Your own book? Maybe you should leave the 1 star on there, and see if it works for you the way it works for @K5Rakitan

And automatic weapons and chain saws for the "rending" part...

Does that translate to "John Jacob Jingleheimer Shmidt"?

OK, I know a lot of writers who consider this a VERY bad idea (have seen people complaining about it on SubStack for a few days now) - two of the biggest gripes professional writers have against "millennial authors" are a tendency to shovel in "ironic humor" everywhere, and a tendency to use...

I would pick an existing game, if you haven't already, and file the serial numbers off (rename the races and tweak some attributes if you go with, say, Warcraft or Neverwinter Nights or something like that; maybe make the game's name a pun that fans of the game you're using will get but others...

Eh, you can get away with wilder titles for comedy. Two of the older Star Trek novels, by the same author IIRC (I think John Ford but it's been a while since I saw my copies), were the super-serious Faces of Fire (one of the coolest takes on Klingons before the mid-point of TNG) and the...

It's more of a downvote than a blacklist. They suppress ones that are unlikely to make money for them and push ones that are. Simple commercial logic, even if a bit underhanded.

She's the treasurer for Modern Doll Collector's Inc. I used to be their Webmaster until someone who knew what they were doing (and makes and collects dolls) turned up two years ago.

Ah but what you have there is a simple Title (Accessory to War) and a kind of cool but lengthy subtitle (The Unspoken Alliance Between Astrophysics and the Military")...

Vampires are not always undead though - not only do you have weird aberrations like Dr. Michael Morbius (Marvel Comics and a forgettable movie), but some "species" of fictional or mythological vampires are living creatures (for example, the Great Vampires from "Doctor Who: State of Decay" CREATE...

Ah, so you want threading in the forum, kind of like a Reddit post? Might be best to take specific diversions out into a separate thread if of general interest or into DMs if not just to simplify things.

There already is a "Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down" option on comments on stories, at least on chapters. Haven't seen any overall comments on an entire book so not sure if it exists there too?

I was going to suggest "Some bizarre Lovecraftian thing" - like a Shoggoth or member of the Great Race of Yith or something. Cthulhu is the High Priest of the Outer Gods, an alien being who ... well, does not think like us. Dreams to Cthulhu (and his ilk) are kind of like cobblestones for them...

My favorite take on healers (though I don't use them as often as I should) is the Empathic Healer. They cannot cure conditions on others, only on themselves - BUT they can take those conditions FROM others. "Oh, you broke your arm? I can recover from that in five minutes - let me take it from...

I like titles that kind of stand out, even if they don't tell you anything about the story. Not sure about here, but I know on some other sites that a lot of the longer titles are translations (sometimes two or three characters in an Asian language winds up being a paragraph in English it...

Kind of partial to the Machine "reincarnates" as human idea myself - or maybe something like Metropolis where the machine becomes a human without any reincarnating involved.

Unless I misread it, they have two options: Direct Sale of individual items (which can be a "pay per update" or a one-time sale on an NFT, or a commission, or anything really) or Subscription (which you can set to various tiers if you're ambitious). Ko-Fi does "donations" as subscriptions, as...

Never heard of that one. Sounds more like what I need too... thanks!

I'm pretty much in the same boat - except I know that, for a few months, I WILL be able to uphold a standard (may have to change days for uploads but otherwise). Keep waffling on activating my Patreon (have it set up and ready to go but have not yet pulled the trigger - also heard about a...

Sounds like a problem that has also been plaguing American comic books for at least two decades. Especially when weaker or lazier writers get hold of massively unbalanced characters like Superman or about half the versions of The Hulk out there.... At least some characters ARE justified in...
