The Wacom One is good and only $40-$60 USD. It's probably one of the better tablets that won't break the bank, though I feel like those real expensive ones really work wonders if you know how to use them.

Oh I remember this story! Wow I read this one like two years ago at this point. Gosh, it's been a long time now. I hope the story does very well on Scribble Hub.

I like stories where very memorable characters bounce off of each other constantly and the plot is more of an excuse to bring characters together. Alternatively, I like stories that focus on huge ideas, usually sci-fi or magical realism or metafiction, that go into crazy places even at the...

I want someone to illegally translate my stories WTF

I made a huge and (at the time) fairly comprehensive list of almost every English language web fiction site back in march, but it's still contained to some Reddit thread and I haven't bothered to make a blog post about it or something easier to share. That said, just with the stories contained...

This might help lift up some non-smut stories on the regular site, so I think this might be a good idea.

You can read Blessed Time!

This is not at all what you are looking for, but back in 2015-2016 I wrote dozens of stories lampooning the 2016 Presidential elections, and one of them, titled "Martin O’Malley and the Vision Quest of a Thousand Bernie Sanders Supporters," features Martin O'Malley becoming an eldritch...

Mostly it does seem to be the stories that just don't fit in the genre wheelhouse, but there ARE stories that don't fit in RR's niche that have done phenomenally well, like Re: Trailer Trash, The Courting of Life & Death, Synth, Epilogue, and more. Even my own romance novel, thanks to the sheer...

Just using Google Maps probably would have been the wiser and less silly option, but I didn't take it. I didn't even get any good photos because it got dark too soon :blob_teary:

I always choose a very specific target audience for my stories: I pick one of my friends and write the story to appeal to that person as much as possible. Then I post it and desperately hope other people like it too. It's worked OK so far.

I never use any sort of grammar software and I even forget to use spellcheck software before I post chapters, too, which often leads to stupid typos (not that typos really matter for non-copyedited free fiction). I have never really considered Grammarly but I wonder sometimes if it might help...

Most stories that have tons of pages but absolutely no views are crossposted from other sites, at least from what I've seen. It seems like people dump all their chapters on new sites at once in order to "catch up" with other sites quickly, or other things. Or, they don't try to get involved in...

Every protagonist I write is, in some way, a shade of myself in some way or another. Even when I write characters vastly different to myself, I still see parts of me reflect back at me. Weirder still is when, completely unintentionally, I end up in a situation very similar to something I've...

Use movies as the example. Movies CAN'T do info dumping (except for text crawls at the beginning) so they have to do worldbuilding very differently from books. They are a good example of how you can establish your world without relying on info dumps. Star Wars, the original one, is the...

TV: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, which is the perfect action-adventure/isekai/romance type story and it didn't get NEARLY popular enough for how great it is. I'd rank it as my #3 or #4 Western animated series ever. Movie: The most recent movie I've watched for the first time and really...

Ralph Ellison's The Invisible Man is incredible.

I don't teach middle school but I teach at a combined elementary-middle school and get to encounter a lot of Early Teen Culture, which is, as you would expect, really embarrassing sometimes. It's also really endearing to see, because it wasn't all that long ago that I myself was one of those...

I got one: That trope where the hero lets the bad guy live, and then the bad guy refuses to take the path and the hero is "forced" to kill them anyway. It happens with such amazing commonness that it's even in stuff I really like, but it's just annoyingly trite when you think of the idea that...

I like stories with gay male protagonists, but I've almost never been able to get stories labeled BL. What exactly is it about the genre that is turning me off, because I really haven't been able to pinpoint it over all these years. I want to find the BL stories that win me over!
