What, you think no one likes to read fiction? Science fiction is dead? Then why are you in this forum?

Seriously, did someone kick your dog or something today? You seemed willing to instantly attack me (whom you don't know), criticize a book (which you've never read), and engage in a fight when someone points out your error. You seriously need to chill dude. This forum is about time travel. It seemed like the logical place to talk about a new work of fiction focused on the subject. If you can't handle that, then I suggest you find another forum to visit.

For your information, there are more than 9,500 works of fiction being funded through Kickstarter. So apparently LOTS of people are willing to fund a work of fiction.

If truly bye, then that's a good thing.

And again... offering an opinion about a book you've never read makes you look like an ill-informed troll. Enjoy your anger-filled day.

If the pledge levels were a bit lower I'd definitely fund it.

The way I look at it is, it's basically £16 for a paperback sci-fi book and £23 for a hardback sci-fi book; that's a bit more than what I'd be willing to pay for a book. £16 is the top end of what I personally would pay for a hardback.

Actually, every point he made was just refuted. He obviously knows nothing about how crowdfunding sites work (people don't pay a dime unless the book is actually published), and he calls it theoretical claptrap even though he hasn't read a single word of the book. But you're right... to some people, facts mean nothing. They will believe something is irrefutable even when they haven't read a word and know nothing about the topic.

The point is, you didn't bother to refute him.
You merely bothered to insult him.
That's not a logical argument.

If its that good why doesnt a decent publisher take it up?

I did not start the conversation by insulting, but I reserve the right to defend myself when someone attacks me without cause. I am treating you with respect because you are being respectful to me. That other person was immediately derisive and insulting, without even having looked at a single page of the book.

Most books today are self-published, and that costs funds. Unless you are J.K.Rowling, you stand a better chance of getting a book published by funding it yourself.
