:blobrofl: Maybe it's some beginner's luck buff from the God of Chinese BL so they aren't going to be scared off immediately :blob_sweat: I was wondering about this as well. I don't think so though. Like, if I remember from the other harem-posts, then the consensus was that harem means one...

You're super lucky in that case. Unfortunately, there are a ton of them in Chinese BL as well :blob_pout:

Funnily enough, I think that the fact that so few BLs bother to do that actually gives us lots of reason to write more novels. Not that we needed any :blob_sweat: Ah, I wanna write an ABO story ~ :blob_melt: I happen to think that there isn't much of a disguise there in lots of cases...

Well, time's precious, there are lots of good novels out there, so if I hate the main pairing(s), I'm just gonna drop it. I never force myself to slog through something that's not enjoyable. Also, just being loving and loyal isn't necessarily enough to make a character likable for me. I actually...

Maybe it's me who's just extremely picky but I actually feel like even a lot of 1x1 BL novels have that problem :blob_sweat: True Star is actually a supreme example of why I wouldn't pounce on a BL harem: From what I remember (it's been ages since I looked at it), the idea was intriguing but I...

Normal is usually not the best way to put it but I'd say there's definitely some rules that apply to the average conversation and that most people will adhere to. And that afaik even holds true across different languages. Like, yes, the average human being will make a pause or insert a filler...

As somebody who had to spend way too many semesters in university studying dialogue, I have to agree with quite a bit there. One thing I'd like to add though: Since this was intended as a look at what screenwriters do there's an added layer there that we don't have. I think that the way an actor...

All stories are manually checked before appearing on the site (publically for readers to see, the create dashboard is for you only so you can see it) so give it a few hours to show up.

I'm kind of confused with this as well, especially because there are several examples being brought up where new tags would be helpful in being able to tag right and where the existing tags don't encompass everything. I guess I could just ignore the whole discussion since I currently don't have...

I think I've already said enough on my stance regarding the tags in the other threads (in short: just give us an m/f relationship tag and we could close this whole case), so I just wanted to jump in and say something to this real quick: Neither approach ever works 100% IMO. Authors are just...

I somehow came for writing-related stuff and now I get series and movie recommendations. Gosh, I love SH :blob_sweat:

I actually don't know that show but that sounds like an intriguing concept. Guess I'll go check that out ~ :blob_melt:

Let me tell you a secret: I've written 20+ novels by now and with each and every single one of them I've had phases where I thought I was a bad writer and couldn't do shit and everyone would hate it. By now, I have these doubts slightly less often but they're still there and I don't think I'd...

I wonder if there's a specific novel that set everyone off :blob_hmm_two: https://forum.scribblehub.com/threads/is-anyone-else-bothered-by-the-large-amount-of-gl-novels-containing-het.3362/ https://forum.scribblehub.com/threads/separated-bg-boy-girl-aka-m-f-romance-genre-or-tag.3388/ So, to...

I think this is actually really good. I can't say anything about how it fits into the story overall but from what you've said, it sounds like this scene is important to the overall plot. And the description shows that IMO. It's very ... atmospherical I'd say. Like, the way you describe the...

I understand the worry but I think it's not needed. Personally, I have stories ranging from about 1k words/chapter to 5k words/chapter. The difference isn't necessarily in the pace of the story just like @GDLiZy just said. The longer ones are often more descriptive than the shorter ones (e.g...

I really like that comparison. Actually makes me want to whip out Affinity and make a het+LGBTQ+ version of it :blobrofl: That's an interesting idea. Considering I have seen posts where people were doing some statistics stuff on genres and such, this could probably be done automatically...

I mean, it would be nice to have all the major categories at least to showcase the spectrum of possible relationships and sexualities. Currently, we don't even have that. It's imo somewhat different with gender. There's a female protagonist tag, a male protagonist tag, a transgender tag, and a...

Haha, it's actually not that deep. No social life (so more time for writing), ridiculously low cost of living (so fewer hours in my other job and again more time for writing), eight years of experience (less time needed to finish a chapter now), and then you just go from there. Write every day...

I try to have a stockpile of about a week's worth of releases. Because I write several projects at once, that's about 15-20 chapters overall but sometimes only one chapter per project while the one with the daily releases will have seven. It works ... most of the time but stops working as soon...
