Need Advice From the Writers on These Forms
I need advice from the amazing writers on these forms. I have read a lot of your guys stories and I love them. In addition to YouTube, I want to start writing here because it also allows me to give something back to the community. So, my questions are: How long should my "book" be? How long should a chapter be? How often should I post? And finally, what should I write about? I think I want to write about the people that captured the PvP maps, because I think that is a really cool concept, but do you guys think it is? I hope you guys answer these questions and I can't wait to start writing in the amazing community you guys have built up. Love you guys and keep writing!

Don't be afraid to try new and vague ideas; if you have a beginning for a story, write it, and most likely a middle and end will come to you.

In the immortal words of Carrie Fisher: "Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What's important is the action. You don't have to wait to be confident. Just do it, and eventually the confidence will follow." :) hope her words will help you as much as much as they've helped me!

If you've seen Taikonaut, you can see that I like to make new stories in the universe, wether it be invading a fallen ketch or rummaging through a Rasputin bunker. Update schedules don't matter. All they'll do is get you tense, and stressed. Just post when you get inspiration. I wish I would've done that.

Shoot for whatever length you feel comfortable writing about. There isn't a set standard to reach towards but rather something you should be proud of making and something you are happy with the quality of. Writing is a process of trail and error where you try and find the middle ground of what you like and what you're willing settle for while pushing towards your idea of perfection. Just keep writing and practicing.

2 RepliesMy only advice to you is do what you wanna do. There's going to be a $*+t ton of haters eager to rain on your parade on these forums.....so do your best to ignore them and keep in mind there are civilised people out there reading your posts but don't chip in cause of all the venom. Good luck.
