Made second place once and never again :ROFLMAO:. My numbers grow consistently, but there has never been any big boost (except for the day on the trending), so no idea what got me there in the first place.

The more people you swap with, the more reach your story has. Literally no down side. Also it can be an investment. If your story somehow blows up, then they'll benefit too.

I've been on FFN for too long. When I see the name 'Evelyn', I instantly think they're a scammer. :sweating_profusely: Still haven't got any here though, lucky me.

yeah that's the intended effect of that memory. The world in that story is quite fucked up.

I might be dim, but 'his thighs still hurt' didn't connect me to SA. I would have thought that he was beaten or something if it wasn't for the title. But yes, I think it can be done in a more tasteful way than physical effect of the fact. Like in Tsukihime, a SA girl was described (in a memory)...

What if I have one original and one fanfic? :blob_hmm:

By this definition, OP's first chapter isn't even 'softboiled'. Read like the start of a slice of life smut comedy piece.

A nice piece of action with a little thriller, but not scary. Though this might just be me. Imo the 'horror' comes from the unknown and unseen. A 'horror' that you could see and converse with normally and disposed of easily isn't a horror. I'd be scared if I was Aegis in that situation, but...

I didn't say there isn't any editor here though :blob_hmm: . I said that no editor would write a forum post full of spelling errors like OP did.

Read your only other post on this forum. I don't think any 'seasoned editor', or just normal editor, would write like that. Sorry if I'm wrong but it just doesn't instill any confidence.

I go case by case, based on whether I feel their comment is valid or not. I have a reader that can't seem to agree with many things my protagonist was doing (still, they stuck with the story despite the disagreement, so I'm grateful). Even so, I only changed the story when I feel like he had a...

It's related to that, so I can post my schedule on my blurb, but I didn't think of an universal 'best time'. I was just trying to find a good time for myself.

Which timezone does SH use?

It was already quite suspicious when 2 of them popped up in the same hour, and both are new accounts.

I see. I might consider changing it if I can free up some time, but for now I think 3 is enough. How many chapter did you have before you opened your patreon, if I may ask? I had like 10 chapters in the backlog but one busy week and I burned through them (when I tried doing once per day)...

I don't have a Patreon yet, but what is Patreon stretch goals? :blob_hmm:

Let's say the goal is to attract more readers. I know that posting once or twice per day is best, but I don't have time to do that. I have other works that involve writing, and when I tried to post once per day, I got burnt out. So maybe 3 times a week is good. But can it just be 3 times a...

I'm sorry but I don't think I have any suggestion to give. I didn't do anything out of ordinary. Added some smut, posted the first 5 chapter with an hour or two in between each post, then one chapter per day for the next 10. Now I'm down to 2 chapters per week. No advertising or shoutout or the...

I just assumed that he had another contracted work, though in that case you can just drop the 'failed' one and keep the contracted one.

I was thinking that I saw someone who collects 1-star the other day, and you appeared :blob_hmm:. Thank you. I'll try not to. I suppose you just get used to it over time. I think that it'd be better if you can only rate a story after reading a certain number of chapters though.
