If it's anything like the pinned megas you just give a little writeup on the topic (in this case promo copy for your books ig). Then people are free to discuss or just post about random unrelated stuff as is the megathread norm.
You should totally do it so there's precedent if I ever work up the courage to post my writing hereIf you wanted to do a daily megathread, just let Quimby know in the planning thread. You would just post it at the usual time and make the nerd call comment once it's posted.
I always figured you had to set it up with the site mods, contact them and be like "ey i've got a topic for megathread" but I have no clue to be honest
THE TULPA TRILOGY - General UlyssesThread for Month DD, YYYY
Synopsis go here
Copy Content from Here for the footer of the OP. Use the little paper button in the same row as the edit/report buttons to display the markdown formatting for your copy-paste needs. If on mobile you need to switch your browser to desktop mode for it to show up.
Then you write the 1st comment in the thread, usually with something silly at the top. Then you paste in the markdown of everyone's names from Quimby's template, hit send, and then someone will reply "First!"
The nerdcall comment triggers admins to wake up and pin the post. Sometimes it takes a little bit but they get there eventually if you post it between 12am and 4am UTC.
Congratulations on a work well done :rat-salute:
Generations in the future, Megan ran for her life every day through the decaying vertislums of Halifax, doing menial jobs in order to make payments on her mandatory cybernetic implants.
payments on her mandatory cybernetic implants
:jesus-christ: please don't lathe this into being
Mad respect. Will check it out when I've got a couple bucks to spend on books.
Not a weird coincidence! I use Awoo because it's incredibly common, in fact a character's nickname "awoo" is a meme for Momiji Inubashiri. It's sort of opsec lmao, good luck googling for "awoo".
I did that gag with a DnD character once except his name was all CAPS and if you didn't say it the ALL CAPS way he would get very mad. This is funny both in text and in person.
lmao i was gonna comment "Who need they ulysses tussy ate" but i didnt wanna make you feel weird about it haha
also congrats on the drop :picard-pointing:
Any memes about it are basically free marketing :shrug-outta-hecks:
Holy shit, thanks for the plug :soviet-heart: Glad someone remembers that game!
I actually just started reading something else, but once I'm done with my current book, I'll be sure to check out your trilogy.
I remember playing your game a bit when you made the post about it, it was pretty fun. I'll have to find wherever I put it in my computer and play it again at some point
So it turned out that my current book wasn't that interesting and I returned it to the library early, meaning I was able to start on yours today.
Read the first chapter of book 1. Already more interesting and better paced than most science fiction I've read. Definitely plan on continuing this one.
Congratulations on finishing! Neat that the first book is set in Halifax, I just got back from there a few days ago. Bought all 3, happy to support and stoked to check 'em out.
What kind of extra bullshit do you have to pull for Amazon to print physical copies for you? Because I would buy them lol
I just bought one. No idea if that's an opsec violation (does amazon give you info on who buys your stuff?) but either way it wasn't my account so it should still be reasonably distant from my personal info lol
No I mean me buying it, I'm not sure how much of the buyer's info the seller gets.
Gotcha, that's pretty sick. I kind of assumed Amazon would share way too much info.
Would you be willing to remind us when the paperback is available for the third one?
