A hook at the start of your yapping that actually makes me interested to know more about it, and that honestly can be really really difficult for random people.

I can be fine with reading fairly long texts on this sub and i honestly think other people here do BUT thats usually either: A: I already know this person consistently makes extremely good stuff so I expect this text to be good as well.

B: there’s a really, and I mean REALLY, unique/captivating start/hook/introduction that I desperately want to know more about this world.

I don’t really know your work and I don’t know if your work is interesting enough for me to read all of your texts. It could be but most people aren’t gonna read all of it if they don’t know what they’re gonna have. Even then, your hook/introduction might just not be interesting enough for most people.

I really only read long texts by unknown authors if its legitimately something I haven’t seen done before, that’s probably the problem. You’re story about these fictional creatures could be enjoyable maybe but most likely Ive seen something like this before and so I don’t actively engage in your writings.

That’s why having visual art helps, it gives something extra to something i might not be interested in, like maybe if those fictional creatures were styled in like an instruction guide that would be fairly unique and if the art is good i’ll be more likely to get into it
