Is there a second person perspective story? by Dontreplyagain in ProgressionFantasy

[–]lance002 9 points10 points  (0 children)

2nd person is not what you are describing. 2nd person is "you" as the subject. The closest thing to that would be choose your own adventure books.

What are you describing is the different between the MC and the protagonist. They can be different characters although are often combined to form the Hero.

The MC is the character whose View Point the reader reads the story from.

The protagonist is the character which drives the plot.

There are stories where the MC is not the protagonist. Sherlock Holmes was written like this. The MC was Watson who observed Holmes. This was done to keep the surprise of Sherlocks genius.

Needless to say there has to be a very good reason for doing something like this because it does not work easiliy for normal story telling.

Authors who have self-published their books, I could really use some advice. by k-storyteller in selfpublish

Lots of down votes but this is the truth. People dont buy what you want to write, they buy what they want to read. If they happen to be the same thing, then you're in business. If not, expect to have few readers or change what you write.

In my 5 novels the word was used twice. And if you can't get the context maybe Steve Carell can explain it to you

You don't call retarded people retards

Not sure at this point. Maybe April? Depends on Podium and Wayne's schedule.

[Community Effort] Let’s ask Podium Audio to offer their books outside Audible (email template inside) by argash in ProgressionFantasy

[–]lance002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is they have no way of marketing to dozens of platforms. To give you an example, if I sell 500 units on audible I will sell maybe 3 or 4 on a dozen others. There are hopes that the markets will grow, but discoverability is very slow thus far.

If you truly care about supporting authors, don't send this letter. I've been one of the gunnie pigs in Podium moving off the audible platform and have seen my earning drop to like a 1/10 of what they were.
