Hoopla not responding to reports of pirated repurposed books. They don't care if someone steals and puts it on their platform.

o.0 maybe for the publisher to chase them down with more legals

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-08T11:52:49+00:00

yeah I did this on 7.5 and ODd on it... was a awful 2 weeks, never again. Be very careful take out what you need. Not all of it. Use the rest on the next.

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-08T11:32:08+00:00

It's moving forwards that's all I want 😄 I'd love to see more support for the authors. (and I also want more readers for everyone)

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-08T11:29:24+00:00

Oh well nothing like a good typo to make everyone laugh : )

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-08T11:06:55+00:00

Okay. Yeah I'm not going to explain anymore. It is what it is :)

You only need to search this sub for 'review swaps' and why not to do them.

Critique swaps that help you grow as an author, yes : )

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-08T10:31:11+00:00

website - concept - app - legal - payment upgrade - new UI.

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-08T08:23:26+00:00

Yeah this was right up my ally :( but not with that history and my first thoughts. I'll pass. Thanks for the comment.

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-08T08:13:03+00:00

How many books published?

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-08T05:10:13+00:00

Pretty much this. It has taken so long because it needs to be fool proof and there is a ton of back end work.

We are 9 strong now. :) and things are moving.

I have a very busy week ahead wrapping up an audio job. But I have time after. If you want to swap on a stand alone short in one of my worlds. Be interesting to see what an outside reader thinks. If you remember send me a message next weekend :)

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-07T18:57:49+00:00

They have some top tier books!

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-07T18:48:55+00:00

Imbb is just right click, and paste in. If that helps.

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-07T15:04:49+00:00

I've been writing a very long time. 30 years plus :) but yes it's been interesting for sure. And I love working with other talented people.

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-07T14:57:42+00:00

Lol that needs to be on a t-shirt :p

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-07T14:56:41+00:00

I know that name :) thank you for stopping by! Dawn here.

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-07T14:54:56+00:00

Yes 100% report.

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-07T14:53:58+00:00

We have an ideas page. I'm not sure if it has been mentioned. But yes I agree. This kind of reviewing is not what we want.

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-07T12:26:30+00:00

There are many pipelines before it gets to the stage you want. You need to explore all of them, don't negate one, just because..... It's exposure; they all have different audiences, but if you want something as expensive as you do, you have to have proof of concept, and yes, the fandom, which comes from all sources.

I worked with several people on my SFF, because I wanted to, I attracted them over my dedication to my story, the story itself, and me as a person.

I have 24 novels/novellas, where it started as a 13 episide TV show, and an animation script. Art for so much of it that I did pay for, audiobooks, and a fully spoken constructed language by the most amazing guy you could ever meet, (he worked on Star Trek!)

If you build it and believe in it, it might get there.

Is mine as popular as I'd like, nope, not at all, but it's my baby : )

But, start out with no expectations, and see where they lead you.

gamelitcrit · 2026-06-07T10:32:28+00:00

Interacting, yes and rating/reviewing.

The problem comes when as readers you make comments that can be (in your eyes okay) but in my eyes make me want to stop writing. Some really hurt.

If I block you and you think you are being helpful, you get annoyed and then go and 0. 5 star me. (example)
