i'm interested in your personal definition of "competent." like, do you want to write amazing stratagems/xanatos gambits that will blow readers' minds or do you just want to flesh out a character who looks and acts competently as a guild leader? because while the former will require some...

why lower your standards at all? sounds like it'd just make you less satisfied for less gain. i'd say take some time to make a list of series you do like, see if there's similarities in them, and look for more series with those similarities. there are so many works of fiction in the world and...

the only "prologues" i've liked are those that show/preview a seemingly random (but exciting!) scene that becomes relevant in the actual story later. they're usually not too long and have a lot of action/plot going on. when i saw you mention "6-8k words" for this prologue, my interested...

i heard they're pretty direct on RR if that helps. i know that cnovel commenters (the raws, not the translations) can be absolutely ruthless about the smallest details (and also merciless to other readers if they think someone's making a mountain out of a molehill). anyways, you. i like you and...

you could consider just writing in notebooks and gdocs first instead of publishing online, since anything publicly available online will invite public scrutiny sooner or later. i spent most of my teen years just filling up journals with stories, crappy or otherwise. nowadays i feel solid enough...

Oohh progress! Happy, happy~ Let's hope this attracts more writers to the site!

me too me too! definitely shouting this out where i can <3

I like it for the plots. I read novel after novel of BG (boy x girl) romances/transmigration/revenge/time travel etc. and they got formulaic, stale, and same. Not to say there aren't good BG novels—plenty of them exist and I still love those—but the ones in my usual round of webnovel reads were...

Welcome back Hathnuz. This was a fun thread to check in on from time to time. I'm curious if anyone's made a companion thread to see the effects of his predictions? It's certainly old enough for one! (Also because trends are always shifting and what might be unpopular now might've been popular...

My main antagonist is well-meaning but in the most terrible of ways. But well, the end justifies the means, right?

What an interesting idea. I've seen this in a few JP/KR novel translations and while I don't mind it, it does remind me of reading a game play-through than an actual novel. Personally I prefer the more traditional medium (text, dialogue tags, descriptions) but I can see how this would appeal to...

it's spooky time, hehe

...i thought this was a durarara thread. but celty managed her headlessness well by wearing that motorcycle helmet all the time and flaunting her neck stump otherwise. XD

that's fine! i haven't gotten to the point where i've developed her fully yet so i agree with you that she's not "alive." right now she's more of a concept than a fleshed out character, because the whole story has a caricature/parody vibe. expressing myself in this thread has given me a better...

this...this tickles my fancy. will a single cup of coffee brewed by a sect leader boost my cultivation more than one say, by a common outer disciple? :3 as for contest themes, i'm really craving a nice adventure story of some sort. that will be good for the length requirements too since you can...

o snap if you want those i'll throw one your way but yeah all of mine are dark haired peeps because they're in a chinese cultivation setting >:3

bro i have a site that can get you your multiple authors and a completed story in 30min or less so you can write a bazillion of them if you want they make writing into a collaborative game after the players agree on the characters and stuff: https://franticfanfic.com/ technically there's no...

you kinda have to stumble on them by chance. i think one place where you'd have luck is prompt guy's tumblr: https://writing-prompt-s.tumblr.com/archive he posts prompts that other people send to him, and sometimes you can see people write replies in the notes, like the examples here: they...
