multiple opponents. If you're gunslinging, make the pew pew pew sound too. It's...

    Is my story correctly tagged? Martial Spirits, Soul Power?

    Yes, fantasy is correct, even if it's contemporary setting. Fantasy is basically anything that is not really realistic, and 'fantasy' is not a reference to 'Fantasy Other World', though it could be. Paranormal is more long the line of ghosts, evil demons and ESP. Ai-chan can't say anything...

    Help, that i need for i dont know what is thy i do?

    Microsoft Word has a habit of pushing its formatting on other formatted medium. The easiest thing to do is to copy-paste your Microsoft Word texts into non-formatting medium such as Notepad, and then copy-paste what you pasted on Notepad into Scribblehub. Take note that you absolutely need to...

    Healers

    That wasn't how mages and priests of old work though. Sure, there were priests of the old religion who swore an oath of no harm, such as the priests of Apollo. However, a lot of the priests and 'mages' of the past did not subscribe to the idea of pacifism. Ai-chan doesn't know how many of them...

    Healers

    There is no need to follow the trope that healers can only heal. The idea that healers can only heal is based on modern hippocratic oath system, it's a fairly modern invention. Hippocratic oath itself is ancient, but it's been institutionalized in modern warfare via Geneva Convention. Geneva...

    The Second Tempest Contest

    But there are already stories listed in the contest that use stolen cover, claiming they will change the cover later, yet it's approved? Granted, Ai-chan only found one and only by accident, but were you aware of this? Or is it because you just don't have time to check yet?

    Do you write what you like to read? Or does it differ?

    It's the opposite of Ai-chan. Ai-chan likes horror because it's the only way to terrify Ai-chan's dudette without terrifying Ai-chan as well. But gore, Ai-chan isn't really into it. Ai-chan only writes what Ai-chan dreamed and what Ai-chan can imagine. If it's not imaginable, Ai-chan won't...

    The Second Tempest Contest

    Yes. What is meant to be a 'non-mainstream weapon' is more along the line of bricks, roof plates, lotus plant and maybe a car. Take this thread to understand the inspiration behind this category https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/almighty-brick.3141/ Be creative. Go outside, look at the...

    Writing How important glossary is for you?

    Ai-chan loves the feature, though Ai-chan rarely use it because Ai-chan is lazy. It's great in that you could make a glossary page, then link a word in the chapter to that page, allowing readers to see the relevant information with just a click.

    How do you think about this character?

    Yes. The fact that his whole family has it means the power can be inherited. The smart thing to do would be to keep a few of them indebted to you. Raise them from young to be loyal to you, through kindness, luxuries or just indoctrination. But since the idea of raising them to be sacrificed...

    How do you think about this character?

    Ai-chan personally thinks this character's power is too powerful. Sure, he can only use it when he dies, but this has the potential of killing huge number of people, even those who do not really have anything to do with it. Let's face it, we are human, we think bad things all the time. Ai-chan...

    Worst gifts to give someone

    Except that those are thumbtacks (or whatever they call it over there). If they take those condoms, it would be no different from not wearing any because the condom now has holes. Ai-chan knows this because if Ai-chan has a cute little brother on fucking terms, Ai-chan would use thumbtacks to...

    The Second Tempest Contest

    Perhaps make several premises for something to be considered non-mainstream? For example, Ai-chan suggests: 1. Not used in wars (real or fictional) - which means guns and swords are out 2. Not used in duels (real or fictional) - considering that there's a real duelling manual for scythes, that...

    Choose

    Out of the three, Ai-chan would choose bloodline for the context given. Though if it's based on the person's soul and carried over through reincarnations, maybe Ai-chan would say Soulform or Soulcore.

    Can we have a Nonfiction genre?

    Ai-chan agree that there should be a nonfiction genre. After all, Tony never said anything about this place being only for fiction. If it's a novel, then it should have a place here. Nonfiction novels such as biographies are also a common category in bookstores. As long as it's an actual book...

    Add Paragraph Comments!

    You asked this: Ai-chan answered. Do not forget what you yourself said. Ai-chan didn't reply to the rest of your reply because it was clear that you were triggered or angry. Ai-chan has no interest in entertaining that, as to reply further would only cause the discussion to devolve into poo...

    Add Paragraph Comments!

    Why Ai-chan uses TwentyTwelve instead of Wattpad or Webnovel? Simple. The front page of scribblehub is made with wordpress. TwentyTwelve is a wordpress theme. You think Tony programmed everything himself? No, he doesn't have the time to do that. He'll just buy a wordpress theme or plugin and...
