Thanks for letting us share! Here's mine 
Genre: BL, Romance, Drama Synopsis: Because of a single kiss mark, Aloe finds himself involved in the complicated relationships of three men.
Aloe had spent years suppressing his feelings for his best friend, but when he learns of his crush’s new girlfri…

Not really. In my closest circle, most of us aren't even into the same things as each other. We gravitate towards different interests but I think that's what makes it fun being around them. I get all sorts of experiences I otherwise wouldn't have. Of course, we still do try to engage with the stuff …
I'm not sure if it's still common nowadays, but a lot of local vloggers/content creators in my country would use this sound bite a lot:
or this sound bite:
They kept overusing it so much that it just grates my ears whenever I hear it

I'm about to say what is perhaps the most generic answer: BOTW. I wasn't much into gaming beforehand, but I kept hearing about it being good and the concept interested me. Before this, I'd never touched a Zelda game in my life. I absolutely adored BOTW! While there was a storyline and path you cou…
Like what @Animefanka said, google drive folders are probably the best bet. For extra added security, instead of setting it to those who have the link gaining access, you can set it to restricted access and have their emails added to those with access. That way, if someone who isn't included in that…
To write an effeminate gay character without being offensive, I say just write them with the same considerations as you would any other characters. I've met effeminate gay men and masculine gay men, and at the end of the day, the traits of being "effeminate" and "masculine" are just a single part of…
I still haven't reached a point of muting the promotion threads, so occasionally I do look through them to find someone I want to support. A nice looking cover or an interesting premise is a big draw for me! A cover that's pretty eye catching and suits the vibe of the types of stories I like catch m…
Heya! I hope you don't mind me asking, but I'm also curious who here would shoulder the costs of 3D assets. I heard that the ones used in manhwa are usually paid for. If the story requires the artist to use 3D assets they didn't have yet, should that be taken into account in pricing? Also, I'm cam…
Thanks for the chance! Genre BL, Romance, Drama Because of a single kiss mark, Aloe finds himself involved in the complicated relationships of three men. Aloe had spent years suppressing his feelings for his best friend, but when he learns of his crush’s new girlfriend, he finds it harder a…
I think this thread might be helpful! The tl;dr of it is that it could go $15-$20 per panel or even higher depending on skill level and experience.
Haven't played the game, but I'm really considering the anime! I heard it's a pretty good show, and the music's just convincing me more.
Hello! Here's the cover for my BL novel! I really like pink, so I worked with the artist to make sure the characters' color scheme wouldn't clash too much with it. [image]

I took some introductory creative writing classes, but ever since college, I had to focus more on academic writing. Creative writing after that had to be trial and error for me, so there were a lot of misses in the fanfics I wrote before. I had to rely mostly on learning from other media, be it fanf…
Just putting myself out there and publishing my novel is a new experience! But if we talk about its contents, I'd say just writing a romance with no pre-established relationships or a clear male lead is out of my comfort zone. I always write with a focus on developing a single couple, so this is pr…
A mix of both! I plot out major events and important moments for the characters, but after that, I just dive right into writing the initial draft. I've tried structuring stuff back when I wrote fanfiction, but I learned that there are just some things I won't catch until I put them down to paper (or…
Stick figure isekai? What an interesting concept! I'll definitely check it out! If you don't mind, I'd also like to drop my series! I have a romance novel about an anxious boy navigating his unrequited feelings while somehow attracting the attention of some unexpected men.
This thread has been really helpful! I'm really having difficulty with promotion, but these replies are giving me some ideas! Since some assets for my novel are already in the works, I'll try thinking of how to use it for promotion (I also think I should discuss the terms of usage with the artist).
I don't really know how to promote a novel on social media sites. Since places like Instagram and Twitter seem more oriented toward visuals, I can't really think of a way to make my novel stand out... at least for now! For the Discord server, I'm still mulling over it. I don't really know how to nav…
I get what you mean. Coming from a fanfiction writing background, you pretty much have all the establishing details set up for you (That is, unless you're writing AUs and such). My chapter ones get to go right into the action because typically, people already know what's up. Now that I'm entering th…
It really depends on what I'm feeling that day. Sometimes I like a good will they, won't they. I just like the fun of figuring out who gets to be with whom and what will lead to those endgame coupling. I've read a lot of things like this before, both where the main love interest was obvious from the…
I'm not sure about the dichotomy between "clingy" vs "decent, slow," but I prefer stories within my age range. This is to say somewhere around the early twenties. I'm not really all that interested in reading about high schoolers these days, so I lean more towards college-based or working adult type…
For my pen name, I needed something that was entirely different from the previous ones I used. I frequented fanfiction communities, and while I'm immensely grateful at the experiences it gave me, I wanted a fresh start. And since all of them were in English, what better way to separate my current al…
Since the story I'm currently writing kind of encourages it, I don't really mind 
It's kind of fun to see what big ships might arise out of my series, of course, assuming it gets big enough to even have a lot of people shipping my characters. In the fan communities I've been in, shippers tend to be …
I like to cuddle with my pets to relax! When things get too overwhelming, it's always nice to have a furry friend to play with 
I also like to watch or read some feel-good content, be it a movie, series, or book. It's even better when I can have something to snack on, but when budget's tight, you ma…
Hello! This is my first time posting an original story on Tapas, but I hope you'll like my story! And although I've lurked on the forums before (mostly in advice threads), this is my first time actually joining in on a discussion! Nice to meet everyone! Title: Caught in a Complicated Romance Genre…
