    Not quite anime, but what about this one? It's another one of my characters. https://menilikdyer.com/assets/images/image02.jpg?v=cecf7fc3

    How do other sci-fi authors gain readers?

    I was chatting to Tsuru and they said a great cover is everything too. What do you think about switching my cover to something like this https://menilikdyer.com/assets/images/image03.jpg?v=71ae0399 Sounds like a strategy of “no publicity is bad publicity”

    How do other sci-fi authors gain readers?

    I was thinking of posting on a few other websites. But you're right there are a ton of them. I had 'Spacebattles' on my list. I did hear it's best to post every day. So I thought I might wait until next year and then post for like 2 months in a row on some of those sites.

    How do other sci-fi authors gain readers?

    Is there a way to convey that mine is all fully written? Like I’m just posting a book that’s already written so want to give people confidence that I’m not going to stop half way through.

    How do other sci-fi authors gain readers?

    I've been posting chapters on Royal Road, Scribblehub, and HFY (Reddit). I find the trickle of new readers to be good. But I was wondering if any other authors out there have tips for gaining readers? Like my mum told me my story was good. But I don't think WOM is going to snowball into a large...

    Megalist of Sci-Fi Tropes That Scribblehub LOVES or HATES

    Last week I asked about sci-fi tropes. Specifically which do you LOVE or HATE. There was a massive number of responses so I compiled the list and used it for a bit of research on my own writing. I also figured people on here might find it useful/interesting for their own work so wanted to share...

    Rate my book cover.

    It looks good on my phone. But on my big screen the crown doesn't look like it's been cut out properly.

    What sci-fi tropes/clichés do you hate/love the most

    Tell me about it. Whenever I start reading a story and it's just 'pirates in space' I switch right off. Like I want something creative in my sci-fi. Although I guess there's a big market for it if a lot of people are doing it. You should check out my story. In like 5 chapters my MC's will meet...

    What sci-fi tropes/clichés do you hate/love the most

    :blob_facepalm: my bad. I agree with you that a king/queen is similar to a CEO. But I guess I find a CEO more believable than a queen/king.

    Forgotten Title Help Finding a Novel

    Oh yes, that's super important. I have a few ideas, but not 100% sure which one to suggest - will need the marital status of MC to narrow down the options.
