    Shouting the names of abilities.

    When supernatural elements involved it can at least be excused as some minor form of incantation where either it is required to use the technique like a Harry Potter spell or it makes the technique more efficient or powerful like in Bleach where the kido techniques can be cast chant-less, just...

    Writing Characterization problem I've come across and need help solving

    Another possibility is possibly making them owe a large debt to someone in the party or the entire party that is great enough to where they begrudgingly accept the situation though it is clear they don't like it. Then make them fight the party on it every so often eventually coming to an head...

    Has anyone received any propositions or deals from people interested in your stories before?

    I don't know about their situation, but I can say from my own experience 1/3rd of my patreons are free members because my public chapters for all my stories are there as well just like they are on SH/WN/FF plus I'm sure there are people that downgrade to a free member with the idea that they...

    Best ways to tag stories to maximize traffic?

    Harem is similar to GL/GB/BL. It has it's avid fans, but also people who refuse to read almost anything if it has a harem in it. I would say it's not quite as strong an effect as GL/GB/BL though so it doesn't quite get you the audience as fast as those do, but the amount of people that refuse to...

    The Importance of REPRESENTATION in Media

    I thought you were just a sweet succulent sentient creature, but now I know the truth. You are a monster. What kind of monster has their meat well done. I refuse to be consumed at anything beyond medium at most.

    The Importance of REPRESENTATION in Media

    Agreed, how else could we enjoy their succulent meat. Most of all of their young when it's most tender. Imagine starving a world of the delights that are dragons.

    The Importance of REPRESENTATION in Media

    Half of what I write are fanfics and set in Japan so they are technically full of Asians. Never thought of it as representation because it isn't about their ethnicity. Write a good story and good characters. Any other considerations should be a distant third or beyond. Just write what you like...

    Published chapter different from draft?

    Honestly, no clue. I tend to write on desktop and when I do write from mobile I tend to do so directly into the website no copy pasting involved.

    Published chapter different from draft?

    Try paste and match style (Ctrl + Shift + V) when pasting to see if that fixes the problem.

    Best ways to tag stories to maximize traffic?

    Yeah they tend to get large growth up front, but at the sacrifice of having a harder cap. Unlike many other tags though they are very appealing to the audience they appeal to they are a complete turn-off for anyone that isn't into it. It's easier to get someone that prefers fantasy to try out a...

    Published chapter different from draft?

    I'm not exactly sure wht you are talking about, but I will say SH defaults to paragraph breaks rather than line breaks when you press return/enter.(As do most novel websites) If you want a line break rather than a paragraph break hold shift + enter/return when using a PC/Mac. Don't know how you...

    Writing You should write with the motivation to make an interesting story.

    I kind of disagree. Sure I wouldn't publish it in the sense of putting it on Amazon or sending it to an actual publisher or putting it in some kind of paid platform. However by actually releasing it you can still get some kind of feedback. You might also find that others do like it or allow you...

    Use a music/movie/serie title reference

    As for whether they could win a lawsuit against you. Probably not. Even trademarks are usually limited to a field so generally if it's trademarked as a song unless what you wrote is a song they won't be able to get you so using a song title as a reference in your chapter title or in the story...

    What is the biggest mistake a new writer can make?

    I think there's a bit of a balance. If you never make yourself write then you'll probably never finish it. However you also need to learn to recognise when your brain is just done and anything you write is just going to be crap. As for things I think the mistake most beginner authors make is...

    Writing Can Be Hard

    I will second this as I do something similar. Not exactly the same, but close enough. I will generally write 200-300 words on each story I'm writing, then take a break where I maybe read a chapter of someone else's novel/manga/comic or an episode of a TV show/anime etc. Generally something that...

    Has anyone received any propositions or deals from people interested in your stories before?

    I've received them, but ignored them. Don't think my work is good enough for someone to actually reach out to me to sign me for anything that isn't meant to screw me over. It's passable, but passable doesn't get people reaching out to you. There are a lot of shitty contracts/publishers. Unless...
