--- someone created what they call a disposable account, for the express purpose of saying that that to you. --- they created the same disposable account and ran around doing it to you and a ream of others. --- another possibility someone got their work 404'd and they came back to just spread...

I more or less agree with you. But I have to point it out. The "system" rewards the shorter chapters. The "system" disadvantages longer chapters. The fact this system was not designed explicitly, in no way obviates this simple glaring fact. Its to the point now that people spout...

they don't you expressly said no making fun of others, personally then you went and did it its now obvious both who can take what, as well as who can dish what out. thanks for doing my work for me!

oh. I'm sorry. I thought targeted insults were off the table. you should have specified the rules. targeted insults are on the table for OP, and off the table for all responders. the text is perfectly readable for content. PS - as a test, I once asked AI to "summarize" my <1k words short...

"Jesus H Christ, you could screw up a one car funeral." this thread connects with the comedy thread, in some ways. insult comedians, are professionals at it. do they still have "roasts" of famous people? Nothing is off the table at those things. some people like to come prepared to a function...

oh, dear. that's just my game. pity. they're a rich source of salt. but in real life, you're opponent will not refrain. and that's a problem with most modern younger people. They got raised on this insane notion that some things are sacred. well that's not real life. someone will go there. why...

I was recently asked what else of mine they could read, they liked it. They're caught up on my releases now after binging, and wanted something to keep them occupied. I was touched. Of course I acquiesced to a demand like that. If I could clone this reader, I could write for a living.

i glanced at it. If nothing else, I like seeing large paragraphs. Second new work asking for people here to take a look, that proudly displayed that in the opening chapter. Good god, maybe a trend is starting to reverse itself. I'm going to go back and give it a like just on that merit. pooh...

this. my first WN site ever (not here) I admit it, I was all excited like a kid on christmas eve, I reported back to my writing group, and... guy was like "oh, you mean you're all excited to see an art scammer, I bet." and yeah, that made *way* more sense, lol.

Not a casting thing, at all. But I sort of had Rutger Hauer in mind, for this one important side character in one big story. It will go up eventually. The same character was influenced by "Stee Jans", if anyone knows that reference. But other things went into him as well. But for looks and a...

the publishing industry takes a lot of the blame for the modern state of things. The last thing I want, is for them to get any of their original "gatekeeping" status back. Like an unfit mother, trad pub should lose the ability to have kids for all time. There's nothing wrong with the "golden...

everyone knows Benny Hill. Yet, I used to watch old re-runs of this "Dave Allen at Large" guy. (the one missing a finger, and he always drank whiskey on ice, and told 'gags' sitting on a stool, between his skits). then of course who doesn't know Monty python and some of the more famous members...

I laughed at myself, alone. The first time I sat and crossed out 17 thru 20 on my skeleton outline. "My character wouldn't do that, here's why" and went that new way forward. Christ, I'm artistic now. I sound like an actor, my character wouldn't do that. And yes, a side character once "begged"...

I write... well, perhaps I should say I "try" to write... as if its a paperback. the sort of thing I would have read growing up, I read a lot of vintage paperbacks. there's really not a lot of success to be found in web novel land, for that traditional paperback format. "what's with the long...

@AliceMoonvale : that's an excessively long post, Alice. I counted. More lines than any of mine. not as many blank lines to separate it. you better get *on* this.

I glanced at the first chapter. I'm impressed. Real paragraphs! Real sentences! No random bold and italics everywhere. reads like... a book, really. A paperback. like I said, I'm impressed. I'm going to mark this and maybe read the first chapter at least, next time. too many of these "hey look...

my case would be atypical. I insist on writing as if creating a paperback I would have read growing up. that's how I want it to read, that's what I aim for. it *really* doesn't fly well overall in WebNovel land. your writing might be more to market tastes. but welcome. the natives, emerge to...

and 90+9+1=100 percent chance it ain't nothing good.

I wondered that too. cant even google it, cause EM is standard for a number of technical things. Electro-Mechanical among them. wait, EM. as in... EM-dash. i just don't get the sprint part. in other news, I use the, what do they call it? The "stanford comma"? I just like it. Flows better to me.

in keeping with the theme then... since two other people said something about long posts (being longer than tweet length, apparently) you're actually the third person I found annoying to hear from. (drum roll *cymbal*)
