    How do other sci-fi authors gain readers?

    Writing online is difficult. If you enjoy reading sci fi and fantasy, when you are looking for a new novel to read, you're going to ask your friends or family. That means what stories get to you are more well known ones. Stories get well known through actually being formally published (doesn't...

    With writing, a difficult reality is, the best writers are ones who have gone out into the world and experienced things. Find some method with which you can interact with women more. Being able to share your writing with women is also a plus. The bottom line however is this: experiences can be...

    I am now a part of the 1 star club

    Personally, unless the story had a bunch of one star reviews, I'd ignore it if I saw it on a story.

    This is why I hate humans

    what in the heck is this thing? Who on earth made this?

    The unfortunate thing absent from this list I think though is that on this site, you need to write in the popular genres. If you want to write something like traditional fantasy and sci fi on the site, there's not much likelihood you'll be noticed, no matter how good your writing is or how...

    Not on this website. I am starting to question if the minute effort it takes to copy and paste my docs onto scribblehub is even worth it when even Wattpad is getting more than double the views and like ten times the engagement. My opinion of scribblehub has diminished significantly since I...

    What is the hype in guns?

    Well I'd have to say then my friend that you only seem to know a very specific segment of americans. Most people I know don't talk about guns much. I should also make note of the fact that I actually live in the United States. In my experience when people from Europe, which I will make some...

    What is the hype in guns?

    Well that's not been my experience. It depends heavily on what part of the US you're in, because the attitudes of someone in Florida will be very different from a place like Colorado, or New York from Nevada, and further what part of those states you're living in. I think I may also dare to say...

    What is the hype in guns?

    Part of it is a blanket perception. If all you know about guns in the US, and just the US in general, is from what the media says, the US probably sounds like a horrible place. I'd expect you'd get a lot of similar ugly presentations of countries if all you looked at was the constant bickering...

    Talking to God would Probably Sound like a Stoner

    I wasn't really intending that meaning. Saying that God loves us and desires our happiness does not mean we're going to be happy all the time. That's a fallacy. God is our Father in Heaven, and like an earthly parent, knows that we must suffer through things on this Earth to learn and grow, to...

    Talking to God would Probably Sound like a Stoner

    Counterpoints: The angels in the Bible are described in a variety of ways, and the oft touted "biblically accurate angel" is not explicitly stated to be literal, or whether its a vision, etc. Something I'll also say is that broadly in the Bible, we see that God repeatedly is making efforts to...

    System novels are annoying

    I just find the whole premise of a lit rpg really odd. The whole purpose of putting stats into stories is to make it interactive. You are doing a choose your own adventure, D&D, etc sort of thing and you want to be able to track the person's stats. In a book, the reader is not in control, it is...

    Give me tips ans help for writing because i'm new

    My recommendation on getting better at writing - watch videos online on writing tips. There are a lot of great ones out there, but most of the recommendations I can offer are fantasy and sci fi centric, so they may not be as applicable to people on a site like this. Aside from that, my main...

    Hyperfixations

    You'd have to be more specific. I know that I'm on the autism spectrum, and while I have interests in some stuff considered autistically cliched, I'm not sure if I have anything that goes into the hyperfixation category.

    World Building

    The most important thing to me is extrapolation. Think about how the choices people make, the things that are different in your world, how they affect everything. In my story, it is in the future. There is much more advanced genetics technology. How is this technology used? If it is used in...
