    How long should the story and chapters be?

    My vote is, if it's over 11k words, time to split or fork it. Under 1k words, not great unless it's only rare or supposed to be short.

    Is this real or not?

    Real or not, be very wary about whether this "offer" immediately drains you of any money. Don't care if they call it an "investment" or something else. That's the number one biggest red flag for all modern authorship scams. If they aren't asking you for money but only a % of commission on...

    New to writing... Please help (Regarding publishing and Marketing)

    Technically no, there is no forced payment or obligation to pay an author. The only way we authors can get paid here (excluding patreon specials), is asking for readers to donate to our linked donation settings, if they enjoy the story. And don't forget to NOT ask for this inside the content...

    How was your first experience with publishing here?

    I like the SH experience. Was sticking to Amazon exclusively for a bit, but, go figure it never paid. Then I had revelation years later. At any moment, I could get hit by truck or mauled by a Russian Centaur. And then, with no marketing, and books pay-walled at the beginning, they may never be...

    Resolved Account Ban Appeal- would like clarification

    Don't feel too down about it. There are some intricate methods as scum scammer evolve to make things seem more official. As a society we've gone from clicking on the "download free RAM" ads to A.I. assisted social engineering. But yeah, that does seem important to address. I didn't realize we...

    Thease Clankers are getting out of hand....

    I wish they would leave some of the lines in, unfilled. "I really liked the way you portrayed [INSERT CHARACTER ONE] in [CHAPTER NUMBER]" 😂

    [Solved] ~ Analyze Author Signature Length before editing.

    Strange, I thought it was 420 px... But yeah, anyway this does help in the long run. Looks like I got it down to 266.4 pixels, but there is a bit of extra space on the bottom of the signature that I can't seem to account for. The very end of the BB code has nothing after the table, yet...

    [Solved] ~ Analyze Author Signature Length before editing.

    Not sure if it belongs here. Could be a feature, but could also be solvable just by knowing how to do it. How do we analyze the exact pixel length of our author signatures? It's not a big issue for me since I'm planning to reorganize mine into a table later (condensing it further). But I never...

    One star on chapter two.... at least give me a chance mannnnn (ratings rant)

    It is more common on RR. I think on RR people can give a one-star without writing any kind of comment or review, which I don't agree with. Not sure if it is possible here; I think I remember there being an extra step to be that petty but not sure.

    Something that is written very elegantly.

    Actually, yours doesn't seem all that bad. I peeked at it, enough to add to reading list and try it soon. This looks like a really good example; again, just skimming to see it, but I'm adding it. Thanks. Share the links with me if you don't mind, once they are re-posted. Cocky, but worth a...

    Something that is written very elegantly.

    I'm in need of something to read at night. Keep finding things that have very passive diction (which is a strong turn off for me). I don't care much about the genre, long as it is written well, like, I want to struggle understanding the vocabulary. Examples of what I'm NOT looking for:

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

    For me it would be lack of financial backing to write as much and as often as I'd want to. It's tough trying to make money off them books. At this point I kind of stopped trying to. Figure I'd have more luck asking those who truly enjoyed what I make to donate, set the pay wall all the way to...

    Release notes, and new release!

    I've kept the hype for this on the down-low, on account that the chapter release schedule is proceeding quite slowly. Even though there will be one new chapter per week (Mondays), (with occasional exceptions of more than one per week), I am still proud to present the launch of a new Web-Novel...

    Are isekai fans too impatient?

    Sounds more like they wish to avoid any "prologues" or chapters that initially info dump. Your own methods should work fine, just make sure those first chapters are very engaging. Doesn't matter if it's about background or how MC feels, hook more important.
