>What is /wng/ — Web Novel General?
A general for readers and authors involved or interested in the growing phenomenon of 'web novels', serialized English fiction posted to websites such as: Royal Road, Webnovel, Scribblehub, Wattpad, Archive of Our Own, Spacebattles, HFY, various personal author websites, and more

>Why read web novels?
Not for prose or tight editing or deep themes, frankly. As a whole, web novels are infamous for content sprawl and pacing issues. If you enjoy having millions of words to sink your teeth into to get to know the world and characters, though, you may be interested. Keeping up with other readers on a weekly basis to discuss the story's events unfolding is another perk, in the same way discussing an ongoing TV show might be.

>Why write web novels?
Ease of access & potential for Patreon earnings. Many successful authors gain an audience on their website of choice and funnel their readers into a Patreon. See graphtreon.com/top-patreon-creators/writing for an idea of what some are earning.
Also, once an author has earned a fanbase, transitioning into an Amazon self-publishing career is several orders of magnitude easier than starting 'dry'.

Ugh.
"Another webnovel general," thought Zorian. Well, he would have to see about that.
After a few minutes' contemplation, he hummed thoughtfully as if he found the solution to his woes.
Nodding sagely, he devised a simulacrum to tackle this admittedly boring problem.

I was going to say "strong A New Hope inspiration" but it's not 1:1. Awesome regardless.
Love the space battle in the background, reminds me of Target Earth's intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KucLHqqbY7k

You're gonna put the title on top or on the bottom? Or no title?

Don't use adverbs or adjectives. Only use precise nouns and verbs.

there's such a thing as mixed communication, and this is it.
