    To Prologue or Not to Prologue

    Just thinking of my most recent experience of the prologue which was reading the Wheel of Time. I was trying to invest, remember the character names and new terms being introduced. And then you have to reset and do it all again when the main story starts. So for me it feels a bit frustrating...

    How do you get into the trending tab

    So my story got to #29 on the trending list the other day! - lots of new views and readers out of nowhere. It’s been 2 weeks since I posted a chapter. Plus, no sex! So don’t know what’s been going on!

    Not sure what happened or why... but thanks!

    Yes I checked, nothing out of the ordinary.

    How much do you justify to your readers?

    If people are calling something out in my story I try to think about where they are coming from and whether or not they have a point. Here’s the full range of my responses to date: I had multiple people misinterpret a character’s motives early on in my story. So I went back and fixed it...

    Not sure what happened or why... but thanks!

    I’ve had an unexplained spike today too, the other spikes are my posting days. Maybe someone shared it, or it ended up in a list somewhere.

    Question for authors using AI-assisted workflows

    I may be wrong but I think there’s probably two main reasons why people dislike AI use in creative writing. 1) People don’t want to read AI slop, they want to know this has come from someone with a soul and an artistic intent. 2). Moral objection - The environment and social implications of...

    I’m done with Fictionmania

    So for the uninitiated - Fictionmania is pretty much as old as the internet itself. It was the OG site for gender transformation and body swap fiction. It was one of a handful of sites where you could actually read and publish stories of this genre back in its day. So it’s important in that...

    What Good Thing Happened Today?

    It’s May Day bank holiday here in the UK so a welcome long weekend. I finished my chapter 3 re-write and had fun with the dogs.

    I’m done with Fictionmania

    Yes that was quite amusing, I abandoned a story and it was suggested I was dead! 😭 Me and FM go way back and it was the first time I discovered there were people into the things I was into, so I’ll always owe it for that. But it’s not 2002 anymore and there’s better places to be putting my...

    I’m done with Fictionmania

    I’ve been cross-posting my current story to Fictionmania and some other TG transformation sites. I’ve decided to pull the story from FM. I don’t know what’s going on but it’s like the reviewers there are reading a different story. I think about this story morning and night, I desperately...

    Editing Revising Chapter 1 while webnovel is live?

    I’m revising Chapter 2 at the moment, mostly trying to adjust one of the characters, so they are more consistent with how I’m writing them now. However in the process I’ve messed up the other main character! So doing another pass now…

    Anyone else struggle to write romance

    A bit different, but I have been writing an established married couple, which needs a romantic familiarity to be established. The things that have worked for me: - Lots of smiling at each other - Physical touch. Touching an arm, cupping face, kiss on the cheek. - Teasing. They know each...

    How long are your first chapters?

    My first chapter is about 3,500 compared to a regular chapter of 5,500-6,000. This was accidental really as each of my chapters represent a whole day, with the first chapter starting in the evening. But in retrospect it works as a hook. A narrative bomb has just gone off in my story, so I’m...

    Long explannations vs Fragmented sentences Need help

    I had to google what LN was... As a stylistic choice I don't think it's a problem, if that's the way you want to go. You're the artist. From your excerpt, my mind happily filled in the blanks and I could visualise your scene so... But I can totally understand there will be people who won't...

    RoyalRoad vs Scribble Hub

    I never got my story onto RR, after disagreeing with their moderator on "sexual content". There's nudity and dressing in my story, but its rarely sexualised or eroticised as written. It's up to the reader to bring that to it themselves (which they will as a TG/TF fan). But nudity is a step...

    Did anyone cringe after looking back their early chapters?

    Not cringe, but I have had to iron out the tone of some of my character interactions in the earlier chapters, after I settled more into how I wanted them to be as the chapters went on.

    What is the premise of your fiction in the form of a thesis question?

    I asked Claude AI what it thought my thesis would be and it came up with: The Practical Alibi: Accidental Feminisation and the Economy of Care in A Turn of the Moon
