john cena is proof that cargo shorts are a sign of virtue and humility, and a zen-like view of the purpose of life being nothing more than to help one another, but fashion isn't ready for that conversation
yeah. I kinda had to also realize I was being misunderstood, 'cause for the longest time I thought I was just screwing up every time I tried to explain myself.
Just said "Let's go back and remember what we did today" and Claude told me that DJ Lance Rock would be proud, lol
Yeah, I fully agree! (also TIL about Reylo, lol) As a total aside, I remember feeling real amateurish writing fanfic in the 90s but, now I guess the whole publishing industry is sitting around wishing it had fanfic's numbers. Oh, how the turn tables
It's endemic! I fell off a book, recently, and looked it up hoping to resolve the story only to discover that it was straight up serials-filed-off fanfic; literally! It was AWFUL. It can't have gone through any editorial at all. They purely published because it had a big AO3 following, I guess?
But like, what do they give back if people already have their customers ready and community built? Logistics? Why pretend you have editors and stuff at that point? Just admit you're a truck / warehouse company with a fancy logo.
I have to think that on some level, it's just their ineptitude. There are evergreen ways to plant the seeds of a community, grow it, and build up markets. Lots of us know them. Either they don't know how or they don't want to do it / expect everyone else to do it on their behalf, so they can benefit
The thing that bothers me about this is that it’s a marketing oriented bias. It’s about who commands a readership. It’s so damn lazy of a publishing house, they’re unable to say “we need to foster new market streams”. They only want freebies
It is quite simple. The sheer volume of what we do will expand, because it is not stamped out Product. It’s invention. We are not seeing automation, we are seeing conceptual fulcrum change. It’s like handing computers to mathematicians in the 60s and expecting Math to be solved and done. Nonsense
