if it's a story i really enjoyed and would wholeheartedly recommend to other people, I give it a 5 :D

something someone told me: 'plot' is just a sequence of scenes. The plot is driven by smaller events, so considering it that way might help you plot out your novel more easily! As in, give your character a goal (an arc, in other words), and then think what smaller events would be necessary to...

If so, CF #2 might be passive aggressive. If they're in a relationship that CF #1 acts bossy but is actually quite soft to CF #2, then the passive aggressiveness could work. However, if CF #1 really wouldn't care less, and CF #2 isn't the passive aggressive sort of character, then yeah, I can't...

as long as the character isn't, like, rude/misogynistic, and isn't a wishy-washy your standard harem protag™, I'm usually good! I like characters who have a defined and consistent personality. :D also I have a thing for black-haired geniuses cough. Um. Intelligence is also attractive to see...

don't know if this advice will be relevant, but... If anything, keep things authentic! Stay true to your characters! Consider what kind of reaction each of them would give to certain situations, and let the drama happen naturally, instead of trying to force them into a drama. **If you force...

this is super random (lol) but this reminded me of something soo just gonna leave it here as food for thought (?) once upon a time, I attended a poetry reading by a couple published writers and asked a question during Q&A time to the (published!) writers there: "When did you know you were a...

idk but I like these! they're not cringey at all! unless I am the cringe, of course... ._.

people do joke around here a lot that it's basically all smut and stuff, but tbh there are many sfw works that do well here too! You'll find mainly light novel-originated genres like litrpg, reincarnation, isekai, that sort of stuff, usually coupled with being 18+. and as for censorship, check...

there are a few works of mine floating out there (not on this site) that I wrote a long, long time ago, and sometimes I do like to go back and reread them, just because it's surprisingly fun to. But that has to take about 2 years of not looking at it for me to be able to just enjoy them lol :D

I... don't want to seem like I'm trying to make arguments here :sweating_profusely: but I do think I should maybe defend myself? I included the part about the Korean author based on one of the original poster's previous replies that said they had many ideas but didn't want them 'wasted' on their...

Hi! Sorry to jump in here a bit late after I see that you've already made the decision not to go through with this plan after all I just wanted to throw in my two cents that this is a completely valid way to get your foot into writing. If you're not yet fully convinced, please do reconsider...

true! this is probably what I should be doing, but these titles are usually from major bouts of laziness (ahahaha) so I end up never doing it lolol I do change them later once I work on something in earnest, but I really should start doing relevant placeholders like you do :DD

Sounds similar to how I name everything I have no name for as "that thingy" or "a story" or (my usual go-to) "will I ever finish this" :blobthumbsup: makes for really bad maneuvering later on though haha

I'm not very familiar with this term, but if it mostly has to do with subversion of its intended genre, I would venture to add, for the common school rom-com genre, Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (uses common romantic tropes as its main source of comedy and builds off of cliches by intentionally not...

I want to be a baby dragon WHAT

Hello hello, Montgomery Montgomery!

oh I love how you got to reuse your original title in a sequel-- that's pretty cool!! You got to still use that pun, lol (those are my favorite titles haha) oh wooooow that is a LOT of planning!! Kudos to you lolol that's awesome hehe it got shorter as it went :blob_happy:

Iiiit's procrastination time, everyone! :DD Just for fun: What were your almost-titles of your current works? By which I mean, what were your "working titles", or the first title(s) that you came up with but ended up changing? (Like how Gone With the Wind's working (original) title was "Baa Baa...

Oh I love fillers!! :D There's so many ways you can use them, haha You could use them potential oohh, you thought it was a filler but it was actually deep-rooted foreshadowing >:) surprises or as breathing space for some comedic/heartwarming scenes, or ways to explore a side of a character to...

1 active (and posted here) 2 in progress (has some chapters, not published) 1 in the works (planning) and like, 6 different fanfics all at once that I started in the span of the last two years and never finished :sweating_profusely: they don't count....... right...?
