    Have you ever thought, “What if my story never gets popular?”

    Maybe an equally interesting question would be "What would you do if your story became insanely popular?"

    Do you ever overuse certain words?

    The Ghostbuster Scam. Fun but has so much of The Butler present it's almost more fun to look for obvious AI moments (character names changing. brows furrowing, everyone breaking out in a cold sweat, etc.)

    Do you ever overuse certain words?

    At least you don't have The Butler (I hope ... otherwise the guy is really bad) making EVERYONE (even the dog) furrow their brows at least twice a chapter as a certain audionovel does... I'm sure there are several I overuse. I try to fix that in editing and probably am not as good as I should...

    Ask Bianca #1

    Why can't we go nuts? That part disqualifies me from asking ... well... anything. Oops.

    What's your biggest strength as a writer?

    From what I've been told, idle banter between characters.

    Could there be an drop/exit interview?

    Given how rare comments are, someone filling out an "exit interview" seems ... unlikely even if it were mandated somehow.

    The Asha Effect

    From my experience, noir heroes and heroines are usually good-looking, though they may have some odd physical trait that keeps them from being great-looking (the great-looking ones are usually either the villains or the victims who don't last long). Sam Spade is supposed to be an attractive man...

    Y'all think I should try a Sugar Mommy harem?

    Well, since Sugar Daddy harems only produce Sugar Babies - and those candies are just WIERED you may have a tough row to hoe.

    How does LitRPG passive skills level up?

    In some actual games there are very convoluted systems. For example, in the original version of RoleMaster, you got 10x experience points the first time you did ANYTHING - stand, speak, eat... So you started with 1000, reflecting the experience of a young adult. Each time you face a specific...

    How does LitRPG passive skills level up?

    Most skills can be passive or active. Passive use has a lower chance of success, and gains fewer "level up points" but still can increase.

    Grimdark vs. Nobledark: Which fiction do you prefer?

    There was a game with a few novels and a shortstory collection called "Bloodshadows" that pretty much was this. Grim fantasy noir. The "Adjective Metal Noun" series by Glen Cook (Petty Pewter Gods, etc.) kind of dabbled in this but was more light-hearted.

    The Asha Effect

    Nah, explicitly stated opposite effect, good or bad. Two offbeat examples: Gojira - he was everything Japan feared, rampant, destructive, nuclear, unforgiving, can't be communicated with (well, except by the twins of Infant Island). Yet, somehow, he wound up becoming a hero over time because...

    What comes first: Character or Plot

    Varies. Strange Awakening started with the character, but Between Worlds ... well, the two grew organically together. Other times, the plot comes first. Sometimes I even start with a collection of scenes and try to figure out what connects them.

    1 Month on Scribble Hub: 65 Readers! (Better start than when I debuted in Japan!)

    Sounds about average to me.

    New here, a question

    If I recover the files to my story about a singer, I'd probably do the same thing for two or three of his songs, honestly.

    'Sugar Mommy' or 'Dommy Mommy' character

    That's not what Oedipus said... (Edit: The one from the Greek tragedies, not Oedipus Ashley Stevens from The Tick)
