How many times have you had a new cover made for one of your books? For me, The Slayer and the Sphinx holds the record with six covers for a two-book series. The first one was commissioned by Kory Bing, artist of the webcomic Skin Deep. But her prices were really high, and the art wasn't the...

I'm having trouble naming something. I need a male first name that sounds cool and old fashioned. Something that sounds intimidating and fits a Victorian-esque title like Lord [Firstname], like Tiberius, Darius, or Varek. Nothing made up, real first names only. Any suggestions?

Up until a few years ago, I used to spend every October working at one of the local haunted houses. Then adulthood got in the way, and I just didn't have the energy to spend my days working a full time job and my nights scaring people in a hot rubber mask. It was volunteer work, with the money...

About half an hour ago, I got messaged by an obvious spam bot. I blocked them, but continued to receive DMs from them afterwards. Blocking someone should prevent them from communicating with you at all.

What if every magical creature you'd ever heard of was real, driven into hiding by an army of violent zealots? This is reality for Sarah Heisen and Porter Collins. Sarah is a sphinx living a life of luxury in her family's mansion. Hidden from all danger, but shut off from the world, she wants...

Sorry for posting two threads so close together, but this is kinda piggybacking off my other one. I was thinking about what it was that drew people to the harem genre, and the obvious answer is that it's pure wish fulfillment. I'm fine with wish fulfillment, and think it's a key part of...

So I'm listening to the Dungeon Diving 101 audiobook. I'm trying to get as wide of a reference for popular litrpgs as possible as I write my own, but I've never been interested in the harem romance genre. That's probably why I completely and totally failed to identify with the main character...

I'm not the kind of author who throws a tantrum about negative reviews. It comes with the territory. That being said, a certain someone left a negative review on Skinwalkers before I saw his thread and was able to block him. This certain someone recently caused a stir here in the forums for...

An old PSP game called Jeanne D'arc was rereleased on PS5 about a year ago. I never got to play it back when I was a spazzy teenager running on pure ADHD, so it's nice that it got ported over to a newer console. It's probably the most basic TRPG I've ever played. If that's all there was to it...

A few years ago, I got closer to being professionally published than I ever had before when a literary agent asked to see the full manuscript of Henry Rider: Clown Hunter. They ended up rejecting it, but they gave me some pointers for future submissions. One of those pointers was that you should...

What has a better chance of succeeding on sites like this and RR? Having one story that updates 3+ times a week, or two stories that only update once or twice a week each?

I hate when I come up with a new idea for the book I'm writing, but for it to make sense I have to introduce it earlier in the story. So I go back, find the perfect spot to insert a new chapter to plant the seed for what's going to happen later, and then...oh, right. I just completely screwed up...

When you're reading a fight scene, what's the most important ingredient when it comes to making it satisfying and memorable? For me, it's movement. This is probably my inner Fanderson talking, but the more the characters are able to move around, and the more ways they have of moving around, the...
