#ironage #indiecomics #writingcommunity

Opening the last segment of this weeks interview, Nicky P tried to dig in to what exactly James would like fans of his work doing for him. While he mentions the obligatory Amazon reviews so he can hit his minimums for Amazon to promote his books, he also calls out the artists in his community to stop wasting time drawing fan art of legacy brands in favor of ding the same for independent creators. He emphasized the importance of cultivating a community around independent intellectual properties, creating a space for artists to showcase their talents.

The hosts delved into the intricacies of James Craig's storytelling approach. They discussed his epic fantasy series, "The Undying Emperor," and its unconventional narrative structure, the progression fantasy. James claims the style is akin to leveling up in Dungeons and Dragons. James elaborated on how he divided the story into standalone books, each representing a different region and adventure in the protagonist's journey.

The web novel, available on rural road, offers a raw, unedited glimpse into his creative process. While he acknowledged potential quality issues, he highlighted the steady stream of content reaching an audience of around 1,400 readers per chapter. He likened this content stream to handling something similar to an email list. In contrast, the books available on platforms like Amazon undergo rigorous editing and polishing to meet higher standards.
