Yeah I'm not a huge fan of that trope either. Mildly overused, but it can still be fun! It's connected to the "I'm being cheeky and talking-back to this God, hahahah I'm so cool. B)" trope, which always makes me think "Bruh, why isn't the MC getting smited into dust and ashes?" (This is related...

I think you meant, "I'm not talking about..." To answer the question, in my story it's a tool made by humanity. Kind of like a growing AI self-spreading virus, but magical at the core. It spreads across the universe through mana and performs / regulates calculations. The idea is to develop...

Me: *posts 5 chapters in one day* SH: Ok. Posting schedule = 3 Chapters/Week Me: Huh? Me: *posts another one* SH: Ok. Posting schedule = 2 Chapters/Week, now. Me: HUH?!?! :blob_dizzy:

Penguins are the best animal. And Ararara came from Arashi and Arashifufu and just Ara, I used all of those over the years. Ararara sounds the funniest I guess!

I think it works better in smaller doses. Similar things on other platforms (reddit, twitter). Mostly provide actual content / answers / discussions, then hit 'em with the surprise (and genuinely unwilling) shilling only every now and then. But yeah, maybe I'm just shy

Secondary question, now that people are already here, is there a way to turn off my signature when I post? I don't really want to spam my fiction-link every time I post, but only on a rare few occasions! Or, should I make it smaller?

Yeah, the author already had a crazy huge audience from the previous works that popped off (like Worm). Basically I brought it up because the 3 female MCs (witches) are girls that have really different personalities. And across the whole novel, way more girls are also prominent characters...

Wildbow - Pale It's on a wordpress site but the story is earning thousands of $$$ on Patreon, so maybe it's worth checking out. It's the first thing I could think of.

Ah, I see. So this place is a bit more chill, reader-wise. :blob_sir:

Yo. New writer here, it just occured to me to double-check: Is there any kind of beef between ScribbleHub and Royalroad? Will other authors (or worse, the readers) hate me if and when they find out? I know some webfiction sites hate other webfiction sites. :blob_popcorn:

I used AI to generate mine, and the free site "Canvas" to try and put some text onto it. Also Paint.Net to fill in the (arguably crappy) background. The website I used is free, it's a version of Stable Diffusion, and it has lots of different models to pick from. I just played around with it...

Sounds good to me! The only thing I'd change is to shorten the sentences. Turn at least two or three of the commas (especially the dreaded semicolon) into normal periods. Sentences that are too long are harder to read and understand.~ I like how your description packs a punch and isn't overly long!

I prefer "gray" but I use "grey", since I think it's more common!

The [Advisor] flew out the window.

No need to do that unless there's many people in the room (even then it can be avoided), or you're trying to slightly inflate your wordcount. Readers are pretty smart, they can figure most stuff out by themselves.

It's not bad. I've known people who have written their "bad" story (or more than one "bad" story) for millions of words over the years. But it served as excellent practice, they didn't give up, they stayed determined and pushed through. Writing and posting, day in, day out. And after all those...

No, but it makes for a strange power dynamic. You know things about them that they've said to you in the future, but don't know that they've said them to you. And if the timeskip is long enough (more than 5 or 10 years?) It gets to the point where the age gap makes things tricky and weird, too...
