Food is calling. Have fun, folks.

In three words, how would you describe my story

War, characters, magic

not sure if that's what you're looking for but I'm really bad at summing things up in three words

That's so cute!

It was mostly boys because i made a superhero universe.

And they liked that kind of thing

I have a lot of younger brothers so I totally understand

I read this short story I wrote that was basically the Little Mermaid but instead of mermaids it was deadly basilisks and one of my little brothers was really into it until it got to the romance parts and then he walked out of the room just to annoy me, lol

LOL

Boys

I was living on a reservation and the kids there didn't really get that much entertainment.

I bet they really appreciated your stories

Yeah.

I appreciated the audience

Until I was told I was not allowed to tell my stories by the guy who ran the place.

Honestly war is the best way to describe my story lol

Because the kids liked mine more than his

That’s awful, I’m sorry :/

He was jealous of a lot of people.

He was one of those bosses everything had to go his way and there was no room for adapting

is that way ebtter than shitty amazon?

Baen publishes actual books, and has been around for decades. If you go to an actual bookstore and check the fantasy and sci-fi sections, chances are half were published by Baen. Also, they pay you, not the other way around. LOL

Wait....

you mean

I have to PAY AMAZON?!

Fuck I didn't know that

definitely not using them dumbasses now

LOl I have no idea. I've never dealt with Amazon.

Guess I gotta come up with some good short stories

But a lot of "publishing houses" charge you for the printing, then you have to find people to buy your copies.

dam

makes sense

I wrote a roleplaying game system. I have the core rules, a playable module, and the first three expansion books for it, ready to publish, in printable format.

damn

I mean, the competition for RPG is gonna be tuft considering Dungeons and Dragons exist

Every company I shopped it to declined, because they want people to write *their* stuff, not new systems. So I looked into self-publishing it.

that kinda makes sense, no? charging for printing the books, even if they aren't successful

it's a gamble for them

yup

Not really; there are at least thirty successful game systems on the market.

I only know of DD, I've never heard of 29 others, name 3
