Very much so, yes. I don't know much about either language, tbh. My main problem with Japanese is probably that I don't know where to put the stress and that I mix up syllables. Like, let's say a name has four or five syllables, then I am very likely to switch the fourth one with either the...

Since people have pulled this thread up again I'll add my two cents: I think there is no wrong way of how to shape your story as long as it's consistent in itself. So if you want to give characters English names because you prefer it that way, that's okay. It would likely start becoming strange...

Personally, I don't just think that it's not weird, I'd think it's awesome. If one of my favorite authors did that, I'd pounce on it in a heartbeat! :blob_aww:

Yes, I agree: Just google it. If it's not the abbreviation of a specific novel title, the explanation should be pretty easy to find. Even if it is a novel title, it might be easy depending on how popular the novel is and what else shares the abbreviation.

I wouldn't worry about that. If somebody points it out, just say "Ah, yeah, it sounds similar but it's different with a completely different character" :blob_sweat:

Acknowledgment? No, absolutely not. People who read a story and genuinely liked it would share a link to the original source because they want to help us so we can write more. Pirate sites just pick up the text and show it on their own sites while never linking back to the actual source. It's...

Oh, there is going to be a movie? :blob_aww: Truth be told, I haven't even finished watching the series (I tend to pause and then not remember where I was so I don't know where to pick it up again) but maybe I'll just give it a good guess and go for it again ... As for sharing manga and...

I usually trust that it's Grammarly that's wrong. And if not ... somebody less retarded will point it out to me one day :blob_sweat:

I mean this is a BL thread ... :blob_sweat:

I didn't know either and googled it. Apparently, it's a strange-looking chair with big armrests that people use for workouts and that is being advertised by bad infomercials :blob_blank:

A Hawaii chair? For workouts? :blob_blank:

I actually feel like the ones whose first language is English might be the minority here :blob_sweat:

*ponders* Maybe you should have made that the title or something :blobrofl: Thank you! :blob_nom:

The fuck?! Looks like I should have been more impolite when filling out the poll ... I'll remember this for next year! :blob_catflip: (We will do one next year, won't we? :blob_aww:)

Mn ... then what does our number of strong likes say? :blob_blank:

Oh, that's an interesting point. I finally went with the 'ancient times' tag now and threw out the 'ancient China' tag because it seemed to fit well and the eastern part could be inferred from the synopsis. But I'll keep this in mind for future projects where it might be necessary to...

I see you are still salty about that :blob_sweat: I actually haven't seen the results. Was it really that bad?

Uh! I always take recommendations for Ger stories, btw! I haven't read much but I think I find the idea really interesting :blob_aww: You know you can ask and we'd do our best to answer, yes? :blob_melt:

I actually don't hate it. It's not necessarily my favorite BL trope but I think if it's done nicely it's, well, nice :blob_sweat: I sometimes wish the authors would put more effort into the world-building though :blob_no: I'm afraid we're just super chatty :blob_pout:
