    Is my Cover idea too NSFW or is it okay?

    Not gonna laugh at this because that's a very valid question. I guess it depends on how much emphasis is defined in detail on the man's exposure.

    [Feedback Request-First-timer] Does my opening hook work? (First 3 chapters)

    And to add onto @Eldoria offering a chapter as an example, @Macha did direct the fella to a beginner's guide, so... yeah. :blob_okay:

    Writing [Sharing] How does a character introduction impress readers?

    Scene 1 is my choice. Honestly, and I'm not doing this to be funny or anything, I read Scene 2's first sentence and my attention waned at the disassociated POV describing how Harry looked. I read Scene 1 perfectly fine and envisioned it, and already had no issues imaging a placeholder for...

    Are 'em dashes' a put off simply because AI uses it a lot?

    After thinking about that, my mind shut down. I don't know what to say about that at all. I guess I could say since it still exists, there are people paying for it; failed successfully? :sweat_smile:

    Are 'em dashes' a put off simply because AI uses it a lot?

    Yeah... AI debating if something sounds human when it can't even write as we do always makes me laugh. :blobrofl:

    Authors on Hiatus/Inactive Forever: Would You Ever Let Someone Else Finish Your Story?

    To be is to be perceived? You're an idealist. I'm a pragmatist.

    Authors on Hiatus/Inactive Forever: Would You Ever Let Someone Else Finish Your Story?

    My opinion does not judge whether what you do is correct or not; it's my opinion. It's no different from the people in the background of a live news feed making funny faces and gestures for attention. And, yes, I have a shit ton of novels I've written and never published. They're not burnt...

    Authors on Hiatus/Inactive Forever: Would You Ever Let Someone Else Finish Your Story?

    I believe I get the gist of what you're saying. I understood you before claiming that writing it depended on popularity. Thing is if you are basing your motivation on the audience's attention, then I don't agree. You're doing this for free, and it sounds like you are not doing this for the fun...

    Authors on Hiatus/Inactive Forever: Would You Ever Let Someone Else Finish Your Story?

    No. I don't agree. I believe it should be prioritized if you are interested in completing it, not others wanting it done; if they want it done, they can do it themselves.

    Are 'em dashes' a put off simply because AI uses it a lot?

    Yep! If we didn't, we'd be no different than AI generating countless copies like an industrial production line. :sweat_smile:

    Seeking Brutally Honest, No-Holds-Barred Feedback on My Book Cover

    The shield does. Everything else? Not unless I'm focused on it. Heritage and role? She a hunter? A soldier? Somebody who scrambled in a museum to assemble the best gear to fight off a big dino? Without initially having context, I just see a gal with a shield, armor that might as well be made...

    Are 'em dashes' a put off simply because AI uses it a lot?

    Yeah, I think endashes are mostly utilized for numbers, but I could be wrong; I've never used them for anything.

    Are 'em dashes' a put off simply because AI uses it a lot?

    I believe there are three different types of dashes? One is the regular "-" dash and then we have "—" emdash and finally the "⁠–⁠" endash. I'll use them if I think they're required, but before 2018, I never knew they existed, so... yeah. I guess I never needed them before? :sweat_smile:

    What’s your favorite color or breed of cat?

    Interesting, never knew a male calico cat would have to be a mutant to exist.

    Cooking a thought here: with half-baked attention spans being what they are recently, maybe quick tip videos could be fun to snack on? Not instead of full lessons, but just the sweet bite-sized goodies for us folks to go nom. :blob_nom:

    If you could rewrite your favorite story… would you?

    I know, but that is my issue: I've done them all already, so I can't say what I would do when I already did it. :sweat_smile:

    If you could rewrite your favorite story… would you?

    Eh, I already have fanfiction. So I guess I already do rewrite favorites? :blob_hide:

    Do you ever go back and re-write old chapters?

    Thankfully there are backups. :sweat_smile:
