I think Eldoria would be the kindly hostess. Tempokai is likely on the house mic roasting people. Envy's just chilling with an iced blood margarita. Two dozen random newbies showing up out of nowhere asking for feedback on hastily-monitised AI stories and the rest of us just huddled in a corner...

I'd say the opposite actually. The writers with the strongest reputations tend to have the most distinct voices - You can recognise a paragraph of Rowling, Tolkien or Clarke instantly. Its when you start dropping into the lower end shelf-fillers that the style begins to be flattened and...

I suppose one distinction that could be developed is that there is an objectively correct way to spell something (by convention). It makes more sense to delegate that out to a minion. Art and creativity isn't about adherence to a rule, but about expressing yourself. So once you start delegating...

Build billions of robots and clones that their doctrine forbids them from matching. Capture one of their fighters and upload ChatGPT to the system. Wait until they become addicted and start forming secret heretical cults to send smutty AI slop to each other.

“In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”

There was one released last year. 'Long Live Evil', but in my view the writer didn't lean into the evil very strongly, and the book itself is quite mid. Outside of Isekai, the Prince of Thorns trilogy by Mark Lawrence is famous for having a sociopathic protag, and on Scribblehub the 'Empress of...

I struggle with giving characters like-ability beats, jokes, flirtations etc; especially as they usually don't further the story in the same way as most other dialogue. Often, if I can't think of anything fun for them to say, a good fall-back is having them offer the main character a tasty snack...

I've bounced off Oblivion, I think 3 times, over the years. But this year I bought the remastered edition so perhaps fourth time will be the charm!

Yes its pretty normal, especially since you don't have that many views. The general stats seem pretty positive though, your 'view to favourite' ratio is brilliant, as is your reader retention, so you might be fitting more the profile of a hidden gem thats going under the radar.

Yak (presumably the arch-nemesis of the bull)

Coprolite

I think you should keep the description when you can tie it to a purpose. For example: 'It felt a little lukewarm' - Cut it, who cares. 'Crystal glass/fancy table' - could be useful, if the purpose is to highlight the protag at a fancy party, feeling out of their depth. You could tie it to...

Yep I use Gender Bender as the primary marker (closest fit) and then tag transgender as one of the sub-tags.

I've always been fond of Count Duckula

I think its worth bearing in mind that publishing conventions in themselves aren't 'the right way to do it.' Tons of great literature from before mass publishing would likely make an editor cluch their pearls (Hugo writing 50 pages on the Parisian sewers amidst Les Mis, War and Peace being...

The one above was kicked out of the zoo. They broke into the elephant enclosure with their arm swinging like a trumk and began calling out 'embrace me, brothers and sisters, for I come to lead you to power beyond your dreams." The anarcho-communist elephant rebellion is growing in strength with...

The one above me likes to put a pair of croissants behind their ears and pretend they are cow horns.

:love: Such a wonderful point, this!

Hey, I'd read it
