If I don't mind always winning and it's still fun, I keep playing. If I want to make it more challenging, I'll put myself down pieces at the start of the game, if he's game for that. If, one way or another, chess gets boring or annoying, I simply stop playing with him temporarily or...

If you haven't written any romance at all before, you might wanna try your hand at a purely romance-focused short story or two, so you get a better feeling for what makes it tick and what you want the romance dynamic to feel like before you blend the two.

Patient: So... I don't know how to say this. Therapist: Go on? Patient: I think I have a hoarding problem. Therapist: Oh, is this a new thing? Patient: No, it's been going on since before I started seeing you. It's... just way too embarrassing to talk about, but now I feel like I kind of have...

That's a cool formula if you like outlines! And outlines are a valid way of writing. I don't really like doing outlines myself-- for me that takes some of the fun out of writing, it feels less like exploring a setting and idea. And motivation to write is a huge factor for me, since beating...

Posted it on the premise that it wouldn't flag permanently, and the chapter showed up in Recent Chapters, so I guess I didn't get flagged at all! Thanks!

I mean, I don't mind if it ignores this chapter in terms of adding it to the front page and whatever? But if it flags either/both stories as spam and never shows chapters permanently, that would be Bad.

Sometimes I write even though I am increasingly certain that the path I am taking is the wrong way forwards-- I then look at that piece of writing, see what it doesn't do that I wanted the chapter to do, and then save it in another file in case I want to look at it later, and think about how to...

So I, fool that I sometimes am, posted a chapter of one of my stories to, y'know, the wrong story. I already deleted it from that story-- if I post it without alterations to the correct story, will I get flagged for spam or anything?

I'm not aware of any supposed "AI" that is anywhere approaching sentience, or even meant to. Instead, the focus is on things that can be exploited for money, like reproducing art. I suppose it's vaguely possible the massive amounts of computing power and the complex interactions humanity makes...

Ooh, that sounds super fun. Mortal (lifelong romance) + Immortal ("brief" romance) is such a good setup in general.

"Dancing Zephr", please! If I'm going to trust a god to give me poorly defined powers, I'm absolutely going to take their suggestion.

Ooh! I didn't know those were names for it, I just thought AI was a misnomer. I learned something today! Tarot gives you vague story kernels that can be interpreted in multiple ways, which I think is better than 'try to match the pattern of continuing the story' for leading your story in...

I don't think my stories are what you're looking for, as given from the titles it sounds like you're looking for a powerful and dominant protagonist? However, I do wanna say that you might get better answers by asking about the dynamics/tropes/kinks/whatever you're interested in (or...

If you end up mostly using AI to write, it's against the rules to post it on this site. So if those certain parts are the majority of it, probably cheating to post it here, since cheating is not following the rules, but using it a little is not against the rules, and therefore not cheating. IMO...

Agreed in general, but two SH-interface-specific things that may influence how one wants to react to this sort of comment: If I recall correctly, liking doesn't tell you who liked it, so it doesn't have the same impact as a heart emoji. Also, SH doesn't tell people if their comments get deleted.

Once upon a time, there existed(or perhaps did not exist) an entity beyond comprehension. It lay quietly beneath something that resembled a city the size of a coin that was the size of a moon, that is, the moon of a very small planet, relatively speaking. However, it was not a city, had never...

So, to me it sounds like the core of this book is about the relationship between the MC and the Bully, and I don't think you can resolve that in a satisfying way with the themes you want as is, because when it comes down to it, it's essentially a vicarious revenge story. Not that there's...

Personally, I'd rather overwarn than underwarn, especially for a disclaimer chapter at the start-- disclaimers are so easy to skip if you don't wanna read them, but are a heads up there might be some intense stuff. ...and also Scribblehub just simply doesn't have tags for some stuff, so very...

Ah, then nothing that can be done about that 1-star then, sorry to presume you hadn't tried disclaimers. I think Empyrea is right about this in general. I will note that you can delete comments from your chapters-- maybe you already knew this, but I didn't know this until someone else told me...

Mmm... trudging through cold molasses at winter time doesn't sound like a pleasant time, so understandable. If it's writing yourself into a corner as far as a specific end goes, you can take a moment to consider if there's another ending that would fit with the story so far and you'd also enjoy...
