    Continuance of a old story by a new author

    Sorry, what I meant to say is they probably didn't submit their work to a governing body to be able to sue for damages. That's not to say that they can't do that, however the damages that a plaintiff can is lessened by a wide margin if they haven't sent a copy of their work to a government body...

    Continuance of a old story by a new author

    I doubt they actually did the paperwork to copyright their work. @LaFuta but it would be in bad practice to continue someone else's work without the original authors consent. Because if it does gain a bigger audience than the original author, then they might try to want royalties or something...

    Where should I get a good cover

    Oh, I agree. Having a cover, in most accounts, is better than the default placeholders. But OP is looking for advice on creating a cover. So, I wanted to give them a heads-up about a possible pitfall of they just generate a few images and think they are good enough help boost visibility. I'm a...

    Where should I get a good cover

    Yeah, also there's one thing I would like to add. When creating an AI image, you will be going up against other newbie authors that will pump out a slop image and call it the day. And since most of these images look similar, you will be running into what I call, "Slop Fatigue" where readers will...

    Thoughts on this map? (And the world if you're curious)

    Thoughts on this map? (And the world if you're curious)

    My honest critique. I don't know what you are asking for, but if this is supposed to be ridiculous in the first place, then it's fine I guess. And it does the basics of what you need. I don't see how this will help the reader in the long run when cities, animals, and other strategic landmarks...

    to monetize

    I have more experience with Patreon. When I started, I didn't think anyone would become a member, but I had it up as a donation thing and had only short stories posted there. I was surprised by how quickly I got a couple of members, but they wrote in their exit surveys that they thought they...

    to monetize

    I don't post my work on WN. But I did when I first started off. And I'm going off of memory from other authors who were offered contracts by WN. I think I heard that you get a $500 dollar contact per month, but you have to give the copyrights to your IP to them and you need to pump out 1000 word...
