Kindle Vella: Pulp Time!

So it looks like the basic launch is already filled with what I would say is concentrated effort to get stories to the forefront depending on beta reader timing. 

The advantage right now? Certain kinds of Tags aren't flooded just yet. But as I noted on Twitter, sponsored stuff unrelated to genre or tag category is still annoyingly present. 

For me? I'll be looking for the tags:

  • Uplifting
  • Heroic
  • Good Vs Evil
  • Superversive
  • Space Fantasy
  • Pulp Rev
  • Space Opera
  • Sci Fi
  • Superheroes
  • Good And Evil
  • Optimistic 

Will likely ignore stuff that has ROMANCE as the primary. Like with these tags:


But it will make for an efficient way to find readers you want. Like the way this guy set up his tags, I put him on my list already. 



Yeah, gonna actively search for pulp rev favorites and friends. Superhero Prose has an advantage here at the moment btw. Since the erotica and paranormal non-sense hasn't flooded that tag yet.

Ill try superhero prose next to see if that narrows it down further.  First you have to click on the key icon to get your free 200 points. Then you have to get one of the packages in order to be able to nominate one favorite a week. So that's why I think some beta groups already made the featured and favorites rankings a bit lopsided from the get go.


But things don't have to stay that way. Methinks pulp rev should form voting blocks as well. That way the more populated tags and genres don't drown out the rest.

And yes: LOOK AT THESE TAGS! WEEE!
