    Dropped List question.

    I've actually had people leave comments on my profile. I never read their story, just added it to my insanely long (~200 novels) to read list. It makes no sense to thank a reader until they've either finished or made it a significant ways into what you wrote. Even then, I'd just do it if they...

    I have news and need some help! Please?

    Aquarium/zoo, definitely a good start. If neither of you have done the Willis tower, that could be interesting. If it was still winter I'd say to go ice skating at the bean, but it's spring (if she's into architecture, there's the Frank Lloyd Wright house, not massively interesting but still...

    Things you discovered you know a lot about while writing.

    Don't forget that there's 2 types of dragon in Chinese mythology. The dragon of the royal family is always portrayed as having 4 talons on each claw while all others (the ones for the people) have 3. There's reasons for this that I don't remember off the top of my head, but it's largely to deal...

    How do you write like you want to write?

    While I haven't read your story, I'm going to piggy-back on Sebas' comment about using rich language. I absolutely agree with limiting the use of certain terms when our vocabulary is typically much larger, and this is something I try to emphasize to my ESL students. However, and I believe that...

    Why so many gender bender novels

    In addition to this, if you write a story with a character who is gender fluid/non-binary, how does it get tagged? Gender bender works for this even without any fetishization of a specific form. My story is about a rock, something universally agreed upon as being genderless. Drawing from...

    Prologue: yea or nay?

    Like a lot of people have said (here and in a few other threads) it really depends on if the info in the prologue can be reasonably and logically worked in elsewhere or if it's just an info dump that *may* not be necessary. Why "may"? For my story, I needed to actually build the world in a...

    Is it Egotistical to Enjoy Reading Your Own Work and Outlines?

    I don't think it is at all. When going through the act of writing your story, if you don't enjoy it then its very unlikely that others will. Adding on to that, the first audience for any author is themself. For me, this boils down to the question of "if you don't enjoy what you're doing, why do...

    HOW DO YOU HIDE YOUR NOVEL?

    I just tie mine up and throw them in the closet until I remember to feed them. If you don't want to do that though, you could just try going in and switching it to a draft instead of a published chapter.

    What is with WebNovel new Terms?

    I'm not sure that WN is Chinese though. If it were, I should be able to access it without a vpn as I'm currently living in the country. With the amount of smut on here, I'm actually surprised that it ISN'T blocked by the censors.
