#DCcomics #Marvel #Alternatives #BrandZero

Let's reset all this. Offer alternatives. NO matter what level of clicks I get. I plan on sharing this on BitChute, Minds and beyond!

CJ understands comic tropes. From Golden to now. This series has all of that and more. Over time Ill be hopping back into it because I like his streamlined narrative style and the pockets of exposition that don't slow down the narrative.

#horror #cosmichorror #scifi

I might keep on going because I do enjoy some elements of space/cosmic horror. Provided there is light at the end of the tunnel.

So today I found this: The sample starts off slow but classic horror setups show the normality before the horror sets in. So like another series I've enjoyed Ill give this a looksee.

#theExpanse #spaceopera

Will have series spoilers for stuff up to Book 5 and a few examples beyond. Like what happens with some of the PM tech. Let's just get this out of the way: It became too dark without any light to contrast it. Even the re-imagined BSG has contrasts. But everything is trying to out do Game of Thrones in terms of themes and Nihilism.

Blog Link: https://fiannawolf.blogspot.com/2021/02/the-expanse-why-i-dropped-out.html

Even Berserk, the manga, has contrasts of light and dark so the reader doesn't get burnt out. Here: https://amzn.to/3tGe9FP

I have a feeling that The Expanse will end on a #MassEffect Green End note.

Superversive is the new counter culture to Post Modern Hopelessness.

I'll start linking bigger IPs in the hashtag just in case that helps these smaller press books find an interested reader or two. Because the idea of the Spirit helper converting to a AI is a fun aspect to me. Plus the cover did catch my eye.

In response to Wes' vid here: https://youtu.be/CSEOZxFZmys
More on why I prefer digital to physical nowadays. It's mainly space and portability for me. I get why collectors and LCS wouldn't embrace it as much. Because the physical is what drives their business and collections. Ithink its also a generational preference.

Heck, its why I have two different plans from Silver Empire Publishing. The Hardback plan and Ebook version. https://silverempire.org/book-club/

#Invincible #comics #superheroes #spaceopera

I know many love this series but it wasn't what I wanted and what I won't do with Uplift Protocol.
To me, its filled with stuff I am absolutely tired of. Gore where it isnt needed. Real Life BS were it's not needed. Rape, deluded and damaged families. You will see what I mean with the one family with the genuis brother who's evil and his Average Joe brother that just wants his family's love.

Not to mention the main protag's situation. Filled with some spoilers. So if you want to read this series, do so and then come back if you want. Me? I don't care if things are spoiled for me.

#Pulps #Writing #ShowVsTell

Most times showing didnt help me. Mainly because the articles covering it was from a screen writing POV. So it didnt make much sense to put it within my books because in most modern drek it slows down the plot. As far as my wheelhouse preferences go.

Pulp on Pulp finally gives voice to what I wanted to know: Flitering. Get this book. It explains so much.

#SuperheroProse #SpaceOpera

I will continue to seek more and more superhero prose series. Space bound stories especially.
Mr. Plexico has a decent library built up but I want to focus on his cosmic oriented superhero space opera. Because that's a combo close to my heart.
Read more superhero prose today! So it can grow into a thriving sub-setting. Much like Mil Sci fi is :D

But I find I have just as much fun with semi off the cuff rambles. So Ill be re-reading this book for October.
The Quest for Aspirational. This book has that. Along with other archetypes.

#amazon #books #comics #shows #starwars #scifi #fantasy #woke

Superman and Bendis is what broke me away from corporations. To where I would rather support indies giving me the wheelhouses and fun I want. I get why people certain Disney shows of the star wars variety but that won't course correct these corporations. They don't even care about the bottom line anymore. Just soapboxing.

#thepulps #books #indies #scifantasy

Many older books didn't mind mixing sci fi with fantasy. Or having fantastical elements that would make sense for that setting but wasn't ingrained within the real world. For me, as long as you keep your setting consistent, you have have nano connected dragons for all I care.
So here's a link to some sword and sorc I've found alongside other pulpy science fiction meets fantasy setups. Or whatever tickles your fancy.https://fiannawolf.blogspot.com/search/label/Genre%20Database

Got the cover pick from twitter user: https://twitter.com/twoyto

#swordandplanet #superversive #indies

Adding this to my uplifting pile. We need more books that focus on the traditional heroes virtues rather than vices/flaws. This series is in my superversive pile for sure. Up there with the Scout series.

Linking to a good interview if you want to get into the meat of the book. Its gonna be a busy 2021.

#books #likability

I've gone over likable over relatable but this article is more from "Make more sympathetic characters in general. More make a villain sympathetic. Me? I don't really care to make the Villains in Uplift Protocol likable. They are a tool to create conflict for the heroes. Nothing more or less than that.

#Corporations #IPs #comics #books #masseffect

Realize that these corporations don't really care what their IP fanbases do, where they will sit up and take notice: Money Flow.

Nostalgia traps us. Realize that modern caretakers of IPs dont care about that for actual story purposes, they use it to keep funding their projects rather than creating or rebuilding the iconic or aspirational.

#endings #romance #books #gaming

Under it all people want to see a traditional happy ending. The hero wins. Gets their just rest and rewards. With RPGs this is even more important. You have to give the player the most optimum ending. No matter the setting. People crave happy endings still. Even if they deny it initially. The world has enough GRRM downer crap clogging everything. Give people uplifting options. No matter the medium.

Link: https://fiannawolf.blogspot.com/2020/12/book-promotion.html
It's important to mention things in blurbs that will capture the right audience. Be frank. Tell them what to expect with your book beyond a sentence or two about the plot in the blurb. If they want optimism, be honest about it on the book cover.

When I launch Uplift Protocol I plan on stating: "Tired of Downer endings? Tired of GRRM grit realism in your protagonists? Or their side cast? Want traditional heroics and a return to Paragons of Virtue? Read Uplift Protocol today!"

Help readers and viewers find their wheelhouses.

#SOMA #Cyberpunk2077 #MassEffect #Bioshock

Ill be talking CP 2077 ending spoilers!!!

To compare it to other games and other rpgs. Plus why you should always offer a pristine or perfect uplifting option within RPGs. Even if people say it doesn't fit the story, when it comes to certain genres that should be on the table. Heck even the Samurai Jack game had a secret ending many consider the true ending now. Because people still want the Heroes Journey with a proper payoff at the end. The hero wins, gets the girl, and is victorious. Or whatever combo of that.

#spaceopera #scifi #indies #books

Does everything have to be realistic? Nope. Space Opera usually dives into the adventure element more-so than other sci fi setups.

#Cyberpunk2077 #endings #masseffect #FONV

HAS SOME ENDING SPOILERS FOR CYBERPUNK 2077 IN AUDIO!!!!
I try to stay vague but the elephant is there: With regards to V's fate.
People desire the choice of a happy ending. Even if they indicate otherwise, usually in games esp.

I will give people Diabetes with the Ending of Uplift Protocol.

#xena #cyberpunk2077 #books #bioshock

Just my musings on current trends and what seems to be in the forefront when it comes to certain genre wheelhouses. Subversion done right? Bioshock and Megamind.

#tropes #preferences #books
Finding readers to connect with your books. It feels like some wheelhouses are getting the the lion's share. I try to break down why I dislike aspects of Anita Blake or the Bellas of the World.

Makes me realize I shouldn't try to change Dead IPs but make something that 100% fits me like Uplift Protocol. I think that's what motivates some writers. If what you want isn't out there: Make it.

#masseffect #spaceopera #bookrecommendations

I don't think this will end well. It will probably bank very hard on people that wanted Mass Effect to go differently. I was one of those but 2020 really got me off IP Plantations.

Here's a links to a book series that did it better.
Ember Wars: https://amzn.to/3r5BCP4

#indies #scifi #spaceopera

I got into his other series first, here: https://amzn.to/2JSldNz and people dug into that because "Oh nos, men can't writes teh wommens!" but I think he did perfectly fine. I love Spiral Wars even more because that's my preferred space opera wheelhouse.

Just one FL woman's ramble about this article:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/25/bo...
The landscape for books, comics and other forms of entertainment is changing. Esp. in the last 10-20 years. Some embraced it better than others so in the end they wouldn't become Blockbuster vs Redbox.

What I consider Mid-lister Spring Board Indie Publishers:

Silver Empire: https://silverempire.org/
LMBPN Publishing: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=LMBPN+Publ...
Aethon books: https://amzn.to/3nPInCq

Just to name a few.
Trad Side:

DAW: (Which is the one arm of Penguin that still takes chances on some books. But of the 4 that remain, how many are subsidiaries of each other?)

Wanted to make a backup for when Twitter collapses. I write #superhero meets #spaceopera serial series on my blog called #TheUpliftProtocol. Links below!

Book 2: https://bit.ly/2KP7U04
My channels cover everything space opera, superversive, sci fi oriented that most of the bigger channels ignore in favor of YA and Corporate Dead IP land, along with focusing on some Pulp Sensibilities. I do a bit in comics as well but don't cover DC or Marvel much unless its to make a case for Aspirational vs all the Anti-hero stuff going on.
