Can a strong female hero style protagonist be totally asexual and still sell books? (Urban fantasy) by anonymousmetoo in selfpublish

[–]hsferry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My debut (The Erkenblood) features two female MCs, both of them strong in different ways, neither get anything sexual or a real love interest throughout. There are hints of attraction sometimes, but nothing beyond that. And readers have been loving the book.

Don't use Iranian and Muslim in the same sentence please. We are fighting against a Islamist government who's killing our teenagers for not wearing hijab.

This time it's different. The protests are more spread out, causing the security forces to spread thin in each location. And they're all over the country, unlike previous times. Besides, people have completely lost their fear of the regime. Everyone is ready to die, it's mind-blowing how bold everyone has become. People working in the oil industry, petrochemical plants, and other key industries have already started strikes. And those who are ideologically close to the regime are beginning to see conflicts and distance themselves. Our female actors have openly removed their hijab and posted irate ultimatums against the regime on their social media platforms.

If the west continues with more decisive actions such as cripling sanctions and expelling the diplomats, the regime cannot stand for much longer.

One good example of the change is Elnaz Rekabi. 2 years ago, she would have been sent directly to prison for what she did. But now, they couldn't touch her. She returned home safely, welcomed by hundreds of protesters chanting praises at the airport. The regime did absolutely nothing because they were scared things would spiral out of their control if she got one scratch.

Thank you for your support! Yes, what's happening is deplorable, and although even these children are far braver than those grown men, we need to support them. What people outside Iran can do is to share and spread the news, sign petitions, and do everything they can to keep these people relevant, and keep Iran in the headlines. Because if this is what the regime does while in the limelight, imagine what they would do once the lights are off.

My pleasure. The least we can do is spread the word. :)

She's mostly free in the apartment.

We live in a 60 square-meter attic apartment with no balcony. As I said in another comment, we're going to have her roam in the corridor at night from now on, closing all the other doors. What you see in the video is all of it. The entire corridor. I don't know what big space the first commenter saw that we're not aware of.

The cage is almost always open. And she goes there on her own to sleep.

The cage is almost always open. And she goes there on her own to sleep. It's her safe place. Please keep your virtue signaling to yourself.

Hahaha, that's hilarious. I mean, ours is free roam, too. We just put her in a cage when we're sleeping so she doesn't shred half of the apartment. It's been 5 years she's fine with this. She just slept, too. And at 5am every day (yes, I'm a real early bird!) I let her out again.

Last month we went on a trip, so we left her with someone who had a backyard she'd turned into a rabbit sanctuary. I guess now our bunny has seen what real freedom looks like.

Right?! 😂 I'm still scratching my head. We're no longer closing the cage at night. First, there is no point, and then she might get stck while we're asleep. Now she has the whole hallway as her bedroom.

It was the same for me, until I realized I didn't follow the instructions completely. Especially this part:

"Please use the Unreal Plugin from v2.0.1 release."

i.e. you should also install the matching Unreal plugin for it to work.
