"...wait, what, seriously? Now I'm a guy again?" I wagged my tail experimentally-- at least that had remained. I glared down at the puppet, and shook my head disapprovingly. "Um, hey, that's pretty mean to use Transmute like that without asking... well, at least the sparkly costume is kinda...

I'd say do what makes sense to you! Whatever you write, it's going to restrict your readership in some way -- you shouldn't jump through a lot of hoops and cripple your writing style just to do things that might please some people. You have a solid logic for why you're doing things the way you...

I mean, if you wanna write the sort of stuff you'd be comfortable reading, sure? Some people like what I write, and some people like way darker stuff than what I write, so I don't really worry about it too much beyond doing my best to do proper content warnings. There's little shame in being...

For sure, I know your reasons here are different than mine-- just like, going through editing an entire novel just so you can release two different editions doesn't seem worth it to me at all, regardless? If cursewords and other stuff you consider objectionable from religious grounds are rare...

Oh, I totally get this! I can sometimes bounce off darker stuff, depending on my mood-- but writing stuff, I can get pretty hecking dark. The thing is, as the writer? It's transparently clear that everything is completely under my control. I can change content or skip something tough or...

On-topic: If your parent's words resonate with you, I'd more look at it when making your next novel and think about if it's worth rather than rewriting a current one for G or PG-13. Most people won't buy the censored version, and if kids get really interested in the book, they'll probably go...

Soooo... slightly worse earth but I don't have any resources or relationships to rely on? Yeah, I'm pretty fucked-- time to see if I can find myself a nice Owner, I guess. If only this had happened during my longest story, in that one people from Earth get free super speed/strength.

I ran a finger along her neck and leaned in close. "Usually you drink my blood... but today I'm going to drink your blood like fine wine." She flushed and stared at me with wide eyes, arms still over her head from where I had chained her. "But... but that's not how it works," she whined softly...

Yesterday I wrote a horribly exposition-y chapter and ended up scrapping it, so I think I understand the feeling, more or less. Random thoughts: You can use emotion as an excuse to spell something out-- someone ranting about the restrictions Fictionia has on purple clothing, when they fucking...

While thinking "living as a different gender would be interesting thing to read about" and "I am willing to go to a great deal of effort (and potentially great risk) to live the rest of my life as another gender" are thoughts that are probably somewhat positively correlated, I'm fairly certain...

While I really like this idea, I feel like it would be better handled as a new feature request.

Pfft, I just recommended one of my novels with only 2 public chapters, you're allow to recommend one to me with 3.

So basically what I like is: 1. Intense emotions 2. Weird political and social dynamics that bring out interesting bits of mindset and philosophy 3. Power disparity in general 4. Protagonists that are on the weaker side, but are to some degree kind and/or optimistic These works all include...

Thanks for the insight, guess I was wrong about how universal this was!

Very welcome!

I mean... staff or owner can just tell the influencer to leave and not come back if they're making a nuisance of themselves? I can't think of countries where customers can't just get told to get lost by a business? Unless this non-fantasy world isn't much like IRL anyways. Influencer really...

As far as I can tell, it's a sales/hype job of sorts. As an influencer/youtuber, you're making friends with the viewers and convincing them you're cool/funny/attractive/whatever, your personality is actually one of your biggest assets, the content you can produce is your second one...

If you wanna physically publish it, you probably will need to make it be chunkable into different books if it's sufficiently long, just for printability-- IIRC Amazon KDP limits it to a little over 500 pages, for example. That said-- I can enjoy climaxing twice in a short story, if it's...

If you randomly connect that deeply with main characters, I must request that you please write about more mentally health main characters.
