    How much symbolism is there in your story?

    Sometimes I get a little too obsessed with symbolism and references, putting them in names, places, colors, numbers... Basically everywhere I can. Do you ever do that? I think it's fun to do and to see if anyone got it, even more if they're hinting at something big in the story.

    Recommendations Secret supernatural world/organization

    It's basically the Harry Potter for the Japanese of this generation. I'm looking for novels kinda like Tokyo Ghoul or Chainsaw Man, where there's an organization that deals with entities like this (NOT LIKE S.H.I.E.L.D.) I think I would enjoy more if it's like Jujutsu Kaisen, where the civilians...

    Add a "Neurodivergent Characters" tag

    If I want to read a story about a character with depression and search for the tag Depression, I will get a depressive psychological tragedy story.

    Do I use the smut tag?

    I accidentally wrote a suggestive scene in a novel I didn't really plan to have sex or anything (probably got influenced by the smut miasma around Smut Hub). I plan to add one or two more, but it's not the focus of the novel. Even so, do I use the smut tag?

    Scrapped ideas

    What are some scrapped ideas that you didn't find a way or it just didn't fit in your novel? I'll start.

    What time do you use Scribble Hub the most?

    Asking because I want to know the best time to post a chapter. You don't need to say your timezone if you want, most readers are from the US or Brazil (at least mine) For me, it's right after I wake up, so 9 to 11 AM

    Reader's pet peeves

    I call these "pet peeves" but they make me livid: - Synopsis with "Will he be good? Or will he be bad?" I DON'T KNOW YOU TELL ME - Synopsis with "Watch how he..." WOW NEVER SEEN THAT A TRILLION TIMES BEFORE - Synopsis with literally just the gimmick. "Naruto goes to the real world dude" - No...

    I think most people who only speak one language will not get this In what language do you think? I knew a guy that lived in Brazil and spoke Portuguese in his daily life but he consumed a lot of American content and most of his friends ended up being from America. I'm self-taught so I mix up...
