    Mary Sue, objective cardinal signs.

    I don't know how to spot a Mary Sue to be honest but I do know that if a character, be they female or male, is too much of a winner in life without actually working for it then it is a character not worth my time -ahem, unless there's a twist in the end-. That being said, how about reading what...

    Tags, ain't they spoiler-ish?

    Oh, I haven't thought of that! I am always hesitant of what kind of tags I'll put since I'm afraid I'll disappoint the readers that way by not executing said tags or 'hyping' it up. I do know that some of those prospectives tags are gonna happen because they're one of the core elements of...

    Tags, ain't they spoiler-ish?

    A thread born from a random thought. I was thinking of adding a few more tags to increase exposure but then I realized some good tags in my mind would spoil some twists in my work. Should I or should I not? What about you? Do you or do you not?

    Writing Prompt A fanfic character wakes up in a canonverse and had a startling discovery. Turns out, the fanfic author misunderstood the canon characters

    Yeah. Thought that too. -sigh- It really is in need of a series BUT I got 1 chapter though. Hmm..

    Help with synopsis?

    When I make a synopsis it is usually a tweaked idea of my “eureka!” moment since I haven’t really started on making it yet plus I don’t have a written ending to support my synopsis. The reason why I’m saying this is because this is how published novels work but since we, webnovel writers, are...

    Does my story make sense?

    So, I took a peek of your work @aliyanamu and I second @TwilightForest ’s message about really working on your synopsis because for me, it is confusing and frankly, I would never read a novel with that kind of synopsis. I know everyone here is not perfect but I at least hope that the works are...

    Does my story make sense?

    I quite like to use unbeknownst too :blob_aww::blob_aww::blob_aww:. I could use “unknown” but it’s not pretty to read for me :blob_uwu::blob_uwu::blob_uwu:

    Writing Prompt A fanfic character wakes up in a canonverse and had a startling discovery. Turns out, the fanfic author misunderstood the canon characters

    Welp, what it says on the tin. This had been an idea of mine since forevah but hadn’t had the time to execute one so, why don’t you try? Terms: Fanfic - do I really have to—fine, it’s a work of fiction made by a fan usually in tribute of a favorite author’s work. Fanfic authors can create...

    Do you RP?

    Oh, I know what’s an RP but I never joined one since I’m busy with school and rarely got the time to go online. I’m free these days though but if ever I’m joining one, I’ll probably observe first since I’m shy. :blob_hide::blob_hide::blob_hide:

    10 Worst Romance Tropes

    I love tropes and I’m a firm believer that there’s no such thing as bad tropes, only bad execution. That being said, some tropes can be executed in such a formulaic manner that overtime it leads to a cliche so I suppose this would make them “worst”. Speaking of tropes, have you guys ever...

    Adult tag seems common here.

    Hmm, 'adult' can be interpreted differently by different authors but it is usually connected to sexual situations while 'mature' is all about the action and stuff but I could be mistaken. Why don't you try looking for the content warning, "sexual content", to be sure? As an author, there's a...

    Webnovel Covers I Made

    The joke covers are funny and interesting! By the way, the BL joke cover is so good it reminds me why I don't read 'em. I hate them for being handsome af :cry::cry: I almost forgot; you've got some mad skills! Keep it up!

    Feeling intimidated by the bombastic language people use in their stories.

    Yep, this happens to me too especially when I'm reading a book while writing my own but these days my style had turned 'loose' and by that, I meant less uptight since my reading list has been of the c-novel variety.

    Prologue Length

    That depends on you, really. Mine's like 76 words only but for me, that's only short because I've set what I want the prologue to be and the kind of mood I want the readers to feel for my next chapters (or maybe, in the whole novel itself). It's up to you what kind of prologue you want. Is it a...

    How do you plan out your story?

    When an idea comes up and I love it, I usually come up with how it ends. Then, come up with turning points or arcs. Basically, visualizing a whole and then cut it into pieces. Then, I’ll focus on a particular piece, how that piece starts and how it’ll end. The rest, I’ll just let the actual...
