...At least, they are according to my mom. Now, how do I convince people on SH to read them? For a long while my focus has been on getting more readers on other platforms, notably RR, but I realize that there are plenty of potential readers here too. What can I do to reach out to them and...

I wasn't expecting to stumble across this. Thanks, I think? It's mostly... I don't know? Years of experience? Something like that! Anyway, thanks!

I can't tell if this is trolling or not.

It takes about 2 weeks more than you think it will. Optimal isn't page lenght, but word count, you'll want to be around 100K to keep readers happy. No, your rights remain your own. Going with Kindle Ultimate (not to be confused with normal Kindle) will sign you up for a temporary exclusivity deal.

New method of doing cities/towns

That one was for a very weird setting where the world was once very, very watery, and then it got hit by an ice-age, with only a few little pockets of civilization left alive. Fun setting, but... yeah, weird. And very much geographically impossible. I don't mind Commissions. I can't really...

Wonderdraft, and GIMP! Seeing as how people liked those... First attempt at making a sort of 'town' map. Bit rough, but it was meant to be a small-scale thing as a proof of concept. This one is strange. It's meant to be a sort of perspective map? Not an accurate one or anything. Call it...

Hah! I was trying for a sort of... fog-of-war effect? Ie: the clouds cover an area the character can't see/hasn't visited.

Map for Dead Tired

More maps! These are older work, a bit rougher around the edges.

Hello! I've been tinkering with maps for about six months or so now, mostly because buy a map from a proper mapmaker is expensive, so I figured I should learn how to make my own. Probably spent more on cartography software and assets than I would have on commissions, but I found a new...

I could be confusing their EULA and their contract. I looked into them about 10 months back, decided to post here instead. Sorry if I was misleading!

I use this name on Amazon. You do need to link to an actual bank account, but that can be spoofed too. Seems like a pretty normal forum. I imagine the Discord is bigger/better, like the RR one? Got a link hanging around?

Do you think they're using their real names? Giving away their real addresses? You can't sue someone who doesn't exist.

Amazon can't. It's illegal. What can happen is that some jerks steal someone's content and post it on Amazon as if it was their own. Recently, some jerks have been stealing stories from Royal Road, but they could just as easily take those stories from Scribble Hub. They grab the story, give it...

Only an advertising affiliate. That's Kana, (one of) the owners of Royal Road. The only affiliation between RR and Amazon is through their advertising program. Amazon advertises books on RR. That's it.

.. What? Can you rewrite that?

Actually, there are good reasons not to post anything there. Their EULA basically implies that by posting on their site, you're giving them your story's copyright. The moment you post, the story no longer belongs to you. That means no publishing it as a novel, no selling the audio rights...

That sounds like a lot of drama I don't need in my life. Anyway, it's getting to be a bit off-topic (not that we had a solid topic to begin with).

I have three stories with LGBT main characters sitting on RR's top 100. Never had so much as a mean comment about it.
