    [Poll] Do you want to be in SHF Lore?

    And so, Anon started the "Ignored By Lore Club" where all the minor characters go to talk about their "SHF Lore" self-insert hopes and dreams. Thanks for creating this space, Anon. I'm glad to be surrounded by like-minded, and completely unremarkable, easily fade-into-the-background peers. We...

    Watch this, En-chan. I'm about to show you the incredibly dangerous battlefield we just stepped into. Its name is "Arcane Punctuation Rules." First-- The "en dash" should not be used here. You need to use the "em dash." The tumblr example is wrong. Furthermore, they are using an incorrect...

    Hans, your story of choice is an isekai and your initial covers feature a busty woman. You're following a general concensus regarding a hot genre and marketing trends in light novels XD Even your cast pages are done in the style that kadokawa solidified (That joke aside, I respect your work)

    Thanks. I think this is what he's saying too now. Thanks again. I get tunnel vision and get too caught on the details sometimes. I agree with this thought regardless. Sailus, I think I've mentioned I'm a non-native english speaker too. So I get you. As for the disagreement, I don't know. I...

    Okay, let's make sure we all are clear on something here, because I think we all agree, but thoughts are flying all over the place. There is a difference between being a good storyteller, and being a good writer. Rowling and Stephen King, are, according to other writers, not good 'writers.'...

    Answering questions: 1. Maybe, maybe not. 2. Given how many people complain when a story isn't what they thought it was and give 1-star because of not reading the description, they are probably a minority. What are you trying to say with these questions, Sailus? Do you want us to focus on an...

    Just to make things clear, I didn't think this was wrong, and I still don't think this video is wrong after watching it. I'm on the side of this. And he's right. Agents legitimately won't like this. You can get away with it on webnovels, but the publishing world sets their own rules, and they've...

    There are... some concerning ideas being shared here. Firstly, yes. The concensous is to rely on 'said' more than exclaimed, suggested, declared, roared. Those words should be used for special situations. Going out of your way to come up with synonyms gets you to close to purple prose for the...

    Determining the Optimal Level of Overpoweredness: Is It Possible?

    Okay, I will try to tackle what I can. I'm going pretty fast, so I'm not really sitting down and giving you deep thoughts. These are more like general guidelines that would work for me. Regarding: " However, I'm facing a dilemma regarding how overpowered (OP) the character should be. Should I...

    Determining the Optimal Level of Overpoweredness: Is It Possible?

    Hey, I'll throw my hat in the ring and give you thoughts, working off of what others have said here, and adding my own info from experience. My credentials: I specialize in overpowered characters and make a good amount doing so, so my theories lead to profit, which means they lead to profitable...

    Paul's feedback thread

    Paul, I've run multiple youtube channels before I tried writing novels, one of them having over 30, 000 subscribers with a few videos hitting over 500,000 in views. If you want to expand outward, you want a generic-like name. What I mean is that if the channel isn't about YOU it should describe...

    Rate: Suffering isn't a part of learning in the context of a child touching a hot pan against the advice of a parent. Rate: the previous rating: "1/10 otherwise, because it doesn't quite make sense unless Event B is some sentient power that is the center of everything." given the newly...

    Rate: Trials and Tribulations are part of God's majesty/ master plan, and "suffering" is how humans perceive trials, sacrifice, death, and rebirth.

    Keanu Reeves! Also, what do you think about the idea that time didn't start at the beginning, call it Event Alpha, but instead started at Event B, where the past (and Event Alpha) is formed to justify Event B and make it certain, and the future is what follows Event B, and constrained by the...

    Need help finding a movie--possible mandela effect in place

    Brah, who has ever thought of pitting a pegasus of all things, versus a chimera? And then leading with slaying a dragon? I'll give you points for the terminator part, but time leaping to camelot's been done in more than one portal fantasy XD But yeah. These guys make me feel like anyone can be...
