I told them it sounds like I'm a fan of cults, like I have a shrine to Jim Jones in my apartment.
You should serve Kool-Aid at your book release party.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There was a punk band called The Cult. Maybe it means you're a fan of them.

I can sort of understand what they are trying to get at, but fandoms don't just form about cult tv or movies. Heck the NFL can be considered to have a fandom, but nobody would call it a cult sport.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
::sigh::
I have to get over this shit and be fucking grateful.

I think it's casting a smaller net, Tim thinks it's going to sell a lot of books.
I find it insulting, and cant figure out why they want to make me sound like a n00b.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
cant figure out why they want to make me sound like a n00b.
Because they're not thinking about marketing to fandom. They're thinking about marketing to the larger world.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah...it's just a weird word to have on the cover. I don't understand why the marketing people seem so allergic to the word "online." It's a perfectly good buzzword!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The publisher is printing up mousepads with the cover for giveaways.
Ooh!
We didn't have DARE at my school, that I remember. I feel like those druggie time-lapse photo series would be the best anti-drug message for anyone. That and meth-mouth.

My advice is not to obsess over the subtitle -- it's the title in BIG letters, and the cute graphic that most buyers will register at a glance. Then there will be the copy on the back, et cetera. Do not sweat the small stuff.
