It's cool, no problem. Ai-chan chooses to write sci-fi because nobody writes sci-fi. Everyone wants to write fantasy. After a while, it gets repetitive no matter how much you want to be different, readers just don't feel like they can be invested anymore. Awesome! Ai-chan will add you once...

You don't have to give full-blown reviewer feedback every chapter. If you see the interaction of lifelong enemies such as Mr. Ace and Ms. Bell feels a little stale, you can comment on that too. If you feel like you can suggest improvement on some action scenes, you can say that too. All that...

So to make story short, Ai-chan is going to cheat. There, let's get that out of the way. Frankly Ai-chan doesn't know whether to post this here in Author's section or Reader's section. @Tony , what do you think? What do you guys think? Basically, what Ai-chan is looking for is people who are...

None. Whatever Ai-chan finished writing, Ai-chan upload right away. Probably that's the reason not many people read Ai-chan's stories.

Try Writeway or Focus Writer. Writeway is very similar to Scrivener, but with a few features less and not having cloud support. It used to be quite pricy but the programmer has retired and offered the software for free. The programmer originally developed it for his wife, who was an author...

That's bad advice that published authors are starting to call bull. It can work if you want everything in past tense, but it's completely counterproductive and confusing for anything else. With your friend's advice, all the dialogues and proses will be in past tense. In the first place, a story...

Only if it matters. if it's a Jack Bauer-style story, such as what happens when you need to race against the clock to reach a conclusion. If not, and it's not necessary or helpful to the story, then it's just a waste of space. You don't have to dictate everything for your readers. If your...

Here are some examples of making it clear from the start. This is the comic adaptation of the popular gender-bending reincarnation fantasy novel! Somehow I was reborn as the beautiful young heroine of an x-rated game. No matter what route I take in this game, I'll be captured and sexed-up by...

I'd say the feeling matters more. If the protagonist was originally male, genderbent into female, but still identifies as a male and acts or thinks as a male, then if he falls in love with a male, that's a gay romance. If he genderbent into a female, identifies as a male and acts or thinks as...

It's generally much easier to make it either at the start of the chapter or separate the flashback into a completely different chapter altogether. You need to consider the transition if you make the flashback and current events exist in the same chapter.

Don't call it fanfiction. Just take the elements such as: 1) Slave harem 2) Labyrinth exploration 3) Resetting skills 4) Magic And boom, you've got a generic isekai harem story. Unless using the same name is very important to you. You can give it a different title such as "Dungeoneering Slave...

Ai-chan made them myself! Then once Ai-chan got the images done, Ai-chan use Canva to make a professional-looking cover. Making the images isn't hard since Ai-chan is pretty good with photoshop. With Canva, the issue with what font to use and where to place them are greatly reduced. If you're...

Ai-chan normally don't put chapter titles, but Ai-chan does for stuff on scribblehub. Why? That's a secret between Ai-chan and the electronic god. Titles for chapters are generally an afterthought. Once a chapter is written, Ai-chan reads from top to bottom. Then Ai-chan decides on the most...

There's nothing wrong with that. It's when you use characters, magic system or other elements from Infinite Stratos and Saijaku Bahamut together in your novel that it becomes fanfiction of both. If it's just referencing, it's not a big deal. Actually it's illegal, but nobody wants to make a fuss...

Yes, if you use another author's story, use the author's characters, names of places, storyline and anything that explicitly identify as that person's work, you are breaking copyright law. Specifically, you are breaking that author's copyright. That's the legal side of things. If you want to...

Made them myself using canva. As for the actual graphics, some were Ai-chan's own art. Some others are taken from googling. Ai-chan try to use only images that are either free, free for non-commercial use, its purpose of usage has expired or has been shared so many times the artist likely...

Unless you take the Kindle Unlimited option, there is no exclusivity deal. Only when you go Kindle Unlimited that you have to pull out from every other place. What does happen though, is that Amazon wants the lowest price anywhere. If you sell on Amazon, Smashwords and iTunes, at the same...

Ai-chan already does. It did fairly well at first, for a no name author. However, that 'fairly well' would be considered 'pitiful' by most people's standards. Sure, a lot of people buy your books, but much of the proceeds are pocketed by Amazon. Meanwhile, if your 'customer' didn't like your...

For a kid, these things usually leave a lasting effect. Ai-chan knows a girl who was bullied at school during elementary days 20 years ago and to this day has not left her house at all. So much so that simply taking a step outside her house gave her a heart attack. No joke, this really happens...

Not necessarily. While shorter chapters does limit what you can write, it doesn't have to be of lower quality. In many cases, stories with short chapters are of better quality as the author removes fillers that make the stories boring or lengthy. Of course Ai-chan isn't talking about shianshia...
