Goodness sakes. These threads. You don't decide. Your fans decide.

No no not you, lol. I'm referring to the little imp who doesn't know what surreal means, doesn't know what genre means, doesn't know what literature means, and apparently doesn't know even what stupid means. (yawn) I really do have to decide whether or not to post fiction here. And as long...

Still going on? This thread reaffirms my decision to take my work down here. I may change my mind, but the only "views" were spammers, trolls, cranks, children. As to the last: doesn't this place have a minimum age constraint? I left Wattpad and Quotev because they were kiddy playpens...

Yes Charles, by far the most difficult novel form to sustain. That's why it has won several Nobel prizes. The OP has gone from absurd to nasty and delightfully puerile, but he did make one cogent point: he accused me of not posting my books here. He's technically correct about that. I...

LOL. I know, right. I look stupid right now. Trash on Wikipedia has given me a strict dressing down. LMAO. I weep for the future. The lexicon is increasingly mangled by brats and bots. We're doomed. Surrealism. In literature. Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose and The Island of the Day...

Surrealism isn't a genre. It's a literary style. It can utilized for any story, any plot, any genre. I've clicked your link, and I've gone through your chapters. You have six or seven chapters, but you don't seem to have actually written anything. Frankly, I don't know what you're doing...

Why don't you ask on Wattpad? Oh... you can't... they've shut their forums down. Wattpad stinks.

Both versions contain both development and action. As I read them, I observe that the developmental elements are extraneous to the action. However, then I read your closing sentence, and your question, viz., in which scene is the character more memorable? This is where I realize that I have...

Why would you run your text through an AI checker, ever? Why would you care what an AI checker has to say about anything you wrote? You know you wrote it. Isn't that enough? Don't understand at all. Back to the topic. Emdashes. Proper usage? That's tricky. If you need to think that hard...

The second essential problem with emdashes, as someone above correctly relates, is that GPT uses them in mimicry of text it trains on. Training was first on human-originated text, but we've passed the knee of that curve, and LLMs are now training on the garbage from other LLMs, and they're all...

Never removing one's bunny slippers and never leaving the house, for fear of stubbing one's toe, is another kind of death.

What do you mean, it's your favorite but there's stuff you don't like? Nothing is without flaws. To embrace a thing is to embrace it in totality. With its flaws. Be it a book, a song, even a loved one. it's not a favorite if you can't accept it in totality. I write fan fiction. Of the crap...

No. My favorites are my favorites, because I like them as they are.

Dear lord, size fifteen? Is it true, what they say? The rest of you is built proportionally? Inquiring minds want to know

Lol, do not recommend?!?! Do people lose toenails by choice? Like shoving sharp metal through themselves because that's what's missing in their life? smh Thought I was sharing an affliction. Not another sick fetish. lol

When I realized some of my "readers" were really bots and scammers, I tried to find the size of the Scribblehub active membership list. For a baseline estimate of the actual reader pool. To esimate how many people were actually reading. Couldn't find it. I decided the easiest thing all...

Weren't there a few variations of this original idea in Harry Potter?

My book is a romance, but the overall theme explores our origin.

Why not. The world needs ditch diggers too.

Great, another thing to worry about :)
