Epic Space Opera'z Demise :(

Been worldbuilding this sprawling sci-fi universe for like, a decade? Planned a series of novels, 'The Galaxiad'. Had everything from star-crossed alien lovers to galaxy-wide wars. Couldn't make a dent when pitching to publishers. Everyone wants the next 'Expanse' but no one wants to take a chance on the unknown. Sigh, guess not every star gets a chance to shine. Back to the drawing board, or maybe not.

I don't say much here, but had to log in and say this sucks. Felt the same when my music never hit. Try not to be disheartened, maybe it's just not the right time. Your star will shine eventually, keep it up!

Hey, don't scrap your universe just yet. Try weaving some unexpected storyline, like reality is just a sim and your characters gotta fight the devs. Plot twists attract eyeballs!

Everyone's got space wars and aliens. What makes yours different, huh? Maybe you need a twist, something fresh that'll spark interest. Pitch it again, but with a new angle. Good luck!

Hang in there! Your story sounds epic and it deserves an audience. Share some snippets here maybe? We love that stuff, and who knows, a publisher might stumble upon your work and love it.

I've been in the trenches with you. My own magnum opus never saw the light of day. But that doesn't mean the story in your heart isn’t worth telling. If the publishers don’t see it yet, self-publish a chapter or two on a platform for serial fiction. Let the real audience, the readers, decide if it's worth their time. Keep the faith!

A decade of worldbuilding - respect, that's some serious effort. Sure it's tough to break into the scene, but think about crowdfunding or posting chapters on a blog or social media to build up your own fanbase. The 'Expanse' started as a series of posts on a forum, right? Keep pushing, and keep us posted here, for real!

Man, I feel this on so many levels. I've been trying to get my fantasy series off the ground and it's brutal out there. But don't give up, dude! Maybe try self-publishing? There's a lot of platforms where you can get your work out without a publisher. Who knows, it might just get enough traction on its own!
