I write intense character-driven fiction combining fantasy, action, mystery, romance, history, and humor. I write about imperfect protagonists in complex personal, political, psychological, and moral circumstances trying to do the right thing by figuring out who they are and what they believe in.
My current project is to reveal a long story arc through short stories that can be enjoyed on their own; publishing about a thousand words a day, loosely illustrated with the help of AI. Please join me!
My stories are also available at:
And information about the original world and characters is also available at:
The Redprint (“Plan B”)–UPDATED (Plan to maintain Artistic Freedom and Integrity)
Other content providers: Please let me know if you have any other ideas about how to protect my fan relationships and my work.
I. Try to Avoid Getting Kicked Off DeviantArt Again
I’m going to dumb down discussion of controversial social issues on DeviantArt so I’m not arbitrarily kicked off again, editing for serious subject matter the same way I edit for explicit sex and moving all of that to the paid tier.
II. Move Explicit Content Elsewhere
I’m going to stop selling the paid content on DeviantArt since this is a fan building site because I learned from a presentation by the DeviantArt seller support team that monetization here brings increased scrutiny and therefore the chance of being arbitrarily thrown off again. I am moving paid (i.e., explicit) content to a site where I’m not engaged in fan building, so hopefully if I say anything too controversial and I’m forced to move the explicit content or restart all over again, it won’t be somewhere I’m trying to build a relationship with fans. For now, that will be at patreon.com/TheRemainderman.
III. Never Depend on DeviantArt Again—Diversify Platforms
Starting with the reboot, I will be publishing on more than one platform. I am experimenting to see which platforms seem to work for me, and which don’t. I welcome suggestions from other writers and artists. For now:
- CHARACTERHUB: characterhub.com/profile/TheRemainderman
- PATREON: patreon.com/TheRemainderman
- WEBSITE: TheRemainderman.com
IV. Reach Out to Former Watchers
Over the next few days, I will reach out to former watchers whose names I was able to save, to let them know I’m here. It’s a daunting and time-consuming task, so it will take a few days. I apologize to anyone whose name was lost in the chaos.
