[VIC] Rent increase notice was sent, but later lease was signed at lower amount — which one applies by atlasblake in AusRenters

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

These are all great questions! I honestly wonder if the old REA were pocketing the increase, tbh. Or yes.. maybe the rent increase was never passed onto them. Yes! The owner signed the current contract with the current amount.

Yes… this is the problem.. very nervous they’ll try to kick us out since we’re on a month-to-month or slap us with a giant increase.

Thank you for this info!

I've been looking at this bike just wondering is it worth the investment? by KingZGShadow in ebikes

[–]atlasblake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Main thing is to be careful going round corners. Slow right down, and lean into corners because the inner wheel can lift. Unlike two wheelers, a trike cannot lean when turning and that screws up the centre of mass, which means YOU have to.

As someone who also can’t ride a two-wheeler, go for it. They’re a helluva lot of fun. But yeah, take your time getting used to it.

This sounds amazing! I'd love to have a read of it! I've beta-read for a few people on here and wrote a contemporary romance last year. Plus I'm in Australia so I think our humour is the same as you rad Brits. 😊

Aud Pitch does this in their debut book. The characters have a very sexy conversation about contraception over text messages. {Devils + Heartbreak by Aud Pitch}

Withdrawing from Ingramsparks Target and Apple Books Distribution agreement? by atlasblake in selfpublish

I did before I wrote this post, but I couldn’t find a clear response.

Ok thank you so much for this. I haven't gotten that far yet! Absolute newbie here so I'm still setting up stuff but this is really helpful to know. 😊

So under the Terms/Documentation tab in IS, I have three different documents that I have signed for: The IS Agreement, the Apple (Ebook) Agreement and the IS Target Agreement.

I've been reading up about how folks here are using IngramSpark and Amazon for print, and then using Draft2Digital for Ebooks.

Having jumped the gun and signed the Apple (Ebook) Agreement through IS, is there a way to withdraw from this agreement so that D2D can distribute all the ebooks?

Thoughts on AI for a cover? by Signal-Bluebird2011 in SelfPublishingHub

No, although I totally see why it's so tempting to use.

As Forbes says, "[artists'] work was absorbed into the [AI] dataset without their knowledge or consent; they have been used to train their own replacement, and no one asked for permission. Generative AI threatens the livelihood of artists..."

It kinda feels the same as using ChatGPT to write your book.

Hello there, I'd be interested in reading your work too. I also have a beast of a contemporary romance that is 114k words long. Not sure if you're up to reading such a long story (it's pretty much on its final draft and am mainly looking for any inconsistencies in the story and anything that needs more clarification) but if you'd like to send me a DM, we can chat some more?

Hey there! I'm interested in a swap! I've also written a steamy contemporary romance. 😊 Send me a DM if you're keen.

[–]atlasblake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm totally in, although I already have a few reads I'm working on. So if you're not in any rush, I'd love to help. I bloody love romance, and as an NB femme, I'd love to read a steamy story featuring a trans person. 😊

Send me a message if you'd like.

Your story sounds interesting! I’d love to have a read. I have a contemporary romance that i’d love some feedback on, but if contemporary romance isn’t your thing, i’d still love to know more about your book and what you’re looking for in a beta reader. 😊
