    Dropped stories and vanishing authors.

    I was forced to remove two stories by PocketFM, and those two have taken most of my writing time so my others are all stalled at the moment. I suspect I'm not the only person in a situation like this (though I have started three other stories but then shelved them to keep my focus)

    What are you most hated novels, why?

    Of the ones I've finished reading Portrait of the Lady by Henry James. 400 pages of nothing - girl makes an obvious mistake in chapter two, ruins her life, and is about to make a better choice for the same bad reason at the end, as if she learned nothing.

    What Makes Rebellion Hit So Emotionally? (Wastelanders: War of Iritheum)

    Wait - so this is what is being left out (Excepted) and not EXPECTED? Interesting...

    Thank you, Mysterious reader, for giving my story plenty of comments!

    They are more often in private messages. I've had them from three sources so far.

    Readers Disappointed Because of the Author's Narrative Betrayal

    So far I've been warned away from stories where this would have happened, the most infamous being John Norman's Gor novels (where the MC goes from heroic freedom fighter to slave trader leading the people he sought to overthrow over the course of something like 17 novels - I've heard the first...

    Gimme a fun fact about your main character/s that isn't all that important to the story but interesting to know!

    You know the classical definition of "Mary" is "Sorrow," right? Most of the interesting facts about my characters eventually become plot points... But... While he was in the army, Jack Diamond collected a lot of medals, ribbons and pins - not "was awarded" - "collected." From bodies, from...

    Can You Write Deaths Right?

    He's been doing this for at least a year, probably longer, mostly via YouTube videos. I don't agree with all of it but most of it is worth listening to for ideas.

    I'd like to hear some thoughts about my novel

    I have two thoughts: 1) You should include a link to the novel (assuming it wasn't removed as a translation or violating site standards) 2) You should be asking this in the Story Feedback section, not Author General,

    Just released Daria: Sophomore Blues

    Completely forgot about that show. Never got into Beavis and Butthead, but caught one of the Daria marathons and it was fun. Keeping her attitude might be tricky - the laid back, casual sarcasm.

    Concept Idea- Paradoxic Love

    Never saw it but that sounds like a summary I heard of the movie "Somewhere in Time" with Cristopher Reeves and Jane Seymour (and I probably spelled at least one name wrong but, eh.)

    Looking for honest story reviews.

    Are any of them finished or are all ongoing?

    Concept Idea- Paradoxic Love

    This was an element of Doctor Who for about eight years - the first time the audience meets Doctor River Song is "A Silence in the Library" - but it is the last time The Doctor ever meets one of the women he marries. He regenerates twice (as an aside, the character was originally created to be...

    Should individual webserial books have proper endings?

    The story should build towards an ending but be stretched out as long as you can go without being repetitive or boring. Some webnovels get into the thousands of chapters before resolving. I plan to end one of mine somewhere around 150, and another is the first of a series and at 92 is at the...

    Is it AI?

    Feels like a trick question, like one sentence was written by a human and one by AI.

    What's your reason for not reviewing a novel?

    It's not complete. Reviewing an incomplete novel may lead to having to revise the review later. That and just not having the time to read it properly. Edit: As for ignoring "Requests for Feedback" (etc.) that is because there are so blasted many of them. If a story finishes (either one I'm...

    Can You Write Deaths Right?

    Well, its not reversible. Or ... shouldn't be. But the kid is stupidly powerful and might just break the rules (and the world)...

    I think I am the weird one

    We SELL a patch that says that. Also "But did you DIE?" and a bunch more - some NSFW.
