It’s not the name that bothers me, it’s the personality of the character sharing the author’s name. If you want to have a character named Monica who’s a fully fleshed out, real person with flaws, then by all means, do that! Other readers named Monica would love it, for one thing. I just hate it when a character is damn near perfect and so obviously just wishful thinking on the author’s part. For instance, Pride and Prejudice has a saintly character named Jane, whose only flaw is that she thinks too highly of other people. Argh. So much in that book made me gag! Just don’t make your character Monica too saintly and good, and you’ll be fine! ٩(˘◡˘)۶
- OMG YES
- Not yet… but I will now!
- Nah, not rn (that’s ok!)

Thank you! That’s what I was going for, doing my best to separate myself from Monica so she is a real person with flaws. I hope other Monicas would enjoy that.
I didn’t even know there was a site.

So, to find a character with my name would probably make me feel all sorts of things. However, I myself wouldn’t do that for my own reasons. For other authors to name a character after themselves, to each their own I suppose. Would I read such a story? I would probably find it a tiny bit odd until I get to know the character more.
I’m like “let me finish my book before I start fumbling my butterfingers with a new site!”
Is this place going to be part of it?
yup! this is just the community part
and ikr like i have 3 books i’ve written but i kinda hate them so im here like “here’s a great oppertunity to put something up but i have nothing lol”
I’ve got plenty of stuff. Just that I’m testing online stuff with werewolf sometimes-smut before I’m all in…and so I’ve got stuff moldering on the laptop.
yea ofc lol
Do you ever just spontaneously write a chapter or an entire story without any planning?
Like just go for it. You don’t care how it will look afterward just want to write all your thoughts down and get it out of the way. BUT this is not an every day thing.
- Yes, I do that sometimes or all the time.
- No, I got to plan and plot my story always.
- Other(explain in the comments below).

I choose pancakes!
AAAA I’d be getting all sorts of problems whatever I chose XD
I suppose I could experiment with different ways of making pancakes, i wouldn’t have to use any flours that make me feel bad, I could put beans in it for protien, and even fruit.
They are made with bananas quite often.
Peanutbutter pancakes are so heavy you eat less of them.
And then they have Atkins friendly pancake mixes, which are protein based (people say they like them better than normal pancakes).
Oh, and waffles use pancake batter.
I usually do at least some planning for novel length works but all of my short stories or flash fiction pieces are done with no plan at all
