    Writing Does/Has anyone done this?: Character strength relative to the gear they're using

    I recall seeing two that pulled variations of this (one is Bleach with one of the early minor antagonists) - Don't recall the title, but the character has a sword that keeps taking more and more damage during the fight but the character uses his (I think, may have been a her) "inner strength" to...

    Hello I am newbie

    If you can include a link either by copying and pasting the "header" here, or in your signature line that can make it easier to find. Is it this one: Return of the Villain’s wife | Scribble Hub

    Writing Why does this trope exist?

    I have heard that in most prisons, anyone who commits crimes against a minor, is discovered to have done so, and is not placed in Solitary is not going to last more than a few days. Not completely true, at least in China in the "classical era" - couples were expected to ... "bond" during the...

    What genre is your favorite to read? (Read 1st post first)

    Wish I hadn't "lost" the Robert E. Howard Omnibus I had when one of my Kindle's got smashed in a door. I thought sports stories sounded dumb but read one of his and was curious to read more (but lost the Kindle and somehow lost all the books stored on it due to some weird email snafu).

    How to care for a hypothetical raven

    We wound up keeping a squirrel for a few months - one of the dogs found her in the yard and made sure we saw her. We thought her legs were broke but found out she had just fallen out of her nest before she was ready to crawl. Called a vet and they said "Just don't touch the squirrel directly...

    What genre is your favorite to read? (Read 1st post first)

    I've been trying to do that with one of my characters (though he kind of ends up being a superhero in a series of film noirs), Jack Diamond. Given the readership numbers, either this is just not the right site for it, I'm not doing it very well, or both...

    Writing Story on two different platform

    From what I understand, some sites have exclusivity rules, but this site is not one. I believe one of the reasons why a lot of people dislike Webnovel is that it DOES. There are a few stories posted to, say, this site, Royal Road and Space Battles (I am probably going to do the same once I...

    Who’s your 3 most popular characters?

    Of the ones I created and posted here, Kelly Morgan Pierce seems to be the only one who really is popular. I really like her father too, and suspect he will get a few fans; and I am kind of sorry about what happens with him. Also, I really like Jack Diamond but he does not seem to have any...

    Free Story Feedback [READ REQUIREMENTS]

    Well, the first chapter of Between Worlds is pending approval. The other one may take a while... Edit: Between Worlds | Scribble Hub was approved. Only one chapter up yet. But at least this one has a cover... :D

    What Genres do you filter out?

    Mechanically filter out? None. If a title draws enough interest for me to read the synopsis, and the synopsis sounds intriguing enough, I'll consider anything, though not a huge fan of "pure" homosexual romance (GL or BL ... heck, not usually a fan of romance in general), smut or sports and...

    Free Story Feedback [READ REQUIREMENTS]

    Hmm... what about one that kind of skirts the fantasy romance genre (though the romance side doesn't really kick in until chapter two), though it is not a focus of the story, just a part of it? Ah heck, even have a contemporary romance sitting around on my Google Drive but not sure it's ready...

    Writing Why does this trope exist?

    I have met exactly one woman who had rape fantasies (as opposed to nightmares), and I believe she was a 30-something but it's been a few years. Have also met three guys at wildly different ages who admitted to fantasies of raping women. And about five women who admit to having been raped and...

    PocketFM (or equivalents)

    I usually get 2-3K a day when I have time to write (so about 4 days a week) but have a large back "catalog"

    PocketFM (or equivalents)

    Wow. Thanks. May try it anyway (it looks like there are three different "arms" of the company, the main one in India, so maybe only some of the other three or four - IIRC China, Indonesia and Japan - are despicable), but at least this is a good warning. And, if not, I just opened a patreon so...

    What genre is your favorite to read? (Read 1st post first)

    Until, almost by accident, I read one of Robert E. Howard's (yeah, the guy who created Conan) sports stories, I thought there would be no way to make sports interesting, but he could.

    What genre is your favorite to read? (Read 1st post first)

    Comedy - because I know how hard it is to write (I cannot do it consistently and intentionally, ever) and can really appreciate well done humor. Horror - Not exactly sure, especially after hearing some writers discuss why they liked reading and/or writing it. One thing is that with horror, you...

    This Too Much For Synopsis?

    Sometimes you WANT to spring that surprise on them (like not wanting to reveal a character is a superhero until the character needs to be one in the story). But sometimes it will work against you. It is a tightrope.

    Genderbender + futanari? Whose idiot idea was this?

    Sort of.... it would be the second volume in a set of related novellas (the first volume being her dead father's "greatest hits"); one novella is finished, along with her intro and the first two chapters of the second...
