FAQ: What are the most visited pages on this website and how many visits do they get?

Several years ago, I wrote an article on how to write different types of magic uses, or rather how I personally write various types of magic users within the context of my Quaraun books. Today that page is one of my top ten most visited articles. It gets 50 to 500 views/reads/hits/visits per day depending on the time of the years and has had over 200k visits total since it was published.

Amphibious Aliens: Debunking The Atwater Family's Alien Abduction Hoax with more then 30MILLION reads since 2007 and The GoldenEagle: Debunking Stephen King's World's Most Haunted Car Hoax with over tenMILLION reads since 2007 still rank as the two most visited articles on my website, but, neither of those are writing related.

Writing Medieval Servants is my most visited writing related article with over 7MILLION reads.

This website was started in 1996 and has 1 to 3 new articles (all written by me, I am the only writer on this site) published almost daily. In 2017 we crossed ten thousand articles published. As of 2023, EACH article gets MINIMUM 10 to 70 reads PER DAY, with the high traffic articles getting 500+ reads per day.

And since December 2019, my website now gets three hundred thousand to 7 million reads per month - well over ONE HUNDRED MILLION PAGE READS PER YEAR, making it not only the single most trafficked site in the State of Maine, but also one of the most visited websites in ALL OF NEW ENGLAND!

Publishing a fantasy series: self vs traditional?

If you have followed my website for any length of time, you are by now aware that I like using Reddit to get my article ideas. I search reddit for questions and then I answer them, here, though not often on Reddit. While I post answers here on my website daily, often 3 or more a day, I only post answers on Reddit once, maybe twice, a week, if that often. I dislike the toxic vibes of Reddit comment sections and so avoid dealing with them, by writing up very long comments and then NOT posting the comment on Reddit, but rather instead posting it here for you. my readers, because I know you guys are not toxic. And so, that is what this page is, yet again, today. I have found a question on reddit and I am going to answer it here instead of answering it o Reddit. Enjoy!

Publishing a fantasy series: self vs traditional?

Today, let's do something a little bit different. Starting last week of July 2023, I have been testing out ChatGPT on my website. Today, let's see what ChatGPT has to say about this Reddit post.

I'm going to start out by answering the post myself, and then afterwards, I am going to paste the question into ChatGPT and see how similar or different AI's answer is from mine.

Publishing a fantasy series: self vs traditional?


My answer to  Publishing a fantasy series: self vs traditional?

Publishing a fantasy series: self vs traditional?
by u/builtforcameron in writing


What I need advice on though is whether I should self publish or traditional? 

I've done both, but in traditional publishing it was a Horror series and in self publishing it was a Fantasy series, so I have not traditionally published a Fantasy series, nor have I tried to.

Also, I was traditionally published in the late 1970s and early 1980s, in a time period when agents were laughed at and no author in their right mind would touch an agent with a ten foot pole, as agents were 99% of the time scam artists.

In the late 1990s agents started to gain a better reputation, and since the mid 2000s it has become standard practice to hire an agent and pay the agent to submit queries for you, to publishers.

I have never worked with an agent as I switched from traditional publishing to self publishing in 2010, right around the same time the trend in hiring agents was getting started.

Needless to say, the process of traditional publishing is vastly different today then it was fort years ago when I was doing it,, so I''m not fully up to date on the current trends in how to get traditionally published in 2023. Meaning, I couldn't tell you if traditionally publishing in today's industry is a good option or not.

The current trend I am seeing right now in 2023, is that most publishing houses are treating SERIES (regardless of genre, but most especially Fantasy and YA Fantasy) like the plague and just auto rejecting it even if i's good. Which has in turn resulted in the current mass flood of Fantasy (especially YA Fantasy) series being self-published on Amazon. So it would seem that, right now at least, Fantasy series are best self-published, BUT are not selling at all anywhere, which is why traditional publishing houses are rejecting them, so self publushing them isn't that great either, just because the current trend is readers are no longer buying Fantasy series.

While there will always be people who want and read Fantasy series, the large mainstream reading public seems to currently be fed up with Fantasy series, due largely to the fact that 9 times out of 10, authors START a Fantasy series and never FINISH the series abandoning it 3 to 5 volumes in and leaving angry readers not knowing how the series ends.

The current reader backlash AGAINST Fantasy series, seems to be a result of The Game of Thrones TV show ending before the books were written, and it's now 13 years later and the author has yet to finish the final two books, which caused an over all mistrust in authors of series in general, but Fantasy in particular. resulting in the current trend of agents and publishing houses saying full "NO" to ALL series queried to them no matter how good the series may be.

Because trends fluctuate so fast in the publishing industry, it is quite possible that in a few months or years, series will be the trend again, but at the moment, series are just being rejected everywhere, no matter what genre the series may be.

On the other hand, thee is a boom in series being self-published on Amazon KDP right now. This is a direct side effect of publishing houses refusing the accept series.

I don't care about earning a sh*t ton of money or getting royalties or any of that, I just want as many people as possible to read my story.

You seem to be of the common, popular, and highly inaccurate delusion that if you write ONE book, you can become an overnight millionaire and live off that one book's royalties for the rest of your life.

You need to step back and take a big reality check here.

I have a book that sold a million copies. Do you know how much money that amounted to? $12k. Yes, one million books sold equaled twelve thousand dollars earned, before taxes.

In total since 1978, when my first book was published, I have sold more than ten million copies of my books, and in my entire lifetime I have yet to earn $100k total income.

Yes, ten million books sold across fifty years, totaled under one hundred thousand dollars in income.

There's a reality check for you.

Here's another reality check for you: Forbes lists Stephen King as the 3rd highest paid author of all time; Forbes also lists his BOOK income at $130k a year, and points out that he's YET to cross millionaire status from book sales, even after 60 years of publishing many hundreds of books.

J.K.Rowling, the highest paid author in history, made less than four million dollars on more than three hundred million copies of her books sold. Yes, she has made way more money than that, but she made most of her money from Lego block toys and movies, NOT off book sales.

The average traditionally published author makes $5k per book, while the average self-published author makes $500 per book.

The average income for authors self or traditionally published is $21k a year, and that is the AVERAGE... meaning the study took all the big name authors like Stephen King, and all the self-published authors who make under ten dollars a year, lumped them together, counted how many authors there was, adding up all the yearly incomes, then divided the money by the total authors, to get $21k answer. That study was done in 2017 and again in 2022 ns $21k was the answer they reached both times.

That $21k INCLUDES the more then TWENTY MILLION KDP authors which Amazon has stated have YET to sell enough copies to earn out their first $100 payout. So, that $21k average yearly income, is skewing very HIGH due to the fact there are fewer then one hundred big names like GRRMartin, Stephen King, and ELJames on the list, to offset the 20million ZERO income earners on the list.

The survey next took out any author who had earned under $100 per year and any author who earned over $100k per year, and separated traditionally published from self published, to come up with what is believed to be the most accurate estimated average income for authors:

An average income of $5k (five thousand dollars) a year for traditional published authors.

An average income of $500 (five hundred dollars) a year for traditional published authors.

Which is WHY that survey had THREE answers:

  • The average income of an author is $21k a year, ACTUAL AVERAGE of adding all author incomes together then dividing by authors, and that includes counting 20million who had ZERO income and a few hundred who had over a million in income, along side the around one hundred thousand who had part time or full time career writing incomes.


  • The average traditionally published author makes $5k per book, so only $5k per year if they only publish one book per year.


  • The average self-published author makes $500 per book, during the entire lifetime of the book, and that five hundred dollars could be spread out to as little as just ten dollars a year for many years.

So, yeah, you ain't going to see a shit ton of money no matter what you do.

A thing to consider about traditional publishing, is you book will ONLY be in print for JUST 6 MONTHS. Whereas in self-publishing your book is available forever... so, in the long run, self publishing COULD get your book into the hands of more readers, IF you are good at marketing.


I'm really leaning towards traditional and have started to browse publishing agents but I want an honest to god answer on how I can get this into as many hands as possible.

I would suggest an option perhaps you have not thought of: serialized web novels.

And in particular to your case, Royal Road. There are many sites, WattPad is probably the most famous, while FanFiction.net is the oldest. Many are scams that wll try to steal your copyrights, WebNovel is the worst, so watch out for those. (As a general rule NEVER sign a contract for exclusivity with ANY web novel type site, at all, because even the few that are not scams, are horrible contracts. If you ever reach the point of wanting to make money, upload it to Amazon and don't bother with contracts via any of the serialized web novel sites)

This falls under self-publishing, but it's not "traditional" self publishing, meaning you will not have an ebook for sale, and you will make no money, as it'll be posted free to read online.

However, it is likely your best bet if your primary goal is just to get your story in front of as many readers as possible. RoyalRoad's current (as of August 2023) system makes it easy for readers to search for and find new works, meaning you have a high rate of discoverability on RoyalRoad even if you do nothing to promote yourself. This could change, though, as RoyalRoad is still a fairly new site and does not yet have many users. Once it becomes more popular and has more users, the database may become harder to sort through to find new works to read.


What do I personally do?

Well, I self publish my Fantasy series on Amazon, DriveThruRPG, and GumRoad, and I stalk about that publishing process HERE:

Now Let's see What chatGPT Has To Say About:
Publishing a fantasy series: self vs traditional?

Publishing a fantasy series: self vs traditional?
by u/builtforcameron in writing

The Prompt:

You are a famous, multi-published Fantasy author, known for your bestselling Fantasy series. You have both self published and traditionally published, having success in both. A new, young writer has come to you with the following question:


"Publishing a fantasy series: self vs traditional? Advice?
Long story short, I used to tell myself stories to help me fall asleep as a kid, all the way through high school and even parts of college. The end result is me having an entire, fully built fantasy world that as of a few years ago I've been timelining and taking notes down on paper. There's a whole history on paper, but what I'm working on now is a series of books taking place in that worlds future, a kind of personal narrative exploring a world filled with conflict and a history lost to time. It's a breeze to write because the story is already there, and as I'm finishing up the first novel, I'm starting to look towards publishing options. I'm only 23, so I know I have all the time in the world and since I've been saving up from this high(ish) paying job that I'm leaving, I'm really looking to get the ball rolling on this.

What I need advice on though is whether I should self publish or traditional? I don't care about earning a sh*t ton of money or getting royalties or any of that, I just want as many people as possible to read my story. I've taken care of myself my whole life and I'm perfectly capable of living through the struggle. I'm really leaning towards traditional and have started to browse publishing agents but I want an honest to god answer on how I can get this into as many hands as possible."



...what do you say to them?



ChatGPT's answer:

First of all, congratulations on embarking on this exciting journey of sharing your fully built fantasy world with the world! It's wonderful to see your passion for storytelling taking shape into a series of books.

The decision between self-publishing and traditional publishing is an important one, and both paths have their own unique advantages. Let me offer you some insights to help you make an informed decision:

Self-Publishing:

1. Creative Control: Self-publishing allows you to retain complete creative control over your work, from cover design to marketing strategies.

2. Speed to Market: You can get your books out to readers relatively quickly without the traditional publishing process delays.

3. Royalties: As you mentioned, you may earn a higher percentage of royalties on each sale with self-publishing, which can be appealing if you don't mind handling the business aspects.

4. Flexibility: You can experiment with different book formats, pricing, and promotions to find what works best for your audience.

Traditional Publishing:

1. Distribution and Exposure: Traditional publishers have established distribution networks that can help get your books into bookstores, libraries, and online retailers worldwide, potentially reaching a broader audience.

2. Editorial and Marketing Support: Working with a traditional publisher means having access to professional editors, cover designers, and marketing teams to enhance the quality and visibility of your book.

3. Credibility: Being traditionally published can lend a level of credibility to your work in the eyes of some readers, which might increase your chances of gaining widespread attention.

Given your desire to have as many people as possible read your story, traditional publishing might be a compelling option. However, it's essential to remember that the traditional publishing process can be competitive and time-consuming. Rejections are not uncommon, but persistence and belief in your story are key.

To increase your chances of catching the attention of agents and publishers, focus on crafting a strong query letter and a compelling book proposal that highlights the uniqueness and marketability of your fantasy series. Research and target literary agents who have experience and interest in representing fantasy genres.

Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all answer here, and many authors find success in either self-publishing or traditional publishing. Ultimately, the most important thing is to ensure your story reaches the hands of eager readers.

Whichever path you choose, keep your passion for storytelling alive, and believe in the magic of your world. Writing is a journey of perseverance, and with determination and dedication, your fantasy series will find its way into the hearts of readers all over the world. Best of luck on your publishing adventure! 📚✨🌟

Hmmm... I notice ChatGPT did not offer them any options of serialized web novels. Let's write an add on prompt and see what we can get for that.

Now Let's see What chatGPT Has To Say About:

Publishing a fantasy series: self vs traditional?
by u/builtforcameron in writing

The Prompt:

You are a famous, multi-published Fantasy author, known for your bestselling Fantasy series. You have both self published and traditionally published, having success in both. A new, young writer who previously come to you with the following question:


"Publishing a fantasy series: self vs traditional? Advice?
Long story short, I used to tell myself stories to help me fall asleep as a kid, all the way through high school and even parts of college. The end result is me having an entire, fully built fantasy world that as of a few years ago I've been timelining and taking notes down on paper.

I'm really leaning towards traditional and have started to browse publishing agents but I want an honest to god answer on how I can get this into as many hands as possible."

...as read your previous answer and is back and now they have a follow up question:

"Since I am only interested in getting reads and not interested in making money, and because my Fantasy series is going to be very long, do you think serialized web novels could be a good option for me? I heard Royal Road might be a good option, or maybe WattPad, but I think WattPad only does Romance or is Gantasy allowed there, do you know? Or maybe Ao3 or FictionPress or ScribbleHub or Tapas.io? Someone told me to stay away from Web Novel because of their scammy exclusivity contracts. Royal Road sounds best because it has a large database of Fantasy series. What do you think? Should I try these out? Would it be worth my time or should I strive for more traditional forms of publishing instead?"


...what do you say to them? (You do have experience publishing on these sites.)



ChatGPT's answer:

Ah, it's wonderful to see your passion for storytelling continuing to blossom! Exploring serialized web novels as a publishing option could indeed be a fantastic idea, especially if your goal is to reach as many readers as possible.

First of all, let me assure you that web novels have gained immense popularity in recent years, and they provide a unique platform to connect with a wide audience of fantasy enthusiasts. Since your fantasy series is long and already fully developed, serialized web novels could be an excellent way to share your epic tale in bite-sized installments, keeping readers eagerly coming back for more.

Now, let's take a closer look at some of the platforms you mentioned:

1. Royal Road: This platform is renowned for hosting a diverse array of fantasy series and has a dedicated fan base of fantasy readers. It could be an ideal choice for your work, given the genre's popularity on the site.

2. Wattpad: While Wattpad has gained popularity for its romance category, it is not limited to romance alone. Many fantasy stories have also found success on Wattpad, and it continues to be a hub for young readers.

3. Ao3 (Archive of Our Own): Ao3 is a popular platform for fan fiction and original works, and it offers a supportive community of fantasy lovers. Posting your series here could help you connect with dedicated readers.

4. FictionPress: This platform is designed specifically for original fiction, making it a great option for sharing your fantasy world with eager readers.

5. ScribbleHub and Tapas.io: These platforms cater to a wide range of genres, including fantasy. They offer various tools to engage readers and create an interactive experience.

Regarding the concerns about exclusivity contracts on some web novel platforms, it's essential to read the terms and conditions carefully before making any commitments. Many platforms allow you to retain ownership of your work while granting them the right to host it on their site. However, be cautious of any contracts that restrict your rights or limit future publishing opportunities.

As you've mentioned that your primary goal is to reach readers rather than making money, exploring serialized web novels can be an exciting and rewarding path. Web novel communities are passionate and supportive, and they can provide valuable feedback to help you grow as a writer.

However, keep in mind that there's no one-size-fits-all answer, and traditional publishing might still be a viable option if you wish to explore it. You can always start with web novels to build a reader base and later consider other publishing avenues.

Remember, dear writer, the magic of storytelling lies in connecting with readers and sharing the worlds we create. Whether through web novels or traditional publishing, let your passion guide you, and may your epic fantasy series find its way into the hands and hearts of many eager readers across the realms! 📚✨🌟

Now Let's see What chatGPT Has To Say About:
Publishing a fantasy series: self vs traditional?

Publishing a fantasy series: self vs traditional?
by u/builtforcameron in writing

The Prompt:

Hmm... they were not referencing general exclusivity contracts with general web novel platforms. There is a website named "WebNovel.Com" that is based in China and has been in the news a lot the past 4 or 5 years, because they used predatory contracts to trick children (minors under the age of 18) into handing over rights to characters; the contracts were specifically worded to tell children NOT to ask permission from their parents, telling them their parents would only hinder their right to publish. The Writer Beware Blog has been covering the many lawsuits against WebNovel.com for several years now. Many thousands of parents have gathered together in a huge lawsuit against WebNovel.com to try to get their minor children out of the contracts, but the major issue is the WebNovel.com website is based in China where USA laws regarding copyrights and employment of minors do not apply.

This is the event they were referring to in their question.

Do you have any comments on this situation?



ChatGPT's answer:

Thank you for bringing this specific issue to my attention. I understand the gravity of the situation and the concerns raised by many parents and writers regarding predatory contracts on WebNovel.com.

It's deeply concerning to hear about any platform taking advantage of minors and using deceptive tactics to obtain rights to their creative work. Such practices are not only unethical but also raise serious legal and moral questions about the treatment of young writers.

As an author and advocate for the writing community, I strongly believe that all writers, especially minors, should be protected from exploitation and provided with transparent and fair contract terms. Platforms should prioritize the welfare and rights of their users, particularly those who are not legally able to provide informed consent.

It is crucial for writers, especially young and aspiring ones, to exercise caution when dealing with any publishing platform or contract. Always seek guidance and advice from trusted adults, mentors, or literary organizations before entering into any agreements.

Additionally, this situation highlights the importance of researching and carefully selecting the platforms where writers choose to publish their work. Writers should be vigilant in reviewing terms and conditions, seeking legal counsel if needed, and choosing platforms that prioritize the protection and rights of their contributors.

As a writing community, we should stand together to advocate for the fair treatment and ethical practices in the publishing industry, and I hope that awareness and discussions surrounding this issue will lead to positive change in the future.

Please remember, dear writers, your creativity and work are valuable, and you have the right to be treated with respect and fairness. Let us work together to create a safe and supportive environment for all writers, regardless of their age or experience. 📚✨🌟

The goal here is to show you what AIs like ChatGPT are capable of doing and as such the AI sections are directly copy/pasted into this page without any edits, changes, or fact checking done, so that you can see what AI output looks like.

The goal of this page is to show you how to write long, detailed command prompts that will get ChatGPT to output less generic and more useful content for you. Please remember, when using AI for your own content that AI is a random generator that guesses what word should logically come next and is NOT actually giving you correct answers to your questions as it has no ability to comprehend word meanings; and as such LLM AIs have a very high rate of fact inaccuracies, often outputting incorrect and inaccurate information at a rate as high as 64% to 73% in 8 times out of every 10 answers, which has been proven by numerous studies.

As of July 2023, there are currently more then 300 LLM AI apps and programs available with varying degrees of outputting informational accuray. As of July 2023, MOST of those has an accuracy rate of only 2% to 3%.

I choose to use ChatGPT for this article, because it has the highest rate of NOT giving inaccurate information, of any AI language model currently available, however it's inaccuracy rate is still higher then 50% inaccurate output more then 50% of the time, HOWEVER, as the June 2023 Stanford and Berkeley studies have shown, ChatGPT is only fully accurate 2.4% of the time, and this 2.4% is the MOST accurate AI rate out there as of July 2023.

The fact that ChatGPT is only 100% accurate 2.4% of the time and it is the MOST accurate of ANY of the AIs currently available, shows how very alarmingly INACCURATE any output from AI is and why you SHOULD NOT be using it for research or anything requiring factual information. Please keep this in mind when using AI programs in your own writing.

If you choose to use LLM AI's such as ChatGPT for your content, please remember that t is NOT a research program, it is NOT a search engine, and 88 times out of 10 it is going to give you as much as 75% inaccurate information. DO NOT use LLM AIs to create your content, unless you plan on doing huge amounts of fact checking and actual research to ensure that the content you publish is accurate.


So, I was over on Reddit, you like I often am, and found this question. And answered it, like I do. However, the answer I initially gave was a simple generic answer. If you want to read my original answer unaltered, simply click on Reddit's embed feature links which Reddit provides for webmasters to be able to post their answers on their websites, while linking back to the original thread on Reddit (if you didn't know Reddit offered and encouraged the use of this feature, look for it in the "share" features underneath every post, comment, and reply on Reddit).

I am answering random questions today about writing, self-publishing, character creation, and world building, over on Reddit and decided to take my answers from there and expand upon them even further over here. So that's what this page is. Me rambling on about various aspects of world building techniques I use when writing the Quaraun series. The questions I am answering are embedded here. Clicking the link in the embedded question will take you to the original Reddit page where you can see the original answer along with other people's answers.
