    Editing What rule-based grammar tool do you use?

    Memories of having to read "Strunck and White: The Elements of Style" for a project back in '88-'89 (and brushing up on it twice since)

    Is it ok to use AI for references?

    Might be a weird suggestion but I would consider looking into coloring books and maybe comic books and magazines for inspiration (especially if you plan to start by tracing before evolving into freehand art).

    Or a crossbowwoman (? Crossbowman?)...

    Resolved Broken chapter unable to be deleted

    Never heard of this before - but now I have to go check one of my stories as something similar may have happened there last week!

    What is Your Favorite Novel of All Time?

    Ah, the John Dee translation then?

    What is Your Favorite Novel of All Time?

    The one "translated" by "Simon" (think I still have my copy somewhere) or the Latin version of the Arabic "Al Azif"?

    In my not so humble opinion: get feedback, no harems

    Well, thank you! Cool - blurbs are WEIRD. Either they come out and whap you on the head with what to write, or they sit there squirming like a nest of snakes and you just grab a few you hope aren't poisonous (as in "driving potential readers away..." poisonous)... I thought this was one of my...

    I Blinked and now I’m Famous

    Nice - best I had was 13 for about an hour, maybe two. Don't think I've cracked 200 since then.

    [Vent] For Authors who just need a moment to let it all out

    This is one of the reasons why I have so many stories going at once (and why some pro authors, like Piers Anthony and Isaac Asimov did as well). Sometimes one story just falters but there are others waiting to pick up the slack.

    Change the 'new chapter comment' notification to include which chapter was commented on

    It took me about a week to realize they are a direct link on the "Chapter Comment" blue field.. Would be nice if it were clearer which one, but that is usually enough.

    I am grateful, but who the heck is giving out these 5-stars ratings???

    Yeah - corporate America seemed to adopt the view that outside reviews that are less-than-perfect indicate a failure (but internal reviews that ARE perfect represent someone being lazy and non-critical)... And it seems to have leaked out to the rest of society.

    Webnovel Feedback Roasts For the Fearless

    Sounds like time to lock this thread and set up a Roasts II thread...

    What's the weirdest thing you've ever memorized?

    The first thing I ever memorized is probably still the weirdest - "The Jabberwocky" Can still recite the bloody thing, though sometimes I get verses out of order, over 50 years later (and I could barely read at the time; dad just guided me through it).

    [Vent] For Authors who just need a moment to let it all out

    There are not enough hours in the day... went through one chapter to edit before upload and wound up re-reading and editing five, losing an entire hour tonight... ugh.

    In my not so humble opinion: get feedback, no harems

    Too lazy to fill out the forms but, though one comes close on the smut side, none of mine quite go there (at least not the ones I've posted here), and they seem to meet the other criteria...

    Potential Book Cover + Question on Trilogies

    Looks a lot like (probably not quite actionably like but similar) to one of the books TSR put out in the 80s or 90s. Blanking on the title but recall seeing one very similar (except without the ring) back then. You can upload an image as a "chapter" if you want to keep all three books in one...

    Can anyone explain to me why my work is not appearing the latest updates section when I upload a new chapter?

    I stopped checking on mine but don't remember it being up for more than an hour ever, except for that three hours one title spent on "Trending" - and don't recall seeing it up any time I posted a new chapter. Just chocked it up to the sheer number of new chapters being posted pushing mine out...

    Something you 100% believe in author do but dont admit

    You made it one book farther than I did, then. Or that was in one of the two spin-off novels featuring the other bird-mutants (which I also ignored)

    Does anyone else here suffer from "Multi-plot overload?

    Heh. I have two active stories here, and one on Royal Road. Plus one "finished" on HoneyFeed, one finished here, and... Six partially written and not shared anywhere (1. A "romance novel" - 30 chapters in; 2) a Western Isekai around ten chapters; 3) a time travel thingie at chapter four; 4) a...
