February 2024's Writer Support Thread

Thank you so much! It was fun to write and I’m so glad people have enjoyed it.

This is a challenge for most artists: writers, musicians, etc. I’ve self-published 5 books since 2012 and though the people who have read them have responded well, my audience has been quite small overall. When TMP came out, the response was far better than I’d hoped. HC/CoG has a much larger audience than I think I could drum up elsewhere. I hope that audience will continue to grow and be open to a wide variety of stories so yours and others can be successful here. However, if you branch out and find something else that works, I’ll cheer you on. There are many paths to success. I’m curious, though, where people would find a bigger audience than what’s offered here…unless it’s fully independent and they’re able to find enough fans on their own. Dealing with the business and marketing side of things isn’t something I want to do, personally.

I have three other game concepts I’m sitting on, two of which I think would be best for CoG and one for HC. The CoG pitches are darker/more violent than TMP and the game I’m currently writing, and have slow-burn romances rather than high spice from the get-go like my HC games. I hope people will be interested in those, should they be greenlit, and that I can broaden my offerings under the CoG/HC labels. We shall see.
