    Writing How to effectively make a story dark(How to set up an effective tone)

    I posted some time ago about the difference between a "Dark story" and an "Edgy story." In the end I gave what I believe is the most defining factor of differentiating those two stories. Some people agreed, some didn't and gave their reasonings while coming up with their own ideas of what makes...

    Writing Dark stories vs. Edgy stories

    I've seen this discussion popping up time and time again across many different sites with many different layers to the discussion. I've seen people say that there are no such thing as edgy stories, only stories that show the real world. I've seen people say that dark and edgy is one and the...

    I just returned to writing my story after a three week break and I want some advice.

    So after finishing the first act of my story, My Succubus Roommate, I took myself a two week break. Although it actually turned to a three week break due to some issues. I'm curious if I can keep my upload schedule and my viewers would come back naturally, or if I have to earn them back by...

    Act 2 of 'My Succubus Roommate' is finally here!

    After 66 chapters consisting of Act 1, or book 1 if you're lame, ended, I got busy and wrote a lot more. And now, after around three weeks have passed, Act 2 chapter 1 is finally out. Or book 2, if you're lame. The story of an author living with a succubus which is much darker than you think has...

    Just posted 5 new chapters for my new webnovel.

    Call of The Dragons, a much more serious webnovel with absolutely no smut but there's a lot of people beating the shit out of each other. Can Oculus prove there is more than one dragon left in the world? Find out by reading. Also thanks to @Hans.Trondheim for the cover. Call of The Dragons

    Unreal Engine 5 gives me nightmares

    Imagine in ten years where graphics like this becomes the standard, and VR picks this up. VR horror games are literally going to make me shit my pants.

    That one good moment in an otherwise mediocre show/book.

    What show or book have y'all read or watched where everything was just kind of standard, or even bad, but there was one really good moment that just came out of nowhere that made you keep reading or watching just to see if it returns to that quality, even though you know it never will. For me...

    Anyway to find certain parts for a cover?

    Like is there a site that I can use to find things to use within my cover. Particularly I need to things, a picture of a humanish dragon arm, but anime, and a rhombus shaped stone, also anime. I've searched on google, but all that comes up is either Highschool DxD or a dude with a tattoo. So are...

    Add Shounen and Shoujo to the genre list

    I have a good few reasons for this. First, there's Seinen and Josei, which is shounen and shoujo but for a more grown audience, but no shounen and shoujo which are their counterpart. Also for purely aesthetical reasons, it will add two new genres when creating a new series so instead of 2 rows...

    Writing Telling too much information.

    TLDR: Hide your big twists and information for later. Don't throw all your cards on the table for all to see on the very first chapter. Now that we have the TLDR out of the way, lets get to business. I've seen this so often with new time authors and I am guilty of this as well from when I...

    Can someone explain how this will defend anything?

    I don't get it. Say a robber breaks into your house, they're just going to break out if they're pinned like that.

    Salty comments on stories

    Just recently, there's this dude that read my story up to the latest chapter, and he says that he really enjoyed my story. That got my pride up a bit, but I still have yet to get any comments telling me how awful I am. I sure as hell got that immediately on RR with my story getting a 2-star...

    Released a new chapter an got 30k views.

    Jesus christ I've only been writing it for 2 months but my story already has 39 chapters and 30k views. I didn't think I'd actually get that much so quickly. I have to admit, it's kind of mind boggling that 30k people looked at my story. Not exactly read it cause probably less than half of that...

    Would like some feedback please.

    I've already asked about the first chapters of my story, but I would like to know what people think later on than just the first three or four chapters. I want to know if I'm getting better with my writing as I continue the story. I'm not just going to ask this in this thread, but I'm also going...

    Added 2 new chapters to my succubus story.

    I just added in 2 chapters to my story, My Succubus Roommate, which is a story that, well its kind of hard to describe. Imagine a pie that spells "happiness" on the crust. It's a delicious smelling pie that when eaten, tastes wonderful. Then, after a single slice of the pie is gone, the chef...

    How does someone self promote without coming off as desperate?

    Like, I mean, I'm just kind of curious. I want to promote my own work because three times already, I've gotten to like 900 or so views in a day, but it just barely reached a thousand. I've gotten close and blue balled three separate times. Oops. I dropped something. A new chapter will come out...

    Would like some advice on my first few chapters.

    Basically my first few chapters are a bait and switch. I want it to seem like a pure comedy harem series and then reveal slowly over time about the darkness in the story. I have 30 chapters out now and I've already delved deep into the darkness of my story, but I want some opinions on the start...
