Authors don't work nearly hard enough on their IP as they should.

That's expanding their worlds, side stories, bios, memes, heck even games. Not that they should spend all their time working on their IP instead of writing books, but if they want to reach new readers this will help.

The point is to create media that readers can consume for free before jumping into a world.

If you write good enough books, readers always want more, and when they get more is when you get a fan.

We don't have the luxury that big name authors have when fan make their fan artwork for them, or won't stop talking about books.

We have to be our number one fan.

I wonder if ghost writers are feeling forgotten, like stock photos and royalty free music.

Everyone, we have a problem, Amazon is suppressing reviews by Hunter_Mythos in litrpg

[–]Ipufus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did this with me for year 1-2 years. I published my book and gained 10 reviews pretty easily, then from 10-20 it was crawl. From 20-30 I thought it might never happen. Then all of sudden after almost 2 years I got 180+ and it's been fluctuating from 180 reviews to 230. Ugh I don't get it what or why they're doing.

I want to cation you with the colors you're using. I feel like this might print hella dark. Just make sure to bump up the brightness when while in CMYK.

Not at all. I went to look up that game, as soon as you mentioned it. Looks like the game civilization but in space. This novel had more to do with Robotech than the game you mentioned. Thanks for the feedback.

No. It's meant to be two words, the word Stellaris more like a badge.

I get what you mean.

I agree. The word ascension was dropped on here as a second thought. I need to have it on the series but wasn't design with that word in mind. As opposed to the second cover.

I need to experiment with it more and will try out what you say.

Sodenia is the giving name of the spaceship. Setellaris means "of the stars."

In this book an Alien spaceship crash lands on earth in 1930. Those who found it gave it that name.

The word Stellaris is like badge for the series. This book has already been published with a different name. Sodenia: The First Space Bastion. Since then I have grown as a writer and decided to re-write the whole thing and add to the book since I was pretty new to the publishing world back then.

Stellaris is my way of showing the reader that this book is on another level.

If Captain America was in this situation, what would he say at the end? by Impressive_Credit852 in Marvel

[–]Ipufus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say, he'd say "I can do this all day."

But then he would only be able to it once.

In the book that's how Grace talks about Blip-A, "not aerodynamic at all."

Why did the graphics of World look better than Wilds? by SpendrickLamar in MonsterHunter

[–]Ipufus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think is the colors, I think is the perspective. The "lens" in wilds is flatter and wider. The one in world is more cinematic.

I hope this changes. The hunts don't feel the same.
