Surprise LGBT characters

Goodbye I enjoyed picking your brain as someone in marketing. Maybe one day we will talk specifically about how books are marketed, acquired, and what dictates their success in the industry.

and maybe some day you will actually stop double speaking and actually have a conversation, instead of affirming one thing and then denying it later

It possible to cater to audience without pandering to audience.

I would think this was one and the same? Pandering does mean to cater to? Or maybe we're working on different definitions.

But yes, I agree, someone can love the life out of their job. I do love mine!

I do think we're talking about the split between passion Literary works and Commercial fiction, which I guess makes sense.

[IdiotWithPencil]

Me saying it can be both. Something can be both commercially successful and culturally significant.

Most thing are in entertainment, mostly what's succesfull is culturally relevant since it's what's most popular and what people start copying

Lad, I do my thing, and what I get out of it speaks for itself.

Maybe what I'm doing doesn't work, and I am just "lucky", and I am glad to fall into luck 33 times over.

[saintc]

Hey, it is what it is!

[IdiotWithPencil]

you know you act pretty smug for somebody who barley cracks 300 views per chapter almost remind me of my first comic in DA that cracked 2k and I thought that was praiseworthy hehe

ah to be young again

[saintc]

This is not my main platfrom, lad. This is my play site. LMAO.

Pandering is giving what audience want without giving them what they need. It fanservice. It making certain ships canon. It not addressing the big questions and communicating the big truths.

Commercially-successful am not always culturally-significant. Just compare forgettable blockbusters with cult classics.

[IdiotWithPencil]

oh well excuse me oh saint of the authors, I bet you are making bank in your "main site"
we should all just bow to you and your great insight for you have the true numbers

[IdiotWithPencil]

well cult classics also don't move culture that much, juts look at pi, or fantasia
great cult classics but barely inflential as a black buster like jaws or the little mermaid

Hmm, nah, just doing alright with my million of views, and happy to be on tapas and having received premium novel deal already.

I experiment and cross apply. I do all the things you say that don't work, and I just keep stumbling in the right direction. Quite strange.

[IdiotWithPencil]

I bet she makes bank like I said, though by her own words profit=/=quality XD

[33rdCenturyCaveman]

Hey now, what your favorite cult classics?

[IdiotWithPencil]

[saintc]

Yup. I'm a commercial writer. I write to market.

[IdiotWithPencil]
