after some thoughts, I decided to move all these stories to www.royalroad.com for the sack of convenience, here is my reasoning:
DeviantArt is completely unintuitive to navigate, especially in the gallery section... I wished they didn't have changed that navigation system from their previous version but nah, they just scrapped all the feedbacks that their users pointed out... exactly like how Microsoft scrapped the feedbacks about windows 8 interface, and it was still true.
www.wattpad.com is... how can i said? very restrictive with the need to accept cookies... and want to monitor all my navigation data... not only that, it make things much harder to opt-out all these hundreds of trackers... and each time i click next, it showed a new load of companies to opt-out and in random order no less. which it's prone to make me do an error by accidentally accepting them what is worst is that i have no way to click "reject all" since it doesn't exist from the site... so, i decided to delete and move the book i made to royal road.
the biggest advantage with royal road is that i have lot of freedom and less data-hungry with their cookies which it's a plus.
the another advantage is this: the possibility to turn it into ebook to publish at various ebook stores like amazon kindle, which it's part of their affiliate of amazon. now that is another plus! of course, i will make sure that my books will be 100% drm-free.
and don't worry, the story will stay here so you will be able to get new chapters but will probably not get edited since it will be done at royal road instead.
Hello everyone! I recently published my book at royal road, for now there is only one part of a prologue that you could read here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/59016/xenoarchologist-book-one-the-mad-king
On a side note, this was a test to see if it was worth to continue with that site.
Ps: i have not yet decided what is the publishing schedule it will be, weekly? Monthly? Not yet decided which one…
hello folks,
It's been a while I haven't wrote anything here, as you might probably noticed, I'm been busy working on a novel based on my characters that I have created since 2016. I was able to complete the first short story book on DeviantArt and worked on the second book but I eventually got stuck because of the lack of ideas or... More like because I had an awful bad moment happening in my family, like the passing of my old granny 2 years ago right before that stupid outbreak of covid-19 happened...
Thankfully, I was able to get back in my creativity, it was hard but I managed to get it back. I started working on some spin-off featuring various characters that take place in between the books or in the past... Or even in the far future that take place after the events of Xenoantropologist cycles (available only on DA because there is no Common Creative license here). And that is where I decided to come at you. I need your helps fixing all my overseen clumsy grammar errors or giving me some feedbacks to improve my writing skills as well making the book more enjoyable and fun to read.
I haven't yet decided to open up any patreon for that purpose because I'm still scared of doing it... But I will certainly do it eventually but no idea when exactly!
the novel I'm working on will tell a story that take place in space exploring the milky way galaxy and their neighbouring galaxies with a crew of 10 peoples of various xeno-species. they will explore the origins of this mad king disease that affect the tall gentle saurian.
So, if you're interested to be a beta reader, I will need people who are young adult and adult that range from 18+ to 40+ since the story contain a fair bit of lewd story. (it was one of the most lewd story I ever wrote too) all you need to do would be to contact me via note and wrote as subject: "beta reader for the mad king" I will then send you a site page that contains the pdf files so that you could read them and give me any feedback you could.
Or you could reply here and I will send you by note the pdf files.
enjoy your day!
PS: I'm going to be very slow to reply because I'm in the middle of moving to a new house since 8th July 2022. I might stay offline for a few days but i will be back toward the end of July. So, just be patient and sorry for the inconveniences...
