I will be giving this book away again this Halloween. From Friday, October 29, 2021, 12:00 AM PDT until Sunday, October 31, 2021, 11:59 PM PDT, it will be free on Amazon. I hope you enjoy it if you haven't had a chance to catch it free in previous give-away. LINK: Halloween Again?

I should clarify, that should only happen if the book was in Kindle Unlimited. I have no idea if it was never enrolled.

Not to split hairs but did you agree with me or did autocorrect take over?

I liked it. However, did you mean to use pinioning in the context of "pinioning my arms to my side" instead of pinning? Overall, good premise and I like what I'm reading.

I read mostly hear and from Kindle. Amazon is the biggest seller of all books. I sell mostly on Amazon. Smashwords didn't work out too well for me. ABDiscovery.com.AU is selling my Ingrid Chronicles series so that is going well.

I thought that was understood. LOL

I started posting stories at WetSet and won the story of the month a few times. Then, I moved to ILuvDiapers and had several stories included in the monthly newsletter. After that, I have been a member of DailyDiapers since about the inception. I'm member number 65 and joined in December of 2004. I posted many of my stories here. Unfortunately, when the story forum was corrupted, I decided to jump to publishing on Amazon. I still post a few stories here and I try to make an Amazon story free for the DD users from time to time.

Agreed. It was more a curiosity than anything. I'd expect the practical limit to be somewhere around 6-8 liters/1.5-2 gallons, depending on position and distribution. A guy doesn't use near as much of the back and girls don't use a lot of the very front without some diaper gymnastics. (Hmm, I'd like to see some diaper gymnastics) I find an Abena or Molicare are perfect for most situations, including overnight. Even a Tena Classic works well for discrete and everyday use. I've got some Rearz and a few other premium diapers that I just can't seem to bring myself to waste if I'm not going to at least give them a good workout.

Certainly. That is the topic of a yet to be released story I'm still working on. The root cause will be known in that book. I'm thinking it will be the last in the series. I have two more also in the works. The woman astronaut that was the last women with bladder control who returns to earth and another about a group of women that rebel and form a resistance organization. This book, A Smart Girl in Diapers, shows while women were robbed of continence, some high IQ girls weren't content to be arm candy and baby factories. However, I can tell you it was discovered early on that the virus attacked a recessive gene not present on the Y-chromosome. Women, having two X-chromosomes, allowed the virus to express its full payload on them. I believe this was revealed in the Book 2 - The New Normal.

Nobody is jumping much of anything with 9.5kilograms around their crotch. That's almost 21 pounds for us 'Mericans.

First, I have NOT tried this diaper. I have only heard about it on the Love In Brief Podcast. They claim an amazingly huge 9500ml capacity. That over 2 and 1/2 gallons! Imagine. Can you imagine four 2-liters and almost a fifth hanging from your waist? https://amzn.to/3eHnEPb

My latest book in the Diaper Plague series, Book 6 - A Smart Girl in Diapers, has been released on Amazon in Kindle format. Here’s the blurb: When all the women in the world are incontinent from the plague, those that come after never knew a time without being wet and in diapers. But what's a smart girl to do in this world? This is the sixth in the Diaper Plague series. It is the story of Emma Boxer, the smartest girl in her class, possibly in the whole school. Her tale illustrates how a brilliant girl, deprived of a properly stimulating education, still manages to find love and grow. Things are not all sunshine and rainbows for a smart girl, though. She must learn to navigate this man's world or face the consequences.

Aside from Patreon and DeviantArt, are there other sites or ways of selling your work have you had success with? Any you would call the best? I use Amazon, both Kindle and Kindle Unlimited. Of late, I've also placed some thing with ABUniverse that has done well but I don't have any stats yet. Content/Genre questions Does anyone take commissions? Has this been effective for you? How have you structured your pricing? Do you have anyone regularly commissioning work? I don't take commissions. I write what I like. I have a hard time writing what others want unless it meshes heavily with my personal tastes. "Add-ons" questions Has anyone commissioned visual artwork to accompany any of their writing? Do you think it increased sales enough to justify the expense? I've never paid anyone to do artwork. I have generally found free, public domain images and made them work with a little photoshopping. Has anyone hired a narrator to record your work? Has that sold enough to justify the expense? My sales are low enough that I don't have any level of confidence that paying for narrator would be cost effective. Collaboration questions Is it worth it to work with an editor? I'm thinking primarily a proofreader, but it's expensive. If anyone has had any luck with a proofing program that catches things like missing words and typos that aren't actually misspellings, I'd be most interested. I use ProWriting Aid to do most of my proofing for grammar and spelling. It helps quite a bit as long as you examine the changes without just mindlessly clicking everything. Other means of earning money questions Has anyone considered any other ways of making money by serving the ABDL community? - I have not Has anyone tried starting a business for physical products for the ABDL community? - I have not I've not gotten rich with Amazon but 30+ books have earned me some extra spending money every year. It is a hobby for me so money was never my main concern.

I've got a pair for you, too!

Someone had your book in their Kindle and it sat for a very long time before they decided they would open it and read it. I've had it happen, too.

If you logged into the KDP account, you should be able to see a report on where the money came from. If you search for the book on Amazon, do you find it? The other option is someone had it in their Kindle and finally started reading it.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "The bigger they are, the harder they fall!" before? Plenty of competitors exist but they all want it their way or are carving out their own niches. If a few of them would band together instead of living off the scraps Amazon allows them, they would be a force to be reckoned with. Does anyone even remember Blockbuster, Borders, Kodak, Pan-Am, Polaroid or Toys R Us? Kodak was in business for more than 100 years and they went out with a whimper when the next big thing in pictures killed them and Polaroid. Netflix killed Blockbuster and I'm sure Amazon had a hand in Borders' demise. There is nothing too big to fail. Entities become too big to survive. Dinosaurs demonstrated this perfectly. The smallest animals were the ones that survived, the lean, efficient ones, not the behemoths that perished. What are current events and realities today can quickly change, often in a ball of flaming fire in the sky. LOL

They do not have a monopoly. You and I are free to publish any place we like. There are plenty of options. Barnes&Noble for one. Amazon does have the lion's share of the market though. If you want the most eyeballs, Amazon is the best bang. As for Kindle Unlimited and people reading "for free" everything in KU, they pay a monthly fee that is divided among all the pages read and distributed to the authors per page read. At $0.004 per page, it isn't big money but if you have 10,000 pages read a month, it adds up pretty quickly. I've had a few 10,000 page views per month and those are sweet checks that were in addition to sales.

To be fair, you CAN find snow on Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea on the big island of Hawaii. Both are well above 13,500 ft tall and have snow most winters. https://www.hawaii.com/big-island/things-to-do/snowboard

I hope it didn't disappoint. Would one set in the same world but in reverse go over? A woman that identifies as a man? The mechanics of the universe would make it a more arduous legal task but I've been thinking of it as a project.

ProWriting Aid is also available in Google Docs. It helps with a lot of my writing but I fight it on some things. I disable those rules that cramp my style. Also, it can point out words you overuse. My downfall is "just" as in "She just wet herself" and "I just need another chance."

I just published the first of my Ingrid Chronicles with ABDiscovery. We shall see how that goes. I'm hopeful but not counting on it for the purchase of my first private jet. The method you are using now is called "going wide" by most in the subreddit I'm in. If your work is compatible with Amazon and already there, you should give Kindle Unlimited a try. You will have to remove them from all other sites that sell it but I'd bet you see more money because the folks that have Kindle Unlimited will take a chance on it because they have already paid a monthly fee. I can discuss in PM if you want to quiz me. After all, you said yourself you've made $0.00 in 7 years with non-Amazon. Give the pay-per-page option a try. It literally doubles my income. That's also why I'm curious to see how ABDiscovery works out. I think I'm paid something like $0.0045 a page. A 200 page book read once is $0.90. My profit on a 200 page book that sells for $2.99 is usually about $2.05. If my book is read twice, that is about as good as a sale. Some months I have 10K pages read. I'm not getting rich by any stretch. If it was about money, I'd write steamy romance where some of those folks make over $10,000 A MONTH! Here's a chart of my book sales and pages read. The slump to 0 pages read for a few months was me trying Smashwords. That was a low point in income.

I'm trying something different for a series I was afraid Amazon would not allow. I'm publishing my Ingrid Chronicles with ABDiscovery. If you are interested in reading a 40K word book with two complete stories, you can check it out at this link: https://abdiscovery.com.au/the-ingrid-chronicles/ Cover art and blurb for your perusal. Ingrid is a Dom. Her favorite method of dominating her subs is to put them into 24/7 diapers and make them use them. Two women - Lissa and Olivia - come under her ‘training’ and the future is now unwritten for both of them.

Never had that happen. I'd be interested in hearing what you discover.

It comes from writing for more than 20 years. I've still got old stories that most likely won't fly on Amazon. I'd love to get my Mistress Ingrid: The Diapering Domme up but I know they would make me nervous, waiting for Amazon to bring down the ban-hammer.
