    Seeking Feedback for my Story: I guess I'm finally ready to ask

    Thanks for the feedback. Initially, I couldn't wrap my head around this because I write as my head narrates. All the AI I asked said I mix past and present, no no. Then I went to Reddit to ask real people and they said it mattered. Now you tell me the same too. That means this is a real issue...

    Are 'em dashes' a put off simply because AI uses it a lot?

    So far I can only distinguish ChatGPT generated stories. CGPT tends to use short, punchy sentences with repetitions. Oh yeah, I totally forgot about the endash. There was a time when Microsoft Word or LibreOffice Writer could automatically correct my dashes to either one or them. But seriously...

    Are 'em dashes' a put off simply because AI uses it a lot?

    What do you think of em dashes in a novel's text? Personally, I find em dashes quite stylistic. It adds variety to the punctuations we already know: periods (.), commas (,), question (?) and exclamation marks (!), colons (:), semicolons (;) and the simple dash (-). A paragraph with multiple...

    Uggggh. Cringe.

    Wow... An artist who can draw authentic eastern anime, western comic and copy paste his/her own drawing (the torso is completely off) into an AI piece. ...I'm just an amateur artist, thus my understanding is that each artist have their own style. Even if they try to cross over into foreign...

    Do you put your own stories in your own reading lists?

    Hello everyone. For those who are bored enough to read my nonsense, allow me to waste your time: I woke up yesterday and logged in to SH, and was surprised/shocked to see that my own story is in my reading list. That's odd... I just said I wouldn't, but there it is. I don't drink. I don't do...

    Do you put your own stories in your own reading lists?

    Thanks for the feedback, everyone. It's nice. ? I've won't put my story in my reading list. I choose to face the truth bravely ?. Unfortunately... An "economic reader bubble" has been blown for me. ?

    What is your story ACTUALLY about

    Rebuilding from ashes and filling in a void left by another as a replacement. Also, it's not about how something began, but what it grows into.

    A Title Dilemma: Feel or Fact?

    Hey, guys. I'd chosen to title my story [Heraldry: The Sapphire Among Vines]. Initally, I thought it sounded cool, rolls of the tongue nicely, and since my MC is called Herald, I find it a good wordplay. Thing is, there is nothing in my story that has anything to do with the actual meaning of...

    Hmm... This is odd. My artwork isn't appearing. Perhaps it's too large a file. ? No big. Here's the link instead. Read my short comic strip on Reddit instead.

    Do you put your own stories in your own reading lists?

    Do you put your own stories in your own reading lists? I realized I can do that, and give even it five stars. But I haven't done that cuz I feels weird. And I also found out if you visit your own story page, the system counts it as a view.

    Writer's block---!! Okay, time for a break and pick up the pencil. Now working on a short comic strip, a reverse Isekai with my childhood anime! I haven't added the dialogue and stuff yet, just doing the line work.
