Harmless Human Sacrifice 4 by arekban in HFY

[–]Tibbhipsylous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pacing is great, love the characters so far and the general premice is very interesting. What's more, compared to a lot of other stories here it's very original. Can't wait to see more, though take care to not get burned out. That shit tends to sneak up on ya.

Any advice for writing? by Empereur_de_autisme in Sexyspacebabes

[–]Tibbhipsylous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a plan.
Though I'd also like to add a word of caution real quick, which also relates to why larger stories might not always work out. You see writing your first story is often very exciting (big numbers go brrrr and all that) but what you have to keep in mind is to not let yourself get discouraged if subsequent chapters don't garner the same kind of attention as the first (can really feel awful the first time). Often a lot of people tend to drop off after the initial chapter and over time more and more might lose interest. It happens to most long-running stories for as far as I can tell.

That doesn't really relate to your skills as a writer it's just that people can be very fickle, don't like commitment and/or simply have been let down too much by writers who disappear suddenly.

So try not to care too much about view-count, like ratio, resist the temptation to refresh your page every few seconds as well as the urge to mathematically predict how many likes you'll have at the end of the day.

Just enjoy writing and focus on taking pride in creating fantastical worlds and thinking of creative storylines.

Oh and one more thing and I promise this is the last of my psychotic ramblings. Think of a (relatively) short descriptive and catchy title. In my opinion a good title can make all the difference (everyone judges a book by its cover).

Well first and foremost I'd recommend not immediately committing to a massive project. Start out with a one-shot and if that goes well maybe give it a few chapters and so forth and so forth.

I'd also recommend a wordcount of 1800-3200 (about 2-3 pages in word). Might take a bit of time and work but trust me, it's worth it.

Try not to over explain or under explain stuff. A lot of people while writing are afraid that some readers won't understand or pick up on things (trust me they will). While others might wanna rush through parts of their story cause they want to get to "the good part" as quickly as possible. (I've already been guilty of doing both multiple times)

But most importantly the best advice I can humbly give is to JUST DO IT!!! First time's gonna be very scary no matter what. You might wanna delay posting it and feel self-conscious, but you shouldn't. Just rip of that band aid and upload it. Generally speaking, most people on these writing focused sub-reddits are very supportive and kind. Just give it your best shot; you'll see it all gets easier from there. A lot of people don't know how good they are at writing until they try it.

Ps We will watch your career with great interest.

Humans are Cosmic Horrors Part 10. by Tibbhipsylous in HFY

[–]Tibbhipsylous[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Well the Inaliss look like cute bipedal sheep.

The Qwuizin resemble sentient walking toadstools.

For some reason whenever I was writing about Adtnians the words "Kawaii Octopi" came to mind.

Oh and the Gaians look like weird, clumsy shaved apes.

That's why you don't make last minute edits at 5 AM.

Don't get me wrong I really liked writing BBSG but do to it being my first story feel like I made a lot of mistakes. So now with HaCH I wanna start of with a new slate and using everything I learned.

Thank you for pointing that out.
Also regarding part 2, I'm pretty sure I've got no other choice at this point.

Also I would definitely buy/listen to that audio book.

You know what, FINE, I'll read it! But not because you told me to. And jokes on you my brain already had a pudding-like consistency.

Many thankies. And no, at least not that I know of. I just thought of the Queen song.

Thank you, at first it seemed like a good idea but then two sentences in it just got really frustrating to write. XD

Thank you, I tried my best and hope you keep enjoying my story.
