interestingly... My next chapter goes live on april 1st, not as a prank, and it does just this. But it's an important lesson for the protagonist. Plus, she's basically gonna force-ghost him now, and I do plan on bringing her back eventually. Just... many chapters from now.

nope. A first chapter should represent the rest of the story. Imagine walking into a grand and glorious entrance hall, thinking the family lived in such splendor, but the moment you enter a room, it's just a shabby, rundown camper, or they serve only chef boyardee because they're too broke to...

A. It definitely "feels" more. B is nice, but it's just kinda, "meh". a cover should convey the feeling of your novel, and A definitely seems to fit that more.

Train Heartnet delivering bad luck again? Jokes aside, nah, I agree. If it's true to the character, then I'm alright with it. Like in the anime Beast Tamer, Kanade, it makes sense for her to meow - she's literally a cat-monster. But other times, it's completely immersion breaking (I can't think...

well, SH is growing and as such has better discoverability. It also has looser restrictions on what is and isn't allowed over WP. AO3 is open to nearly anything. The only real restrictions are that submissions must be of "fannish" origin (yes, it's as ill-defined as you might expect...

I only use SH here on my primary. I do have an AO3 for stories I don't want connected to me (either due to content, quality, rambling thoughts, etc. basically just getting the trash out of my head so I can write here more effectively). I've used Wattpad, which was better for LGBT than some...

I use yWriter as my word processor usually. I only use Word to convert to a PDF for my subscribers. That said, it finally crapped out after yelling at me for the last 3 years that my sub would expire - that is to say, every day would push back the expiration date by a day. So I switched to...

It can be used as a source of cheap tension. "I'm only a level 3, he's a level 10. I have no hope of winning, but if I lose, then the world will be destroyed".

I can back it up. Harry Potter is original, yes? Even though you have nazgul sucking happiness from people. You've got The One fighting against the Dark Lord. Elements of LotR. Star Wars is basically just the bible. LotR, you can see elements of christianity in it - heaven, hell, a journey...

haven't read any corty fics. But I'm referring more to the fact that any modern story, you can find and pinpoint an older story that shares the same premise, a similar world, character growth, and/or other aspects. and not webnovels, but actual published novels, going back to the earliest...

There is hardly any true originality in existence these days. Everything is a mimic and retelling of something else. If you look hard enough, you cna even find exactly where the inspiration has been pulled from. I'm sure some people reading my works will see parallels to other shows that what I...

I've had people claiming to have read my works on here approach me on other sites, like X and bsky with the same spiel. I always tell them the same thing. You approach me, it's fanart. That means I don't pay. If you WANT to draw my characters, go ahead. I'll post it with credit. If I approach...

well, I've got 2 current stories i'm working on. if we take Arland (my mysthavia books), he'd likely do alright in Fractured Bonds but he'd definitely die in the upcoming sci-fi story, since he was born and raised in a might-and-magic world. he wouldn't fare well in a sci-fi world. But if we...

I'll be honest: It's not a style I'm personally fond of. That said, it IS still an outstanding piece of art. My opinion is not the end all for what is good, and I can objectively speak that it is fantastic, even if it's not a style I'd personally choose. It's also infinitely better than I...

ahhh. Well, I gave it my best shot lol :blob_salute:

not mine, but one I read years ago: "The graveyard is packed. People must be dying to get in."

Like the katana Erza faced in the Tower of Heaven arc that was sharp enough to be able to cut even through dimensional divides, but rather than a weapon capable of it, it'd be the wielder that can use any sharp weapon to do so?
