No smut. Write romance that doesn't need explicit fan service content to be good. Focus on actual chemistry between the people involved, rather than a flimsy relationship built only on passionate sexual encounters, that will ultimately fail when actually tested. A relationship done with tact...

Well depends on where you look - at that age, there are things like Fablehaven, Percy Jackson, Reckoners, and a number of interesting pieces of fantasy and science fiction that aren't too harsh. Of course, it all depends on the person's preference - I was reading by my own choice sci fi like...

I disagree. There are many wonderful books I consider family friendly - just not in genres like harems. And I don't see the need to be so salty about family friendly media. You want kids to have interesting appropriate things to read for their age, and then you have adults like me that prefer...

Oof... family friendly harem? That's a bit of an oxymoron, and I'm not really even joking.

Nothing. Only the cold dark void. I can't really concentrate when I listen to music while writing. Doesn't work for me.

Maybe at some point I will. I doubt that I'd be able to attain the glory of Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere though:

So just post my synopsis and an introduction to my story? Synopsis: He just wanted to save his family, but a conflict between species threatens to tear him apart... ※※※※※※※ When Irian's family and their farm comes under attack by the changing pressures of their industrializing world, he...

I did copy most of it from the wiki, though I was prepared to type it out - it was taking too long though ?

So, it sounds like you're writing more typical contemporary fantasy - much of the site is into isekai - that is, anime inspired portal fantasy. There is not as much of a fantasy presence on this site, but me and a few others are trying to make some space for it and Sci fi. If you want any...

Gosh, wouldn't that just be the cruelest thing? Make it so that people with only like ten views on their books think they see their story on trending when it really shows that just for them. I hate April Fools day.

That's true - I'm trying to get more people with fantasy inclinations to come over to this site, both IRL and online. Maybe it might change something. Maybe if I just dedicate myself purely to making a good story I'll have success on the site just by brute force so to speak.

I disabled Isekai and enabled fantasy. It feels like an April Fools joke - the exact same thing just happened on Wattpad according to a friend.

Well, I haven't gotten a new reader in five hours.... so something seems off. I'd expect that at least one new person would be looking. Okay, I looked in an incognito window - it isn't on there. I didn't think this was a thing. It filters by genre doesn't it according to your preference? Does...

I'm kind of being legit serious. I didn't think it was possible for a story with only 800+ views to get on trending - also, I haven't seen any uptick in views from a few hours ago. :blob_frown:

For some reason I read George's original crawl in that cliche 1930's newsreel voice. xD

Hmm... my obvious pick would be Hunchback of Notre Dame. Nix the da** gargoyles. Heighten the evils Frolo commits - they're already pretty dark, it's hard to believe that movie is LITERALLY RATED G. As for other films... hm. Not sure. Maybe explicitly bring up racism in Princess and the Frog...

So I redid my synopsis.... again. This time, I added the short teaser, which perfectly shows on my profile page before clicking on the story. I think this is a decent fusion between the worldbuilding focused synopsis and the character based one: He just wanted to help his family, but a...

I've done some research into the history and different folklore of merfolk for my story. While I found it interesting, I'm not sure if much of it has informed me on what I'm writing. It's kind of a bit more of the modern depiction of merfolk that I am looking at, a bit of a response to that...

eh hem, actually - short teaser before the main synopsis™ © 2021
