Constructive criticism has two key elements: 1) It's not personal, the criticism is limited to the work being discussed. It doesn't have to be positive ("I love your work, but...") but it should not be negative ("This writing sucks."). This may be as simple as making the work itself the subject...

I suggest you treat it like a drive somewhere - longer chapters in the straightaways, shorter chapters when you approach an intersection. But that is my personal preference.

Shorter chapters are better if you want others to possibly join the story, as it gives them more jumping off points. As a reader/writer I tend to prefer longer chapters because, unless there's a decision point, it breaks up the flow of the scene Imo.

Don't you dare. Don't you dare introduce a seemingly friendly and supportive female character with ulterior motives who pushes our unsuspecting heroine deeper and deeper into depravity. I just couldn't take it.

Ana Marie just seems like exactly the supportive friend nicole needs, I can see why she'd draw votes.

I agree. I have a lot of unpublished stuff that wasn't worth the effort to clean up and post. But it is still a reservoir of ideas and scenes that I have repurposed over time.

I take it to mean write in the style that you want. If you prefer to tell your stories in the form of long purple prose descriptions, do it. If you prefer hyper-detailed Tom Clancy-esque psuedorealism, do it. If you like to have Kevin Smith style "People sit around for hours just talking"...

"Gamer? I hardly know 'er!"

The garter toss awards the receiver prima nocta.

He made some images for my branch of The Virgin Games and I was pretty flattered, ngl. Not my story so no real chance of using as the title image, but it was an ego boost.

There was a conversation on one of the threads about the pros and cons of AI writing, and then we are immediately brigaded by bots. Coincidence? I think not.

I tend to hand out likes as if they were candy. It doesn't cost me anything and Gambio is right, sometimes it can kill a story not to get any. Sometimes I go the extra mile and DM, because that's caused some writers to revive dormant threads and who doesn't want that? More smut!
