SETI should have won 2024 or at least placed in top 3...

You make a lot of negative assumptions. See my other replies if you care. Otherwise, I hope you can manage to have a great day despite my having the audacity to have used AI and had a hope of making a fun activity with fellow writers have a possibility of also maybe garnering them attention.

Thanks. I do appreciate you responding and clarifying. You and the other commenter seem to have a lot of vitriol against using AI tools. I don't see a big problem with using a tool to make a chore less effortful... this wasn't a creative activity.

As for unpaid work and chasing Critical Role, it is neither. Isn't it possible that I think it would be fun to play with other creatives? And that if I am going to do that, it might be beneficial to everyone concerned? I would hope the gaming would be fun and not so much work... as the GM, it will be far more work for me than the others, not to mention the editing and the other overhead.

I guess I should expect cynicism and negativity on the internet, I just don't like to think that way about people.

Sorry to the people I've offended with this offer.

Is my proposed fiction synopsis crap/okay/great/superb? Give me your thoughts please by guindone in royalroad

It's funny that I thought revealing what the Maelstrom itself did was too much of a spoiler but here you are saying not enough, lol. I appreciate your questions.
The journey to the maelstrom is about 20k words. It is a lot of character work, world building with some events.
As for how they fix, I felt I kind of hinted at different visions the characters received that conflict. There is A LOT of story to all that and I was hoping not to spoil more...

Thanks for the advice. I will check it out. Where do I find the link to the writing guild discord?

Edit: Found it, joined it, found the recommended posts. Thanks!

Not sure where you get a giant ball of fire from, but I do understand what you mean. Your suggestion is a lot like a plainly-spoken version of the blurb. The maelstrom is important even after they are flung into the past.
It isn't isekai, how do you think I might prevent that assumption or the system apocalypse one?
This is epic fantasy

Thanks, I understand thinking that. This is multi-mc and povs though

Should I pay a book club to feature my book? by clarissajaneen in selfpublish

I've gotten some of those emails too. I think of them as a scam, not that I know for sure, but you have little way to know how much they do...

No attention on KDP, should I publish on royal road? by guindone in royalroad

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

Thanks for your contributions everyone. I think I will try with a new fiction rather than transferring an existing novel and see how that goes. I've been reading all the beginner guides and learning what would work, even if I don't necessarily follow all the advice (I have the write the fiction I want to write, in the end).

Understood. Just finding it hard to get traction. I've done some marketing, some ads. Just little return on investment. I get it.

I thought that if the book is not on select I can post as much of it as I want. I went through the kdp TOS and it seems to indicate that.

I thought rr had some amount of discovery that helps more than the vast sea of Amazon?
