        The 5 exclamation marks thing is a quote from a Terry Pratchett novel. I think he referenced it later in other books as well by specifically having insane characters use 5 exclamation marks in their writing or speech.

      Is the opposite of a backhanded compliment a frontlegged insult?
      1. insertnamehere

        Frontfooted, which isn't really an established English word, but has seen use to mean something like "proactive", as in putting one foot in front of the other and moving forward.

        No. Opposite of backhand would be straightforward. So it would be straightforward insult. Or: in your face, frontal, face-smacked, headbutt insult.

        'Frontlegged' made me laugh :)

        Chapters require work. And when you omit them, they tend to hang over your head, tormenting you...

        How many porns will we write, before we realise, that we will never write this one chapter!?

        I do get plenty of favorites, but bookmarks are mostly for the latest chapter, so they get notified when a new chapter launches

        My newest currently sits at five bookmarks and two likes and I'm just goddamnit XD

        Part of the reason why I've turned off Bookmarks from my notifications. People barely do anything with them and it doesn't help with my ego/drive to continue writing - plus it's not visible to other readers, which doesn't motivate them to click on the upvote button.

      What is it that compels authors to not use paragraphs? Where they born like that or did they slowly develop a taste for walls of text?

        If by paragraph you mean more breaks? I find that it might be that they are more mobile readers. I found when writing for Kindle that when I had more breaks, I got better reviews and more reads. I think it's just how people developed to read on their phones more. 10 years ago it was mainly computers, now we got tablets and phones, and well only so much text. That's my only guess?

        The word refers to a conflict between story and gameplay, or more broadly, story and mechanics, or maybe author agency and consumer agency. That distinction doesn't really exist in other forms of art: as a consumer, you can't influence a painting, or a piece of music.
        It depends a little on the context, but the closest similar phenomenon I can think of is the uncanny valley, which crops up on all kinds of places.
