And, as long as “your ebook” is a christian cyber...punk business-minded erotic novalla and “your way” is with rambling paragraphs and keyword-stuffed sentences almost nearly as difficult to follow as this episode description, then you, my friend are in luck. It's all descriptions of ebooks this time around, folks. Settle in. This episode, The F Plus knocks at the door of a woman in an illegitimate manner (and the whole spiritual realm is on alert).

Starting point is 00:02:39 It'll be Alf Legends. Okay. Anyway, yeah, I really am not into these these these reboots i i'm a little annoyed by it and to that end uh i found something that i think will get us through i think what we need what we need is new and this is probably a term you've never heard before what we need is new ips and i put quotes around that because IP stands for intellectual property.

Starting point is 00:03:38 we need innovative new ideas and I think that I think that we have a solution Kaniya Sutra has provided me with a website And I think that we have a solution. Kainé Sutra has provided me with a website called Smashwords. Smashwords. Word smash! Smashwords is your e-book your way.
Starting point is 00:04:07 It is a self-publishing medium. It's not really much on, what do you want to say, website design. But some of the things here on the homepage are King of Cat, Romantic Piano Music Collection Volume 5. There's a book called How to Make Friends and Not Incinerate People. Great, good. And A Dinosaur is a Man's Best Friend, parentheses, a serialized novel, parentheses, comma, part four,
Starting point is 00:04:40 colon, quotation mark, Blues for a Drifter. Wonderful. I've read all of these books. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this seems like something like, you know, if just the Kindle market is just a little bit too fancy pants for you, then you can self-publish your e-book Your Way on Smashwords.
Starting point is 00:05:02 There's genres like coming of age uh educational fairy tale literature mashups uh that's my favorite genre uh themes and motifs is a genre that i enjoy very much that's a good genre um but uh we i think before so we're gonna be looking at some books we're gonna be looking at some books that are self-published on Smashwords. But before we get to that, Achilles, before we get to that, I want to go to the fact of Smashwords itself. All right. So I just have a couple questions. I know you have a lot.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Whoa. Wow. This page scrolls a long time. People ask a lot of questions. Yeah. There's a lot of questions that need to be answered here. Well, let me just... I'm just going to cut just a couple here.
Starting point is 00:05:48 What is Smashwords? Oh, wait. Do you mean the origin of the name Smashwords? No, no, no. I mean, what is Smashwords? The question I'm asking you is, what is Smashwords? What is Smashwords? What is Smashwords?
Starting point is 00:06:03 Smashwords is a global e-book distributor serving authors, publishers, readers, and major e-book retailers. Smashwords is ideal for publishing novels, personal memoirs, poetry chapbooks, short and long form fiction, and nonfiction.
Starting point is 00:06:20 If you've written it, we want to help you share it and sell it. We distribute books to Apple Books, 51 countries, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, which powers the bookstores of multiple other retailers such as FNAC in France and WH Smith in the UK, Overdrive, Gardner's, Baker & Taylor, Bleo.com, and the Access360 library platform, and others. Yeah, okay, but what does Smashwords offer readers? Smashwords offers book lovers an opportunity to discover thousands of independently published e-books. We offer affordably priced e-books for immediate sampling, purchase, and download.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Most Smashwords books are readable on any e-reading device. One purchase and you gain access to multiple formats. Okay, okay. You have a long answer to the question, what does Smashwords offer literary agents? Which is weird because that's a large paragraph that says nothing. Nothing. If you were a literary agent, you shouldn't be here. Okay, there's also a question of what are e-books? Nothing. If you were a literary agent, you shouldn't be here.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Okay. There's also a question of what are e-books? I'm so deep in this fact. Wait a minute. Why am I here? What is a website? Anyway, I have another question. Your site's called Smashwords, right? Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Okay. What is the origin of the name Smashwords? Oh, well, it's a manufactured name, unlike other names. And it captures in the yin and yang, the positive and negative, both interlinked of the writing process. It represents the angst that many writers experience through the creative process of writing. Huh? It represents angst? Yeah, smashwords. That. It represents angst? Huh? It represents angst? Yeah, smash.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Words. That's not what angst means. It's the smash burger of literature. Okay, okay. Yeah. So they're like rosemary covered words. I like that. Yeah, so it represents the angst
Starting point is 00:08:18 that many writers experience during the creative process of writing, revising, and editing. As any writer will tell you, the writing process can be painful. Get also ecstatically joyous. And finally, after the writer navigates the writing process
Starting point is 00:08:33 and releases their finished work, it means success, such as smash hit, or the phrase, absolutely smashing. Absolutely smashing. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Uh-huh. Do I get charged for reading a sample? No, samples are free. Oh, okay. So are books returnable if I don't like them? No! All sales are final. This is why most authors allow you to sample much of their book for free so you can try before you buy. Idiot.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Cool. Can we look at books? Let's look at books. All right, all right, all right. We should look at books. You're absolutely right about that. So let's look at some books. And let's start off with a book called Je.

Starting point is 00:10:28 Good. She'd know it was all him. He didn't understand her anger. There was no logic to it. She'd wanted him on every level earlier, and he'd been happy to oblige throughout the night. Nothing held back between them. Raw and hungry.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Just how it should be. Jude just stood there in front of her. That damn, as in a thing that stops water, that damn confidence oozing from him, smiling back at her, and Ava didn't like it. You need to know your place, female, he told her. Hell no, he didn't.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Ava gripped her guns and calmly I'm hoping that's her muscles. And a calm certainty overcame her. She was in control here. I know exactly what my place is, arsehole, and it's not on my knees, she sneered.
Starting point is 00:11:26 His smile got only wider, and that really pissed her off. But baby, you're so fucking good at it. Ava fired. Who knows who said that? Ava fired and kept firing until both guns were empty and smoking. Ejecting both clips, she reloaded in seconds. I love I love

She happens upon a waterfall and a naked hunk bathing underneath it. When she finds out his name is Avery Bell, she's dumbstruck.
Starting point is 00:13:15 She believes she's meant to love someone named Avery. It all goes back to a message in a bottle she found when she was nine. A letter written by a soldier named Avery to his sweetheart named Emma. He'd written in the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack during World War II. I got all my plot ideas from TV tropes. Since then, Emma has been
Starting point is 00:13:36 searching and saving her virginity for her own Avery. But Avery Bell is as mysterious as he is irresistible. Emma learns about his family secrets and bitterness in the course of this vacation an accident and a tragic death will shake both of them to a core her singular faith in him her unwavering belief in love and destiny proves to be his saving grace wow she sounds like she's dumber than a box of rocks. This sounds like,
Starting point is 00:14:09 this sounds like if blue lagoon was about a loveless marriage, his personality is pretty terrible, but his name is Avery. And he smells cause he only bathes in waterfalls. Oh, I'm learning about your business. I'm learning about your bitterness. I'm learning about your bitterness. That's nice. Okay, so, yeah.

Just because Necromancer Psy and Alpha Wolf Dakar are now mated doesn't mean things are going to go smoothly. When Psy's father visits with Psy's intended bride, all hell breaks loose in the Necromancer's mansion, and Dakar has some problems of his own he needs to resolve. Must read book one first.

Starting point is 00:16:37 lot, a lot of Hunky Man books, like the Passion Punch King. I think I played that video game. Snake Snack. I think she meant to call the necromancer Smize, because that dude's not smiling.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Oh, yeah. But he's giving me some smoky eyes. Yeah, yeah, no, I agree, I agree. Anyway, so that's the romance section. We're gonna go to the next section here, because the next section is called Wizards and Shit. Woo! Yeah!

It's Don Arbud, and this is a book called Demon War. It's a book about three Sims characters and then demons behind them.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Anyway, Demon War. I got to tell you about this. Demons are real. Angels are real. Angels are real. They are locked in a deadly war with mankind trapped in the middle. Each side uses mankind for its purposes. Demon war is Tom Sanders' account of his battle with demons and the help angels gave him. It is a story that teaches survival skills for mankind to survive this conflict. him it is a story that teaches survival skills for mankind to survive this conflict are you ready to stand up and fight or will you allow yourself to be possessed by demons and lose your
Starting point is 00:18:11 will this the war is a life and death hostility also known as war and demon war is your only hope for survival read and heed the warnings the war the war is a life and death hostility the war is a life and death hostility okay and the war okay so so that's one fact right but the war is a life and death hostility but the demon but demon war the other thing is demon war is your only hope for survival in the war which again, is life and death hostility. Okay, good. Good. I'm captivated.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Yeah. How much to get this book in print? That's a good question. How much are... Okay, so $3.99 for the virtual version. Yeah, I don't think they print. I think it's just e-books. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:19:02 I don't think Smash Bros. does. Well, how much does it cost you to go to Kinko's? Yeah, fair enough. So this is just a site that competes with Kindle. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yep, 100%. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Well, good luck, Smashwords. Maybe you're doing fine. Maybe you're just doing fine. I think I remember many years ago during our Kindle porn episode that there was some drama at that point that Kindle was making rules about Kindle porn. And so people were leaving Kindle porn for Smashwords where there was less rules. I think. I feel like I remember that. Anyway, nutshell.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Yeah. Let's see. I'm going to give you a choice, um, let's see, let's see. I'm going to give you a choice actually. Um, let's see. So we're again, we're in the, uh, wizards and shit, uh, category. Um, and, uh, boy, there sure is some shit in here. Um, so, uh, oh boy, these all sound really bad, but, uh, okay. So one is called the Rift Avatar.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Uh-huh. that's one option um and the second option is the first player parentheses alter game book number one close parentheses lit rpg series oh i that one sounds fascinating yeah i'd like to go with that one all right all right. Well, this, you know, so I guess the question is, like, is this worse than Ready Player One? And let's find out. So the first player, Altered Game, book number one, lit RPG series. Oh, this is a special book, because the document submitter's note says that if you read the author bio, this is one of the guys who made Stalker, apparently. Yay!
Starting point is 00:20:48 That video game with a really intense plot. Okay. This is Altera, where you can be the master of your own castle or a field hand on a farm. And this is Jack, who wants to make his way to a different continent, hidden in the virtual mist. And this is the, who wants to make his way to a different continent, hidden in the virtual mist. And this is the house that Jack built! And this is an ancient questline, buried under new versions of the game. Jack's goal? Create his own guild, buy a ship, and set off on the great journey.
Starting point is 00:21:20 The journey of his life. The dangerous gravediggers are not the only ones opposing him. Necromancers from Sinister Nightmare, Elite Alpha Citizens, and Relic Hunters are only a small fraction of the enemies that the first player will have to face. Cool, so, uh, nothing but descriptions of video game combat?
Starting point is 00:21:38 Eh, pretty much. And then he hit him with the sword, and a red text that said minus 20 came out of his head. And then he hit him with the sword and a red text that said minus 20 came out of his head. And then he hit him with a sword with 25 damage. 62 DPS, I don't know. In the perilous wasteland, the drifter Jack finds an abandoned truck where an old world game console is hidden. This moment marks the beginning of Jack's path to the lost continent, hidden in the virtual depths of the colossal Altera.
Starting point is 00:22:09 He still isn't aware of the enemies standing in his way. Did they just... No, they just said this again, okay? Not only are the Guild of Gravediggers and the Sinister Necromancers of Nightmare against him, but also the Secret Masters of the game world themselves. The Discovery's ancient quest lines they just said that, and long buried under new versions of the game.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Earlier he said that the Necromancer were from the Sinister Nightmare, but now the Necromancers themselves are Sinister and they happen to be from Nightmare. These are separate things to state. See, now that we know that both things are sinister, we have a lot better world-building concept.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Okay. All right. The discoveries of ancient quest lines long buried under new versions of the game give Jack access to the Dark Service. This is a special branch of character development which is no longer available in the modern version of the game What?
Starting point is 00:23:07 The messenger of a great goddess Possesses a night weapon And is venerated by an entire race Of NPCs Just how long Will this road Just how will this road end And it does indeed have an end

Yay! You got one, Kumquat. What did we learn from any of this, F+,? You know, obviously, Amazon, the Kindle store is going to fail any day now. Yeah. Yeah, you're getting fucking flanked. And even going through this, I found a bunch of other e-book
Starting point is 01:14:23 sites, so there's a whole bunch of these. The thing that happens in the Kindle store is you accidentally come across good books. Here you don't. If history has taught me anything in about, I don't know, eight to ten years, Smashwords will control the entire backbone of the Internet. Oh, no, for sure. Yeah. For sure. Like, yeah, for sure.

Starting point is 01:15:50 And obviously, you know, you can just make a PDF and, like, distribute this thing. Like, how do you think people... Do you think people just, like, choose five? Or do you think that there's a reason to hone in on one versus the other? Because the Smashwords thing does not look... It doesn't look professional, I would say. Like, it doesn't make me think this is a professional organization. I mean, because of course I did,
Starting point is 01:16:14 I was reading some of the, like, author interviews. Okay. They're pretty good. Yeah, and some of them actually were talking about how, like, oh, well, the Smashword platform allows me to track who clicked and read my shitty sex book. Oh, shit. You know how to find us. Right.
Starting point is 01:16:34 So, I mean, maybe there's some software they built that makes this a more compelling thing than uploading your... Like real-time spankalytics. Right. But I honestly expected this to be more porn. Like, I mean, if... Yeah, I hear you. I don't know. I mean, because there sure is a lot of categories
Starting point is 01:17:01 and it's kind of all over the place. Like, porn would make the most sense um and i mean there's a lot of it of course but uh oh if there's an adult content filter button near the top yeah and if you if you if you would if it's got for whatever reason has like four different stages of it if you set it to plus, almost everything that appears on your screen is porn.
