I saw this over on the Royal Road forums and thought it sounded fun. Your main character is walking through town when they happen to see their wanted poster hanging on the wall. What does it say? Here's mine: Miranda Jackdaw Wanted for the Theft of 569 Enchanted Weapons 840 Pieces of Enchanted...

I was reading over my notes for XNPC earlier, and it struck me just how many monster girls I have planned for this story. There's Miranda, the FMC who's a Faun. There's Zara, who's a... actually, that would take some explaining, so let's just call her an elf. In future books, I have plans to...

Good evening, mostly people. Your least favorite badger here, and I just wanted to give you all a heads up that I don't draw. Because of this, I am not accepting commissions, but I'm more than happy to take your money anyway if you feel like giving it to me. Pricing starts at $100 and goes...

I just got the first rough sketch of XNPC: Book 2's cover from my artist. Do you love it, or do you really REEEAAAALLY love it? I asked her to rotate the axe in Jeremy's hand about ninety degrees so it looks more like he's about to swing or throw it. Other than that, I think it looks great!

Litrpgs have been the big thing in online fiction for the past few years, but it can't stay that way forever. It'll probably never go away entirely, but it's eventually going to fade away from the spotlight and be replaced with something else. What do you think that "something else" is going to...

My tax refund came in yesterday, and I decided to splurge a little. I was planning to wait for the Steam Machine, but with the hardware shortage making Valve push the release date back, and the fact that they've been dropping hints that it won't be priced to compete with modern consoles, I...

When I wrote Miranda as one of the main characters in XNPC, I wanted her to be heavily flawed but still sympathetic. According to the comments I'm getting on Royal Road, I failed at that pretty hard. We're less than twenty chapters in, and people are already saying that she's completely...

A few days ago I stopped receiving emails whenever someone replied to a thread I was subscribed to. I checked my account details, and my email hasn't changed. I also don't have Scribble Hub marked as spam on my email account. Has anyone else stopped getting emails?

In the second XNPC book, they're going to spend a good chunk of the story at a fancy hotel, and I want to make the name of that hotel the title of the book. The hotel is owned by a sentient Hero character, and they gave it a name that reflects the state of the world the story takes place in, in...

The first of many, hopefully. Come do the "the badger's going to be rich soon" dance with me!

I've been writing XNPC almost exclusively for the past year or so, but I have other stories I want to write. I think it'd be nice to have two stories going at once so that when I start feeling burned out on one, I can switch over to the other for a while. But the advice I've seen regarding that...

XNPC just went live on Sunday morning. So far it only has 5 readers, 370 views, and no favorites on SH, and 5 followers, 800 views, and 1 favorite on RR. I posted the first eight chapters on day one to get it up to the 20,000 word mark so it'd be eligible for RR's Rising Stars list, and I've...

The Asha Effect is when a writer creates a character that they obviously expect the audience to see a certain way (usually as a hero or a villain) only for the exact opposite to happen. Maybe this has a name already, I don't know and I'm too lazy to look it up, so I'm just calling it the Asha...

Helloooooo, internet! After nearly a year of talking about it, my litrpg, XNPC, has finally gone live! Chapter One is up now, and more chapters will be released every hour up to Chapter Eight. Click the cover below to check it out. Hope to see you all there. This is going to be epic! Thirteen...

I just wrote this, and I'm not sure if it gets across the feeling of rising panic I'm shooting for. What do you guys think?

There are an infinite number of ways to write a villain, but I think most (if not all) of them can be summed up with these two pictures: The first kind: The second kind:

I've never been able to afford a vacation, but I really really want to go on a cruise. I'm saving up to hopefully go on a Norwegian cruise sometime later this year, probably on the Bliss or the Encore since they offer studio cabins that you won't get double charged for if you go alone. If I can...

I decided to try using Duolingo to learn Japanese today. I just finished using up my 25 free energy points, and I'm surprised by how intuitive the whole thing feels. No idea if I'm actually going to commit to this or not, but at least I know how to order rice, sushi, green tea, and water if I...

I'm releasing XNPC on February 1st, so get hyped. But I was looking around at some reviews for popular litrpgs, and one thing I saw more than once was "It's too long for the first book in the series." XNPC is currently 195,972 words long (roughly 783 pages) and I'm still adding to it. So, two...

It seems like over the past couple weeks Scribble Hub's been getting a lot of new users advertising stories they've written when they can barely speak English. Is it just a coincidence that so many of them are trying to join at the same time, or is this some kind of coordinated bot invasion? Or...
