It was definitely in disbelief at first after writing on Tapas for years, then being given the opportunity. Now, I'm SO HAPPY to have loyal readers who like my stories and want to support 
I'd say determination to make it. I wanted it. Badly. I did my best to write a story that not only I wanted to read but what might do good on Tapas. I spend endless nights staying awake until 2-3 AM getting chapters done. Networking was a big thing. Also, investing in artwork.

I think nowadays... researching what is popular to that platform. There are a lot of competing ones—Wattpad, Webnovel, Ritoria, Royal Road, KDP, etc. Each one is unique (and The Beginning After the End came from Royal Road originally!) with its own tropes and fanfics. Thankfully, what I liked was …
Hi there! This is GiveMeThatBread. I started writing in Community in 2020 during the COVID lockdowns. As of 2025, I now have four Premium novels—won two Tapas contests (TLOT and AF) and my Community novel (The Vampire's Last Omega) turned Premium in 2024. Do you have any questions about how…
