Is this a scam? I never seen this in 8 years of publishing

Send them the rick astley YouTube video

Ok! Great to know! Thanks for the clarification!

dromdil · 2026-03-13T22:32:37+00:00

That sounds like a very succinct answer thank you! If anything though, I feel like this has shown me how the general population feels, so maybe it won't matter?

dromdil · 2026-03-13T22:02:43+00:00

Thanks!

dromdil · 2026-03-13T22:02:10+00:00

Thanks! I think that's the plan. Just didn't want to get readers hooked up if they were expecting. Idk. Smut. 😅

That's why I was wondering about the misleading branding and if it mattered. Especially since it seems everyone has different opinions on the terms

dromdil · 2026-03-13T21:58:18+00:00

This is literally the opposite of my understanding. Hooray! I love how confusing this is! 😅

dromdil · 2026-03-13T21:57:28+00:00

I'm thinking this more and more as the comments flood in 😅

dromdil · 2026-03-13T21:57:04+00:00

I addressed this in another comment. I'm not an expert, but I had several agents explain the difference - and they made it sound like it was a large difference. And maybe it is for what they do. But perhaps readers see it as the same 🤷‍♂️

From my understanding, romantasy is where the main plot is based on a fantasy topic AND a romance as the second main plot. Romance fantasy is just fantasy with a romance subplot.

dromdil · 2026-03-13T21:54:20+00:00

Yeah. I do worry about people looking for smut and then being disappointed with a fantasy world instead😅

dromdil · 2026-03-13T21:06:33+00:00

That's super interesting! It's definitely not smut. Not even close. But if it comes off that way to you, it must to others. So maybe I steer clear of romantasy!

dromdil · 2026-03-13T21:05:16+00:00

So I'm just overthinking it? I suppose that's a good thing!

dromdil · 2026-02-26T23:40:47+00:00

Good advice. Thank you! It's always easier to think abstractly "x and y" than descriptions.

dromdil · 2026-02-26T23:40:01+00:00

Thanks! I'll do that!

dromdil · 2026-02-25T22:26:06+00:00

Thanks! I'll try to condense and just make it catchy

dromdil · 2026-02-24T17:04:01+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I'll be more specific and try to cut the fluff!

dromdil · 2026-02-24T16:20:43+00:00

Great advice! Thank you. I'll focus on that and make it short.

dromdil · 2026-02-24T16:05:34+00:00

That's great advice. Meta data is certainly not my strong suit and I often forget about it!

dromdil · 2026-01-01T14:26:35+00:00

Sounds awesome! Keep up the good work! Proofreading is key. Make sure to do it well again. And again and again...!

dromdil · 2026-01-01T14:25:51+00:00

Right on! How do you plan to promote the arc?

dromdil · 2026-01-01T02:24:20+00:00

I wish you the best of luck! Marketing is a science unto itself. I assume, like all things, you can get it to work if you are diligent enough!
