105 What to Do with All This Happiness? (1/2)

”What happened?” Nie Chang slowly approached his boyfriend and took a look at the notebook. Was he chatting with someone?

Su Yan turned around and looped his arms around Nie Chang's waist. ”It's the system again! It's bullying me! Look what it wants me to do as my next task!” He rubbed his cheek against Nie Chang's body and got comfortable.

Nie Chang patted his head and looked at the task. His brows also raised a bit but he wouldn't get immediately furious like Su Yan. Instead, he just clicked on the title of the task to have the system display the content. One look revealed what he had already expected: ”You were thinking too much.”

”Huh?” Su Yan opened his eyes and took a look over his shoulder.

[Writing and publishing are a lot like a relationship: Meeting each other for the first time is just like suddenly having an idea. After that, it's time to explore: You'll want to get to know your potential partner or the characters of your story and there are lots of things to find out! And then, when you're sure that everything will work out, that this person is the right one or that your story is in its final shape, then it's time to do the deed. Expose yourself in front of that special person or expose your story in front of your audience. Don't be afraid of them judging you! You're just as perfect as your story!]

Su Yan smiled wryly. ”Ah Chang, are you sure you weren't the one who made this program?”

”Didn't you say it's a real system? How could I code something like that? Furthermore, I don't know enough about writing to set it up. It sounds quite logical when reading it like this though.”

”It wants us to believe that.” Su Yan clicked for the next part.

[You've already sufficiently explored your story and made sure that it's in its best possible form. Now it's time to share it with others.

First, choose a platform and a pen name fitting the genre you're writing in and set up an account.

Hint: It isn't impossible to change the platform later on but there are advantages to making a good choice in the beginning and staying faithful to that site. Because of the importance of this decision the host may click on the help button to receive a suggestion for a suitable platform.]

Su Yan clicked on the button and waited for the site to open. When he saw what the system had proposed he frowned. ”Are you kidding me? That's the one where I wrote my fanfictions!”

Nie Chang laughed and gave him a kiss on the head. ”Isn't that good though? You won't need to get used to another site. Just open a second account and put the story up there.”

Su Yan pursed his lips. ”That's true, too. Well, I liked the site anyway.”
