    Can another author explain to me why so many stories don't use paragraphs?

    Lately, I've been seeing a huge influx in stories where every single sentence is a new line. No paragraphs, and usually no dialog tags. Is it just that even native speakers are getting worse at English? Like, as someone in the education system, I know that basically every student (save those...

    The Layman's Understanding of AI's Value is so Horrifically Bad

    Rant- Let me open this by saying, LLMs are useful. AI in general has the ability to be as revolutionary as the internet and the industrial revolution. From AI art to research, the value is akin the invention of power tools, photoshop, the steam engine and other such revolutionary tools. Now...

    How many of you actually manually use em-dashes?

    In an AI discussion thread, there were quite a few people who said they use em-dashes. In some places, like google docs, if you double hyphen (--) it will replace with an em-dash. However, in the forum editor, for example, it will not. First off, this implies that some people who are making...

    PSA: Stop Asking if People Would be Interested in a Story

    Lately, there has been an influx of people asking, "Would you be interested in reading this?" or "How interesting is my story idea?" Not only is this a plague upon the forums, but it's bad for those who ask the question for multiple reasons, which I will enumerate now: 1. Forums, even reader...

    Should the prohibited content rules for Scribblehub be ammended to include Illegal Monetization?

    After @SailusGebel brought it to the attention of the community that a MAJORITY of fanfictions in trending are illegally monetizing their stories, I think it's worth considering whether or not stories that are breaking copyright laws should be classified as prohibited content.

    On Intelligent/Genius Characters

    Hello everyone. It's been awhile since I've posted a thread. Today, I'm going to be taking a deeper look at the portrayal of intelligent and genius characters because I've noticed something I can't unsee, and it bothers me. I won't be talking about Social IQ in this, though there are plenty...

    Target Audience, Cult Followings, and the Problem in Mainstream Entertainment

    So today, I received a 1-star review here on scribblehub. While it bothers me at the monkey brain level of my brain, fundamentally I'm not concerned too much by it. The person had a fairly well thought out commentary. What it did for me, however, was gather my thoughts around "Target...

    Crappy Superpower Thread

    The practical superpower thread by @HelloHound reminded me of an old game I'd play with college friends while we'd sit down. The S***** Superpowers game, where we just sat around and came up with less and less useful superpowers, while still having them be superhuman. Then, of course, MHA came...

    AI tips and tricks thread

    While I find myself in the airport waiting to board my plane, I thought to pass the time by passing on some tips and tricks to generating AI art. I'm going to separate this out into two sections, website generation, and own pc generation. Own pc generation assumes you already have things set...

On one hand, yay, back on first page of trending, but sadness at front page being just being outside your grasp. Grateful to all my readers who...

    Do you write with distractions going on?

    Hey everyone, just always wondering, what do other people do while they write? I personally mostly write with music without lyrics, or in languages I don't understand, because if there are lyrics I do understand, it interrupts my thought flow. Something about having the music going helps me...
