Yeah, I can also see where it's coming from but personally, I find it quite annoying. I don't have anything against manga/anime and will even read/watch when I'm in the mood but I'm not interested to the point where I understand all the genres/tags we have on SH. So sometimes when I am setting...

God, I sometimes wish SH wouldn't use all these Japanese distinctions or at least give us a list with explanations. I'm suddenly realizing I probably made quite a few mistakes when I filled out the survey :blob_no: I had no idea it was so bad :blob_blank: I actually don't understand the hate...

True, I didn't even wasn't to argue this. I think what @tigerine meant also wasn't in regard to your point about an LGBT+ genre but to the short bit between the other two (GL bad - fujoshis bad). Which I think is just a bit of a sore spot for lots of people writing BL. I definitely know it's for...

A low view count can be a real bummer. I'm surprised something with so many chapters would only reach a few hundred views though. Have you ever checked when/how they were updated? If they updated a large badge of chapters (because they originally posted somewhere else and then just moved here...

Unfortunately, that's true :blob_pout:

Yes, I would just make sure you introduce the characters and most important plot points that everyone needs to know. It doesn't even need to be much. Readers can usually piece quite a lot of stuff together, so painting a general view of 'that happened' is mostly enough. If you're unsure, maybe...

God, only a few things have been said and there's so much I want to answer to. I'll try to group this a bit: The first point is in regard to the discussion about an LGBT+ genre: Honestly, I do understand the worry that this might negatively influence the GL genre but I'm not sure if it is...

I absolutely agree with this viewpoint. I think that you can expect readers to read the volumes of one series in the right sequence (some actually don't but in that case, I feel it's their problem) but not a prequel and sequel. Those should be separated to a degree where everything stays...

Okay, thank you! Then I can use that :blob_melt:

I actually think it's alright to feel peeved about this. There aren't that many historical novels on this site in the first place, I suppose (at least it feels that way), so if they are mixed in with others that aren't really historical that makes it difficult to actually find what you like to...

I'd have a question regarding this: I can totally see how using the historical genre would be annoying and why it's wrong to use in the cases you mentioned. Would you say though that it's the same with history-related tags like 'ancient times' or 'ancient China'? The background of me asking is...

Haha, I know exactly how you feel :blob_sweat: I really love romance (I'm a sucker for the warm-fuzzy fee-fees everyone has :blob_melt:) as a genre but this is a part I'm not that interested in either so when writing, I often ignore it as well. I have to force myself to include it or I might...

Honestly, I always wonder if this might have less to do with the gay part and more to do with the romance part. Like, for most people, appearance is really important in finding a partner and romance stories are often self-inserts to a certain degree. So people might (no matter the gender and...

No, no, no! You are doing me dirty here! My definitions were: And to me, two guys are still a set of males (I only see it as not gendered if it's used to directly address a crowd 'cause context matters; one guy, two guys, three guys, ... any set number of guys, really, are all male to me) and I...

I actually hesitated at that question as well. People on SH are from all over the world, so their answers will also reflect the country they are from. Looking at it that way, even though a person might be poor for one country, they could be rich compared to a person from another country. So I...

Wouldn't a blank form make trouble for you though? :blob_blank: I think I'll just wait for the official summary :blob_pout:

I filled it out ... but I didn't see pies :blob_teary:
