    Historical Fantasy Gripe: 'The Smart MC'

    It's just a different flavor of power fantasy. People like to think of themselves or their society as better. I think it's fine for some writers to fill the fantasy for some readers. Lots of types of fiction are unrealistic and accepted as such. I say let the authors and readers interested in...

    Daily Loss Mega Thread

    Lost another reader to a speed bump chapter today. Maybe I'll post that they didn't leave a 1 star review on their way out in the wins thread. :blob_hmm:

    Looking to read again, but writing is too much fun.

    That's one of the reasons why it took me so long to get started with writing in the first place. My kids are the best, only other people's are crotch goblins.

    Crystal people or Rough skin

    Blasphemy against rocks is fine since it's your story, I'd still pick the crystals. Sparkly jello crystals would make for interesting lewd scenes, and it's different, so it should be fun to read. Good luck with your scenes fellow lewd writer. :blob_salute:

    Looking to read again, but writing is too much fun.

    I keep wanting to read novels again, but I have a couple issues I'd like other authors ideas on. First, I'm having a hard time finding the time to read with all the work I'm doing on my own novel. With planning and then writing it out, I find it hard to use my brain after. I feel like if I read...

    Crystal people or Rough skin

    Rocks are superior, but I agree with the "Why not both" sentiment here. If it can't be both, then always choose rocks over lizards. Squishy crystals do sound like blasphemy though.

    How long chapter is good?

    My chapters have slowly been getting longer since it just feels better to me. I started with 1.5k chapters but now I always have more than 2.1k. I'd say write what you feel comfortable with and what feels natural when reading. It's different for different novels.

    Pointless character drabble or characterization

    I really enjoy writing my cute fluffy chapters. They humanize my characters and give them a break from their frankly horrible lives. My novel has the tragedy tag after all. You can also add fluff to strengthen the bond between your characters, making their decisions later have more impact...

    Thanks, my novel hasn't been nuked from orbit by new 1 star ratings, so I decided it was a good thing. :blob_highfive:

    Intelligent cave creature.

    Well it's fun to make new creatures and it's all about what you want in your story. I tried recreating it using ai, so I'm probably going to have nightmares tonight, but this is the best I could get in a short time.

    Daily Wins Mega Thread

    Yeah, but trending is weird and I don't have more new views or readers than other people who could have the spot. The potential readers are nice, but I also have to worry about my rating dropping since it's an adult novel with the tragedy tag. We'll see how it goes, and if it ends up having more...

    Daily Wins Mega Thread

    Got back to my normal upload schedule after some issues with numbers. Math is hard and I almost regret adding numbers to my story.:blob_catflip: It's fine now though, so a win. :blob_melt:

    I just began posting my work. I got like 50 new page views this week, but zero reviews. Is this normal?

    A lot of readers have to manually update what chapter they're on and just don't know that. You'll see a few people on these forums asking why their chapter number isn't updating. So it's probably just that and people marking your story for later. I only have two reviews myself, so I think it's...

    Need advice on how to make a smut society from smut writers

    In my novel the races with easier pregnancy and child rearing are more open with their sexual activities. Even with that, sex just isn't as appealing or pleasurable to some people, and you can show how it can develop into a sort of social obligation. Think going hiking or clubbing with your...

    What are the benefits & problems with a main character with luck based abilities?

    It can work. Just remember to give yourself some space to decide. I feel like you might corner your story too much if all the outcomes are a coin flip. Remember, readers can get pretty upset if your main character comes up tails too many times in a row.

    Ever think you wrote something but go back to look for it and find out you didn't?

    Sleepwriting, but nobody ever told you about it because they just assumed you were awake. :blob_sleep:

    To change update schedule on cover page of story

    It averages your uploads over the last month. So if you just started you'll have to wait.

    Ever think you wrote something but go back to look for it and find out you didn't?

    Not with my writing since I haven't been uploading long, but it's something I expect to happen because I do it with speaking to people.

    Looking good. If I had spare cash I'd be able to do more than just wish you luck.:blob_paint:

    In need of a quick feedback on an idea

    I like the idea since it's established knowledge in your setting. I'd read those extra things, but people can always skip them if they don't. I hope writing your new story is fun. :blob_paint:
