    Writing Fictional race/ethnicities in story vs real-life counterparts

    Hi, apologies if this is too much of a sensitive subject for some, but I'm asking this as a writer. So the question: Is there a particular way to write and discuss fictional/fantasy race, ethnicities, and cultures in novels? I also ask on the basis of the sensitivity on the subject in mind — I...

    Which "app" do you use to write(and save your chapters, etc)?

    Obsidian looks cool! I might give it a go tbh. Although, after hearing that you have lost your work through there, it is making me second-guess on using it now. I'm really sorry to hear that ): Any hints as to what could have been the issue that caused you to lose all your work? But to answer...

    My web-novel's outreach has suddenly stopped?

    Thank you so much for your insights and experiences on these yuo three! I honestly really do appreciate it a lot! Time to just keep writing away!

    Readers are Hiding From Authors

    Why is it always the authors that are desperate for numbers and artificial(?) engagement that ruin it for the rest of us Why does it tend to be the writers that are desperate for engagement that will ruin it for the rest of us 😒😒

    Writing Multiple POV vs. Single POV: Which fiction do you prefer to read as a reader, and which fiction do you prefer to write as an author?

    I don't have a preference for either POVs when I am reading as it all depends on the book/story. For example: if the book is about a character where I get super interested in their life, habits, and thoughts etc.then I love reading it where it is centred around the character's POV. Whereas, if...

    My web-novel's outreach has suddenly stopped?

    Thanks for giving me your insight Juia! Yeah, I wasn't sure what was going on, it was very weird that that chapter had such strange outreach when I published it. But glad to hear that it isn't out of the ordinary. And it looks like it has levelled out and returned to normal, so maybe I was just...

    My web-novel's outreach has suddenly stopped?

    This is really good to know. Just so strange that it's taken such a big hit when I have got quite a consistent rhythm of when I publish new chapters. And of course, like you mentioned, readers will remove from their list or delete their accounts—nothing I can do about that. I guess there's...

    My web-novel's outreach has suddenly stopped?

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if anybody else is getting weird statistics or unusual view/outreach in the past 24/48hrs? I have recently published a new chapter and for some reason I'm not getting any outreach at all that would normally happen after each new chapter being published. I have...

    Writing How to control "deviations" from your overall plot? (without deceiving readers)

    It's just one of those things where I don't want to be known as a writer that clickbaits readers into reading my work due to incorrect or irrelevant tags. Something I would hate to do lmao. Haha don't worry, that has happened a couple of times in the novel and I have used it a fair bit for plot...

    Writing How to control "deviations" from your overall plot? (without deceiving readers)

    As of at the moment, the next chapter that I am going to be publishing will pretty much be where the sex scene is. No fade-to-black in this one, but I will be keeping a version like that as backup. I'm almost 30 chapters deep already, and a few of the arcs have been quite slow, so I will just...

    Well, I might start posting here after all.

    I think it is when you get a group of mates together to play instruments and sing your favourite songs 🤔

    How long should the story and chapters be?

    When I first started writing my web-novel, I was averaging 5000 words per chapter. After a massive revision, I found that with my story, prose, and pacing my sweet-spot is around 1500 - 2000 words. But, in saying that; you may find your own niche of readers that may actually prefer your 5000...

    Writing How to control "deviations" from your overall plot? (without deceiving readers)

    Don't worry, I plan alright. If anything, I might even over-plan which is probably what's making me overthink 😂

    How to move forward?

    If you are demotivated by the interactions that you have on your book, then maybe I should just give up writing. (in case my sarcasm doesn't carry over through my comment) You are doing great. Just keep doing what you are doing and publish your chapters consistently and you'll be fine.

    Writing How to control "deviations" from your overall plot? (without deceiving readers)

    Hmm...this may sound like quite a silly question, (please understand this from an author's perspective, I don't want to be misunderstood) but do you think that a would somewhat count as an explicit scene? I don't remember exactly where I mentioned it, but that initial scene is important for one...

    cover images

    You make a fair point, I have always wondered about that too. Even when it comes to uploading it, image needs to be less than 2MB in file size. I have had to compress both my cover images whenever I upload it onto Scribble Hub. But idk, it's possible that it's just a limitation of the website.

    Show me your retcon skills.

    I love that, and I love that you were able to experience that. Hoping maybe one of these days I can come across that experience for myself too. :) Have you ever considered doing a spin-off series or maybe even a different series for this character? Would be interesting to see how else they may...

    Show me your retcon skills.

    ooh im curious to know more about this, though! What could have been the reason why readers would mistake it for a retcon? Was it the structuring? i wish I had the patience and ability to do what you do T_T One of these days I will probably write a fanfic...and it will probably be terrible 😂...

    Show me your retcon skills.

    omg, the eye situation almost happened to me too. It was actually soo close to it being published with one of my characters changing their eye-colour halfway through the story because I forgot lol Ah, the classic "task failed successfully" situation haha do you keep a notepad or a google drive...

    Show me your retcon skills.

    Okay, it finally happened. I had to retcon something over the silliest reason (one of my characters fired a bow but like, where did she get the bow from? 🤔) Now I want to hear the silliest or oddest reason that you have had to retcon something in your novel.
