I don't know, some of the AI assisted stuff is getting popular and reads well. Makes me feel like I'm handicapping myself. I've seen stuff getting into the high fifties of chapters now. Granted, lots is terrible and lazy, but some really know how to get the most out of AI by combining their own...

@madkin read Help! or Warning:

🐂

@Makimaam They don't need to hit trending, the established stories and authors will tend to have an advantage there and I'm fine with that. AI stories just need to overgrow the market like weeds. Also, it's going to become impossibe to tell the diference between AI and the best humans soon. As...

Which do you prefer? 1. Light modern fantasy that is gender bender. 2. Dark isekai fantasy with violence, experimental structure, an evil Demon Queen and dungeon crawls. 3. Modern isekai fantasy with two human girls becoming inanimate objects.

@Madkins your stories have fairly interesting titles, covers, and premises but your synopsis style is a turn off. I've seen really good work get nothing. I've seen formulaic AI churn get lots. I added your stories to my reading list. That's all I know so far. Go to @Tempokai for help on your...

I appreciate you. You may hype my stories, but only if you honestly feel they are worth the hype. I'll hype yours as well.

I'm bad at getting around to self promotion, because that shit is demoralizing.

Just a ko-fi. I'm only starting to set that up. I haven't rushed because it will be predictably empty anyway.

The only reason I want revenue is to be able to write full time, but I don't think I'm good enough to reach that point.

Even if I don't make money, I want my work to get attention. The attention economy is brutal and I don't measure up. Granted I got more attention than I originally expected, thus I've lasted three years. But now I'm stagnating and effort isn't equaling results.

My only payment is reader attention, which is very sparse.

I have revenues from writing totaling a six dollar check I never cashed years ago.

No, I have another full time job. I simply sink almost all my spare time into writing to try and make it work before I get downsized.

1. I can continue as I am, pounding my head into a brick wall. 2. I can quit writing to pursue an actual life. 3. I can bend to the tech gods and become a cyborg writer. I gave it three years, but it just hasn't worked out. No decisions yet, just things I need to consider.

Well, I gotta earn a living somehow if I want to feasibly continue writing at even my current pace. I'm sinking too many hours into a dead hobby that is leaving me broke, ridiculed, and isolated when I could pursue more lucrative options.
