If you can travel by car, you can steal a car.

Don't fall for it, Dickman. As an experienced time traveler, JohnTitor45 knows perfectly well how Time Theft works-- she's just probing for weaknesses before she makes her big play!

Make a story and add some sex to it, not the other way around.

I've got a new one! When you type a long forum reply and then decide not to click "Post Reply," there's no obvious way to get rid of the saved draft of your really long post. Don't get me wrong, this feature is fantastic for preventing accidental deletions, but what about when we change our...

Don't label the manic pixie dream-girl! She can be whatever she wants! But don't worry, she's not a Mary Sue, she still goes through lots of trials and tribulations in the course of the story. Hooking up with a nerdy photographer, for instance. That's the kind of over-the-top psychological...

I don't always make up my own characters. But when I do, their names are shitty anagrams. Such as Fleur Gramuro, or Anny Torpedoes!

"You could wrap the comment you're replying to in quotation marks. After all, that's how forum replying works, just with BBcode instead of quotation marks, so the quoted section gets highlighted. The only functional difference is that the quoted user will be pinged if the 'reply' button is used...

I had a reply written out that read like a Ryan George sketch, but then I realized Iam_DickMan didn't do anything to deserve that level of snark. He probably just wants to reply to a backlog of Chapter Comments without everybody getting confused as it who he's responding to. In a perfect...

Reading that long list of names made me realize that, on this site, specifically, you could probably get away with just classifying the story as Celebrity.

Strive to write at least one chapter a day. Release when you reach a narrative stopping point if you want max Likes. (People read to the end, get a satisfying conclusion, and click Like.) Release every day if you want to reach as many new readers as possible (More releases mean more trips to...

I don't remember the details, but probably. The workaround is to always google a name after you come up with it. If the top search results are all some rando's blog, you're probably fine. If it's a celebrity gossip column, a news article, or someone else's fictional character, come up with a...

Gee, if only somebody knew how to spring it on them like some sort of... how did Gina put it? Ah, yes... Oh, you mean like your well-established taste for... (checks Gambio's history; suddenly realizes Gambio has liked every chapter they've ever read) ...security-through-obscurity? Fuck me...

I got the barebones Critical Path written up for S&M's ENP. (dat abbrev tho!) This comprises a Stanley Route and a Mariella Route, both of which Unfortunately, there's very little sex or meta-commentary, so far, which by my reckoning are the piece's two main sources of appeal in a horny twist...

Seriously. We have all the tools we need in order to not only arouse them both in the same story, but possibly even in the same scene.

Absurdist? Oh, dear. I was just going to write a bunch of rapey workplace safety violations and maybe some Mind Control shenanigans. But I suppose if you insist...

Pffft. You call that a grail? It barely aged me five, ten years, tops. I think we can do better, as a community of terrible writers.

“'Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.' How does this famous quote apply here?” "It teaches us that if we always focus on the bad stuff, it'll turn us into the kind of depressed loners who go around quoting Nietzsche...

No no no no NONONONONO!!

Eh, we all make mistakes. For example, one time I tried to flirt with an Irish woman on the internet. Can you imagine? (Sigh.) Those were simpler times.
