The critics LOVED Phantom Menace. Within one day of its release to the norms, Jar Jar was the most hated thing on the planet, momentarily eclipsing Justin beiber.
Then the critics loved Ep2 because Jar jar was muted, but they forgot ep2 was so unmemorable most people need google to tell you the central villain.
It stands to reason that the studio only allows critics to publish favourable reviews (By the way, books do that with Kirkus and similar reviews).

Luckily there are no due dates in this group, and reviews are always appreciated but never mandatory!
Indeed. The AlphaOmega group's system would appear to be quite stressful. People like me who can go moths between reviews would get booted quickly.

King of the Salves, is it?
Why not Lord of the Lotion or Baron of the Balm?

What's the most logical book to proceed to? Perhaps it makes the most sense to go into to the one about her son?

Marketing will be a time-consuming bitch
for RG it's been harder than writing it. At least writing came naturally. And there are so many weird fly-by-night marketing agencies whispering promises in my ears

Since they are saying "Shi" and meaning "si"... maybe you can get away with spelling it "si". I dunno. Hope a purist can chime in

re "Siburassu"
I'm watching Netflix "Sinbad" a Japanese show. For Sinbad (shortened to Sin) they're clearly saying "Shin".
Maybe Shiburassu isn't that far off

Hi Sol...
This one is relatively minor in the scheme of things, but the option to leave a group has disappeared.
I mean it was always hard to find before but now I just don't see it at all. Maybe an edit devoured it?

hmmm I can honestly say my work will never be "good enough". I'm always going to be pushing my boundaries and if I somehow reach those, I'll push the envelope.
When you say manage structure, are you talking about macroeconomics or micro?

Re: Acts/ Dictates/ Mandates/ Mantle - Amy's Thread (1,905 replies, posted in Fantasy/Magic & Sci-Fi)
I feel your pain about Melody. I have this weird character who's kind of a main but kind of a side. I could delete her and the ending would remain unchanged. I'm usually pretty ruthless with that kind of flotsam. But this character is like *puppy dog eyes* Please don't delete me (or feed me to the slaughter machine (or cut my arms off)).

Re: Acts/ Dictates/ Mandates/ Mantle - Amy's Thread (1,905 replies, posted in Fantasy/Magic & Sci-Fi)
I see you got a drive-by from TW. If it helps any, she didn't understand it was a chapter that has to tie a lot of books / threads together. I think some digression in plot, theme, and (gulp) POV is reasonable. Only other way is to have a character much more charismatic than the others who can carry the scene by themselves.
PS: I still don't see Melody

Re: Social media - do you do it? (24 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I guess I'm wondering who the targeted audience is when you begin a social media platform? Readers of the genre you write in? People within the industry (which would make writing about writing as a blogger seem more relevant). Readers in general? If you write about writing, aren't you just writing to a bevy of fellow writers -- sending tips into the echo chamber? Wouldn't you want to speak to the people you intend your book for? (I ask not to criticize, but to understand how you view the platform's purpose.)
I am trying not to target an audience. My platform's modus operandi is I stay in character.
I check the demographic charts sometimes. I wonder if more than 1% have read the story or they're along for the ride. I'm not promoting as much as creating new free content in a world of re-tweets.

I'm confused about the criminal mastermind partare you saying she's both an AI and a real person who's a criminal or that the two entities share the same alias?
