The wild thing is that florida man is just a meme. People do stuff like that everywhere. Florida (and Missouri) just have sunshine laws that say everything the government does is available to the public (including all arrests). Rest easy knowing your neighbors could be a florida man.

You die little deaths each day until you build up an immunity. Easy.

The guide gave me some things to think about. On principle, I still stand behind the idea that if you're using a free website to test the waters with a story, and you intend to move it to amazon KU, then you should put that in the description. If you are sold a car with "Free oil changes for...

Gotcha. I've never even considered a publisher for mid level stuff, and with self publishing, I wouldn't.

The other things don't require you pull your series though, only the Kindle Unlimited contract requires that (as far as I know, fact check me on that). Web novel functions differently, agreed. I just meant as an example of toxic environment for writers.

I think you need to explain. If you have a publisher, then they would almost certainly require that you do not publish on KU, because they are your publisher, and would lose money.

Yes, few make it there. It's easier to make a point about it for the big names though, as they're the ones who are pulling in millions of views. The way KU works, as far as I understand is that in KU there are all these books. Then there are lets say, 1 million paid users at $5. Amazon takes...

Yes, just basic editing doesn't count. A proper rewrite where you fix accidental plot holes, move events around, streamline, add stuff. It is indeed rewriting a whole story with a good outline to start. You know, how big name authors do it. They write the whole story 3-5 times before they...

My (rudimentary) understanding is that it is strict, but not that strict. A full rewrite makes it fair I believe.

As a writer, I personally find it to be scummy. Everyone needs to make money, they have reasons. If you made patreon money already from a story, and you're not actually changing it in any way, then maybe don't pull the story to put on KU. Yes, maybe I'll make less money because of this, but I...

KDP is print on demand. Basically, 550 is a limit of the printer machines they have that print the book when someone clicks buy. This is indeed a hard limit. The only way to make it one book is to go to a publishing company and convince them to take on your book instead. Best of luck Paul...

Fanfic is a black hole of questionably legal content. It basically only exists so long as the copyright owner doesn't know about it. The second money gets involved it is even more troublesome. The better way to build up your worldbuilding skills and writing, imo, is to play ttrpgs (d&d, pf2e...

Always backlog. It's just better. It's better for your mental health as a writer. It's better for your reader's experience. It results in better quality chapters. Don't succumb to being a dopamine junky. Your story and readers will suffer.

Finding this thread has been a real joy. :blob_uwu:

There, I fixed that one for you.

Demons are *Successful* Communists.

I fall just about between 2 and three. Just depends on what I'm writing about.

Cursing within the writing itself has no place. If a character is cursing, then it just depends on context. Usually it accentuates extreme circumstances. For instance, a character may curse when they see someone die for the first time. They should not, however, curse after they see their...

You mean like a demiplane? That's what they are in D&D/Pathfinder. That's generally the magical term for a controlled, created, extra-dimensional space. Edit: Or I guess even just "extra-dimensional space".
