5 Tips for Character Development

If you have found some of your recent characters to be flat, or maybe they just don’t feel as real as they do in your head, here are 5 tips to help your characters become the best versions of themselves! Give them a few quirks. Characters, like real people, should have little things that make them unique. Everything from a favorite food or color to a superstition or pet peeve. If you can show…

Fanfiction Authors: HEADS UP

(Non-authors, please RB to signal boost to your author friends!)

An astute reader informed me this morning that one of my fics (Children of the Future Age) had been pirated and was being sold as a novel on Amazon:

(And they weren't even creative with their cover design. If you're going to pirate something that I spent a full year of my life writing, at least give me a pretty screenshot to brag about later. Seriously.)

I promptly filed a DMCA complaint to have it removed, but I checked out the company that put it up -- Plush Books -- and it looks like A LOT of their books are pirated fic. They are by no means the only ones doing this, either -- the fact that """publishers""" can download stories from AO3 in ebook format and then reupload them to Amazon in just a few clicks makes fic piracy a common problem. There are a whole host of reasons why letting this continue is bad -- including actual legal risk to fanfiction archives -- but basically:

IF YOU ARE A FANFIC AUTHOR WITH LONG AND/OR POPULAR WORKS, PLEASE CHECK AMAZON TO SEE IF YOUR STORIES HAVE BEEN PIRATED.

You can search for your fics by title, or by text from the description (which is often just copied wholesale from AO3 as well). If you find that someone has stolen your work and is selling it as their own, you can lodge a DMCA complaint (Amazon.com/USA site; other countries have different systems). If you haven't done this before, it's easy! Here's a tutorial:

HOW TO FILE A COPYRIGHT COMPLAINT FOR STOLEN WORK ON AMAZON.COM:

First, go to this form. You'll need to be signed into your Amazon account.

Select the radio buttons/dropdown options (shown below) to indicate that you are the legal Rights Owner, you have a copyright concern, and it is about a pirated product.

Enter the name of your story in the Name of Brand field.

In the Link to the Copyrighted Work box, enter a link to the story on AO3 or whatever site your work is posted on.

In the Additional Information box, explain that you are the author of the work and it is being sold without your permission. That's all you really need. If you want, you can include additional information that might be helpful in establishing the validity of your claim, but you don't have to go into great detail. You can simply write something like this:

I am the author of this work, which is being sold by [publisher] without my permission. I originally published this story in [date/year] on [name of site], and have provided a link to the original above. On request, I can provide documentation proving that I am the owner of the account that originally posted this story.

In the ASIN/ISBN-10 field, copy and paste the ID number from the pirated copy's URL. You'll find this ten-digit number in the Amazon URL after the word "product," as in the screenshot below. (If the URL extends beyond this number, you can ignore everything from the question mark on.) Once this number has been added, Amazon will pull the product information automatically and add it to the complaint form, so you can check the listing title and make sure it's correct.

Finally, add your contact information to the relevant fields, check the "I have read and accept the statements" box, and then click Submit. You should receive an email confirmation that Amazon has received the form.

Please share this information with your writer friends, keep an eye out for/report pirated works, and help us keep fanfiction free and legally protected!

NOTE: All of the above also applies to Amazon products featuring stolen artwork, etc., so fan artists should check too!

#fanfiction #ao3 #piracy #dmca #pirated fanfic #please signal boost #i'm mad but also laughing that my dmc fanfic is now a 'number one best selling novel' lol #i'm also a traditionally-published author #so this is both hilarious and deeply insulting to me

One thing that I will always love about Mina Harker is how truly important she is in the meta textual context of the novel itself.

We are reading the epistolary novel Dracula because Mina compiled every single diary, letter, newspaper, and phonograph recording of the events at the speed of light with her typewriter. Meta wise, without Mina we wouldn't have the novel itself that we have read before.

#She is crucial to the narrative so hard #Mina Harker the Train Fiend for best character ever #THINK ABOUT IT if Mina didn't make the manuscritps that would become Dracula #We wouldn't have Dracula the novel #dracula daily #dracula #mina harker #mina murray

A Day in the Life of an Author

Every author is different. We are all unique in our writing styles, writing rituals, and lifestyles. I thought I could share mine with you. Maybe it can help you to come up with a schedule for your own work. Or…at least you might see that you aren’t alone in your introverted life. Writing can be lonely. 5:30 AM Wake up and get ready for the “day job.” Most authors have a day job. Even in the…

5 Best Novels Every Book Lover Should Read

It is rightly said that books open doors in our mind, letting us live an entire lifetime and travel the whole world on the comfort of our couches.

Books teach us about genres we might have never known.When we read a book, we step into someone else’s shoes, see through their eyes and visit places we might never otherwise go.

We have jotted down some novels that you must give a read.

The Alchemist

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho has inspired many around the world.The Novel speaks about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids.The story is powerfully simple, inspiring wisdom.

The Kite Runner

The kite runner by Khaled Hosseini is a story of a complicated friendship between Amir, the son of a rich merchant and Hasan, son of Amir’s father’s servant until cultural and class differences and the turmoil of war tear them asunder.

Hosseini shows us a world of ordinary people who live, die, eat, pray, dream, and love, through this Hosseini brings his homeland to life for us in a way that post 9/11 media coverage never could.

Pride & Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice remains one of the most enduring works of English Literature not because we find such rewarding pleasure in watching sparks fly between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, the main character.

Readers embrace the novel because Austen candidly captures the human character with all of its beauties and its imperfections.

Pride and Prejudice is a novel about overcoming cast and class differences, learning to laugh at life even when it’s unfair, and about recognizing that loving someone often means accepting them for who they are.

Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes is a collection of the four novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective 221B Baker Street London. This is where historical partnership between Dr. Watson begins, the archetypal gentleman from the Victorian era & the eccentric, legendary sleuth, Sherlock Holmes.

If you are someone who likes to read detective books then join them as they gather clues, ranging from bloodstains and footprints to cigarette ash and wedding rings and arrive at unusual and surprising conclusions.

The Fault in Our Stars

Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning author John Green's most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.

As funny as it is heartbreaking, we defy you not to fall in love with its main characters, Hazel and Augustus.

Before it's too late, get your hands on these novels books only from Bookswagon at the most exciting offers.

It really sucks that creative people are now also expected become their own marketing team or become experts in business ventures in order to keep making art. Literally cannot think of a group of people less inclined to tedious number punching work than passionate artists.

#watcher #just kinda sucks that a couple of dudes who just wanted to make videos had to become a business in the first place #it also sucks how authors are expected to promote themselves on tiktok #and how they might write one of the best novels in the world #but if they dont have a high enough number of followers #they will never get publised at all #idk just the way art is treated on social media makes me so mad #birdy chirps
