Artists

Okay, I know it's been done to death. but it HAS to have been successful at least once, or they wouldn't keep trying.

yeah, usually when I get a letter that says "I recently came across your story" all I can think of is "Well, I hope you cleaned off your monitor afterwards, that's kind of disgusting"

 

[Paul__Michaels]

You see there's a logical reason for this. It's a text echo. It happens when someone texts something in a ravine

 

[Juia_Darkcrest]

Yeah...got one of those again today.

I just said thanks, then ignored them after they sent their pitch.

I want to toss something sarcastic their way, but I dont want to get some negative feedback in my reviews that I can do nothing about.

Here's a few of mine.

Sadly the scam—I mean artist didn't know the name of my MC.

You know what would be fun giving the scam artists the discord addresses of the other scam artists.

Are they bots or desperate artists?

I'm totally going to steal this, though I might put my own touches on it.

How is it that I never received one of those?

timing. Specifically, if you have your chapters come up during a certain time frame (America between 9 am est and 11 am pst) because that is also the 'golden' time frame for chapters getting attention.

Screenshot everything and then if that happens, report and they will remove it if you can prove it's because of that.

They target fresh releases. The moment I posted a new book, I began getting them. My old stories don't have these bots coming in.

You could...I dunno...boot them from your discord. Or ignore them.

I have one or two there...they are quiet...honestly my whole discord is quiet...not that I put much for extras up there yet.

Heh, they hvae their stuff spread all over, and it's... Juvenile. Your covers are very anime-ish, but they kick the pants out of his stuff.

Update:

Note to self: If you block a user after responding to DMs, they can still DM you.
Hah! Another one, just as I was about to log off.

except... if she's worshipping you, doesn't that make you her REAL idol? False idols are, by definition, not real. Instead, you can become her god. someone to *snerk* sacrifice and tithe to.
