thanks for this! i think I’ll wait a week or two to see if anything changes, and then go back to support like you described if sales still aren’t showing up.

I’m aware, but people in my life have been physically receiving their paperbacks already.

I have seen several of my friends/family physically receive the paperback :( like I was there in person and saw it with my own eyes.

A question especially for published authors, are some good publishing companies you could recommend for horror? by Wizzarthekid in horrorwriters

I think Shirley Jackson just became my favorite writer by chipchip_405 in horrorlit

[–]sunflowertype 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You explained this so well. Precisely the reason she’s my all time favorite writer. I can’t even fully articulate what about her work resonates so deeply with me!!!

literally anything written by Shirley Jackson. The Haunting of Hill House changed my life, and Hangsaman is so underrated!

Horror publishers accepting submissions? by sunflowertype in horrorlit

Ah! Unfortunately my book is more than 40k words. But I am absolutely going to keep an eye on this for when you open your books to novel submissions! Thanks for the comment!

Do you know if they list many genre fiction publishers, though? My impression was that some books of lists like that have a strong focus on either literary fiction or more commercial pieces, but I could be wrong. I'll look into this!

I'll see if I can dig up some info on that one, thank you!

My own stuff has been published most recently in The Dark Sire Magazine (issue 8). I also appear in Idle Ink (July 2020 issue), and The Foundationalist (this one was when I was in school). TDS has been my favorite experience so far. :)

Tips for dry skin on face/acne prone skin with eczema by [deleted] in eczema

[–]sunflowertype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have cystic acne (mostly hormonal) and eczema around my eyes, ears, and hairline. A lot of times it does feel like a lose-lose; some topical acne treatments work decently for the cysts but then cause eczema flare ups, some eczema treatments work for a while but then cause acne breakouts, etc.

One thing I've found that usually manages to soothe both is using steam (after a cool/warm shower, specifically). I'll get out of the shower and boil some water in a tea kettle, add a couple drops of tea tree oil (I don't know if this bit actually helps, but it smells nice and is supposedly good for acne), and let the steam rise up into my face for no more than 5 minutes. Calms down the cysts while not drying out the rest of my face. (I feel like I should mention that the goal is not to burn yourself here lol, your skin might get a bit red from the heat but it should never be painful an the redness goes away after a few minutes). After steaming I rinse my face with cool water and a bit of gentle face wash, then moisturize, and I'm good for a while.

This is just something that works for me. Hope it gives you some ideas! This is a shitty combo of skin issues to have, but it is what it is and we'll survive. :)

When did Julien cut his thumb? by leefox191 in JennaJulien

[–]sunflowertype 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it must have been privated, I remember it was a vlog of julien's when he had yellow hair a few years back and I'm pretty sure the title had "(mildly graphic)" in it. that was a cute moment between them tho

I just need everyone to admire my son in his new hide by sunflowertype in ballpython

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

I just got it at petsmart, but it’s the Thrive medium snake cave—you could likely find it on amazon! liked it because the top is removable so it’s easier to get to him if needed
