I've never heard of Salvos, so I cant make any comment as to their reach. I feel like I need big reach for a while in order to reach a place where the coast happens without me as an author continuing to hammer it every day. The fics I'm thinking of in the Ranma fandom do that. Where like, every...

I'm not mad when people don't tell me what I don't want to hear. I'm mad when they tell me not to bother trying and I'm stupid for thinking there's a prayer. That is not being a supportive, kind or caring community. I do all of the reader interaction stuff you mentioned and more. Hell, I...

I see that it's a near impossibility. I know that. I'm not an idiot. But I have to ***try.*** I'm not willing to resign myself to giving up until I know I have done *absolutely everything I can.* So I am asking for suggestions of literally anything within my power to do, and yeah, I'm getting a...

Not really interested in your analysis considering you've been trolling me all day.

Yeah. But it may well be that it is - and if so, before I resign myself to impossibility, I want to pull every lever and flip every switch I can so I can know I left no stone unturned trying.

I currently post daily on Royal Road, Scribble Hub, AO3, Fanfiction.net, Wattpad, Webnovel, Inkitt, Neobook, QuoteV, Spacebattles and Sufficient Velocity. With chapter links daily on multiple discords, Twitter, BlueSky, and Tumblr. This is my first post on this forum, so I hadn't set up my...

I work two full time jobs and put 35k words a week into this. There is no time for something else. Besides - as you may have noticed from my username - writing something else mainstream won't easily link up with what I do fannishly. I've seen it happen with SEVERAL other Ranma fanfictions...

It is. In 1987. Part of why I am trying to do this reboot NOW is because they're rebooting the anime starting this week.

You've said it four or five times now. Your message is received. Thanks. Alternatively: No.

Honestly? I've been thinking about this a lot today: * To be one of the most-frequently *recommended* stories in Ranma spaces, so that new people coming into fanfic (especially new folks coming from the anime reboot) continue to discover the story. So that it becomes "a classic" that routinely...

I do pretty much all of this. People are looking at the first story and judging my posting schedule, when I was trying to get caught up with AO3 and FFN where I had been posting much longer. I post one chapter a day pretty consistently - I recently reached the end of the book and need a few days...

I drop one chapter every day, usually.

Feel free to check for yourself.

Which all hide the fact that they're fanfics up front. And whore some of the biggest fandoms in existence. I am willing to bet none of the trending fics on there are written such as to appeal to and welcome in people who are not fandom-aware.

What fandoms? Oh. MCU/Star Wars crossover. With blatantly stolen AI art. Why not?

Sure! I'm already cranking out 40,000 words a week, what's another few thou? When platforms have methods for promoting stories outside of the tag search, and deny fanfic authors from using them, then yes, they are denying us opportunity. That's a freaking fact. "How do I market a story?"...

Way to be helpful *after* 9 posts being holier than thou.

And what about a series of books with 1M words where each one has meaning? What bothers me is that I truly believe the story *can break out* of the Ranma bubble *without* filing off the serial numbers, if I could get people to give it a chance. And it's maddening that the platforms are...

And as I said numerous times, my intent had been to do 3 chaps/week after giving people just enough to hook onto at first. If it's actionable, and not just "don't write the story you wrote" or "don't want more than you have".

Well, that's off the table for me. I need to figure out how to maximize what I have.
