If you ever get a comment on your fanfiction like this, do not sign with them, not fan-based works, not original content. They are not a scam, but they are predatory in several ways (e.g payment schemes, copyright liability, content ownership rights). It may seem like being scouted by a big company as a fanfic author is a dream come true, but that is what they take advantage of.

Stay safe!

incidentally, if anyone has any hot tips on formatting ghost to make it work for webnovels in a similar way that i've done on my website, i would love to hear about it.

i.e. i've got my homepage set up to show different serials, you can click to get to the table of contents that i made, and then all the chapters are listed in order and you can navigate forward and back on them. and you can see a cool cover to make it look nice maybe. most blogging software... does not have a way to do all that out of the box. 😔 maybe if i used a theme intended for 'docs' instead of a regular blog or magazine type theme? i'm just spitballing here, i'm feeling Suddenly Motivated to find a solution better than the absolute hackjob of duct-taped together plugins i've made with wordpress.

i know ghost has built-in membership/paywall functionality also, which would let me drop memberful which i would also like because patreon bought them and i don't trust like that. and maybe users could subscribe to different webnovels like newsletters, which would be some pretty basic shit i'm not doing.

#original #if you know web devs that aren't hacks and frauds feel free to boost this in their direction #i would for real pay money for a theme designed for webnovel publishing out of the box and i don't think i'm the only one #note that if i did any of this i would of course port over all my users #tragically i would use all my fake kudos but that's fine actually

DOKJA. KIM.

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO KIM DOKJA ❓

it's been a huge loss for the int'l orv fans *on the verge of tears*

just imagine dokja kim's narrative when he reveals that he often says, "I am Joonghyuk Yoo," for about a decade to survive his shitty life who the hell is Joonghyuk Yoo, Big Bro Joonghyuk, Mister Yoo?$!$?

#orv #the euphoria of a publisher finally licensing orv in english for both the comic and webnovel #versus the despair of the erasure of nuances and honorifics coming true IN PRINT #winning at what cost #the webnovel translation already managed to handle the difference in address between western and asian characters #so why can't the ize press do that when localizing orv i just wanna ask

[foralleternityidiot]

New problem unlocked: seven seas entertainment doesn’t publish danmei fast enough for my tireless consumption

#from me who never reads more than a book a year #I can’t believe I finally found my reading niche #and it’s so limited and slowly published #(and no I won’t read on a device so webnovels are out) #I don’t want to start anything that isn’t finished yet but most still have months before the final volume is published #mdzs #tgcf #svsss #2ha #sha po lang #yuwu #qian qiu #zhen hun

[rusquared]

FASCINATING. three universities near me have copies of the orv prints (and two even have the manhwa physicals???) but NO ONE has s class or solo leveling or lcf????

#im genuinely so curious now #who the fuck suggested orv at these libraries??? why orv and not any other very popular published webnovels????

[myobsession]

when will a publishing company pick up lotm and give me physical books i can buy???? i've been waiting for 6 years, please!

#lotm #lord of the mysteries #please someone hear my cry #webnovels are getting picked up now but lotm is always missed #i always put lotm in the surveys #we have a decent sized fandom i promise #i will buy even if you have 30+ volumes like the thai vers #it's not longer a want but a need #release the series before the donghua comes out!!! #or like it's okay if it's right after but it needs to be published! #i beg

I'm in the middle of prepping to move our book over to Ream, which collects writing into books. As a result, I've been creating covers to use for this. It's been a bit of an interesting challenge, trying to take the original cover I'd made and then build on that in a way that fits with the styling, including the colors, font, and feel.

For reference, here's that first cover:

Two of the covers I needed to make were to have parents for the world building materials and for the non-fiction essays we've been writing. I used the orange and a circle motif to try to keep that visual language, while also trying to capture the travel book and pontificating look you see with these kinds of books.

This is also an opportunity to start including periodic side stories, so I needed a parent there. For this one, I reworked one of the backgrounds that I'd made for the comic, trying to communicate the idea of discrete separate sections. Something inviting and warm, but without locking the stories too much into being about a specific person or time/place.

And lastly, well, moving to Ream means learning to speak the local language. I had to do some research to make this one accurate, but I think it came out okay. So, um, here, it's abs.

Heaven Official's Blessing

Is it surprising I giving you another #MXTX related review? Nope! Perhaps it's the Heaven Official's Blessing. Perhaps I'm dragging you down to hell-

If you don’t know how to continue living, then live for me. If you don’t know what meaning there is continuing to live, then for now, please use me as your reason to live, and treat me as your pillar to support you in life.

not trying to be mean but honestly any sentiment that's like "[non-Traditional form/genre of literature*] raised my bar for queer representation so much I can't ever return to Published Books because it's all bad straight stuff/straight people writing queerness/etc" is kind of distasteful to me now. they're there. there's literally plenty** out there now if you just look.

[edit: I want to clarify that I don't think published books are inherently better than any other forms of literature and that I'm not trying to say people should always aspire to have a media diet of only 100% Published Literature (the assumptions inherent in which create a false dichotomy anyway bc plenty of published queer books I've read are fun romps whose themes are incidental to the main goal of being fun)

I just dislike the sentiment I've seen around that mainstream queer stuff is either just subtext or written Inauthentically because it's just. untrue. and it cedes ground to queerphobic people saying the only ground queer stories can occupy is artless smut/popcorn trash with no meaning (which isn't a bad thing to be in and of itself, but it's hardly like queerness can't be artistic)]

The Darkness Outside Us came out last year. Ophelia After All came out this year. The Honeys came out this year. the second book of Burning Kingdoms came out this year. Zachary Ying came out this year. Delilah Green came out this year. This is Why They Hate Us came out this year. And that's just the few on my 'anticipated of 2022' GR shelf (+ The Darkness Outside Us because goddamn that book was good).

it's completely fine to be dissatisfied with how the publishing industry (/mainstream media but I'm mostly read so) is! I also have many gripes with it! but it just feels distasteful to demean Published Books on the whole as if it (/other mainstream media but again see above) is a monolith and diminish the the very queer queer books by queer - gender and sexuality - authors (Ocean Vuong, Akwaeke Emezi, Victoria Lee, CB Lee, Ashley Herring Blake, Shaun David Hutchinson, need I go on?)

it's mostly a massive pet peeve of mine but it just feels kinda. lazy? obviously if something like this's post date was like 2010 or if it was a situation where access not awareness is the problem etc that's a different situation but like. most of the posts/tweets/etc I've seen of this are recent and most of them have the tone of "it's perfectly safe for me to read/watch queer media I just couldn't find any" which

I really started reading queer books in 2020ish. I googled 'queer fantasy' (because I like fantasy) and found a bunch of different booklists, took a few recs and just started there. I found lgbtqreads. I followed a few queer folks on GR (once you look through a certain type of books' reviews a few common names start popping up) and noted down the books they were reading and now I have a bunch of queer books that I need to get around to.

I just. if you're into books there's plenty of queer books literally right there (and recently enough big publishers have started publishing them that they're appearing in libraries too). it's not a dichotomy. you don't have to read Published Books if you don't want to but it's not all straight there goddammit. and this isn't even bringing up self-published books

#*fanfic，d/nmei (chinese bl) etc #<- to avoid maintagging #**still not a lot on a percentage basis of total books published (aside from self pub) yeah publishing industry bad but still plenty #in general I dislike the idea that any category of media is inherently anything #also the phrase 'd/nmei raised the bar for queer stories for me' is a bit funny to me bc. these are webnovels. most of them 80+ chapters #and like from what I've seen most of them are either 100ish or 300ish chapters #I don't think they've really gotten popular until recently either too so I doubt most folks have fully read more than two lol #imagine if I watched bloom into you and said 'anime changed queer stories for me' lol #the specific post I saw that got me to put this into words was this one post on the d/nmei subreddit about how reading western quote 'BL' #feels off compared to d/nmei bc they felt like badly written wattpad fics and unrealistic wrt queerness which I was side-eyeing pretty hard #eh it bothered me for a few reasons. some of them I think are fair - the ones I made this post for #some of them I'm not sure is fair which is why they're in the tags #specifically that the specific post reminded me of the stereotype of the straight girl completely uninterested in the messiness and #complexities of queerness or exploring queerness at all (unless it's aestheticised suffering) and just wants to see pretty boys together #but I'm not sure how fair that is because I'm not transmasc and I'm not mlm lol #anyway yea lol #my rambles #queer stuff #media #10n

'Oh,' says Don. 'You love him.' 'I don't love him-' starts Andrey, but Don interrupts. 'You don't love him in a fucking kind of way, you love him like a knight in those books Cameron won't stop talking about,' Don says. 'You, like, would do anything for him, but it sucks because he hasn't given you some kind of token acknowledging that. The man is breaking your heart.' On the other side of the couch, Cameron lets out a low whistle. 'If he wasn't our boss, we could key his car,' she says. 'Smash the headlights in,' agrees Don solemnly.

#andrey's gender is Don't Fucking Perceive Me btw #not featured: saul and devon #this means nothing to the scene btw. bc i do not talk about this story bc it is for My Entertainment Only #unless i actually finish it and then i might publish it as a webnovel for fun #saul and devon are dating but it's mostly for fun. devon breaks it off when she realizes that saul might have something for don #that goes Beyond Just Fun. which is all devon is interested in. saul's got complicated feelings about that! because fun is safe! #there are no real world risks in fun! #and don. he's just like. doing his thing. if you focus hard on what your job is the existential dread of the universe cannot reach you!

actually, speaking of books but not in the notes, i was in the back looking at tuesday sos releases and saw that r. f. kuang's (babel, the poppy war) new novel, yellowface, is coming out on the 16th

and i am super curious to see what like the cnovel and kdrama and sea diaspora etc etc readers in my fandoms will think of it

interested to see xiranjayzhao's take especially

#after that horrific mess with the white chick writing from the 'perspective' of a mexican immigrant #from the publisher trying to brownwash her in her bio and articles to the barbed wire decir on the cake at her release launch #i just no longer trust publishers trying to be 'diverse' #but it's r.f. kuang and babel is genius so the people talking it up are likely correct #but i feel like the subject matter really does hit right at the crux of a lot of issues in especially #in “bl” webnovel and manga/manhwa/donghua fandoms where there's a growing tide of western/white/i-fans #even if she purely sticks to the workings of the american publishing industry i feel like #points about appropriation and proper crediting will still be very relevant within fandom
