    Chapter likes... and you (want some?)

    I see by recent activity that it has begun. Ah well, c'est la vie. Enjoy your 'likes' guys.

    Chapter likes... and you (want some?)

    I realize I am about to foolishly provide 'reasons' once more, but here goes. As an author on the site I find all this talk just silly. It reminds me of participation ribbons or Stuart Smalley staring into his mirror saying "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me."...

    I don't like this idea because reasons.

    "Story of the month" and "Story of the year"

    In my opinion a year is too long. Three whole segments of the front page rarely change as is. I wouldn't like another spot sitting static for a whole year. I admit it is good for newcomers, but it gets stale for us regular visitors. I don't mind the poll idea on its face, though I worry it...

    Why can't you rate your own chapters?

    I am surprised there is such a divide over this issue. To me giving myself a like would feel utterly hollow and meaningless. I simply can't see the point of it or the value in it. It would also "reward" those with tons of short chapters that can be cranked out in 2 minutes a pop. As it...

    Why can't you rate your own chapters?

    Speaking for myself, I like the change. I never understood the point in liking your own stuff.

    Change "Notable Writers" Section

    I like the Veteran badge but I have to agree with so few awards to get it makes each one way more important. I'd love to see more awards. Not a crazy amount, but more. Also I really have to agree with anything that adds some variety to the front page. The Top Stories, Top Chapters, and...

    Because I can identify with this problem so much! Not enough hours in the day.

    Real princess sucked into sexual fairytale or medieval world

    You could probably have a lot of fun in her not having any clue about the land or creatures. For example, she might not know that Satyr's are horny little buggers making her easy pickings to be tricked or taken by them. Of course the reader would know and would see where the encounter was...

    Releasing Chapters: Playing the front page game

    Personally I like to release chapters as I write them. Sometimes if I go on a tear that means four or five chapters at a go, but usually it ends up being a drip feed of single chapters as I tend write in short intense bursts. My preference is releasing multiple chapters at once so that the...

    Minimum to Launch

    I like Liz's idea of some sort of minimum word count before publishing. It can even be spread out over all chapters combined instead of just the intro. At least there will be some sort of substance there.

    Post Mortem your stories... what did well, what didn't?

    Not a post mortem as I am actively still working on my story, but over the past month I've had a few observations from the perspective of a newbie that I thought I'd share. Mistaken Identity I am mainly talking about my main Mob Boss storyline with these comments. Worked: The characters...

    Dark Lord: How much sex a story should have?

    The more I write on here the more I find that just stringing sex scene on top of sex scene is unsustainable. And frankly, for me, a bit boring. Of course it depends the scope of the story and what kind of story it is. There is definitely a place for all action all the time stories. Right now...

    Ideal Chapter Length

    Hey all. Grimbous is the name. I rediscovered this site a few weeks back and I've been hooked ever since. I'm spending way too much of my free time on here. lol I haven't written this much in years! Some question I thought I'd throw out there to the community. What do you feel is the...

    The Value of a Good Image

    Sorry for resurrecting an old topic but I just became active on this site a couple of weeks ago. The more I look around the site the more I've been thinking about this topic. On one hand a great picture really grabs the attention; a picture is worth a thousand words. On the other hand the...

    Minimum to Launch

    It was quite the epic. I'll try to sum it up: "The" I had to admit, the author certainly had a way with word.

    Minimum to Launch

    Yeah, I've noticed this. It's a bit baffling to me. There are quite a few of them and some of them are really short, just a quick premise. All I can think is that they are starting a particular type of story that they want to read about but don't actually want to write, hoping someone will...
