I went poking through your archive for anything about Wattpad and didn't find any. Did you find it useful for launching original fiction way back then? If I just failed at the search bar that's also good to know...
Would LOVE to see a dedicated post on whether or not you would still recommend that or other serialized fiction for new authors to get noticed. There's also publication rights issues with Wattpad stories if I remember correctly, and seems like it would be difficult to stand out. See also AO3, but I think that's probably even harder to transfer followers to original works.
Edited to add: someone else mentioned Royal Road to me yesterday, which I know nothing about.
Royal Road is really populate with serialized fiction — many stories on there are SO much longer than any novel, and many have been going for years. There is a lot of LitRPG novels on there though, which is an interesting genre.
Both covers, the title “the executioners three” and the author, have never sold me instantly to want to read a book, ever. I am quite looking forward to reading your book. It speaks to the Autumn in me.
That edition is GORGEOUS
I love this so so so much and that undercase is EVERYTHING. Sooz I’m so glad you got your dream request as the special edition that’s amazing!!!

You know, this is a good question someone else also recently asked. Do you mind if I tackle it in a newsletter on the Misfits & Daydreamers?

I looked into litRPG last year and while I get the appeal, not the genre for me.
Funnily enough, Mur Lafferty's latest book has a whole running gag on how litRPG is blowing up.
