Ummm, Okay... · 2:00pm Feb 16th, 2018
After receiving some advice on my user page sometime around 4am (if timestamps are to be believed) from Czar_Yoshi, I have decided to get y'all's opinion on the SciTwi Shimmer series format. In Yoshi's advice, it was stated that having the beginning of the titles (i.e. Book-x) may be off putting. I can understand what they mean by that. On the flip side, for nearly a year anyone that has that liked/favorited the series has probably become accustomed to seeing SciTwi Shimmer-Book x pop up on their news feed as new reading or as an update.
After the Dark Sunset shit storm that got kicked up the week before Christmas, nothing has worked out. The final chapter of Book 7 took nearly three days to hit 100 views, Book 7.5 started off with a -5 rating within a half hour of posting and now Book 8 hasn't even hit 200 views yet.
So what do y'all think? Should I drop the "SciTwi Shimmer-Book x" from the series or leave it be?
(To address the cover art issue that Yoshi brought up which I do agree with, I'm trying to find time to either draw my own or somehow find some loose change to comission a picture)
Anyway, let me know what you think, please.
Please post scitwi shimmer -book x I love the series and will support you all the way even in tough times your stories are the best and worth reading they brighten my day every time you post a new one, and I'll keep reading your other stories even if you decide to drop it I’ll keep supporting you all the way love reading your stories keep writing them its important to have fun for someone making the stories as it is fun to reading them, I don't know if that makes sense but if you have fun making the story then it doesn't matter if people decide to keep reading them or not, just keep having fun writing and then hopefully people would have as much fun reading them.
I like the format now, but I'm okay with whatever you choose to do.
4798171 I have no intention of ending the series anytime soon. I'm just trying to decide whether or not to drop the "SciTwi Shimmer-Book x" tag from the titles of the stories. I'm happy to hear that seeing them brightens your day and as long as I have the time, I'll keep knocking them out.
On one hand, I can see where taking the series tag out of the title would help draw more people in; especially if you can keep the stories as self-contained as possible.
But on the other hand, not only is it iconic to the crowd you've managed to amass, but it's also a great help to those who want to read the series from the beginning.
If you can find a happy medium between the two, then go ahead. But, for the moment, I'd say stick to your guns.
