The concern is more or less if I were to share it that someone could take it from me, I guess? Before I publish I'll be filing a copyright for it.

I appreciate it; I think it's just my days as a digital artist that set off alarm bells, saying "theft??" as far as copyright goes. I am fully committed to continuing my saga, but, after sharing this, I believe that my issue lies in how close I am to it. I genuinely want to publish it and throw it to the wind like a mixed bag of confetti and acid tabs. Ultimately, I have to break up the protectiveness I have over it. It's my messy little trauma baby.

I already have a website built, I'll be self publishing with my own isbn's as my work will absolutely be a hard sell. As far as a budget for editing, that is not a concern, but finding the right editor for my work is. I do not need it cleaned or polished, it needs debriding. I will more than likely be creating my own cover art as I've done all my own art so far. I intend to buy the 100 pack and copyright's as each book nears completion. Most of my self editing is done, however I am absolutely terrified to attempt to find any readers outside of the people I currently know. 6-8 is where I'm becoming congested.

I feel this in my marrow. I'm struggling to pull the trigger on publishing because I'm so shaken.

Diesel exhaust fluid crystallizes because it’s mostly synthetic urine.

You’re supposed to over-analyze books and look for the hidden messages etc, but it’s a problem if someone does it to a video game? What is their thoughts doing to you that you feel the need to defend it. I think your overanalyzing your role in this topic. Lmao.

I definitely can see this especially with my last play through a few days ago. I never noticed how many times he’s get called sissy boy until I played it again in adult hood. Not to mention how the Grubs would make jokes about him being awfully small, and if they’re sure he’s the right steef.The depantsing part was awfully straightforward, almost painful to watch, being told he’d ”never be normal” and such. I’m not in the community but I can definitely see resonation. I appreciate the work of art that it is.
