[In the Game Tower today… what is going on in the Game Tower today?

Re: Room 📎

[childeishly]

I had no idea this is how you spent your free time.

How about "Life Fucks Us All". Or are we meant to write fiction. [ ayyy. ]

Re: Room 📎

[abovefate]

That could be the sequel.

Re: Room 📎

[childeishly]

Why don't we act like our first novel is a sequel. People will assume it has a second book because it's already good and that it potentially has a following that they've missed out on, so if they don't buy this and get in now it'll be too late.

Re: Room 📎

[abovefate]

I'm not sure how valid that marketing strategy is, Tartaglia. But why not. It's not like these books are going to make sense in either case.

Re: Room 📎

[childeishly]

Just add 2: The Revenge to the end and we're in business. Or... Redemption. Who said this had to make sense. I'm pretty sure it's got to make the opposite of sense.

Re: Room 📎

[abovefate]

Redemption is more poetic, everyone loves to see a good redemption arc for a villain.

Pounded In The Butt By The Concept Of Mortality And The Transient Nature Of Life 2: The Redemption...

Or should we go Pounded In The Butt By The Concept Of Mortality And The Transient Nature Of Life 2: The Dickening... Like Reckoning, but with dicks.

Re: Room 📎

[ ok, he's laughing at that ]

Emet-Selch suggested we make it "The Concept of Mortality, Morality And the Transient Nature of Life", so we have to add Morality in there.

Re: Room 📎

[childeishly]

So just add the dickening part deux to the end of Emet's title. Now what am I putting on the cover? An angry tentacle'd tree and a face on the world morality?

Re: Room 📎

[abovefate]

Yes. But we are putting your face and body on the protagonist.

Re: Room 📎

[childeishly]

I think we may just be using my entire everything. [ loops an arm around his waist to trap him. ] You can be the antagonist.

Statistically sequels suffer a lack of quality if the work was not originally meant to be in multiple installments.
