Re: Plot bunny adoption station
Before I got into web novels and started writing Surviving the Arcanum, I had a few novel concepts I was toying with. Alas with my current schedule I won't have time to write all of them, so here's one (...)

Re: Did you hire an editor before publishing your first story here?
Web serials are a very different beast from other, more traditional forms of writing. Due to the rapid high volume production schedules required to build and maintain an audience, most writers including (...)

Re: In your opinion what is the most optimal time to release a chapter?
Honestly, any time you can find a free slot during the day that isn't taken up by any of the bigger releases. Worth noting you can browse back quite far in the latest updates pages to get a sense of what (...)

Re: 🌸 Weekend Snippets 10/2 | WEEK 80 ✳ Superbowl LVII Weekend 🏉 Featuring RIHANNA! 🎤
“How did you learn so much about the Arcanum?” she asked. “I’ve been here longer than you were when we met and I feel like I don’t understand anything.” Quitéria was quiet for a few moments, thinking. (...)

Re: Need help with my blurb
Very much in agreement about having way too many abandoned stories on your profile. It just doesn't inspire confidence in me as a reader. I highly recommend either removing all of the old stories or creating (...)

Based on my experiences so far I recommend at least 3 chapters per week if you can handle it. I do 2 now and I don't feel like it's enough, so I've got plans in place to increase that in the nearish future. (...)

Re: How do shoutouts and review swaps work?
I agree, shoutouts don't and shouldn't be limited to Rising Stars participants. Rather than using the scattershot approach though, I recommend either doing a shoutout for a story you genuinely enjoy and/or (...)
