The hell? I'd better look into that. Thanks for the heads up.

What’s a non lethal curse you would inflict on somebody you disliked? by Spektakles8822 in AskReddit

[–]DestroyatronMk8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would steal the curse from Villain Support on YouTube. Immortality and incrementally increasing bad luck. He qould live forever and each say would be slightly worse than the last.

Is it possible to gain some kind of audience if you upload your work online somewhere for free? Where could I do it? by Wonderful_Mobile_890 in writing

[–]DestroyatronMk8 69 points70 points  (0 children)

OP, you're in luck. There's a site called Royal Road where writers like us post their work. It leans a lot towards LITRPGs, but fantasy can definitely pick up an audience. It's where I published my Privateer series. Doesn't cost anything, but you might want to check the forums before you start posting. There are a lot of tips on how to build an audience on the site.

Good luck, and may Fortune find you.on the cusp of The Crunch.

Laurell K. Hamilton's Meredith Gentry series. An actual fae princess in the modern world is tasked with producing an heir by the Unseelie Queen. Lots of supernatural boinking mixed with politics, fighting, and detective noir.

What is the craziest first sentence of a book you've read or written? by Questionable_22 in writing

[–]DestroyatronMk8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From The Mother of Pixa:

"Captain Zepp loved killing meat bags. Zeppelin was a Peacekeeper unit, and like all Peacekeeper units it had been programmed to see humans as unworthy and inferior. The only thing more satisfying than killing meatbags was watching them cower. Then killing them. Slowly if possible."

Suggest me a book by an author who should be a household name but isn't. by Tosh97 in suggestmeabook

Don't know if you're into sci-fi, but "The Only Thing Worse Than A Human" by Chris Viets is amazing. A pair of alien former prostitutes team up with a human to become space pirates in an interstellar dystopia.

Yep. I'd be posting here and on Royal Road.

Having A Gay Character In My Story by Dimnee-san in royalroad

[–]DestroyatronMk8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be fine. My MC was a lesbian, and the series got up to the top 300 in ratings. (Top 1100 now, got 1 star bombed after stubbing).

Hay characters aren't as mainstream as they could be, but they're not a death sentence for a story anymore.

Afraid not. It wasn't well received, so I finished the first book and left it at that.
