    no next page option and buttons arent showing

    For me, Windows ten or eleven, not sure, and Edge. Seems to happen about twice a week at most.

    no next page option and buttons arent showing

    That seems to happen from time to time. So far, refreshing the page has brought them back for me every time.

    can people give me feedback on my story

    Can they? Yes. Will they? Maybe (a link in the text part of your post is more effective as signatures do not show up on the mobile version of the site). Will you regret it if they do? Probably only if someone summons @Tempokai

    Worst response your books have ever gotten?

    First to address the title: The worst response is NO response. First time I encountered Skinwalkers was in a "Living Death" (Horror-based D&D in the 1890s game) module "Skinners" - they were nasty. Only time I ever killed off a PC and had the entire party (even the player) say: "That was...

    Hear me out

    Which direction? Send someone else into his life to try and get it right? Or maybe while he was in prison someone was isekaied into him and he became Der Fuhrer? Or send him somewhere else to see if he can do something better (or worse)?

    Making a living off writing stories

    AFAICT there are five types of successful writers: Those who never did anything else and just kept plugging along (most of them have a wealthy SO or family that supports them, and they often also work as journalists or do copywriting and side gigs - or wrote back in the day when there were...

    A feature to download your entire web novel

    Philphil2010 brought it back about 30 hours before I posted (and there was a comment inbetween).

    Am I the only one who thought of this idea?

    Phillip K. Dick wrote that one (aka Blade Runner). Asimov created the Three Laws of Robotics and (loosely) inspired the movie I, Robot.

    Making a living off writing stories

    Check out what is big on other sites. Different sites have different audiences. Also, get on SubStack (Home | Substack) if you aren't already - there is a lot of advice for professional and semi-pro writers there. Sure, sometimes most of it seems to be "Pay me and I'll tell you how to make...

    Terrorist mc

    To a certain degree, Marvel's Legion bears this distinction as well - his powers were triggered during a terrorist attack and he absorbed the terrorists (as well as the victims) into himself (and wound up a "host" for the Shadow King as well) - throughout his career, he has been kind of a...

    Am I the only one who thought of this idea?

    There are Circles of Hell that shudder at the mention of Cleveland and the lake... well, it catches fire every couple of years... And throwing in Detroit? That is just pure evil man! Not even JAM deserves THAT!

    Am I the only one who thought of this idea?

    The robot would need to gain some measure of sentience (i.e. "True" or "Near-true" AI) before this would be plausible... unless the reborn person is mechanical as well - which could be great for comedy but might not work well for a serious story. It COULD but would take a lot of effort to pull...

    Is World Anvil good and are there alternatives/ rivalling platforms?

    The quoted line in the post above says it is "revocable" (not sure if they spelled it wrong or I did; been a long time since I had to deal with contract stuff like that) - but not how to revoke it. BUT they are "sub licensable" - so you would have to contact anyone they sub-licensed to as well...

    Is World Anvil good and are there alternatives/ rivalling platforms?

    The fact that they list their "right to use" as "revokable" I think covers them from theft - you can object to their re-use of your material at any time. You may have to take it off of their site (it is kind of implied but not stated) but you can.

    I will tell you when and why I stopped reading your story.

    Cool - honestly had expected only one and not an attempt at all! That was one of those sentences I edited about six times and never got to feel right; this was the best, unfortunately. He is in a bit of shock and is kind of chill for most of it. I can get that - fortunately a lot of readers...

    Questions.

    Depends on how important the explanation is to understanding/enjoying the story. There can be no hard and fast rule here, as it may be different every time. The best way is usually through character dialogue, either between characters or in an internal monologue of the MC. If you're doing...

    A feature to download your entire web novel

    I could also see it for novels marked "Completed" if there is also an option for the author to make it downloadable but only if complete.

    Are giant sea turtles overrated?

    And Diskworlder's KNOW they fly through the universe on a disk held aloft by four elephants standing of the back of the giant turtle Atuan.
