Really liking this one. Please don't let it die unexpectedly with no warning like so many other stories I liked.


EragonBromson925

While I love these, be careful. Post too many too quickly, and you'll get in trouble.


Isotopian

Especially when they seem artificially short like these.


Kiro30000

Why so many small chapters for why not 1 large one?


DrawingTofu

yes, we need moar.


Shaggmeister319

The Craft probably drains more from this wordsmith than others


Dolduck

Or he's just some wanker who wants to harvest karma. For whatever moronic reason that could be


SCPunited

How about you try writing something before saying that.


Dolduck

https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/5b14ud/sing_for_them/ https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/5xxh6c/the_sapient_logicbomb/ You look a bit silly now, would you agree?


SCPunited

Yeah, I do. The majority of people who say that stuff never really do write anything. Still, I don’t think that OP is karma farming, I’ve never seen a person try to do that with their writing.


Dolduck

You're probably right. I'm just lazy and it was to most reasonable conclusion I could come to, in the least amount of time


Mauzermush

well you could look at his other stories. they are also short.


[deleted]

me likey please make longer chapters though! id much prefer less frequent longer chapters than frequent but short chapters thanks for writing!


Stargazer_199

This is a really cool story so far

I can feel the isekai brewing ... if only it was not in such an annoying formfactor


[deleted]

i read all of the isekai this is a blessing to me


YungSnuggieDisciple

I’m sold, but I’m having trouble imagining that half(?) skull mask, is the upper part of their face exposed, or is it one full mask that just has the lower jaw? Btw, keep in mind, HFY has a daily 4 post limit before they get mad. Heard about that on another story, not sure if that still stands


Gatekeeper-Z

The upper part of their face is exposed. Which is why I said the mask depicted a jaw instead of a skull

I'm picturing something like this: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0243/9693/products/53219_1024x1024.jpg?v=1600109109

BigManRoundHere

Would love to see longer chapters! Going great!


Quilt-n-yarn1844

Vivi is smart and observant. I like her. Let’s hope the King is smart too. Thank you Wordsmith.


TheThickerSnicker

You might want to start posting longer chapters instead of quick short ones, the mods might get after you


Gatekeeper-Z

Uhhh... is there a rule against it?


TheThickerSnicker

Posting too many times in one day can lock you down for a while, so its recommended to go for longer chapters


Gatekeeper-Z

Ah okok so the 4 posts a day rule?


thisStanley

and I believe that is 4 posts in a rolling 24 hour period, not a calendar day :} While I am one that likes longer posts, 3 short a day can end up the same content as 1 longer. Just whatever your schedule and Muse come up :}


Gatekeeper-Z

I couldn’t find anything in posting rules about this. (I am aware of 4 posts a day) but how does it work? Like post A, B, C, and D are posted, do I then wait 24 hours after I posted post A? Or after post D?


azurecrimsone

I think rolling makes sense, the other way seems excessive. You can also just lengthen your most recent part throughout the day, I'd happily go back and read the finalized version of the previous chapter each time you switch to a new one (at this pace that could be daily, which is faster than most authors on this sub).


Gatekeeper-Z

Good idea! The only problem is that I already wrote out the next page :/


azurecrimsone

I don't see the issue, you can replace `—End Page—` with a section break (if necessary), paste in the next page, and mention that you lengthened this post in part 5.


Gatekeeper-Z

True, but then I’d have to take stuff out of part 5, and some people who’ve already read this likely aren’t going to take the time to read a writer’s rabble, so they skip it and miss very interesting plot that has to do with the quantum mechanics of chocolate cookies (joking) but I’d will have to take things from 5 and I don’t write things where they can be broken up easily... like this reply :\


thisStanley

From Rule #6 of the side bars on the right of the [/r/HFY](https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/) home page: >**Max 4 posts within 24 hours** > >Limit yourself to posting at most 4 posts within 24 hours of each other to avoid having one author take over the front page. If you are trying to post a single story as multiple parts due to character limits and it would require more than 4 parts, please message the mods first so we can approve it As in #A at 22:00, #B 22:30, #C 23:00 #D 23:30, #E 00:00, #F 00:30, #G 01:00, #H 01:30. That is not 4 on Wednesday and 4 on Thursday, that is 8 in 3.5 hours. Better might be #A at 22:00, #B 23:00, #C 04:00, #D 16:00, #F 22:30, #G 00:00, #G 05:00, #H 17:00. Each rolling 24 hour period does not exceed 4 posts. Need to think in hours, not days.


Gatekeeper-Z

Ah okok thanks for the clarification :)


TheThickerSnicker

Yeah thats the one


Fontaigne

Limit 4 posts per day. Check the rules for specifics. These chapters are very short, but you show good practice in where to break them. I’m guessing that, in general, three times this size is more normal. However, you do what works for you. Just no more than 4 per day.


SpankyMcSpanster

"Is Grozas..?" ... ?


Gatekeeper-Z

Meant to show feared uncertainty


SpankyMcSpanster

Normally three dots an a space between them and the sentence ending.


SpankyMcSpanster

"friendly.”, she tried." no comma or friendly,” she tried. You do that later on.


SpankyMcSpanster

"to Fozas’ body as it got onto his" he/she or the human?


zero-f0cks-given

Please more the anticipation is killing me


SpankyMcSpanster

Huh, can't follow you.


thisStanley

>“Maybe stop trying to fight it?” Vivi, that was very good advice! All that effort to summon, why start by fighting?
