    I got a 404 error on my fanfic. I indicated that it was my work and that I was translating it from my native language. I'd been publishing this fanfic

    I wrote exactly what I wrote here. All my works are original, there were no rules that I broke. (Though I have to keep reiterating here that I'd really take any response, even if they just made up the rule.) If I had to guess what the issue is, it's just a lack of professionalism, and I don't...

    What do you use to write with?

    Excuse me, what on Earth is this? This seems incredibly over-complex for words on a page. Feel free to treat this as a rhetorical question, because I'm curious enough to just Google it now.

    I got a 404 error on my fanfic. I indicated that it was my work and that I was translating it from my native language. I'd been publishing this fanfic

    It's been 45-60 days since I emailed support and I never got a response. I'm not even sure what to say. In that time, I've literally sold the books with zero marketing. I was going to basically write an essay here, but it seems kind of unnecessary. Someone that isn't experiencing the same...

    Adding recs to a list. Thanks guys.

    What's the hardest part of being a writer to you, and what common writer woes don't make sense to you?

    Even if that technology existed, I'm not sure it would help as much as you'd think 😅 Some people use speech-to-text, but if I did that, the amount of editing required would drive me crazy. I could only imagine every unfiltered thought making it to paper. Sometimes I'm editing and I have to...

    What's the hardest part of being a writer to you, and what common writer woes don't make sense to you?

    Free time definitely seems like the biggest issue for most writers. Whenever I read about authors that launched an entire story while working a 9 to 5, it blows my mind. I mean, most people have 16 hours of waking time, and a 9 to 5 easily removes 10-12 hours from that pool, and that's before...

    What's the hardest part of being a writer to you, and what common writer woes don't make sense to you?

    I think the hardest part of writing is the editing. Not only is it likely you'll have to do it multiple times, but when you already know the twists and turns of your own story, it can be easy to go on autopilot when what you really need is greater focus than when you wrote it. As far as woes...

    I'm looking for a story with satire.

    The story doesn't have to explicitly be satire, or even be 50% of the work. I'm look for a story where satire is at least reoccurring.

    What are the top 5 features on Scribblehub?

    Big disagree, but I appreciate how you asserted dominance, and I don't want to be a hater, so my vote is for Corty.

    My story's first comic

    Did you make this by hand? The art style is amazing.

    How Weak or Strong is my Hook/description?

    I take it you're saying that the MC wanting to go back makes it different? I won't argue since I'm not an Isekai fan, but that doesn't seem like something substantially different. A third is also a huge amount. That's a 50/50 choice between them wanting to go back vs not. I just think...

    Favorite scary movie?

    Oh man. I'd say Get Out, Cabin In The Woods, IT, and I literally just watched Sinners. Horror movies are so cliche on average that I don't have a lot of favorites.

    Why Video Game Generally Suck Now.

    Games started appealing to the common denominator, and people complain, but still buy them, and then microtransactions and games-as-a-service came along and people's habits didn't change. I love videogames, but at this point, they rank pretty low to any adult that can afford to do other things...

    What makes you stick with a story after the first 3–5 chapters?

    If I made it to Chapter 3, then it would just be a matter of likeable characters and an engaging plot.

    Do you listen to music when writing?

    Sometimes, but not purposely. Sometimes I listen to music, sometimes I have a nature documentary on in the background. If I'm writing something with a specific tone, I usually choose silence.

    SouthernMaiden's two sentence horror story thread!

    You don't know me, Batman. Maybe I would give the trigger to an ordinary civilian.

    How Weak or Strong is my Hook/description?

    Disclaiming that I wouldn't read any Isekai, so just categorize my opinion properly. (In case you want to appeal to non-Isekai fans or something.) This reads like every Isekai I've ever heard of, while also being meta and referential, and I don't necessarily mean that in a good way, no offense...

    What's the ScribbleHub Meta in 2026?

    I posted in like 10 places to get a good data spread. I'll probably only be comfortable with the data when I have about 10 works, but I narrowed down to 7 free platforms, Patreon, and 2 paid platforms. Literotica is in the mix, and it works great. I hate the UI and their general publication...

    What's the ScribbleHub Meta in 2026?

    Are people really posting hourly? Oh, I am writing for fun. That's why it isn't really a big deal to me. I just noticed that it's gaining less traction on SH. I try a new blurb about once a month. To be fair, most of the blurbs I see are HEAVY information dumps, practically begging someone to...

    What's the ScribbleHub Meta in 2026?

    I've only been publishing online for 67 days, but I've tracked my stats across platforms and SH is kind of... abysmal. For my works that weren't 404'd without explanation, traction seems incredibly low. Is there a certain genre that does better here? I don't do R4R or anything, since I want...
