    What are some general tips on how to write good original fiction?

    Scribblehub's trending algorithm is genuine nonsense and doesn't reflect the preferences of the site at all. It's the worst trending algo I've ever seen. Literally ignore it Go sort by readers or monthly/weekly views. Or an advanced search for new stories that grew the most in the past 3...

    How many of you take writing seriously? (Poll)

    Lol, fair enough. Maybe I should've had the title the same as the poll question, but that wouldn't have made for a very good thread title. I think the "marketing perspective" is a little too deeply ingrained at this point, as an indie author. Have to be both marketer and writer, and all that

    How many of you take writing seriously? (Poll)

    Fair enough man. I struggled to come up with a clear binary criterion for what separates a serious writer from a non-serious one. One without ambiguity that has a clear yes or no. Having a poll question "Are you serious about writing?" leaves way too much up to interpretation. It'd be so...

    How many of you take writing seriously? (Poll)

    I completely, wholeheartedly agree Well, either improvement is your primary goal or it isn't. I chose the poll question carefully, so that there was a binary to consider. There is no "both". It's yes or no Ehhhhh, I really agreed with you at the start but I disagreed the more your post went...

    How many of you take writing seriously? (Poll)

    Poll included. Splitting the question into a binary choice was tricky—people have varied opinions on what “taking writing seriously” means. Hopefully it gets the idea across. Just wondering what the demographics of the Author General of ScribbleHub is like. How many of you consider yourself...

    Apology and Clarification for Previous Thread ?

    i feel obligated to defend an author caught in the crossfire. why would I make an account to speak my mind on, an account I know would be under scrutiny, then follow my main account? utter nonsense like everything else you've been saying please take note, though, how I followed that author when...

    Apology and Clarification for Previous Thread ?

    funny enough, I am writing. are you? tabbing in to reply to your nonsense takes like a minute or two also, everyone knows you swapped from actually debating the topic at hand to spamming random nonsense as a defense mechanism. "look, look, i was trying from the START to bait him, ignore the...

    this is utter nonsense, once again the point is certain troglodytes can't recognize obvious chatbot output. not that I'm a genius for "cracking the code". or that I think the world is ending. is all you know how to do create strawmen and flail your arms around? what a childish way to discuss...

    Apology and Clarification for Previous Thread ?

    yes, it's because i was tired of having to treat everyone with kiddie gloves. it's very cathartic to say what I think. also, notice how you never respond to the actual topic at hand? it's because you have nothing worth saying he's pretending like he's the one baiting me but the whole reason I...

    Apology and Clarification for Previous Thread ?

    why do you keep bringing this up? It's not like I'm going around every thread and spamming this—YOU are. take your weird complex somewhere else. if you want to debate a topic, debate it. I won't ever go "i have more views than you so I'm right". super weird energy it is. are you serious? he's...

    It's genuinely comical you read lines like And don't instantly know it's chatgpt My "World" isn't being warped in the slightest. I'm just growing more and more disappointed in the regulars of this forum.

    Apology and Clarification for Previous Thread ?

    the cover doesn't matter, 80% of popular web novel covers are AI. it's basically the default these days. the AI-written promotion post was cringe but not morally offensive. look man, I write fiction for a full time living. I've been analyzing amateur works and giving feedback on them since...

    Apology and Clarification for Previous Thread ?

    the problem isn't that the cover was ai or that the promotion post was ai the problem is that the prose itself clearly came straight out of a chatbot in the absolute best case you wrote a rough outline and told the bot to spit out prose. i wouldn't be surprised if you didn't even do that and...

    The Reason You Don't Have Readers: No, It Isn't How Well You Write

    please see: >Why would it matter? Or does me having more readers than you (by a lot, btw) make my word the law? And then you'll grovel at my feet? So disingenuous. Either make a point or gtfo

    The Reason You Don't Have Readers: No, It Isn't How Well You Write

    "Intellectually bankrupt" means you're writing slop (no-brain garbage repetitive tropey stuff), and you're writing naruto fanfic and a story called "The Human Saint is Bored, so I was Summoned to Another World". So the irony is pretty funny? If you mean "sell-out" or "morally bankrupt": I...

    The Reason You Don't Have Readers: No, It Isn't How Well You Write

    I'm aware. But it's the best metric we have. It's easy to say "this isn't perfect for X reason" but if you do that you should offer a better alternative. Weekly views is the best list for representing overall popularity. Views per recently released chapter would be nice—but we don't have that...

    The Reason You Don't Have Readers: No, It Isn't How Well You Write

    Also, I went and looked, you offer like 100+ chapters of multiple novels ahead. You have 12,000 readers across your stories (yes, I realize only like 3k peak per though). Assuming overlap, you probably have like 4500 active readers or more? There aren't really any books five times as popular as...
