I'm having this same issue, it says my account doesn't exist, even though I made an account back in 2011, and my stuff is still there. It worked the first time, then I updated to the "New" profile system. I haven't been here -since- 2011, so it might seem like ancient history to you. Now I can't get on at all, but it still lets me reset my account password, which does not help. I think your site just hates me. I remember having account issues the first time as well. And if memory serves me well the exact same ones.

1. It;s not about how many chapters there are, it's about how much each chapter drives the story along. Each keystone event should have it's own chapter, Sometimes there will be more than 1 key event in a chapter depending on chronological spacing, but there must ALWAYS be at least one key event per chapter. If you just have entire chapters where nothing important happens the story will become monotonous. 2. Chapters should be at least 1000 words, and should never reach 3000 words. You're target should be roughly 2000 words. If you don't reach 1000 words you're audience will be left wanting more and you won't have enough room to drive the story forward. If you have more than 3000 words the reader may get tired and take a break half way through the chapter, which will break up the immersion. 3. As a writer I abide strictly to the 2000 word rule, a High-school habit I never broke out of I guess. As a reader I like to read an entire chapter from start to finish then be satisfied with it, so I can take a break. I should never have been reading a chapter for so long that I get bored and leave it, at the same time I shouldn't read a short chapter and be left thinking "Is that all?"

When my story got a bad rating, I had a check to see what could be wrong with it. The fact that the 2000 word story only has a 300 word sexual encounter might have something to do with it. Which got me thinking, how much sex should there be? Too much and it just becomes written porn, too little and it's glorified shipping. Is there some sort of guideline, or should I just have mostly sex scenes to make the reader happy?

I'll admit, I only know the last one Gasai - one off date, scissors scare me. Mizore - Date, purple hair FTW Alma - Date, she's a demon that kills people with her mind, what's not to like? Males; The Doctor, This one Bond, James Bond Chris from Resident Evil Females: < RainbowDash Luna, (MLP) Cheerilee, could only think of MLP characters for some reason :\

Yes D: Glad I don't any more Have you ever regifted? (Given your present to someone else)

So long as what makes the character who they are remains in-tact it's ok. It's ok to add your own spin to the character, so long as you don't massacre their personality. Take FlutterShy as an example; a timid, quiet girl with extremely low confidence. Making her a dominant player would be totally, unexceptable, but anything else is ok, so long as she remains as FlutterShy and not FlutterSomethingNotShy.

I find writing with an older character very difficult. There are a lot of restrictions you have to keep in mind. That said, I wouldn't stop myself from doing it, just because they're old. However I always have my audience in mind. I'll never write a sex scene that includes old people in the same story as one that contains a sex scene with young people. Keeping it in the scope of humans I never really saw any advantage in using old characters, with the exception of comedic effect and I just have trouble picturing old people as players.

Not Guilty, I only dream of anime characters so it would be a little sad if I forgot what they looked like. Ever knocked someone over, then walked away pretending it was someone else?
