@mods is it even possible for this question to resolve now that the creator is banned and as far as I can tell hadn't revealed his real name?

Maybe I'm not understanding this but apparently only 0.1% of published books are best sellers. Anyways, I like the ambition

@ItsMe you're using the wrong group when calculating base rates. Consider base rates of someone who's been top writer on fanfic or Wattpad like sites

@firstuserhere Can you link any of your writings?

I doubt you'll get it but I don't doubt it enough not to take a 400% payout

@firstuserhere Any updates?

@Simon74fe no, just saw the limit orders were depleted + had spare mana

fun fact, with enough money you can cheat your way onto these lists by buying truckloads of your own books, which is how a lot of the books get on the bestseller lists.

Just to warn you all, I think this market might be cursed:

where does co-authoring fall?

@MichaelWheatley If the co-authoring is a significant enough thing to make it so that both authors share the authorship, then it counts. Assistance to another for writing their book doesn't. Something like Good Omens counts:

@firstuserhere Thanks. I was afraid of another AI Letter situation so I'm trying ot work out all the angles.

If I lose this bet I will pirate your book to recoup my losses.

@jskf I will upload the EPUB to wherever libgen points to, myself xD

your publisher might not like that!

I've never authored a book before.

@firstuserhere the longest thing I've ever written was 8 years ago, a 15k word long story centred around death and regret.

(Excluding any theses written)

@firstuserhere do you intend to write a book?

@Stralor YES! I have wanted to for many years and have written short stories and even attempted Nanowrimo challenges! Speaking of that, maybe I could do it this year as well, would be a fun exercise
