    How to do a time skip good?

    For shorter shifts, a montage works pretty well. Basically a narrative summary of getting from there to here. We could give it a look. No need for a swap. We don't have anything in particular that's comparable that isn't super spoilery too. Though, if you don't mind the spoiler and you want...

    On a scale from fairytale to grimdark

    OK, so. Fairytales were the original grimdark, and your description of them is the Disneyfied version. But, that's beside the point. Just a neat thing to know. And, well. For either of our worlds, The Sunspot Chronicles or girldragongizzard, we don't relate to this scale very well. We don't...

    Is it true that reviews help a novel to reach Trending? What else helps?

    We don't know how trending works, but ranking within a given tag works purely on total views. Good reviews might get you more views for a given book. Beyond that, someone else will have to asnwer.

    What advantages do novels have over other mediums?

    On top of what Charles E Brown says, it's pretty easy for a single person to write a novel. It helps to have an editor and a publisher, but you don't need them. Despite what we see in webcomics and daily comic strips in the newspaper, comic books and graphic novels usually take a whole team of...

    Someone claims your thigh.

    "You're gonna lick it, right?" "What?" "To claim it you have lick it. Make it yours. Otherwise someone else might get it first." "Right now?" "Well, we are driving, so maybe when we get home. But you better be fast. The dog likes to give kisses, too. He got the other thigh yesterday."

    Cast of girldragongizzard

    We pushed through some nasty fatigue and clumsiness to get a fun doodle of the draconic cast of girldragongizzard. We'd love to flesh these out and render them in better detail and colors, but that's not happening today. Bonus, what we used to be able to do before our disabilities ramped up:

    Your best joke?

    Our favorite joke (no idea what's the best). Character 1: "They're a Discordian." Character 2: "What's a Discordian?" Character 1: "The opposite of an accordion."

    Writing Prompt You are transmigrated into the novel you just gave a bad review

    Our opening dialogue: "You got us sucked into this novel? Really?" "I'm sorry." "We don't even like this kink. None of us do. Why did you even click on the link?" "Because I think I'm into it." "The Human Domestication Guide? Really? We're not even human!" "I don't know how that's...

    Hidden Meanings

    As a cluster of autistic authors with a degree in fine art, writing several long series of books, we use metaphor, similes, analogies, and juxtaposition of themes, situations, and events to deliberately create layers and layers of meaning. That meaning isn't hidden, it's there specifically to be...

    Fresh Poetry Thread

    Thank you! We figured out we were autistic at 40 and decided to stop masking after our divorce from a marriage of 9 years. This was one of the first poems we wrote for poetry night during our brief return to it. But the girl we had a crush on back when we were 16 wasn't someone we ever ended up...

    [Need help] Unconsciousness vs subconsciousness vs consciousness vs reflex

    That's sort of the default state before system discovery. It's possible for someone with DID to learn of all or most of their system members on their own, or often with therapy, and for them to communicate with each other freely. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to get to that state. Sometimes...

    [Need help] Unconsciousness vs subconsciousness vs consciousness vs reflex

    K5Rakitan is right. In a lot of psychological texts, "unconscious mind" and "subconscious mind" are used interchangeably. We believe "unconscious mind" is the older term for it. And another general relationship is that it is strongly believed, with significant evidence to back it up, that the...

    [daily] taking out the trash

    Received a custom printed flag in the mail, retrieved it from the mailbox, and opened the package. Squeed a little bit, maybe. Very happy with it. It's going on our scooter.

    What's your main character's biggest flaw?

    Ooh! Maybe, someday, it can be a tag, even! We got the term from listening to people talk about Wildbow (or Wildbow talk about his own writing). Particularly Twig, where the lead character's super power is anticipating other people's actions, manipulating them, and knowing how to do things.
