    Do you ever feel bad losing a follower?

    On RR, I was shocked to see one follower on my second week. After a month, I had two ... for two days. Now I'm at 3. Here... I have no clue what those numbers are.

    Rant about Systems in stories!

    One of my System stories has an explanation, the other ... well, it IS just a trapping with a history but just a trapping (that one is on HoneyFeed; the other has not been posted anywhere yet. Keep debating whether to use it on my Patreon page or try to do a paid thing on Substack or what - but...

    Take the story and run with it

    After ticking off several Beyonders accidentally (whom he slaps around with some effort), he draws the simultaneous attention of God Emperor Doom and the True Form of Darkseid, who fight for a little while, then realize that, alone they can't stop him, just fight him to a stalemate, so they gang...

    Feedback on my fanfiction

    Wow, have only heard of one (re Zero) and not seen any so ... definitely not part of the target audience then!

    Do you think I'm making a good progress?

    You're doing better than all but one of my stories - most of which have been up a good deal longer.

    Feedback on my fanfiction

    The first chapter is sorely in need of a firm editor. Too many little issues to point out without copying and "redlining" half the document. Really could use a few more commas at a minimum. Also, as you say this is fanfiction - which character(s) should be known to the target audience?

    Slowpaced storyline

    I hope not. The real story only intrudes about every third chapter in "Between Worlds" - and does not REALLY get going until about chapter 40...

    Recommendations Female MC that ISNT Yuri/Lesbian

    Haven't posted my romance novel attempt anywhere or I could link that - her life would be much simpler if she were a lesbian. Strange Awakening kind of has that (though her mind is male). But only have 30 chapters in either one. Ah, and Between Worlds has an ensemble cast with two straight...

    Reusing powers?

    One of the characters in My Hero Academia has something like that.

    A Writer’s Heart Awaits Your Honest Words

    That and the uneven spacing between chapter numbers, colons, and chapter titles. Sometimes it's #: Word, sometimes it's # : Word, at least once it's # :Word. At least it's never #:Word...

    When did you notice the success of your novel?

    Ah, you know, I think the most successful story I ever wrote was for our college's literary magazine back in 1988. About four paragraphs long, took about 15 minutes to write, and one of my friends was in an English class that discussed it for about three times longer than it took me to write...

    Do you think that Hetalia has exclusive rights to the idea?

    One of the first collections of AI-generated art I've seen anywhere was of either states of the US or nations generated as people, and I have seen both. The idea has been out there for a while. Heck, given some of the stereotypes they had back then, back around 1980, Marvel sort of did this...

    Idea for litrpg

    That could work. I've been working on two kind of different LitRPG/System type stories. One uses "milestone levelling" - the system tells the character what will grant level-ups before they happen and then lists the awards for gaining levels after. The other is a simplified and modified...

    This is a work of fiction. Do you use disclaimers?

    If you go to actual publication that is standard (unless it's a work of parody or you intentionally used real people for some reason). If you are not selling it for profit, you should not need the disclaimer, but if you hope to make money from it, you probably should have one. Probably my...

    Straightforward litrpg plots?

    It is possible to make anything work in any length/style. The LitRPG genre tends to lend itself to longer arcs due to the need for clear but gradual character growth to "feel" like an RPG, but the right author could make shorter arcs work well, and the wrong one could make longer arcs flat out...

    Starting from scratch

    One story started off well (the second I posted), the rest are still struggling.
