noctifer (Blood Peony Emperor), on the other hand, likes to challenge songs with different genres. When Elyon heard her singing voice, it reminded him of Erutan. One of his favorite creative singers in youtube.

When the karaoke session quieted down, the discord chatroom resumed its carefree atmosphere and the authors started to talk about random things once again.

Transcendent: Everyone has to start from the amateur stage.

Murakami_Takai: oooof!

Elyon: btw trans. You sc.r.a.pped your original novel and rewrote it? That's what I got from the comments.

Transcendent: Yeah I saw plot holes. I got both positive and negative feedbacks about that. *sweat emoticon*

noctifer (Blood Peony Emperor): *pats emoticon* I did the same with mine too.

Transcendent: And I could make the beginning much better.

Murakami_Takai: Transcending the Marital Peak.

Transcendent: Yeah.

'What Marital Peak?'

Transcendent: That was my previous work.

Murakami_Takai: marital.

Elyon: marital.

Transcendent: Idk

noctifer (Blood Peony Emperor): Didn't have enough readers for anyone to complain.

Elyon: lmao

Transcendent: I felt it was not attractive enough.

Murakami_Takai: G.o.dd.a.m.n typos. legit tho, sounds like an epic novel. Transcending the Marital Peak.

Elyon: It's a good thing your fans followed you even though they kept on cursing you with every chapter.

Murakami_Takai: What is marital peak anyway? The first night?

Elyon: Marital peak is the peak that you shouldn't go to.

Transcendent: But wait, that was the Previous Version.

Murakami_Takai: Kinda easy to transcend that.

Elyon: lmao.

Transcendent: The One I'm writing now is "Transcending Limits." That's the rewrite of Transcending the Martial Peak.

[A/N: The joke was changing Martial Peak to Marital Peak by one of his fans]

Murakami_Takai: Yes. I know. I'm just making fun of one of the commenters who said marital instead of martial.

noctifer (Blood Peony Emperor): Alright. I'm only reading it cuz I did the same thing (cough, cough, rewriting).

This is the first time Elyon heard of the term rewriting. It seems that there are authors who sc.r.a.pped their previous stories and "rewrote" it again to make it more interesting for the readers.

Transcendent: If you are an outliner, even partially.

Elyon: Outliner? Care to elaborate? I'm not familiar with the term outliner.

Transcendent: @Elyon Outliner: Author who writes by outlining his story-plot, characters.

Outlining is a technique that authors use to plan the story ahead of time. This is where you create the characters, the settings, plot and other important parts you want to appear in your story.

It's more of a general guideline so the authors won't lose sight of the steps they need to take, in order to reach the ending of the story.

[A/N: This is my own definition of outlining. I can be wrong though! To those who have a more easy-to-understand meaning of outlining, feel free to post in the comment section thank you!]

Elyon: Yay! I'm finished editing 6 chapters...37 to go @[email protected]

Murakami_Takai: By editing you mean copyediting?

Elyon: Dafuq I'm offended.

Murakami_Takai: You do realize that copyediting means making sure the grammar is correct and that the consistency is there.

Elyon: I can't change what I can't change. I can only do so much @ I'm not an editor.

Murakami_Takai: What? I mean, are you reworking sh*t or making it more presentable?

'You should have said that earlier Wikipedia.'

Elyon: Yeah I guess?

noctifer (Blood Peony Emperor): One day I'll edit my chapters myself or just hire an editor once I've finished.

Elyon: Good plan! Yes just hire an editor and let them edit! *waves keyboard in frustration* One day I'll look back at all these...these...THESE and laugh when I reach my goal! Then throw a party and invite the sparkly ladies.

Murakami_Takai: Wat is these?

Elyon: These

Murakami_Takai: These?

Elyon: Yes.

Murakami rolled his eyes at Elyon.

Alison35: Sparkly ladies? Alison and Noctifer *blush emoticon*

Xandarx: Usually, at this time, the chat will be full. Where all the guys? *tilt head emoticon*

Murakami_Takai: Off living a life cos its da weekend.

Xandarx: Oh poor me.

Elyon: Just busy and tired.

Elyon looked at the clock and saw how late it is. He decided to rest because he has a lot of things to do in the morning.

Meanwhile in the discord chatroom…

Darksouls8797: Hey guys! I am curious about smth. If let's say for beginner writers who want to learn to write but doesn't know how to. Will they be interested in taking a free study course?

Double D: Depends on the platform, but free anything people usually go for it. Unless it's like free AIDS. I never saw anyone go for free AIDS.

Darksouls8797: LilSeaSalt?! Wait Wait Wait! I was just asking them about their opinions!! ITS NOT YET CONFIRMED.

[A/N: What's not confirmed? The free AIDS or Free Study Course?]

Adorable miaomiao: Lol. I need a fweee course.

Awespec: I wouldn't even know what to teach in writing. lesson 1: 'don't suck like I do'.

Darksouls: I mean, what I teach for you guys is the theory behind writing.

Adorable miaomiao: Cool! I'm in!

Darksouls8797: So it really depends...Hmm After a month xD Cause I'm doing beta testing now.

Awespec: Yes, in theory, don't suck.

Adorable miaomiao: Teach me to write @Darksouls8797

Awespec: Because in reality, we're all doomed.

Adorable miaomiao: s.m.u.t.

Awespec: I am the leading expert on s.m.u.t. *aww emoticon*

Adorable miaomiao: Oh teach me @Awespec

Darksouls8797: Lol you will lose to me. I started writing s.m.u.t when I was 10.

[A/N: OH MY GAWD! A 10 year old writing s.m.u.t…good grief!]

Adorable miaomiao11: U two compete. I'll choose.

Darksouls8797: Uhh xD! @Awespec goodluck shes yours.

Adorable miaomiao11: @Awespec This dark has no fighting spirit.

Awespec: Aiyah *joy emoticon* Go and read my s.m.u.t scenes, young padawan.

The authors from the other side of the world start to stir in the Writer's Discord Chatroom. They are the authors that Elyon rarely meet in the chat because of their different timezones. Even so, the time for their meeting will soon come to pa.s.s. The only question is…how long will it last?
