Hi! You can call me Shrooms. I've been writing for some time, but this is my first time trying out a serialized format. I have two series up so far, and you can find my main one in my website link!

wait really? I accidentally washed a red hoodie with it though....
Yeah, but eventually you get over it. A lot of life goes into 'boxes', and so do people. Parents don't belong in the 'artistic' box. Well, they don't really go in ANY box, except for maybe questions for how to get a white sweater white again.
For me personally, my parents always supported my writing, but it was a "secondary career". Not something I should aspire to, which is fine and understandable from a certain point of view. That's why I'm working on getting IT certifications now. That changed a lot as I got older. My dad doesn't thin…
If I'm being honest, I have the worst memory on the planet, and 90% of my editing takes place while rereading to refresh myself on my own continuity. It's about the only way I can make sure everything lines up, so it's kind of a two for one kind of deal.
Surprisingly, it's a LOT more lighthearted than Gods. Gods is just "pain pain pain literally nothing but pain and trauma, but everything will maybe turn out okay after EVERYTHING GOES WRONG!!" Artificer is just. "Alright, we got a lot of shit to work on, let's get you HEALING!!! MINDFULNESS!! AWAREN…
Organized people. I don't understand. I just don't.
Okay, so I have two. This is the first one. Nonbinary isekaied main character, but WARNING! The way he got into another world is essentially agreeing to give up all his names for the chance at happiness because he's so tired of being pulled between loving his transphobic family and loving himself. I…
Well, Artificer is definitely doing better than ever. The Gods of Our Mothers isn't, though, but it's also new and has fewer chapters, so I guess I'll leave it for now.
I tried to edit both series, but I'm not sure. Most ao3 tags are fandom specific things like "Izuku has a quirk" or "Parental x older male character", but common things are like angst, hurt/comfort, gore, found family, etc.
Oh, I don't go for the shirtless scenes much. I mean, like, the shirt with a REALLY low neckline, sash around the waist, tight leather pants, and annoyingly knowing smirk with intriguingly sharp teeth lol.
The dangers of making your protag chaotic evil....... Meanwhile, my main problem is having a chronic condition of making literally every mildly annoying character with dubious morals incurably attractive. But hey! you got a challenge out of it, right? Challenges are fun, push you to grow.
I have, like, four seasons after this planned, so I'm definitely going to up updating Artificer for a few years. Thank gods I don't have a social life to speak of haha.
Hopefully you'll get to meet him soon. I currently have a few days off from work, so I'm trying to smash through to the midway point of this season so I have a backlog. Once the full manuscript is complete, I'll probably be switching up my update schedule to release twice a week after everything is …
My betas are already annoyed about the eventual redemption arc and we've only seen this character in two chapters. I'm honestly living for the irritation.
I love how this thread immediately took a nosedive into "you haven't met them yet, but you're gonna hate them."
That's why I can't name my annoying character yet haha. He doesn't show up until part 11 in the krakos arc I think?? He's just awful and terrible and I love him but I hate him. His personality is the WORST.
Seriously, does anyone else have that character they love to hate and hate to love? Like, I intentionally made you to be irritating, but why did you have to take that and go above and beyond? Why are you like this? Every time you open your mouth, I take psychic damage, but it also makes me giggle li…
...... All I'm going to say is people don't get this upset about writers offering payment to artists even though it's the same level of work and effort. Edit: Never mind, I saw the thread, this situation seems a bit more complicated. It looks like an artist is trying to expand their resume, honest…
It's update daayyyy for both series!! Gotta love Fridays!
This ^^ Another thing is a lot of people want to do more when they should be doing less in the context of storytelling. It leads to a lot of unnecessary exposition. If you're doing worldbuilding for fun, then go wild. Make as much stuff as you want. Figure out your timelines, magic schools, factions…
I mean, just about everyone handles it differently. There's no real how-to guide to worldbuilding that will be a perfect fit for you. The best way to start if you want to is to just write things down. Whatever idea pops into your head, get it on paper. Or in a doc, or whatever. Just have a written r…
This has given me violent flashbacks to that one time I got stung by a young bark scorpion. Currently imagining it small, with the top half of a man, like the little guys in the Night at the Museum.
Technically, two sentences, buuuuttt And then Grim had to go and say such reckless things. Damn him.
I think what inspired me was just reading way too much and starting to nitpick at tropes. I've been reading a lot of isekai and transmigration stories lately, and, well, I'm a contrary person. Isekais always revolve around people who had no choice but to leave their world and enter a new one, and th…
Hm..... Right now, I'm using the tags like I would on ao3, meaning I'm using them as an aid to find the series itself. So, I should probably not do that, right? By the description, you already know Artificer is an isekai, so you probably don't need that in the tags. Would it be better to use like th…
Yeah, I've been totally lost on the episode tags and didn't want to mess it up, so I haven't touched them up until now. Good to know I hadn't made a huge mistake in avoiding them.
Not positive it's going off genre, either, since The Gods of Our Mothers has no tags or genres in common with The Beginning After the End. There's actually nothing in common with it except maybe action I think?
Though now that I think about it, do the tags even determine recommendations? It doesn't even seem like they even do that. Because the recommendations under both of my series seem to be based off of me, the creator, and the highest amount of likes on the site. It doesn't seem like the best way to ac…
Yeah, on ao3 I was popular in one fandom, at least, with about 40k views at the highest on one of my stories (I think, I haven't checked my stats in awhile), but that's because I know how to tag and had a ridiculous upload schedule. Here it's a whole other ball game and I feel a little out of my dep…
I've got the link in my profile haha. But I don't do comics. I've read over most of those marketing topics, I just didn't see any posts about series tags and what on earth we're supposed to be doing with them.
