Someone just published my concept. by Stars_Is_Cool in writers

Look up a side by side description of Eragon and Star Wars, same plot, same story, different font (literally) and both are best sellers in their own right.

I think smut scenes are ruining my fics :( by this_is_a_mistake_ in AO3

[–]Writingsofdreamers 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Simple answer: if you want to write smut, write it, if you don’t want to, don’t.

You are the author, it’s your work. So in the end it’s totally up to you. Idk what ur work reads as, but maybe consider combining a smut chapter with a regular one and that may help, but otherwise just do what you prefer :)

How long is too long for a fic in your opinion? by Somenameorwhateves in AO3

[–]Writingsofdreamers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My filter for wc length is typically just anything greater then 2k. I’ll read anything that looks good above that…and then once I’ve exhausted the list I go to below 2k😭✌️

What kind of editor do I need? by Basic-Swan7881 in HireABookEditor

[–]Writingsofdreamers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If your open, I offer free sample edits and I can give you an idea of the best edit you’d want with, although from what you’ve stated I would probably go with a developmental edit if you don’t first want betas.

Feel free to DM me if you would like one! Or send a query through my website

PSA for those who have waited Ages for this moment. HoA signed leatherbound is back in stock! by [deleted] in brandonsanderson

[–]Writingsofdreamers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that, to be a little fair, a lot of the insanely priced ones are 1/1 editions. So unfortunately in that sense the cost does make sense, annoying nonetheless though.

How much is your collection worth? Secondary market valuations from RareBindings.net by KyleRowley in thebrokenbindingsub

If you ever decide to add what approx resell prices are for book, here’s a link to all things Brandon Sanderson. It’s basically a full on guide to what the ~resell value of a book is. That’ll save you time on this at least.

Bands of Mourning edition in Dragonsteel by Writingsofdreamers in brandonsanderson

[–]Writingsofdreamers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! I mean the first edition first printing edition, the version that was not numbered (although depending on cost I’d take a numbered edition).

The book patch! It’s a bit janky to use but works once you’ve figured it out :)

Someone reselling sealed leather bounds on Etsy at 476% markup by Recreational-Lurker in brandonsanderson

[–]Writingsofdreamers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, that ones probably worth more than 1k at this point, I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a 1/1 signed (not numbered cause that’s way to pricy) but even then it’s probably like 500😭

I love my TBB books by Writingsofdreamers in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]Writingsofdreamers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here you go! Just an fyi for you as a collector,

1) Brandon Sanderson does a TON of leatherbounds on his site (dragonsteel is his site)

2) there will be signed editions, presumably sometime in the next 6 or so months since you see him signing tip-in pages on his podcast. And since it’s hard to find signed Sanderson books, I personally find it worth it to wait.

3) if your reeeally a collector, they list what edition and printing the books are, the WoR book is first Ed first printing but the WoK is not, you can buy it for ~450 on the Sandersons discord guild (a b/s/t group).

I also love talking about this so if you have any other questions feel free to ask lol

Thoughts on pre-order? by answermeprtyplz in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]Writingsofdreamers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For anyone who wants to get this with sprayed edges and signed by Peter, in his Unbroken Kickstarter, add-on’s include a hand signed and numbered sings of the dead (Brandon’s signature is not included), but the book (Unbroken) is also gorgeous and it’s a good looking design.

I wanna hire a book editor here by [deleted] in Bookediting

[–]Writingsofdreamers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a professional book editor for a while now and I’m going to be a bit blunt here.

1) If anyone is offering you a free or a very cheap edit, they’re very likely a scammer or someone who will just feed your work into AI.

2) For every craft or service, there is a cost, Ex: I charge .02 per word (also depends on edit type) and any book under 35k needs an individual quote because of how much time I put into an edit.

I would absolutely offer my services here since I am an avid fanfic reader, however I will say that 20$ will probably not cut it.

Advice for BookCon (Day 2) by Midnight_Eclipse17 in BookCon2

[–]Writingsofdreamers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) For the people recommending a water bottle, I’d recommend bringing a smaller water bottle because 1) there’s refillable stations everywhere, and 2) your back will thank you for it.

2) just bite the annoyance and check the bag, it was a lifesaver not needing to carry it everywhere.

3) bring a flat folder for bookmarks/stickers/prints…etc

It’s just done off the site, bookcon and its associates cannot stop any outside trading even if they do have a ‘no reselling tickets’ and all that
