Man, some people will just do about anything other than write for the love of the game. Am I the only one that doesn't check the word count until I'm done? Anyway, you figure this issue would fix itself. If people don't like super short chapter spam, then you'd think they would read those...

I think that sounds incredibly interesting. Did you make that up entirely? The only thing I'd question is how effective can sound dampening be if it isn't also some kind of magic? Did I misinterpret that part? I'd say the idea could overstay it's welcome if there's not more to it, but the idea...

I think most of everything is technically average, with more of a remainder on the low-quality side, and that's a statement on everything. Products, media, etc. That's just the law of averages, I'd think.

I like your book cover. I don't think it's too complicated. It reminds me of having a new book and heading home while just analyzing the cover. Covers are meant to be looked at, and even minimalism is a statement. Good job!

I think humor is more of an author trait and signature than something to necessarily craft or hone. If you're a naturally humorous person, as in funnier than fart jokes, then you can fit it into almost any narrative. Horror media often plays with the humiliating, ironic, absurd, and down right...

Absolutely. Whenever I read a dark scene in a novel, or see it in visual media, my first question is "is this necessary?" A no is honestly the worst thing the audience can walk away with, even if they're "wrong," then it's the author's responsibility to prove it. ASOIF has many dark scenes, but...

Figuring out what the status quo of your world is, even if it isn't chapter one, would be an amazing place to start. If you know what an average day is like, you can branch out from there with the details being why things are the way they are. That doesn't need to make it into the text, but at...

Docs has a hard character limit. I'm not sure what happens when you reach it, but you wouldn't be able to type anymore. The clunkiness might be the auto-saving and attempt to keep everything loading at once from the cloud, so I'm not sure if it will ever truly corrupt, otherwise they'd probably...

That's an author horror story. Geez. Was the previous version super far back? I wonder how corporate/government workers and lawyers get around this. They're files are extremely long and they HAVE to be accurate an uncorrupted. It could all be redundancies with everything backed up dozens of...

To be honest, I'm unsure. This draft is extremely rough. Even ignoring the major grammatical issues, it's unclear what the actual plot is. Aliens attacking humans in the near future? If you pretend that you know nothing about your own story, and read this line-by-line and keep a separate notepad...

Tell us more. Does this apply to Docs too? 50k really isn't that much for a document, so I wouldn't think it would corrupt so easily. Even the version history was corrupted? I've never kept such a large document in Word, but I used to be thoroughly impressed by all the fail-safes to prevent...

It's a ticking time bomb the further you step away from mainstream writing software. I've heard too many horror stories. Working in Docs or Word, backing up to the cloud, and having downloaded and external backups would be pretty much foolproof. I've never seen a platform with writing software...

I think any topic comes with risks, and sensitive ones come with more risks. If you're not taking risks, then are you really creating anything at all? I'd say that authors should do their research, in general, but especially so with sensitive topics. It's not even just because you want to have a...

Thanks, Alski. I just choose to be positive. I write because I love to write, so the only negative I can process in the context of the writing world is literary and narrative critique.

On paper, he's such a good character, and I'm sure there are comics that exemplify it, but it's executed so poorly in the MCU. It reminds me of when they debuted him in the comics, when every hero basically had a new successor. I believe it was the same generation as Miles Morales and RiRi...

With how many people jump to accusations of A.I when someone writes more than one coherent sentence, it's at least confirmation of some kind of "skill," even if they're equating your skill to an algorithmic conglomerate of averages. Don't say that. 😭 Maybe you're doing so well that they didn't...

I actually only thought to post here on the forum after emailing. I don't want to confuse the admin. Should I just wait on any response first?

The African-American community has been portrayed in a negative light for a very long time throughout history. When the media is trying to make you out to be violent, and you finally get a chance to add your media to the mix, it makes perfect sense that this would be the result. You forgot MCU...

I don't disagree with you morally, but we wouldn't even be creating a searchable database with usernames, it'd just be the same few spam messages over and over again. Sure, it can burst a new author's bubble, but I'd argue that if you're the kind of person to find a random thread on a forum...
