I try not to, except in dialogue, but sometimes it just slips in.

Generally depends on how important I believe it will be overall (and sometimes I'm proven wrong later). If I expect something to be important it gets more detail, be it a person, a place, a thing or an event. If I don't think it will be important, then it gets very little detail (at least at...

Took you about half as long as it did for my most successful story. My other two together still haven't hit that.

Strange Awakening - page two of search, right after a YouTube Music song of the same title and a bunch of links to a movie called "The Strange Awakening" (or "The Female Fiends" in the US). Diamond in the Rough - too many references, including three novel series and a manga... Between Worlds -...

Several nations issued Letters of Marque allowing privateering against other nations. The English and the Spanish had the biggest rivalry in the Caribbean and issued the most but there were Letters of Marque from other nations as well. True pirates were the ones who either ignored the "Oh...

Well, my family has a coat of arms issued by the English crown for privateering - that is "Acts of Piracy Against the Spanish Main" - so pirates were, in some case, at least not the BAD guys... or at leas the "Better Bad Guys" (and that kind of the theme of the two Errol Flynn pirate movies I've...

Think it might be too visual a thing to do well in novels. I know there were a lot of stories set on ships in the past (Horatio Hornblower, Mutiny on the Bounty, Moby Dick, Billy Budd), but there the pirates were always the bad guys, or just a "plot device" (Treasure Island). It wasn't until...

A lot of people say that - I look for ones that have between 10 and 20 chapters myself - that way it won't be too much of a time commitment to catch up...

My most popular story, Strange Awakening, may violate some of your rules but my other two should not (though Between Worlds does have a lot of romance subplots going on, and a lot of slice of life stuff, those are not the focal points). Feel free to check out any one of mine (or, if you're a...

On another site, I have a series that has 31 views (and my only "Like") on the prologue chapter, then 17 views on the first, 8, 10, 15(!), 9, 12(believe this was the same day I posted a cover so maybe that had something to do with it?), 12, 9 and - for the chapter uploaded Saturday, 7. Not sure...

The page translation lists the author as "Heaven and Moon" ... but the site is confusing because half the time it does not offer autotranslation and the other half it wants you to log in to do anything. Can't find an author profile or a feedback area. Hmm - you sure this site isn't a...

Now THIS is the correct place and way to seek advice...

Because a blanket request for reviews or feedback belongs more appropriately in the Feedback forum not the advice and tips one - that would be where you either offer advice or ask for advice on something SPECIFIC instead of just an entire story. "Does this scene work?" "How can I make this...

Who put the "bomp" in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp? Who put the "ram" in the rama lama ding dong? Who put the "bop" in the bop shoo bop shoo bop? Who put the "dip" in the dip da dip da dip?

Oi! We're on the Highway to Hell...

Here I Am Again, and We'll have Fun, Fun, Fun While My Guitar Gently Weeps On Top of Old Smokey. Baby, it's you: The End.

The trick to catching a bus is using a large enough net... and it has to be reinforced or those suckers just plow through them...
