    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.

    Here's link to my story. I also added it to the original post :) https://www.scribblehub.com/read/594284-a-new-eden-scifi-ai-aliens-space-mystery-thriller-adventure/chapter/594287/ I had a few people talk about love when I asked it on Royal Road. But then it turned into a hard core hating on...

    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...

    Motsu's free editing and feedback thread!

    WOW - thank you. That's way more comprehensive than I thought it would be. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    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.

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

    This exactly. I feel like a corporation running a planet and monopolising it

    Sci-fi space adventure - does this story pull you in?

    So I've released 10 Chapters of my story on here and Royal Road. When I look at the stats on Royal Road, there have been 260 people who've started reading it. Of those, ~150 make it to chapter 3. Then basically everyone who reads chapter 3, reads all ten chapters. Would love your feedback...

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

    OMG - me neither. I find it way more relatable when the story could happen in my lifetime. I wrote my story so it happens right after we invent artificial general intelligence. And use that as my way of thrusting the MC into a world with a mix of 'old tech' and 'new tech'.

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

    When I first wrote my book it started with the "MC waking up" from a thousand-year sleep. Then I started noticing so many stories where the opening scene is the MC 'waking up'. I've since changed it to a much stronger opening scene. But this whole experience made me curious about tropes or...
