I don't mean them being intended as one. I've got more of a flexible writing style, where I'm somewhat open about what happens. What's important to me is that the characters make sense in their actions, and act realistically, according to their upbringing, situation, circumstances. For example...

So, when I started out writing, and designing the fantasy world "Ea", where my story plays in, I was taking some of the usual tropes. I got for example orcs and goblins. I designed things so monsters are mutated versions of their usual animal counterparts. Now to what I'm trying to get at...

This might be more of a rant than anything else, but I'd like to talk about reading experiences that truly riled me up (and not in a good way). In both cases, it's simply about the fact that the author made the bad guy without redeemable qualities win. The first traumatized me. Might be said a...

Yeah, a bit of an issue, I'd like to discuss. Well, essentially I'm mostly complaining about my dilemma. I'm going to introduce a character in my long time story (over 150 chapters, doing well) that I personally quite like. Yet I fear there might be a bit of backlash. The raw chapters are...

Hi, like the title says, I'd like to know if someone can recommend me some good zombie progression stories here or on Royal Road. To be precise, stories with a modern world zombie apocalypse where the MC has some way to get stronger aside from their whits and gear. It doesn't necessarily have to...

So it is like this, I recently got reminded of the fact that the intro of my forever story "Slime Girl" kinda sucks. I agree with this, as due to my inexperience back then I was only capable of making a character introduction that was just the character literally introducing themselves and their...

So in my stories, playing in a medieval fantasy world, the world had something like a minor apocalypse through the introduction of magic (it was more advanced before). All kinds of catastrophes, and world-shifting effects. One thing in particular would be that some living beings who got...

I'd like to ask how to post story links in a chapter. I'm not sure if it's possible, but at least in the forum, I saw many examples of people having their story's cover and title below their posts which directly link to their stories. Now I'd like to do the same in a chapter announcement. I...

Would it somehow be possible to create a shared universe link that connects three of my stories (Slime Girl, Formicea, Arachne) to the one a friend of mine is going to post in the near future (Current name Fairytale)? I'd like either a link as an exception or have the groundwork for a feature to...

The title basically says it. In the case, I would make a collaboration with another author and we'd both write different stories that play in the same world, but we'd still like to post them on our own accounts, would it be possible to have a shared world story link on the main page to each...

I don't just mean going with a mobile device in the park without your active chapter shutting down, that much is obvious. I mean that the temporary data can often be enough to reupload the chapter even while being offline. I experimented a little. It doesn't always work, or sometimes the...

I'm not exactly sure what happened. I copied my chapter from Word as usual and edited it so it fits with the SH text formatting. Once I had everything in place I clicked on "saving" and suddenly there was an angry webpage telling me I go blocked from SH for my actions (really I just clicked on...

So, I'm thinking about starting a Patreon page. It's not like I'm in dire need of money, but it seems like a waste not to try at least. The problem is, I'm utterly overwhelmed by this topic. I'm not sure what would be appropriate. I don't want to ask for too much. While I think I could post some...

I use a tablet to read chapters on this site. It's only a minor issue, but there is an empty space to the right where you often drift to while scrolling down and have to reposition. It's a little bit decreasing comfort. I mentioned this before, as there was an add-box reaching there which I...

I usually use a tablet to read on this site. Now I've checked with an Acer and a Trekstore tablet that the upper advertisement on each chapter somehow drifts to the right. This leads to an expanded empty grey space to the right that makes that while scrolling down you often have to readjust to...

I just released two new chapters of my story Formicea (chapter's title "Kyska's Diary"). Because they play a bit before my latest chapter, I decided to put the drafts in the middle (and saved sorting) before pressing publish (with time delay between both), after chapter 17. For some reason, this...

Hope this is the right forum. I have problems with the horizontal line to put a break into the chapters I write. Whenever I click that icon it appears in the draft menu but in the actual chapter it's gone. Recently I found out that the line is visible if you use back background but not on...

Can anyone tell me how to make a line that can divide a chapter? I always make do with underlining empty lines but that's not really the solution I would want.

Would it be possible to create a subterranean tag for stories that take place mostly or completely underground? For example in a dungeon, cave, metro?

I don't know if this is the right place to post this. I am now for quite some time reader on this site. And maybe inspired by this I made a story. Now I've read here quite some posts about that the first story is supposed to be bad, it should be short and after that you start something real or...
