Generally have only one character speak per paragraph. If a different character starts speaking that's a reason to start a new paragraph. If the speaking character takes significant actions between lines even if no one else speaks start a new paragraph. If the sentence spoken is getting too long...

I block GL, GB, and BL

Same, as an author there that doesn't happen. Those people lied and just don't want to admit that they sold out and are forcing their readers to pay out of the nose for their story because they want to get paid. I'm not a huge fan of WN or at least their company behind it/management, and they...

Most people coming to SH are looking for McDonald's. Most of them aren't going to accept you serving them molecular gastronomy because they didn't come to be challenged too much. Doesn't mean you can't, but you are far less likely to find success which for most people whether they admit it or...

There is a reason it's a popular trope with teen and young adult women/girls. Twilight isn't the only big franchise that did it and was widely popular.

Posting an entire novel at once here is a good way to ensure it never catches on even if it's good. It will be buried because it will never end up on trending nor on the updated list on the front page. For success here bite size chapters posted frequently is what you want to do. Try to get to...

Probably something like The Eminence in the Shadows. An over the top parody of someone trying to be edgy or maybe keeps accidentally being edgy. Either way not something serious.

I have a combination of long term plans, some things I want to hit on the way there and then a more detailed idea of where the next few chapters will be going.

183 cm last I measured, but haven't actually measure in over a decade so who knows what it is now.

It's possible to a degree because as the author you can plan your story in advance and have knowledge of what will be happening, what other characters have done that the character in question hasn't witnessed etc. However there is a big danger that it can turn into feeling like they are simply...

Nah pineapple on pizza is my second favourite option. The combination of something sweet like pineapple then adding something salty like bacon is great.

Not entirely surprising and if the numbers are correct then 2 new paying readers isn't exactly breaking the bank considering that it probably between $10 and $50(many patreon subscribers don't hang around for more than a month or two) return in sales/subscriptions and you still need to take...

Depends on the character. Also the idea that only young people swear is hilarious since I've seen some of the most colourful cursing coming from old people.

I like going with Alfredo sauce, chicken, bacon, olives, and mushrooms.

I don't do anything and I suspect most things have limited effectiveness. Maybe getting good artwork of your novel and posting it on twitter with a link back to the novel would be something that might generate some appeal. The best venues would probably be ones already related to readers of the...

I think I have reached enlightenment at last. Thank you.

I post on SH, WN and FF.net(and patreon I guess though that feels different). However SH is my favourite one. I started out at WN, but not really a fan of the company, the way they do business, and their censorship. So I started looking for alternatives and ended up choosing SH. FF.net is a...

And this is why no one reads your shit. You are incapable of reading comprehension and have no willingness to learn. Rather than using big words because they make you feel good about yourself try actually understanding what I said.

No because any actual skilled writer knows that they are writing a story not a text book and that though internal consistency is important being 100% logical is not actually commendable and can actually harm a fictional story. Even biopics which are based on true events bend things from 100%...

You have no place to criticise people for being stupid. You pop in every few days to drop a turd of "knowledge" and when no one rightfully takes you seriously because most of it is at best nonsense you get offended.
