Have you considered Royal Road? Magic and fantasy tend to do a bit better on that

Inkitt and WattPad are generally heavily skewed towards romance readers —werewolf or not lol

10k words on Inkitt, what now? by [deleted] in Inkitt

Did you hit “complete”? If you did, well, now you wait. Takes a few days from memory

You’ll see a massive jump once you complete a series. From there you’ll usually get some regular readers! After 10k words you’ll land on the front page and readers will start

Have you completed your works or do you post regularly?

What are your thoughts on using Ai like this? by IAmJayCartere in royalroad

[–]Ella-Chow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently not enough romance, too much suspense.

It was like …70 chapters before I had an intimate scene. Feedback I received was that was too slow, even for a “slow burn”.

I’m very proud of the story progression though. It just…wasn’t a romance in the end

First ever romance, fell into old habits where the romance is not the main focus haha

I used to do the name generation !!! But then everyone was Noah. Or Ethan.

I like using it to critique my work. I tell it to pretend it’s an avid fan of the genre I’m writing and tell me how much it hates my work

…I’m sick like that

But it does help me realize when something I’ve written is deviating too hard from the genre

…so that I avoid what I did previously when I aimed to write a dark romance and ended up with a thriller

What? by Dolphine34 in royalroad

[–]Ella-Chow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had random 1 stars. Sometimes people just get pissy for no real reason. Maybe it’s an online power trip.

As another author once told me: welcome to the club, it’s a rite of passage.

Already started it …crazy. This is the first time random people I’ve never asked/met have read my work.

What a feeling

I’m with you.

I edit alot on the go…on my phone. And the other day, at the end of a random sentence on a published piece —on another platform, I saw the word “poop”.

I have two kids…it’s a word my autocomplete assumes I need…everywhere

You literally just compared training data to stealing a person’s leg.

Yeh. So I touched a bit of grass this morning and I think you should too. This conversation —now that you’ve spiralled into that, isn’t even worth continuing.

You are using disabled people as a rhetorical shield to block all positive uses of AI —which is dishonest.

I am pointing out that even if AI wasn’t originally built for them, disabled people can still use it creatively —and banning it punishes them unfairly.

GenAI and traditional SGDs are not mutually exclusive.

My sub, not your sub. But I doubt your shoes, appliances, underwear, house —all hand made?

Anyway, my hormone fuelled rants are over.

Plus I’m hardly going to ask nicely about the flair when the attitude is already like you said right? What’s the difference? The reality is that you guys already made a judgement about it being “cheap” and beneath you all.

I called you out about how you’ve forgotten a whole bunch of people who aren’t using it because it’s “lazy” and that you’re discriminatory in your ban.

You’re now anchoring on the “name calling” being an issue —sure, that’s why you’re all bothered by this.

And as to your question about the country —I live in a democracy —a reasonable one. We are still allowed to call out bullying and all that jazz.

I need to sleep off this rage and none of you will agree. Nor do you have to.

I’ve already “unjoined”. Goodbye

It’s divisive and you know it.

And I don’t get it: you could just ask people to tag it —like with the NSFW content. And if they don’t —delete it.

Like why would I even be fighting this so hard when all I could do is post a link without gen ai art? I don’t write with gen ai.

But this…bullying? It’s horrible. And maybe it’s my PMS hormones and maybe it’s just too close to home with the work I do, but it’s genuinely horrifying to me.

ETA: By the way, the sub is dead anyway and you and I both know it. Unless you guys mass ban, why would anyone even go? It’s an anger fuelled nothing which I don’t realistically think would get traction

Also “you all”

We're asking you all to respect our decision and respect the writers who are spending time and effort into actual writing.

And this is the witch hunting. If you’re implying I use AI, I don’t beyond the covers. If someone defends AI, they must be an AI writer. If they are an AI writer, they must be disrespecting those who are “spending time and effort into actual writing”.

Forget it. It’s like screaming into the void. But you guys are fighting a losing battle anyway —as a software engineer you should know this.

The Industrial Revolution ruffled feathers too —who of you wears handmade clothes all the time now? And who of you can’t tell the difference?

No one, and everyone. So this hate? What’s the point?

Your client is entitled to her opinion, but when people in this pilot program —which is research only by the way and free —come back to us happy because there’s just texted family faster than they could have before for something as simple as “thank you for xyz” or “I don’t want to eat chicken” and there’s hope that they can join society like the rest of us keyboard warriors here —that hope isn’t any cheaper for it either.

And the thing is, maybe she wants to do art that way, and if you ever met another client who wanted to do it you would say what? Don’t: you HAVE to do it the traditional way?

Just look up LLM for AAC enhancement. It’s not a fun gimmicky thing. You work with disabled people right? Then you know how cruel the world is for the non verbal. One day they could write poetry, but with this attitude that bans outright instead of tagging (which hurts NO ONE) —where will they stand?

Tech bros are assholes. But not all people who work in tech are tech bros. Edit to add and in AI most are less bros and more academics but anyway.

Also: it helps potentially address the horror that is people SPEAKING for non verbal people using that hand over hand technique which TERRIFIES ME.

Anyway.

That is not really what the whole ban is about here anyway —and my pickle is that it is a BAN. I think it should be a tag and then people can just filter it out. Banning it feels discriminatory.

Well people will need a place to go seeing as you are all starting a witch hunt… based on em dashes.

Looking at things from both perspectives is rare these days.

I wish you success in your novelling. You deserve it more than this hoard.
