    Xlibris

    Hey, you guys ever hear of Xlibris? I've got an offer from them to publish my book, but I'm getting some shady vibes from some of the reviews I've read about them. Any thoughts?

    Amazon's changing it's print costs.

    So, as of June 20th, Amazon will be changing its print costs. Specifically, everything is going to be a bit more expensive. If you were on the fence for buying a physical copy of my books, now's the time to change your mind, seeing as how the price is going to increase in a couple of months. Thought I'd give you all the heads up.

    What I Am: Aftermath chapter.

    Hey, guys, I'm writing a conclusion chapter for What I Am. Nothing too substantial, given that a sequel and spin off already exist, but I thought I'd put it down as both a way to let those that don't exactly follow me (or, at the very least, don't follow my blog) know that the second book is out, and also know that A Darkened Sky is about to get a whole lot of chapters.

    Fool's Gambit.

    Man, did you ever go back and just... cringe at what you did before? That happened to me with Fool's Gambit. The story has plenty of potential, that's not the problem. My problem is with how it's written. The prose is off, there are numerous errors, and I feel like the whole thing is rushed. Like, that first part could have easily been 4-5 chapters longer, and it would have been better for

new name for my story. what do you guys think? · 6:19pm Oct 21st, 2013

So my brother suggested a new name for my story. He suggested "The Cthulu Maneuver", giving it an air of seriousness that I probably want in this story. When I pointed out that it didn't involve Cthulu at all, he waved that off saying that it could be what the Alliance calls the espionage operation against the Dridune based on human culture surrounding things involving tentacles. what I want to know is what do you guys think about the new title?
plus this will probably be the last time I change the title, so I want something good. Anything you have to say about the subject (such as a better name) would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure how I feel about the word "maneuver." I feel like another word might work better, but it depend on just how things play out and what exactly their plan is. "Operation," "Action," "Gambit," "Campaign," "Offensive", or "Crusade" might all be options. Actually, "The Cthulhu Crusade" could have an interesting double meaning.
But as long as you do call the operation "The Cthulhu Whatever" in the story, I don't see a problem with the name. I think it would definitely be an improvement over the other names you've used.

1440784 I actually posted this i a couple of places, and someone suggested replacing Cthulu with Kraken.
so maybe "The Kraken Crusade"? or Operation: Kraken? still working on it, but I'm waiting for more feedback before I decide.:pinkiehappy:

Personally, I think I prefer Cthulhu over Kraken. Cthulhu already has some space-y associations, and it's not incredibly difficult to think up a few parallels between Cthulhu and the Dridune.

On the other tentacle, "Kraken Crusade" has some nice alliteration.
And you don't want to confuse anyone into thinking that this is a Lovecraftian cosmic horror story.

Either one should work though.



Or you could name it after Davy Jones :twilightsheepish:
