    Who Actually Uses The News Feed Function?

    Idk, it seems like a really cool feature. Though the visual interface is really clunky and has too much stuff going on, plus it's in its own little corner so I don't know if anyone actually use it.

    Google Sign in

    This was suggested by nightowl in discord and I really liked the idea so I'm putting it here. Add google/fb/twitter sign-in API to the login window. This would help in making the process more convenient for new users. Plus, you can prompt unregistered users to create an account after they read...

    The Fundamental Difference Between A 5 Star And A 1 Star Reviews

    The idea that people who leave random 5 stars are as bad as those who just drop 1 star has been getting popular for a while now. That's not without good reason. They're both unconstructive reviews that are done mostly as a kneejerk reaction rather than an actual intellectual analysis. They both...

    Writing in First Person Before Switching to Third

    I discussed this idea before on discord (some months ago) and have been ridiculed for it, but I'm going to rehash it and formalize it in this thread. One of the biggest mistakes new authors make when writing in the third person is that they choose to go with a limited approach but constantly...

    Your first Novel SHOULD Suck

    In my years in this writing community, I have received lots of advice. I met a lot of wonderful people who, without them, I would have never reached where I'm at today. On the same breath, I have given lots of advice to newbie writers. I would tell them which parts of their novels sucked, how...

    Constucted Languages And Going Down The Rabbit Hole

    I recently went back to working on my conlangs after putting them off for the better part of a year. My plan was to use these languages to add more depth to the story and the world it is set in. I was going to make one for each major race, so five in total. But then as I start digging a bit...

    Making the like button bigger

    Or more prominent in some way. The way it is set up now doesn't emphasize interaction with it at all, which is a damn shame.

    Fantasy Hitler Copycats

    As I was thinking about the lore of my story and fleshing it out in my mind, I quickly fell down the rabbit hole of recreating nazi Germany with different names. This got me thinking about how popular the trope actually was in fantasy and sci-fi. A frustrated man with racial pride rallies over...

    There Should Be More God MMO litrpgs

    More precisely, stories that fall under the kingdom building/litrpg genre with emphasis on growing a cult and dominating the world. Kingdom building litrpgs are already so damn rare, so stories that fall under the subgenre of Godlitrpg are even more scarce. I can only remember a few stories that...

    The Flexing Phase

    For some reason, every author that I know of reaches that phase in their career where they start flexing to kingdom come. For every word, they would use thesaurus and try to find its most archaic form. Every description is prose within prose. Now, I'm not saying that I can't enjoy a very complex...

    Percentage of depression within writers

    Almost every writer that I know of is or has been depressed. I want to know if this is something that only I experienced or if there is a bigger world out there where artist aren't depressed and the flowers are pink and the birds chirp with the morning dew.

    How To Make Money Off Your Web Novel

    Disclaimer: This list isn’t some scientific thesis on how to guarantee maximum profit from posting web novels. It’s just a list that I and many other authors go by when posting a new story and trying to make a profit off it. One other major thing, I will not talk on this list about Kindle...

    What do you guys think the average age for a webnovel author is?

    I know that it depends a lot on which site you use, or even which genre you write in. A royalroad horror story writer probably is more mature than a Watpad vampire young love story one. But in general, where do you think the majority fall under?

    how big of a creature can you kill without entering into illegal territory?

    I can kill an ant without going to jail, but will that stay the same for when I gun down a dog in the streets? Let's see how large can we get in our murdering spree without having the feds knocking on our doors. PS: Use whatever laws u live by or are familiar with in this thought experiment.

    Styles of narration

    If there is one thing that can be called the author's signature, it would be their style of narration. By that I mean every word that isn't the voice of a character. The words you choose to describe a scene are very important. Example, take these two sentence: My eyes shot open like a dragon...
