C.B.’s comments from the Support for Indie Authors group.

You probably want a black line around the entire thing, so that it doesn't bleed off into white pages. :)

My time to chime!

I say, don't pull it.
By all means change it, and update it, but don't pull it.
It has a lot of good reviews, and if you update it then you can only get more good reviews.

And who knows, if you ask Amazon to push it, some people might come back to it and change their mind! :)

For all of my precious backsides I wrapped the graphics around, put on a blurb, and a tagline for the blurb.
I also tried to hide easter eggs on the back, since the print books are rarer, not many people see them!

Yes. *looks down at ground and shuffles feet*

Anyone in leather!

In leather armor. Like, thieves, archers, and rogues,
Oh, who am I kidding. I like anyone in any armor type! Come here you! *hugs*

I make up a lot of words, but I don't ever italicize them (and I italicize a lot of things).
I always explain them right away though, so there isn't an issue.

ie: "We need more Dilithium Crystals!" Said the engineer while he looked at the fuel gauge.

We will be here all week! (Then after that as well, cause we like it here, and don't want to leave.)

I can't help myself!

While I really love this group and everyone in it, I am going to have to go with The Underwear of the Month Club. They have been the most supportive.

We have a showcase for that!
(see, I do say that!)

Aw! Blush.

I did it!
I finally did it! :D

*Cheers*
I wrote a chapter that is only a single word! I might even knock it down to an '!' when I am editing.

Not unless they buy it dinner first!

Hooray!

I have decided that my main slogan for my entire franchise is:

Okay, I like the mixed blood spattered bluntraditional one!

This is another 'There is no Secret Ingredient' kind of topic.

There really is no right or wrong way, just try!

Personally, I was attempting to get some books as permafree but I couldn't get them to work. I am glad now that it didn't work.

Now I have books that I can give away for free when I want to, and otherwise they are set to a low price. The ability to make them free for a few days per pay period does help me move other books, and get some interest.

Otherwise they are slowly making a profit when they are sitting there, ready to strike with a promo!

I wouldn't do it any other way now, I don't think. But that is my story, not yours. Do what you think is the best for you, and tell us how it goes!

Visual novels can be great little diversions, or big giant epics. I have played/read a few in my time.

Many of them seem to be harem style dating sims if I am to be honest. One person with 8 or so choices of who to date and then things happen. There are some really crazy ones out there, Hatoful Boyfriend (pigeons) and Panzermadels (tanks) come to mind.

It doesn't mean that dating is the only way to go though! I have seen some that are stories, or an adventure, or even one that had an hero that had to have a bunch of se... okay, let's not talk about that one in public... but yes, there are a lot of things you can do with the medium.

My biggest peeve with them is that it is often impossible to 'skip' stuff I've already seen, or to know what I haven't clicked yet, because it is hidden past 5 choices I forgot I made and can't get back. I really want to see one of these that has a 'tree of choices' and lets you warp back to where you have been / missed so I can find out everything!

I like it.
It feels unique and I am a big fan of unique! :)
