I just finished this. I don't think it's as horrifying as people make it out to be, I was never more than mildly creeped out by a couple of scenes and I'm very sensitive to horror, so I don't think it requires that much caution. It's a fantastic game. Very nicely crafted story, great mood, does...

The MC of The Cursed Heart has some moderate childhood trauma and later develops PTSD due to the story's events. He copes with both through vehement denial and reacting to stressful situations through incredibly reckless decisions and self-sacrifice. He insists he isn't suicidal and would never...

A list of... all the flaws? Flaws are usually contextual. In the vast majority of cases, whether something is a strength or a flaw depends on the situation. Any character trait can be a flaw, so there are rather a lot.

You want this excerpt powerful? This is a sentence-by-sentence storycraft problem, not a content problem. You can control 'oomph' by controlling how your sentences are structured. Shorter sentences with less extraneous detail are more powerful. (Not sentence fragments; a few of those can help...

There's a difference between friendly/respectful swearing and aggressive swearing. Subcommunities differ because of things like immigration, but the broader Australian culture is a reverse formality culture. Things like bowing, saluting (outside of the military), or uses of titles of respect...

Usually whenever I'm supposed to be asleep. It's 2:42am right now and I'm online because I just finished writing a chapter.

My 100% foolproof method is to fall head over heels in love with someone who's not interested in your gender, continue to enjoy your deep and abiding friendship while never saying anything, and wait for her to eventually move back to India and get married so you can occasionally get a confusing...

In Australia we show respect by swearing at each other.

Drawing is so hard. You have to make the shapes yourself and they have to be pretty shapes. Writing is easy. You tap the keys and the computer draws the letters for you.

*puts on evolutionary biology hat* It's a little complicated, but in general, people are often attracted to the same characteristics that show up in their family. The correllation isn't 100%, because attraction is influenced by a whole shitton of factors, but the genetic influences of...

Where's the option for people who absolutely hate it but don't want it banned? Incest disgusts the fuck out of me, I would immediately drop any story with it, but just because something grosses me out personally doesn't mean that other people shouldn't be able to read/write it. We'd have a...

Take pride in old ground. Not specifictoScribblehub, but I write a magical school fantasy specifically because Harry Potter overplayed the entire genre and I wanted to annoy people. I have a vampire story lined up next.

I start writing when I have a main character(s), a theme/concept, and one major twist. This usually means that when I start I know either the climax or the ending (this is my known twist), but rarely both. I know where I'm going, but I have to plot a course there chapter-by-chapter. By the time...

Nobody uses the audio in my discord, we just use text. Same as being on a forum or having groups in facebook chat, you know the drill. Generally people join my discord because they use discord a lot already and appreciate getting notifications for the story updates (if they read from my website...

I tend to think of us as stereotypical webcomic authors except we can't draw, so we do this instead.

I'm waiting for winter to end so I can plant the fun vegetables. right nowI've just got brassicas and carrots because everything delicious is killed by the frost.

The readers you have don't matter, they'll check the updates when they log on. They're not sitting at the computer refreshing and waiting for an update. If you post at the same time every time, you have the benefit of total consistency, which a lot of readers do like -- they like to know for...

If it's a joke story, that probably helped with the initial boost. This is an oversaturated market, so anything you're doing that's incredible different to everyone else is an advantage. People are probably like 'wow, I could use a super weird pick-me-up in this nest of fairly repetitive stories'.

Whether it's bad depends on what your goals are. If you just want to get a fun story written, your schedule doesn't matter (so long as it works for you to actually complete it). If you want a large audience that's going to keep reading, then when it comes to free serial projects like webcomics...
