    What would you do if your story became insanely popular?

    But how could a story I didn't publish anywhere get popular? I'm not Tenacious D tributing the Best Song in the World... So either I'm insane, or some hacker got me, liked my story so much they published it under my name, and then did nothing else... This isn't a rom-com story... (Whoever writes...

    How to make a story really depressing in reality, but still be up-lifting and somewhat comedic?

    You could do it the "slice-of-life" way by just not focusing on those gruesome things. Just write as if gang wars or crime stuff were normal around there. Or you acknowledge the stuff happening, but focus on the good things in life happening. Then you could go what I call the "psychological...

    What would you do if your story became insanely popular?

    I'd laugh because then I would finally have proof I'm insane, since I'm still eternally writing my stuff before even thinking about publishing it here. If I'm drunk enough to release my meager writing here AND it would then explode, I'd milk it for all it's worth. :ROFLMAO:

    If you could rewrite your favorite story… would you?

    My favorites? Nope. Alright, maybe let Faust II end where it should have ended instead of that annoying "redemption comedy" at the end. But stories I hate and wish never had as much influence as they actually had? Bye, Twilight, 50 Shades, and modern "Romantasy", you will not be missed as...

    General Toe Stubbing Annual Survey

    Three or four times. I believe it was three times it hurt, but I didn't count the other times. My head's in more danger, and I wear those plushy bear head slippers most of the time, so my toes are safe.

    Crazies Webnovel title you have seen or you can think of

    Pretty sure I saw both halves at least once somewhere. I just slapped two Japanese titles together to make my point. Not sure it was exactly worded like that since it was a Japanese title, but the general gist was that the title was dissing the author for being a talentless hack running after...

    Crazies Webnovel title you have seen or you can think of

    "I got kicked out of the party because my unique skill of ' Automatic Invincibility Buff while Instant-Death Debuffing enemies' was told to be trash, but it was actually the strongest and now I collect a harem because the author has no talent and those are the currently popular tropes, but the...

    Pizza Island Pizza Party Thread

    I'm gonna defile this thread with my crazy pizzabominations! Nugget pizza: Put chicken nuggets on a margarita and sprinkle a bit of the sauce of your choice over the nuggets. Pizza Murrican dessert: Just take whatever sugary delight you can find and throw on the pizza dough with chocolate or...

    PSA: Stop Being a Midwit

    Why shove down throats when you can rip them? And what's wrong with Midwits? Ever met a Lowit? Or a Nowit? Or scrub forbid, a Nowitall? Those are even worse than just those mid Midwits.

    Which Way Should I Handle My Necromancy?

    B just screams "Mana exploits incoming next update". If you want a RR-esque roflstomp powertrip, give your MC that kind of limitation. If you want a bit more engagement or "personalization" of your minions, go the first way.

    Writing Entertaining Slice of Life

    I personally love the fluff and lull between stuff happening as well as people just bouncing around during their interactions like "ruthless" friend groups where banter is free-for-all.

    Writing What is your favorite protagonists hair color?

    Green is rare and fun, especially the ligther tones. Also pretty rare, it's always dark green or straight up blue instead of light green. Gray and white are simply superior to silver and metallic. Don't get me started on pink, tho. That cursed colour is for pushovers or psychos. Or both.

    Writing Xianxia Authors, how to you write about techniques

    Same as other cultivation stuff, push as many synonyms of "powerful", "divine/heavenly", or "demonic" into the technique name as possible, add a colour and/or animal and you're done. Bonus points for adding adjectives that actually describe the technique or overinflated numbers. "Demonic Orange...

    Why must it be a sword, especially in eastern cultivation, namely the jian sword?

    Swords were the symbol of wealth and power in most cultures: An overly intricately forged piece of sharp metal, as much for show as for use. It screamed "I got prestige" more than most other things. But yeah, swords are overrated, unless you only use them to UBW or shoot them as arrows. In...

    Are Strong MCs Really Boring… or Are We Just Reading Them Wrong?

    The problem with most authors and OP MCs is that they don't realize "conflict" doesn't mean "combat". Relationships, mysteries, even mundane stuff like living your daily life can be a "conflict". Your character is physically too powerful? Confront their minds. They're too good at magic? Create...
