This community is special because of YOU. We don’t do social media. We don’t throw money at Google / Facebook / Amazon for advertising. We don’t pound on our chests or use link-bait.
We’re just…us. Thank you for loving us. The feeling is mutual.
The whole gang is getting involved with this…
It has been pointed out to me, that I have not empowered this community to hep spread the word and get eyes on Life of Fiction. That I have not made it easy for you to share what you like about these stories.
Not everyone likes social media, or shares things via email.
I don’t, so why did I expect you to do it?
Dax said I was stupid. Chuck said thoughtless. Höbin said ignorant.
Death just…stared.
For my part, I’m sorry…and I’d like to fix this by opening this new idea to the community.
What Kind Of Merch Should We Make?
In the menu, at the top of the website, you’ll find a new button called “MERCH”. This links to our new store, which is being worked on as we speak. There’s not much there yet, but this is changing…which is WHY I’m contacting you.
What kind of merch would you like to see?
What would inspire YOU?
What do you think would draw attention to get readers to come to Life of Fiction?
Here’s the shirt designed for Höbin, which he loves…
Death has joined the community (don’t worry, he assured me NONE of you are on ‘The List’)…and this is the first short we have for him…
One of MY favorites has always been:

Want to help keep me in basic office supplies?
I’m always running out of basic supplies……if you’re willing & able, you can click on my list of what I use and buy a product …..OR…. you can buy me a coffee and I’ll get what I need when I need it. THANKS!
I truly enjoy that dried-blood color for my suit.
So smooth...
while i enjoy puzzles and would love your art on them, i dont know how good theyd be at spreading the word. good as merch yes, for existing fans. but often done privatly alone
as far as things that others could see shirts are always nice, i personally also enjoy patches and stickers
i think book covers, item(like the crystal for example) art and iconography, and a branching out of chars, even just sketches or old comic pages... as shirts and such would be nice. show off some of the uniquness. the lovely blue people, dax, more death, all of those could be fun to see and perhaps pull in people curious to see what any of it means
does that make sense?
its just random bablings though, im definitely not a marketing specialist lol just an enjoyer of fun things
