    Do You Ever Have Trouble Choosing an Audience?

    I didn't give it a ton of thought because I really love catgirls and wanted to tell their story in the way I planned for so long. Then I wanted to add other beastkin/demihumans as well. Now I want a whole guild of them. *huff huff* But now the story has reached the point where it is out of my...

    Recent tv series/movie/game/web novel/novel you liked

    Game: "Sekiro Shadows Die Twice" (I'm a Dark Souls nut) Web Novel: I guess "Release That Witch" counts? A very interesting isekai story with a solid translation. I don't usually get into online reading much, but that one was recommended to me by a reader. Novel: "The Line Between" by Tosca Lee...

    Writing Grammarly or no grammarly?

    I don't use it. Maybe should. I spend most of my time using a thesaurus, checking balance of show and tell and looking at active and passive voice after. I end up just getting the grammar done along the way doing the other editing steps. I use Openoffice too and that has been enough so far. I do...

    Christmas in the time of COVID-19... (Poll)

    Take things into my own hands. Why? Because I am clearly the anime protagonist. I have plot armor.

    What Is Your Preferred Style?

    I use light mode for everything. Yes, that's right. I said it. The catgirls I know use it too.

    Are you 'Pantser' or a 'Plotter'?

    I'd say im about half and half. My story absolutely requires some specific outline since I have many interconnecting layers to my story and conspiracies. As far as some of the details and interactions go, I just kind of let it take over and read it out loud to see if it makes sense or if the...

    What kind of tropes/genres/plots/cliches do you usually look for when reading a brand new [web]novel?

    Yeah, that's tough. I'll try most in my genre if there is a different premise about it. Like with isekai, I kind of want more than just: "MC gets hit by truck, wakes up in new world and gets stronger." Give me the hints of a bigger conspiracy going on, something unique, a little bite of the...

    What do you think makes a horror game WORK?

    Yeah I would agree with the bulk of this. For me, I liked Metro 2033 because of the bits of relief in between they would give you at the stations. It was a safe haven, but at the same time you needed to prepare for the unknown with your currency. Do I buy something with my military-grade ammo...

    Corrections and anxiety.

    I freak out and fix it. Much of what everyone else said. Hopefully the readers understand. Hasn't happened here yet, but did on RR. To lower the chances of it happening I go through a step by step editing process and even reread the previous chapter for strict consistency. It takes time reading...

    The most overrated medieval / fantasy weapon

    How Many Words Do You Guys Average Per Chapter

    Around 3k words on average. Some short and some longer. Depends on if the content calls for it. I take a number of days to finish but don't know how much time spent per day. Sometimes you need to let your mind sit for a bit. I usually write that amount of words a few hours a day over two or...

    Whats your current excuse for procrastinating?

    A recurring procrastination habit is that my friend keeps sending catgirl pics in my dms on Discord, and I always have to stop writing to download them to my external. It's a problem.
