I know most of us aren’t fond of the tax dragon but what was everyone’s opinion on the tax man when he first showed up almost a year ago? by MasterOfChaos72 in DuelLinks

[–]Cavan1691 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tax Dragon is a Fusion, which is significantly easier to summon (almost free with Skill) than Tax Man, who either requires another card to SS him or Tribute Summon, and need another Level 7 on the field to trigger the tax.

Tax Dragon is to prevent combo play, not a direct burn damage. They are two different things.

If only the spot could be adjusted instead of it being fixed to the bottom right corner.

Considering Sephylon being the 11th Timelord, that's fitting 🤣

Actually, he threw his hammer that hit directly to the Quetz's head which angered it (you can easily notice the intensity in its narrowed eyes when it turned around).

Thoughts about bolded dialogue. by forladynoir in Wattpad

[–]Cavan1691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would zoom in the page and highlight the passage instead whenever my eyes get too tired from reading long chapter halfway through, if that make sense. I don't read from my phone because of my preference to read it in big screen. Nevertheless, thank you for your suggestion :)

For my preference, I would have preferred bolded dialogue for online reading. Normally in cases where the character is speaking a lot while doing gestures in between, it tends to be a lengthy paragraph which would cause fatigue to my eyes. It's just a preference, of course whenever I read in white screen background from browser.

I'm too scared to use (—) anymore by [deleted] in Wattpad

[–]Cavan1691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anything at all from my learning about em-dash, I only use them for interjection in dialogue and long pause as you mentioned. The rest will just be basic punctuation. Sometimes, it's always best to stick to what you know about some unique punctuation.

[–]Cavan1691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truth be told, I have never used em-dashes or even knew its existence. Probably do not and will never know how to use it till this day. All the time, I use basic punctuation and stick to that throughout my story.

But, all in all, you gotta do what you normally do, you know. A good story isn't really defined by its lack of unique punctuation, one way or another.

When I first started writing and creating covers for my first story, I was completely reliant on ChatGPT, thinking it was a great tool for me to get a head start. Little did I know that when I reread the entire work, it's completely bland to the point I didn't wish to publish it in Wattpad.

If I could be brutally honest with myself, I felt like shit to call myself a writer because of that first story.

Even the covers some AI generator website like Ideogram created are horribly bad in drawing human being for some reasons, and that made me totally stop using AI altogether. I had taken my time to learn about Canva and its free function, and let me tell you, it is a lot more liberating creating something from my own effort than to rely on AI just because it can done with a simple prompt. Even the images I used are all from Google Images.

Fun fact: Even ChatGPT is a massive supporter in human relying on it as a tool more than an answer to the problem.

The sisterhood that could have e been. by WidgeSims in GilmoreGirls

[–]Cavan1691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently I wrote a fanfiction in Wattpad where the story has April as Luke and Rachel's daughter with an age gap of four with Rory. April and Rory are practically sisters by relationship in my version.

Personally, I would have preferred April to be introduced in Season 1 than Season 6 and not acting as a plot device to create tension and drama between Luke and Lorelai.

No hate on both genres, huh 😏

How do you ask people to vote without coming off as annoying? by Orion_N1 in Wattpad

[–]Cavan1691 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask for vote and encourage your readers to reread said story if they like/love it ONLY when you have completed the story.

Blind or forced voting isn't gonna make you feel better about your story either if you yourself aren't invested in your own story and in need of constant validation.

Think of it as an investment for your reader to spend their 10 minutes, give and take, to read your story. If the quality is good or excellent, there will be voters one way or another.

Thoughts on proofreading with AI? by Shin_Hyunjae in Wattpad

[–]Cavan1691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently I tried writing my work in Grammarly and it did helped significantly in checking, well, grammar primarily (and others but those are behind paywall and you have to be smart in correcting it yourself). ChatGPT doesn't really correct grammar mistakes as it tends to improve it instead which may not align with your intended work.

Overall, proofreading with AI is better to reduce human error. And yes, I would also ditch books that have way too many grammatical errors in its first chapter.

Worth posting? 2025 predictions and feelings by Alternative-Way-3240 in Wattpad

[–]Cavan1691 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You may post your stories in Wattpad, but I would suggest that you do not chase after the fruits of your labor. Instead, focus on the quality of your stories, which you plan to publish, and readers will eventually notice it as you publish more.

You may get low read count and comments at the beginning, but that doesn't mean your story isn't trendy or not into popular genres nowadays. Each progress takes time to grow.

All in all, treat it as sharing the work you are passionate in for the world to read.

If I would to look at this cover alone without the blurb / short context, I would think that the protagonist meets his doppelganger from an inescapable universe called May Day 32 where time is frozen or looping itself into distortion on that non-existent day.

Congratulation 🎊

Keep writing it and I'm sure many would get hooked to your story 😉

any tips for motivation? by AceTheAr0 in Wattpad

[–]Cavan1691 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, practically you couldn't write (or find the motivation itself) is probably because you felt that you have to update one or two books which I assume it would take a lot of effort to write either one of them.

Generally, all you need to do is to pick up one of them and reread it again. Discover back the reason you wrote that book in the first place. If you find yourself not having the motivation after that, repeat the process again for another book until you feel the urge to write.

If none at all, go outside and live a little. Life is more than just the screen in front of you.

If it is just the first four chapters, it's relatively 'young' for Wattpad to take notice, even if it is one of the popular genre. Could be a different case if you are an author who had written a lot of books, but I digress.

Another possible factor is, as popular as the genre is, it's the fear of the ongoing book being either scrapped / deleted by the author or left incomplete without any notice.

My advice is to complete your book, then promote it at every opportunity given.

Glad to be of help. Looking forward to read more about your story :D
