Wish-fulfillment self-insert is what you usually think of with a Mary Sue/Gray Stu for sure.

People will give your story one star just because they don't like things you have written on the forum. I have one person that seems to makes new accounts to give me a bad rating every week, it's kind of sad.

A friend of mine once said, "Here's how to spot a Gary Stu: You're reading a book by Terry Goodkind."

I don't come up with anything until I start writing my new story.

Twelve men and two women in very expensive suits took their seats at the long table. At the head of the table, an older woman sat down and slowly opened a manilla folder and flipped through some documents before saying, "In nineteen eighty-five one man had a dream, a dream to be the very best...

For me it's horror. I have never really tried to write scary fiction and I am eager to try it.

When I write a synopsis I think what can I say that won't contain a spoiler yet still express what the story will be about in an interesting way.

Why would that matter? If I had sat and watched her entire catalog of videos if I had read all of her books if I had built a shrine to her existence, how would that have anything at all to do with my point? You say that you feel I am easily offended by a lot of things based on what, exactly...

I dislike videos like these on the whole due to the dishonest nature of presenting an opinion in a way that makes it seem like common sense or fact. I understand that you felt the video was speaking some opinions that you agree with, and you were eager to share them. I am also not saying that...

I can't believe my luck, how could a 90s Isuzu delivery truck end up crashing into a cubicle on the second floor of a government office building? Then to be transmigrated into the body of a middle-aged minister for the court of the Kingdom of Pays Des Abrutis of all things. I wouldn't have...

Once you introduce the nickname to your readers it's normal to use it. If your character is introduced as the mysterious girl, and you suddenly call her Weezy, people will be confused I imagine.

My advice is to keep it simple. It sounds like you are making your outlines too complex. My outlines are usually not much more than writing prompts. When you outline in too small of a detail, you might end up over explaining some things that would have a better flow if you came up with them...

Greg Lamb was tired of his job at the amusement park. Pulling the lever and pressing the buttons on the "Scream" wheel while looking at the pretty girls who laughed and called him names like "Joe Dirt" and "Hillbilly" when they thought he couldn't hear them. He grumbled and waited for the bell...

If you go back and read my posts here in this "CF thread" you won't find me in opposition to the idea of changing the trending system. I am in no way emotional about that. What my problem is and what I have had to repeatedly defend was the idea that I am manipulating scores, or somehow "gaming...
