    Oh god, I can imagine! Yep, I doubt I could manage the whole thing in French. I love the book though, and I think that iconic line really needs to be in French to work. 'Wait and Hope' isn't really the most evocative translation.

    An old novel actually, the Count of Monte Cristo. Literally it means 'Wait and Hope', and figuratively something more like 'Never stop dreaming, and always stand ready to make your dreams come true'

    What's up with the downvoting?

    Totally, I'd be on board with having some sort of super-like as well, but I'd defer to those better informed on how to weigh it against the 'being nice' issue. Maybe a 'favorite' toggle that automatically added the story to your favorites folder and took you through to a little comment wall to...

    What's up with the downvoting?

    Yeah theres issue with grade inflation as well. Most people are going to click a 5* as a way of saying 'nice job', so anything below that feels a bit disheartening or mean. So typically you end up with 90% 5* ratings anyway, and the overall score of your story is defined mostly by how many...

    Mandatory review for rating low.

    I suppose it'd be impossible to control if their explanation was in good faith or even meaningful - likely they'd just put in something like 'this is shit' or 'boring'

    Writing Prompt the chosen idiot

    I'd probably write it off as a bad job. In any case, strange women in ponds distributing swords is no real basis for a system of government.

    Quote your favourite opening lines to a novel.

    The last question was asked for the first time, half in jest, on May 21, 2061, at a time when humanity first stepped into the light. The question came about as a result of a five-dollar bet over highballs, and it happened this way:

    Hey bring some pamphlets, you never know (Excuse me, do you have a minute to talk about Futas?) The one above lacks opposable thumbs, and is sadly therefore unable to hold the pen of any historical luminary

    Could there be an drop/exit interview?

    I'd imagine its less dramatic than you think. Likely they just bounced off enough to not read for a week or two. Then, when they did some housekeeping of their folders they thought 'meh I'm probably done with that' and shifted it out into the dropped pile. You might get one or two helpful...

    Chain Story

    The mad specter leered as she tore into Richard once more, half-torn pages fluttering lifelessly to the floor like so many discarded butterfly wings. "Next, my pretty, I'll have your indexes!"

    As an author, which character would you want to possess if you transmigrated into your fiction?

    Holly, I guess. All she has to do is go to college and play soccer. Being anyone from one of my fantasy adventure stories would be terrifying.

    Never fight giant insects, and other words to the wise.

    TBF the 'fix' I cited was basically to emphasise the horror elements. I just needed to work it out.

    Never fight giant insects, and other words to the wise.

    I remember at some point last year I tried to start off an adventure with a pyramid tomb raid, featuring an epic battle with a giant scarab beetle. The worst choice of a monster I could have made! Insects, you see, don't react in any sort of way that could be narratively interesting. They don't...
