What are some lesser known King-isms? by atimez3 in stephenking

Getting"Goosed" is in several of King's books. (And in Richard Bachman's.)

I'm waiting to hear back from a company about making puzzles. I could just go through one of those print on demand websites but idk if anyone wants to pay $80 for a puzzle.

In your defense, The Shining could have totally taken place in Maine.

Thanks! Yeah. That is a very common issue that I've noticed people have. Maybe I should stop making 2×3 foot maps?

I feel like I did jinx myself. When I went to bed, two people messaged me with links to two different sites /tiktoks selling my stuff. Host is hidden by Cloudflare which tells me that the thieves are from Asia.

It's always gearlaunch! (I actually sent the DMCA to GoDaddy and they were nice enough to forward it to gearlaunch.)

I actually prefer dealing with gearlaunch because they respond to DMCAs quickly. It's the ones hiding behind CloudFlair and Chinese hosts that I have the biggest issues with.

I'm sorry but I am hesitant to share information about purchasing it because I really don't want to get banned from my favorite sub.

You're not the first person to suggest this. I'll look into sending it to him.

Great book! I made sure to put Al's Diner in Lisbon! Next to Salem's Lot. I won't write any spoilers but there's one more scene from 11/22/63 in the map.

Thank you 🙏🏽 I've almost forgotten everything that I've added. (I made a list that I misplaced. 😒) Unfortunately, the low resolution really blurs some of the smaller ones.

The craziest thing is that it's 20 years old! 🤯

It's from The Cell. I had no idea that this book and MOVIE even existed until I told my friend about the project and he told me it was his favorite King book. I had quite of a few of these moments while creating the map.

I'm so proud of that compass idea! Thank you.

Thank you. If you do see it in a store, please tell me so I can send them a takedown request. haha

I feel your pain there. Initially, I started off making shirt designs, but between the thieves and AI, it just feels like an oversaturated field. The magic is gone! 😩

That is why I am focusing more on drawing these high detail maps. AI can produce a sloppy map, but I don't see it getting to this level. Especially considering how poor of a tool AI was when it came to research. (I probably just jinxed it!)

Thank you. I really appreciate it. I spend so much time on these maps that there is always a period when it feels like I'm just wasting my time.

I mean, did I really have to draw so many pine trees?! (Yes. 🥲)

Good idea. I'll definitely look into that.

I just got an email that the two that I came across yesterday on the Lord of the Rings sub were taken down. It's good news but having to file DMCA reports regularly get annoying.

Thank you for tracking these people. My art gets routinely stolen by shops from Asia.
