This woman clearly sucked off knew someone to get herself published because no serious editor would've passed her.

If you are referring to Willow I believe she is some kind of self published. Her husband is 50/50 CEO with her, according to instagram captions, tho of what I'm not sure. He does make a lot of the physical covers with the big printing press machine she owns. all her books are available on kindle, and all the physical books she ships herself, so i assume she also orders them herself given she is *very* into having 7 different colours for the same book + her exclusive editions indicate a levelf of creative control I have never seen in publishing before - this months Patreon exclusive has all hot pink pages! She also has black pages with white text, black pages covered in florals and text, and im sure orange pages covered in green text for the colourblind or something. Its all about aesthetic!!!!

You would be surprised.

What, can men actually see out of their one-eyed snake? What a weird periscopic superpower.

This is absolutely retarded, she has no sense of color theory at all. Enjoy fucking up your vision for those clicks, ladies.

Try covering your boobs, vagina and butt hole all at once. Life finds a way.

Personally I love the irl dark mode, I've always wanted to give myself astigmatism. The cost to print must be astronomical, given the amount of shade ranges, the gold foil (incredibly expensive), page counts, hardback and clothbound, and the artwork inserts... all for porn. She does get them delivered with no hardback cover and attaches it herself so maybe there's a discount.

Spoiler: eye strain? (Nsfw)

She also offers custom romance novels! Not sure if you can choose your exact storyline, or if its more of a plug-and-play with a few predetermined stories and you provide the names. If you've ever wanted a bad boy fugitive x lawyer dark romance with the Ooperator himself now is your chance!!!

 

[raspberry mocha]

I remember when people would laugh at shitty sex scenes in books (ie. most of them). Now you can't even be snarky to dogshit authors for any reason because they have "thin skin" aka they know snark cuts into their sales.

I think the point of confusion here is that @Kari Kamiya is talking about the vagina, i.e. the internal organ, while you seem to mean the vulva, which is the external portion of the female genitals. The vulva is certainly easy to see, but the entrance to the vagina itself is usually obscured by the labia.

Where you're getting confused is this nigga revealed that he's never had sex and the woman called him again after. Embarrassing to admit in public, I know.

So apparently some guy got sexually assaulted at a book convention (one of the few men there)

The comments are sane as you'd expect

Lol
"Enterainment will still be allowed" aka the male strippers will still be allowed but they won't be available for you fat skanks to paw at. lol.

Man shit not even 1/10th this bad got booth babes banned from tech conventions.

edit: Man the more I think about it, that is just completely dehumanizing. Imagine if you had just called booth babes "Entertainment". Not even entertainers.

BOOKS FOR WOMEN, LIKE ROMANTASY AND DARK ROMANCE ARE JUST PORN

FEMALE "READERS" ARE THE SAME A PORNSICK MEN

EXCEPT PORNSICK MEN IN PORN CONS AREN'T MASS-ASSAULTING THE PORN ACTRESSES (to my knowledge)

If a porn sick guy attempted to assault a porn actress in the west, very likely the nearest white knight (I'd say "normal guy" but this is porn convention and I'm trying to keep my hypothetical realistic)wouldn't even wait for security before punching his ass or at least laying on hands. Thus even the most sheltered autist quickly learns correct behavior around women, at least when other guys are around

Women learn none of this. The best would be women leaving the area. Most likely they'd join in.

Apparently they got extremely handsy. Like borderline rapey.

I will admit the idea of some guy getting molested by a bunch of chunky chicks and hyperventilating is kinda hard to take seriously. Especially if he's actually an "entertainer".

"This dude is a shrivel dick nu-male and should have self-asserted before it got out of hand" and "that shouldn't have happened to him and should have been shut down unless he explicitly requested it continue" are not mutually exclusive thoughts.

Shitty prose and extremely unsexy. What the fuck does he even mean by "push it out"?

Either her hips/pelvis for deeping fucking or his jizzload for creampie visual, I can't tell from the context of the snippet.

You can't look at the vagina unless she's straight-up presenting herself, my man. And what if the guy has a thing for hips? Apparently birthing hips are sexy.

Hips guy here. Hips are basically an extension of the ass you can admire from the front with the boobies/through clothes. It also requires that she have a waist that is narrower than said hips. Nice hips on a girl mean she is in that perfect zone, not bony-thin and not fupa-fat either.
I guess I've yet to see the girl with dem hips who doesn't also have dat azz.
Please don't confuse Hip appreciation with nigger-like cottage cheese thighs fetish, cultured hips enjoyers want a thigh gap. TY.

Anyway, "admiring the swell of her hips" is LitCoded for "scoping out that phat ass". Or you know was before female coomfic authors got a hold of it.

How did we go from this?

I'm not a publishing doomer, but audiences are increasingly after the quickest dopamine rush possible (think of what books are competing with, basically) that the only thing that sells well are things that come closest to it: erotica and more emerging genres like LitRPG. Otherwise, seconding @McMitch. Someone like that romance author posted above with all the different versions is a similar phenomenon, basically doing DLC and constant content uploads for publishing. Authors who can't write that fast (because they care about their craft, or have other commitments) don't have a chance.

I've had sex with millions of really sexy women and they all stay in the morning and tell me how amazing I am! In minecraft

You can't even buy them in book shops any more if you want horror or sci fi. They stock some of the classics and then it's all this romance garbage. A month back I went shopping for a horror paper back, went into WH smiths (big retailer) and a private book shop and neither had anything worth buying if you had already read Lovecraft. There's a bigger manga section in most book shops than masculine reading. You might find a couple of warhammer books but that's it. Everything has to be YA Harry Potter wannabe or romance.

There's a reason I've noticed a slowly ever-increasing amount of book-youtubers go into vintage/classic authors.

Hell, it's wildly funny to me that I've seen women on the internet get upset over the romance bashing despite plenty of people showing their local chain bookstores get loaded with like 70% romance bullshit.

Books are becoming the reverse of anime. They're for arrested development women who never leave the Harry Potter / YA section. So now it's Harry Potter porn fanfics with the names changed.

 

[Greedy Fly]

shade ranges, the gold foil (incredibly expensive), page counts, hardback and clothbound, and the artwork inserts...

I like the idea of authors being able to add all these fancy details to their books (retvrn to illuminated manuscripts), but I think the unavoidable downside is that, given the chance, most of them are going to turn their books into the equivalent of 90s geocities websites where Graphic Design is Their Passion.

Chantal obviously. its the perfect enemies to lovers feeder-feedee romance novel that will dominate the booktok scene for eons to come, its body positive, muslim, and autism rep!

I like the idea of authors being able to add all these fancy details to their books

I agree, but its become so overdone. Sprayed edges with fancy patterns are now commonplace, every debut novel and midtier YA has a 'must have special edition'. Special editions imho are those gorgeous clothbound editions of classics that have stood the test of time, or for important anniversaries of much beloved books; hell if a smaller author wants to crowd fund his/her own special edition for the fandom im all for it, but every trite booktok romance has a 'special edition', nothing is special.
My special edition Farewell to Arms contains Hemmingways drafts and notes as well as some information on his service in ww1 and the wider context of the book + some photographs, and introductions by other authors; modern/tiktok special editions are just a fancy cover, sprayed edges, a bit of gold leaf, and maybe a rewritten chapter in the male love interests POV. it reeks of a FOMO marketing trick, consumerism, 'must have for your shelves', publishers pushing these unspecial editions to maximise profit and chase trends. The Fourth Wing series special editions just have dragons on the pages (and allegedly, reused/stolen fanart of another series); SJM's 'special edition' ACOTAR books are just black covers. Also the 'special editions' found in Lootcrate, Owlcrate, etc, are plagued with accusations of stolen art and scalpers (Divine Rivals). it leaves a bad taste in ones mouth.
Has anyone posted about that Age of Scorpius 'drama'? the author 'scammed' everyone with her poorly written novel (that she started when she was 12) and claims that she was working with the editor of the Hunger Games. She also claimed to be working with 20 artists to develop fanart for it. The goodreads reviews speak for themselves. I dont feel sorry for anyone who brought a book based on the author being ''autistic and bisexual'' lmfao. The author blamed the poor grammar, lack of editing, and nonsensical plot, on her being ''bisexual'' as well.

Yep, it's why I just go for the older stuff.

I think the most modern authors I've been interested in have a deep appreciation for the old stuff, or are pretty old themselves.

I wanted the new broken binding/whatever the fuck edition of Simmons' Hyperion but RIP getting it is a pain in the butt.

I like special editions made well. Even the Easton Press ones usually have a new foreword and a bunch of art. I've got a ton of these NESFA Press/Haffner Press collections of classic sci-fi/pulp/fantasy writers and they all come with forewords, some historical context, good quality printing, good art, and are usually 500+ pages.

The Haffner Press stuff is especially great because they're the only people in the biz to have collected and reprinted a LOT of classic OOP writers like Manly Wade Wellman or Jack Williamson. You would 100% have people willing to read these guys if they knew about them. Hell, Leigh Brackett, C L Moore, and Andre Norton were all women and they STILL have audiences reading them. I mean it starts with "erm we gotta read da girlbosses" and then goes into "damn, this era was fun"

So what you're saying is publishers and the current mainstream readers are telling authors this:

 

[Kari Kamiya]

The vulva is part of the vagina. Women are so retarded if this is your argument.

If you feel you understand female anatomy better than foids, please write out a sex scene using at least two anatomically-correct terms of the female reproductive organs.

Don't you have enough gay fan fiction being published? Write me an action scene involving 2 masculine heroes with a brothers-in-arms bond fighting an army of Orcs without making it about them wanting to fuck each other and I'll write your story.
