    Do you still remember the first commet you received from a reader?

    No, but pretty sure it was "I think this chapter belongs to a different story" (it did)...

    Gabrielle's Creative Corner Cafe!

    Getting listed is not that difficult - getting to the point where they offer a contract and you make more than occasional "coins" ... that is the hard part... I couldn't get Strange Awakening approved. And couldn't use the word "slave" in a story (for a character who was an escaped slave...

    What would you call this process?

    Sounds like a rather brutal form of evolution

    I published 7 chapters this week, but only 2 are showing up on my story page. What should I do?

    As far as I can tell, Chapters Per Week is an AVERAGE. And seems to be calculated mid-week.

    [Serious Debate™] What is the optimal number of girls in a xianxia harem?

    42. That is always the answer. (More seriously - how many characters can you "juggle" writing well? That -1 for the MC is the optimal number).

    Hard to say - it's doing better than two of mine were at that point. Two haven't reached that point. One was doing much better as of about CH 12.

    Zombie physics question...?

    Well now you have multiple types of zombies out there - the Haitian/Voodoo zombie (basically a drugged out person with no reasoning ability and a superhuman endurance and resistance to pain, which also allows them to exert extraordinary strength), the classic animated corpse zombie (slow...

    One sentence ghost stories.

    New story up - 11ch so far - Keen for some feedback please!

    If the narrator already knows Paul, then describing the action first, and only remembering to tack on his appearance after the fact, makes sense. If this is their first meeting, then absolutely the clothing (especially if it is unusual in-universe) would be the first thing mentioned.

    Should I publish before the whole story is finished?

    If I waited until I was finished, I wouldn't have anything published anywhere... instead I have two "live" books on PocketFM (both with "versions" here as well), two finished with "live" sequels either in progress or set to start soon, and one that is a collection of linked short stories with...

    What will you do when you find a new idea after making a complete outline?

    This is why I never do a complete outline.

    Is this cover too spicy?

    That's tame compared to some of the ones here - though (to my eyes) about the same as one I had rejected so, who knows?

    Am I doing stats right?

    Ah, but only someone who's been following your progress with developing this would know that off the top of their head (Or you, of course) - better to put: Class: Cat Burglar, Level # (modifiers) Species (or Type or Heritage or Legacy ... well, Race seems to be out of vogue these days, sadly, so...

    What is the name of these art styles?

    The first looks like a digital attempt to copy the style of Tenniel (the guy who did the illustrations for the Illustrated Alice in Wonderland and Alices Adventures Through the Looking Glass and What She Found There) - which is a distinct form of caricature, I believe.. The second is just...

    Review swap!, Guarenteed reviews or feedback!

    I thought 20 was the "first magic number" (though my series that did well took off around 12). I have one story with over sixty chapters WRITTEN but only 40-some posted here; another that just broke into the 40s that only has 11 here (should go to 12 tomorrow or Tuesday), one with 46 but only 42...

    Writing How do you sell character relationships?

    I think the question is (at least how I tried to answer it after the obligatory snide comment) "How do you make a relationship believable?"

    Reader Notifications?

    If you write GB stuff (at least that worked for me) then yes, fairly quickly. Otherwise it's a slow slog (two stories have less than 10 and one has 11).
