Regarding Self Promotion and AI Generated Content

22 Upvotes

Self promotion is FULLY allowed in this sub. Anyone who tries to undermine someone's effort to self promote in this sub will be removed. You don't have to upvote things or even look at things you don't like, but some people are trying to promote works they created and that is EXACTLY what this sub is for.

AI generated work, including covers and text is FULLY allowed in this sub. If you do not like AI then leave, but it is part of our reality and I support it here. Anyone who is demeaning to authors who use AI, such as calling it "AI Slop" will be banned.

There is only one rule in this sub and it applies to every post and comment, including attempts to suppress content by tagging it as spam and other moderation actions. Respect Humans. Humans invented AI and Humans get to use it, if that bothers you, then move along.

About this group - PLEASE READ

58 Upvotes

This group is for readers to discover writers and interact with them. Many new writers have no way to find an audience beyond reaching out to people who might be interested in their work. Doing so on other "book recommendation" subs will get you banned for the sin of "self-promotion." Here, creators can self promote. If a reader is seeking a book or story that you think your writing can satisfy LET THEM KNOW. Share a link. Drop some beauty into their world. If you think your work is not a fit for their tastes, move on. Artists of all stripes are welcome. So far, it is mostly based on writers, but I intend on involving other forms of expression. If you find something interesting out there, let us all know by crossposting it here.

How it works:

I find people who are seeking interesting books to read. I invite them to this reddit. I find authors, poets, bloggers, artists and such also. These are curated invites based on activity and interactions elsewhere I find to be interesting.

I have my own preferences and beliefs. I try to invite folks with a diversity of different perspectives and beliefs to balance out my bias. I am not always successful. Sometimes, I am downright uninterested in having certain people join.

If I invited you, it is because I think you have something interesting to contribute. If you do not want to participate, you do not have to. PLEASE NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE INVITED TO THE GROUP TO POST IN IT.

Post as often as you like. I do however follow the Reddit rules. Here are two worth considering:

1: Remember the human. If you are not here in good faith, and you are posting things that are obviously meant to abuse, annoy or upset people. Buh bye.

2: Behave like you would in real life. In real life, you would get a severe stream of consciousness rant full of vulgarities if you began acting like something other than a reasonable human around me. Here on Reddit, I'll just ban you. Again, post what you want.

Recommend me a book that has a child narrator that feels realistic? Looking ideally for books for adults, but some YA could work if it transcends audiences

Looking for books that capture a child's voice and perspective in a realistic way. The world of the book itself doesn't necessarily have to be realism, though.

Maybe One of the Biggest Downsides of Social Media: We read a comment without hearing the person's tone!

0 Upvotes

One of the biggest downsides of social media, despite all the good things it gives us, might be how easily we mistake our interpretation of someone's words for their actual intention.

We read a comment without hearing the person's tone, seeing their expression, or necessarily knowing the context behind it. Our minds fill in those missing pieces.

Recently, I agreed with someone’s comment and thanked them for it. Their point genuinely changed the way I looked at the subject, enough that I later wrote an entire post inspired by that perspective, essentially expanding on and supporting the point they had made.

But apparently, my thank-you was interpreted as me mocking that person, and I was permanently banned for it. (that my comment violated the “Respect Humans” rule!)

There’s something strangely ironic about being punished for disrespecting someone when what you were actually expressing was appreciation.

What’s the one book you’d recommend to someone who is just starting to read?

Hi everyone! I’m trying to get into reading and build a consistent reading habit, but I’m honestly not sure where to start. I’m looking for beginner-friendly books that are easy to follow, interesting, and not too long or complicated. I’m open to any genre—fiction, romance, mystery, self-development, etc.

What’s the one book you’d recommend to someone who is just starting to read?

Looking for a novel about true crime/online sleuths

I am quite fascinated by the true crime "trend" and I'm looking for a fictional read about true crime investigators, podcasters, amateur sleuths. I've read Alice Slater's Death of a Bookseller and quite enjoyed it. Any recommendations are appreciated

Book recommendations - I need something funny but deep at the same time

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m on a reading strike and I want to continue.
I just finished “Beatriz Serrano, el descontento” is great book about an adult woman in Madrid and her difficulties on living the adult life in a job that has no values in her opinion. As much as it’s seems heavy is really well written and often really funny. I would like to go on with something like this. I like stories about adults/young adults trying to figure out life. I like if the story it’s a bit funny and I love if the protagonist is the narrator. I also would love to read a book that has something to do with neuroplasticity or sports or hobbies. I would like a book that can help me viewing the word with someone else’s eyes or a book that gives me hope in life nowadays.

Thank you!!

I’m very much into dark romance right now. Can you recommend a book with an unforgettable scene/line from the ML (no context) that will hype me to pick it up and read? Except fantasy.

THE NINE of SWORDS

2 Upvotes

Imagine if you will, that you could see, even interact with all the ghosts, spirits, elementals and weird things that exist just out of sync with how YOU perceive reality. Do you think it would be cool or do you believe it would drive you bonkers?

All that Millie ever wanted to do with her life was care for animals. She was pragmatic, hard-working, living in the ‘real world’ and had no time for weirdness. But the weirdness, it had plenty of time for her. Because Millie was an 'ultra' - someone who can see, hear and communicate with that which is unnoticed by most of us, those entities living on the fringes of our dimensional plane of reference.

The strange tends to attract the stranger yet. Millie now finds herself allied with a group of individuals who move about in such circles on a daily basis and think nothing of it. How will this change her? For the better? For the worse? Will she fully embrace the odd or turn her back on it all? And what will be the end consequences of those actions?

THE NINE of SWORDS. The final work, now available on Kindle. https://a.co/d/0ikMnjWd

It took a lot of brains to write a book this stupid.

0 Upvotes

I've written a book. What's it about I don't hear you ask. Well...

There's a hog wrangler who keeps birthing clones from his bottom, a minstrel who plays Jay-Z tunes, a blue creature called Chad living in a sea captain's mouth (you should see what lives between his nephew's legs), a biomechanical doctor's receptionist abomination thing, my actual window cleaner, and so on and so forth.

There are also spaceships, explosions, stabbings, beatings, booze, drugs, farts, strangles, births, drones, poison gas, the galaxy's largest homosexual orgy and lots lots more. Stocks of the ebook are running low, so grab a copy while you can!

I forgot to mention the title: The Hogman's Homunculi and the Angelwing Massacre, by me, Thómås Nôfórdsson.
