Probably shouldn't. Cause y'know... the carbs!

Promotion? What's that? Can I eat it???

Okay. I am sure we can all agree this thread has reached its final destination. Please disembark the train and vacated the lanes as soon as possible in a calm, orderly fashion. Don't forget to stop by the gift store on the way out.

You know this discussion has gone too far once I start getting mentioned XD

There are no fixed criteria besides the genres you are writing, the audience you want to reach and the frequency of your posts. Frequency is least important however trying to post 5000 word chapters daily for a year is a fast way to burnout, so practice moderation. Other than that go wild. This...

the synopsis is a simplified generalisation of the focus of your story. It's a chance to tell your reader what to expect in a way that you consider appealing. No matter how you write it, you will never appeal to everyone. There are also many now who just look at the tags and ignore the synopsis...

I hear the wonder stuff did miracles for eminems career xD

hmm. it rarely occurs and works even less so. but I suppose whenever something makes the world collapse from under my feet. nothing quite like finding a new place to live when your mother gives you a week before she kicks you out of the house. same for getting and keeping a job >.>

bingo, not a fan of the romance genre for similar-ish reasons. I prefer stories with plot and content that contain romance, as compared to a story where the plot and content is solely the romance itself.

harem, smut, dense characters, naive protag, yaoi (common enough xD) I dislike harem because its "fictional harem" that has no relation to what a harem is in reality and the complexities of maintaining one.
