I don't really care because they only exist for fan service most of the time. Adults that look young exist. My problem is that the focus is usually only on the fan service when being that old and looking that young has so much potential storywise. how did affect relationships? what has this...

I wrote for myself for years. Now I hate that advice. No actor says they want to act in a movie for themselves. They want people to watch it. No artist says they're going to make a masterpiece and hide it away. Writing the stories you enjoy and want to read is good but at this point in my...

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look it up. I can never have enough pirates. I should probably watch Sinbad for like the hundredth time

I love One Piece but I only checked it out after I'd already written my first series and standalone. I wouldn't even classify that as a pirate story. It's nice but not a swashbuckler. It's also kinda frustrating when I tell someone I'm writing a pirate story and they're like 'so basically you're...

I write the stories I want to read. One of my series was written purely out of spite. I saw the Chinese Drama Bodyguards/Hot Girls and, while it is a guilty pleasure, I said 'I can do it better' then decided to put my money where my mouth is... and then the story, while still about bodyguards...

Two of my series alone are almost 600,000 words. then two more would be about 300,000 words together (they're not done yet). my unpublished works are at least another 500,000 and the two stories I'm publishing here, one is 60k so far and the other is 85k. Yeah... I write a lot

My hatred for eating fish and the sport cricket. Even in fantasy I will find some way to work in the fact that cricket is a stupid and boring sport

Maybe it was a weird form of love? To be so detailed otherwise is just strange

:ROFLMAO: This started out so normal and then went straight to kidnapping and cults. I don't know what impresses me more, the imagination involved or the fact that it's almost 1,000 words in a single sentence

I took a look at the cover and synopsis. The cover isn't very interesting so it doesn't draw me in. However I think the synopsis might be where you're losing people. All I know about the story is that a man gets teleported to another world. That's it. The standard definition of an isekai...

This. 100% this. I rarely, rarely get comments so when I get one saying I misplaced a comment, it's just depressing since I want to talk about my story (I spent countless hours on this thing. so sue me if I want to talk about it). I love questions about the story or characters, theories about...

I've finished well over two dozen stories already. I'm always excited to finish a story because then I can move onto another one and new ideas are always exciting to start writing

The eight sequence method but I usually spend a lot of time before planning brainstorming and working out the character personalities, goals, why they don't have their goal already and what they're willing/not willing to do to get it. Once I have that worked out for all the main characters (yes...

Confused. So much confusion. Since when can he reach things with his arms? Also happy since he can now reach things with his arms.

I really can't connect with any of those three reasons so that's why I always feel disconnected when they start talking about passion etc. I don't think I've ever seen sex used in a story that has benefitted from the sex being in there (benefitted plotwise not reader-wise) but I'm not going to...

My doctor told me that people like the idea of the risk. I don't get it. She did say she makes extra money because of that so...

Reader satisfaction is a must. Promise revenge? Give revenge. Promise sex? Give sex. Promise a mystery? Don't catch the villain off screen! But back to the original poster's question, maybe the balance between steam and plot could be worked on? Or maybe the readers were very satisfied :s_wink...

The solidification of committment in a sex scene is what I can handle. I can understand people in a relationship wanting to do horizontal cardio, the devil's tango, etc. What I don't get is one night stands. I think my turn off is that the last few series I've watched, the sex scene was like the...

I am not a fan of smut. I like the slow burn romance. The moment they get into bed is the moment I lose interest in the story. I avoid any story tagged with smut in it. But I think it has more to do with your target audience. Smut readers tend to read very quickly so they might not leave many...

I think if the scene is lasting for so many words then the scene itself might be too long. I would personally split it into two or more chapters, just because I like reading shorter chapters. but you are the writer. If the chapter needs 10k words then it needs 10k words but only you would know...
