    release timing

    If you want to try hard, you can look for the most popular novels in the genre and tags that match your story, and then post on days when none of them update. Personally I just do it on the weekend because otherwise I forget or procrastinate

    Does anyone use the glossary feature?

    So today I started filling out a SH glossary, hoping that it would help readers quickly catchup despite my infrequent updating. The thing is, I went searching around to see examples of how other people were using the glossary, and I could not find anything. Does anyone else use the glossary on SH?

    @SailusGebel all my knowledge of solo leveling comes from what my roommate tells me about. When I say ’from what I’ve seen’ I mean from what my roommate told me. You’d have to pay me to actually sit down and read it, so I haven’t actually seen anything of it yet

    @Prince_Azmiran_Myrian from what I’ve seen it’s well written, and has good action. I just think the genre is lame. To me feels like casting pearls before swine to have such a great work in such a dumb genre. But if you don’t think dungeons invade earth is stupid you’d probably like it

    I'm tired of all these terrible bait threads.

    The key to a good bait thread is genuinely hold a dogshit opinion everyone will get mad about. The best bait comes from the heart

    Seeing solo leveling go mainstream is like seeing my own unique hell manifest in reality. Dungeons invade earth is the worst most creatively bankrupt genre devised by man, and I hate that it is becoming popular

    How do you Hook Readers in a Chapter?

    My style of doing it is a single flashy sentence of dialog right at the start of the first chapter. My goal is to make it so that if the reader drops the story after only reading a single sentence, they’ll be leaving in a major cliff hanger

    How does it look to you? A thief in a magical world.

    One of the world building pieces I made but never put into a story was a world where the biggest hobby of wizards and mages was sleight of hand magic. Since in a world where mages can detect traces of any magic, sleight of hand and other deceptive magic tricks become a way to showcase...

    [POLL] Best Cat of SHF

    The tonal whiplash of having the name of a Assyrian king, and the pfp of an anime cat girl still gets me

    Commissions Open — Affordable Crunchy Portraits!

    $15 is indeed a pretty decent price for a fully colored and shaded portrait. Your images are bit low res but I’m assuming that’s a quirk of the forums rather then the resolution of the original file

    How do you feel about protagonists who struggle on their journey to success?

    I absolutely can’t stand stories where the protagonist only ever loses or takes Ls up until the very final moments of the story. In theory it should make the final victory seem all the much better, but more often it only annoys me.

    Will You Play Assassin's Creed Shadow?.

    After Ubisoft support gave me the middle finger when my newly purchased copy of siege soft locked itself in an unplayable state I vowed to not buy another Ubisoft game. From the looks of it I’m not missing out on much

    Seeking Advice or Just Sharing My Story

    Still even if the money is bad compared to what you can get on patreon I’d still suggest you try to do a job first. There are tangible benefits associated with a job that you wouldn’t be able to get as a full time writer working for an audience half the world away. No matter what country you’re...

    Seeking Advice or Just Sharing My Story

    If you are making money from Patreon I see no need to do a creative writing course. It means you already have the skills required to be successful . You are already a student, and writing. So what makes you think you won’t be able to write alongside doing an accounting job? If I were you I’d...
