    Story Tags. They really required? I don't believe this question warrants a post because of how stupid it is, but if I don't really care about exposure, should I bother with tags?

    Why do male harems dominate the genre while yuri harems are so rare?

    Both. Women in emotionally rich and even romantic-messy ways are great and I can refer to the Kiyoshi novels by F.C. Yee as one I enjoyed. But what I have encountered were stories marketed as yuri, but most relationships are one-sided or played for comedy only. Then there are the "harems" where...

    Reader Preferences About Villains

    1. Villains you can and will root for; especially when they're about to "explain" karmic consequences to someone universally hated. :blob_popcorn: 2. "Stupid Evil" types. The kind of nonsense you'd get from maxing out dark side choices in KOTOR just because it’s the cruelest option...

    Male protagonists or female protagonists: which one do you prefer?

    I wish I could give you a straight answer to that, but I'm drawn to archetypes; those who are witty, autonomous, and driven by self-interest. That can be male or female... or non-human.

    new genre or tags for non a.i assisted books

    Why not advocate for transparency instead? We're really struggling to give credit where it’s due when it comes to editors; a supporting wife being a muse, a curveball suggestion from a child, or even tools we utilized to improve our writing. Whether it's human editors or AI tools, it all plays a...

    Dark fantasy or isekai power fantasy (LiRPG): which do you prefer?

    I do enjoy both, but I tend to prefer when the protagonist’s power system deviates from the world’s established game-like structure. Instead of just being another flavor of magic or skills, it feels fundamentally... different. You know, something the world itself has no framework for. You get...

    RIP OZZY OSBOURNE

    Rock radio stations are honoring Ozzy today with back-to-back albums from Black Sabbath and his solo work. Hell of a tribute.

    Talking about the "Poop Cruise" and now monsters reminded me of the shit demon from Dogma.:blob_shock:

    How was your first story received?

    My fanfiction received comments, but they disappear whenever the user no longer exists. No idea if those were real people or bots.

    Blocking “reverse world” stories

    Yeah, it’s kind of like once people spot the shark in the water, they're quick to jump out. There’s definitely potential for something cool with reverse worlds or those themes, but it can be too easy to fall into clichés or lazy tropes. It’d be awesome to see a story that takes the 'shark'...

    Blocking “reverse world” stories

    From not even knowing what "reverse-world" was to suddenly getting handed a list of stats; go figure, bad publicity really is better than none.
