    I'm just mad

    I feel like I am still missing some context here. Because as is, you sound like a person with no empathy here. As is, it could be just bad writing. Or the MC is a simp for pretty ladies. Or you are not well-adjusted. As Corty said, some people can put aside their egos. I find the series of...

    =] LOTQ Writing Contest [=

    personal stuff, which I don't know if I can mention in forums. Cynthell has been around, but I haven't reached out besides one time, since I felt it would be unfair to do so since I am a contestant.

    :blob_melt:I wonder if I made Cynthell suffer with mine.

    What makes a reader click on your story?

    :blob_melt: I sacrifice a goat for every click I get. It works - guaranteed!

    Should I Create Separate Accounts for Different Types of Writing?

    Someone asked me if I would make another account when I started to write smut with sadist MC. The reasoning was, I had just one story at the time - a serious GL fantasy. The question was whether or not the audiences would mix and result in a negative impact on my stats. I decided to post on...

    How to improve as an author?

    Well, for one... your synopsis are not very good. I cant comment on the stories themself, but you wont get clicks with blurbs like these. They are too dry and full of information the potential reader wont care about. You are explaining worlds and things in them, but readers wont care about it...

    Force authors to use proper aspect ratio on their covers

    :blobsip: I did that on purpose for one of my stories just to see if the readers would care... The answer was disappointing.

    This you? No periods and sentences don't start with capital letters. Seems very egregious to me.

    dead thk

    Well, for one, how about you using proper punctuation and capital letters in your text? Running the text through 'Grammarly' or similar would suffice. At this point, if you don't care about the most basic mistakes, why would any reader try to pick up your story? Apart from this, adding more...

    :blob_melt:Welp. There it is. Mine went live as well. Good luck to those who are still writing.

    =] LOTQ Writing Contest [=

    I don't think that is a mistake at all. Having a short story means the author has to make a good start, middle and end. They have to land them all. It means you can better judge the author's skill. If the author chooses to continue with the concept, they can do it afterwards.

    Tell me your thoughts on my story so far.

    hmm... The spacing is an issue, but as someone who didn't notice it for the longest time... People don't actually care, from what I can tell. I only started correcting it in the recent chapters. Most of my story was posted with double spacing and people still clicked the story.

    Question regarding contests

    Cynthell ran out of certain kink smut to read. Cynthell is now funding contests to get more. Don't ask for the themes Cynthell will want.

    Just got my first one star rating

    Congratulations! ... I guess? Someone gave me a one-star rating when I started posting my work. I remember being very peeved, going to the SH Discord server and asking if it was a normal thing. The rating ended up being removed a month or two later. It turned out to be someone who gave everyone...

    First 3 Chapter Feedback

    :blob_shock:Three chapters! That's so much! Good luck. Don't lose your mind. And remember to catch some sleep in between consuming all the written word.

    Questions for people who are giving feedback

    When did you decide you are good enough to give feedback? Is there a threshold you think a person should reach before they give feedback? If there is, what is the threshold? I am usually hanging around on the SH Discord server. Sometimes people come and ask for feedback and suggestions and I...

    I just realized about writing a fighting scene

    Sure. Once you establish who the paragraph is about, you can use 'she/her'. But the other mistake in that paragraph is much more serious. While there can be exceptions, never have two persons speak in the same paragraph.

    I just realized about writing a fighting scene

    I'll be honest - it's not just the fighting scene that needs work, it's how you write. This whole thing needs a rework. For example - 'Character said' is a lazy way to write dialogue. The word 'said' conveys nothing. They are in a fight, but they speak with no emotions, expressions, or actions...

    Writing Not sure if I planned far enough

    Wow. You have planned more than I ever did for my stories! Great job! Honestly, for a pantser, this is plenty. If you are confident in bullshiting your story forward, start writing. Often writing is better than being stuck in an endless loop of planning. I know a few people who always plan and...
