    Sarcastic description of what happened in your story today. (Mega Thread)

    My MC met a big, scary gryphon! :blob_shock: ...who promptly got herself stuck in a tree and needed to be rescued. Because that's totally a thing that big, scary monsters do.

    What is the most disappointing, not bad, ending to a series you have finished?

    A couple of years ago, I read a Chinese web novel called Galactic Dark Net. At the end, they've spent a bunch of time and effort gearing up for the final, last-ditch battle between humans and the evil insect aliens for the fate of the universe. And just as they're heading off to go fight...it...

    Reader Reception: SH vs RR! (rant warning: f-bombs abound)

    Yeah, I'm sure the more critical types and the trolls will find me eventually. I've only been posting since September. But it hasn't happened yet. And I do have way more readers over there (my average chapter views are currently 46 vs. 730). So.... ?‍♀️ I'm not saying that RR doesn't have...

    Reader Reception: SH vs RR! (rant warning: f-bombs abound)

    Just to offer a point of contrast: My story is actually doing a lot better on RR than it is here, in spite of not being litRPG or isekai. Not that people over here have been hating on it or anything. It just hasn't gotten much attention. It's true that RR readers are more likely to speak up...

    Leveraging Real Life into Stories

    I usually opt for putting my characters in situations that aren't exactly the same as mine but that evoke similar emotions. So it just kind of echoes my own experiences, rather than directly repeating them. I think that little bit of added distance makes it more comfortable to process how I feel...

    Title Recommendations, please!

    If the sun never rises, how do they determine how many hours are in a day? :blob_hmm_two: But anyways, some title suggestions: Dawn of the Anti-Sorcerer The Magic of a Magic-less Sunrise Midas Rising First Ray of Sunrise (a play on your MC's name) A New Day for Macador Ray (It's fun to say...

    What is that one BS item that your character has access to?

    A chicken plushie named Obby who has many mysterious powers. He flies. He follows you around. He runs away so you can chase him. He glows and changes color. He's waterproof and fireproof and highly resistant to dragon teeth. And he has a built-in tracking device so that you can find him when...

    Feeling discouraged for writing for 2 months now

    I know the feeling. I get frustrated pretty often by the fact that my writing isn't as good as it could be and the knowledge that there's not really anything I can do about it right now, since I'm already writing at the limit of my current ability. I have to remind myself that if I just keep...

    What are the most fun and relaxing ways to improve as an Author?

    You could try writing flash fiction. Tiny stories are a good way to practice and experiment with various writing techniques without a big investment of time and effort. And they're pretty fun.

    Need help with an idea

    Well, traditionally, angels are messengers, and their wings represent the power they've been given to perform their duties. Chaining them up negates their power and prevents them from delivering their message. Where you go from there depends on whether you want to interpret the symbol in a...

    Defeat the OP Hax

    I personally like stories about OP characters who lose all their powers and have to struggle and try to cope with not having them. Or go through a redemption arc in order to earn them back again. Though I guess you could say that's cheating because technically that's not an OP character, it's a...

    What do you use to write, and why?

    Mostly laptop, but I also added phone and paper. My usual process is to write a chapter in Obsidian (which I like because I've developed a weird sort of quick draft/expanding outline method that uses the Markdown features). Then I copy it over to Google Docs, fix the formatting a little, and do...

    I need ideas for calm family activities and Epic names

    Showing people working on a project together (cooking, crafts, home improvement, etc.) is a really good way to show both the unity in the group and the different personalities of individuals. Different people will have different ideas about how the project should be done, and they'll have to...
