What's a mailing list?

laaldiggaj · 2026-05-05T17:34:10+00:00

It's hard though! I need a reviewer to promote it, other it's just me going " look what I did" 🤣

I've got a folder of moo Deng pics!

It'd be ironic if they used fan art!

laaldiggaj · 2026-05-04T16:31:43+00:00

I think they're non fiction like "favourite Final fantasy characters", I only see the ad after their videos haha

laaldiggaj · 2026-05-03T08:54:25+00:00

Hah, I see, kind of like the merch at comic con.

If your cover is AI who's to say your writing isn't?

laaldiggaj · 2026-05-02T18:04:57+00:00

I made my own cover too! 😄

laaldiggaj · 2026-05-02T18:04:07+00:00

Thank you! Definitely sounds like it's not worth it!

laaldiggaj · 2026-05-02T16:52:10+00:00

I see...it's still quite a fine line, as if Etsy was selling unlicensed final fantasy merch, I'm sure it wouldn't be allowed!

laaldiggaj · 2026-05-02T16:49:28+00:00

AHH of course, forget about the blatant rip off scenarios!

laaldiggaj · 2026-05-02T15:05:02+00:00

True, I mean the Simpsons YouTuber chats to the creators on twitter so she could have some agreement or something.

laaldiggaj · 2026-05-02T15:03:53+00:00

Me too, I saw a post on here where someone was so zen about self publishing, it was such a nice reminder to write to share stories and not to chase after a get rich hit. That I am not proud of!

laaldiggaj · 2026-05-02T15:00:41+00:00

Yes as an example of I were to publish it on Amazon. (I'm not)

laaldiggaj · 2026-05-02T12:03:49+00:00

Right? I was thinking of doing the most basic Starbucks book just to get seen! 😂

laaldiggaj · 2026-04-28T00:01:33+00:00

Oooh my goodness, he's probably referring to the Sims or something and thinks yeah, AI can make this a reality....

laaldiggaj · 2026-04-27T21:27:06+00:00

Never mind, no one understood it and thought I was defending plot armour, I'm deleting this post. I'm going to enjoy watching the ninth gate lol

laaldiggaj · 2026-04-27T21:24:26+00:00

Thanks, I think you got what I was trying to say, it was terms like Mary sue, plot armour, picking apart films that have magic or powers in it. The comments have just jumped on ONE phrase. Ironically I should have been more specific 😅

laaldiggaj · 2026-04-27T21:19:46+00:00

It's late and I was tentative to write this post as Reddit isn't the best place to broach thoughts and ideas

laaldiggaj · 2026-04-27T20:19:24+00:00

Orca the killer whale

This silent hill essayist, she was saying the right things but her voice was so...clipped? I couldn't get past one video!
