    Story followers not picking up all. Any suggestions?

    Note that I'm going by what I have been told for part of that - only have one story near the 50 chapter mark here (have two over 100 at Pocket FM though... that is a different dynamic though - there it seems frequent posting is the ONLY key, unless they choose to promote your story, to increase...

    Anyone else struggle to write romance

    I had a mental block regarding romance for several years until I sat down and read a few. Only finished about 1/3 of the ones I read, because most of them were either the rubbish I'd expected or devolved to softcore (or not so soft core) porn fairly quickly, and that's never been my "thing" -...

    Story followers not picking up all. Any suggestions?

    You should get a small bump when your chapter count is in the 20s, a bigger bump at fifty and the biggest at around 100.

    Did someone say your short story is confusing? If so, watch this!

    I may be able to skip this one - about the only things my short stories (unlike my long fiction, which can be confusing ... sometimes even for me... oops... :D) have NOT been accused of is being confusing. Too long? Yep. Too short? Yep. (Sometimes the same one...). Too vague of an ending...

    Banned by mistake.

    If you were talking to one or more scammers and someone reported them, you probably got caught in the net when they were banned.

    Writing Why would you study creative writing if a good narrative doesn't guarantee popularity?

    While you are correct, most artists do study the works of others, either to learn what to emulate, or what to avoid. Creative Writing classes can help this if run well (or crush this if run poorly, by focusing on works the teacher likes instead of ones that are timeless examples, or by avoiding...

    Young Gods - Fate and Reality (Audiobook links)

    I believe the best way to include links is either: 1) A separate post, a one chapter "launching page" with links to the reading file and the audio. 2) Author's Notes on each page as it's read 3) A Spoiler tag.

    Is this real or not?

    I think they get offended if you ask to talk to a different office. At least from comments I've seen on the Discord.

    Is this real or not?

    Nice! Wish I could deal with the US office (I've heard they have offices in China, Japan, the US and South Korea but you only get to deal with the one that reaches out to you unless they transfer you to a different one) - might actually get paid then... And they might be a little less hesitant...

    Done all three. Depends on my mood and the type of story.

    Got my first real compliment

    THey try to lure people to Discord, WhatsApp or other applications so that they won't get their accounts banned here for engaging in prohibited scam artistry.

    I'm a "top-100" author (???)

    Funniest for me is rank 18 in Delusions, a tag I accidentally included but ... it seems to work. Also have stories at 122 and 444 in Superheroes

    Editing Revising Chapter 1 while webnovel is live?

    If it's a minor revision to correct errors, don't worry about it. If it's a substantial revision that does not effect the overall story, then attach an Author's Note (in My Stubs, I have two versions of the opening chapter of one story, with reasons why they are different as an example). The...

    Did anyone cringe after looking back their early chapters?

    No, but they'd been through a few revisions, and I had some semi-professional experience before I started... Now, if you find stuff I wrote before 1990, then I probably would cringe (especially if it includes any of my attempts at poetry).

    Do anyone got mad at themselves when they stop the ongoing series to do another novel series?

    No, but sometimes I feel disappointed with myself for not going back to some older ones (especially if I forget details of what I'd planned when I do go back).

    Sadly, no. Would have gotten paid by them at least once already if I were...

    Writing Overthinking thumb dislocation?

    Just have a small, sharp jagged object nearby. Broken glass, exposed metal, chair with crack in it. With her experience at this, she spots it right away and uses it to weaken the ropes enough to get out.

    Will my story get deleted

    If you provided proof you were the author when you uploaded here OR if this is the first place you uploaded to, you only have to worry if it's in different languages on different sites (then you may have to provide or re-provide proof if someone accuses it of being a translation).
