I think for less than one full day, that's doing really well. Some people don't get that after 18 days, let alone 18 hours.

this person gets it. Take the pulp serial paperback "Casca: the eternal Mercenary" (Barry Sadler, author) First paperback, a novelty premise. But as stated by this poster, it was a *complete* story. It had editorial gatekeeping, minimum standards. True, the premise was open ended. Every...

I admit, that the text visible in your post... it does seem different. I hear it in my head reading it, as one of those soft melodious hypnotist voices.

As I look around at web-novels, the difference between writing WNs and trad paperbacks becomes glaring. While the mechanics of writing are much the same, much is different. If you look at a traditional paperback... a well paced 80k word story, was very normal. But there's not as much numbers...

I was once in college. Twice, actually. To get any degree you need a certain number of credits. Some are in your major. Some are in specified fields. Some are whatever you feel like. Some might be in your declared minor, if your degree requires that. Yeah, I had to take X credit hours in the...

WHEN do you mean. Historically, I used to write a first chapter thoroughly representative of the other chapters in the book. Nowadays though, I honestly think of the "first chapter" (in my head) as chapter 0. by that I mean... its done after the story is completed, and its contrived. polling...

not if that tag only has ten stories in it, LMAO (sorry, I couldn't resist) okay. "nightmares" came about like that for me. (the one the system selected) I mean what do i know about tags anyways. I dread going through *that* list, trust me. Must be a million entries. is this one me? no. how...

yeah. that's why anytime I talk about any ranking, always relate... page # (my screen always shows 25 per page) # of pages ranking # total number in the tag ranking I always lean towards a mathematical way of looking a things. for rankings? The only way I can compare, say a sparse tag and a...

*sigh* Strawberry season will get here eventually (wink)

Bitch ! (kidding)

I could "see" incest in a novel. But for me and my general style, it would be a noir revenge. You know, the older brother used to "R" the FeMC, incestuously. First dealing with it then seeking cold blooded revenge would be the conflict. I would only deal with it, in flashbacks. Maybe night...

When you first start out in one of the bigger genre tags... it seems daunting. "Mystery" tag for instance. 945 stories as of now. When you start out at #945... its a little disheartening. LOL. Coming up through that big list, I remember saying it. (I talk to my cat. sue me.) "I hope I can hit...

Translation: Eldoria is *so* going to read this thing, lol. I mean, I'd have believed you, little one... but you were just w-a-y too dramatic about exclaiming "no!", made me think. Now I just need something that rhymes... "Eldoria's witch sister, just can't resist her" (and I guess when the...

yeah, no. I'm talking sexualized, eroticised, anything-ized. LMAO... but I hear you. god save us from the puritans. my theory? dirty seems to be a market, so that's that. I try multiple genres.

how is that?

Same here. Its just a text editor to me. I will say, I'm a linux only user, so... my "notepad" equivalent is a slightly more robust thing called "xed". also, if I want to formet something visually appealing/big... libre office is more than the equal of MS office and *free* but in the end, its...

Does AO3 have any monetization, particularly for S-M-U-T? Asking for a friend, lol. i have some stuff I *know* better than to even try to run it past SH censors, lol.

I think its that way with anything. I once watched someone learn on their own to do DRYWALL. First room? It was o-k-a-y... but there were places they didn't know what to do. I guess it came out like a cheap college apartment. By the time they got to the LAST room though, they had learned by...

send a reply back, in another language plot twist: make the language UP, so they can;t translate it... and spend time trying. but for bait? start out with broken english, to make them think it will translate. "want discuss. Happy so if discuss" then trail off in your made up BS language. with...

For style points... answer yourself in a scary cartoon voice. That's what I always do. Its entertaining for those around you that you enjoy talking to, and it tends to keep at bay those that you'd rather not deal with anyways. (I always went for a sort of "Dr. Claw" voice. Inspector Gadget?) "I...
