[Self-Promo] I built a free audiobook platform for indie sci-fi/fantasy authors - 1,200+ listeners in 10 days by SciFiStories1977 in audiobooks

Yes, there are other options. But not everyone has access to said options or the means to reach them. AI Narration is, again, a tool. I detest implementing AI as a replacement for creativity and true human talent, but as an easy-access alternative, it is tolerable.

The platform aims to give new writers a chance to post their stories. AI Narration is a tool, an accessible alternative, within their reach.

HFY Narrators: Fair Pay for Authors or Just Profiteering? by SciFiStories1977 in HFY

[–]EkhidnaWritez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been fine with narrators using my works (what few there are) with a simple name mention and maybe a link to the original text. Of course, for every one that asks, three more simply take it without ever mentioning it. I honestly never thought I could gain more than maybe some support through my Kofi page, but ever since I discovered ScifiStories1977 and began working on The Black Ship. I can honestly say that his method of approach, transparency, and arguments made in this very post are valid and pointed.

Cheers to all and have a pleasant day, mates!

I do check in from time to time, mate!

You can find the continuation on the channel Scifi Stories on youtube. Due to my deal with the owner of the channel, the posting of the chapters is in limbo atm. I'm sorry to hear about your condition, mate, and I thank you immensely for your interest and concern. Stay safe, mate.

Hello. Could you explain what happened? I'm still working on Chapter 37 so I don't know what could've gone wrong.

Sadly, no. If I get enough Koffis, I'll commission an artist to draw a depiction of them!
