This is pretty worrying… when specific paid and known legal promotional sites are targeted. 😦
Advice to new writers: Don’t plagiarize. Just don’t.
Just don’t ever do this… the Litrpg community is closely watching this for a result. The evidence is not in her favour.
Tl;dr: Don’t plagiarize. If you must plagiarize, at least be creative. Pick a book that’s out of print, maybe isn’t translated into English so you can rip it off creatively. Don’t plagiarize a book that’s available in English in ebook format so it’s easy to check out.
Long essay:
The laws of the universe keep conspiring to keep me from reviewing Michael Scott-Earle’s Lion’s Quest. That’s been up on my agenda, but then people keep doing stupid stuff and I have to talk about it.
So, James Hunter is a popular and well-liked author. I’ve reviewed his Viridian Online series, and look forward seeing it continue to develop, side-stories and all.
Another soon-to-be author, Laurie Jo Bryant, is putting out a new series called Panguardia Online.
The blurb for her book and James book is nearly the same. By that I mean word-for-word ripoffs, minus a distaff switch on…

Here is my interview with Dawn Chapman
Nice little interview of moi, with a few name drops here and there 🙂
Hello and welcome to my blog, Author Interviews. My name is Fiona Mcvie.
Let’s get you introduced to everyone, shall we? Tell us your name. What is your age?
Hello everyone, I’m Dawn Chapman, I am gonna laugh and say a lady never tells her age though 😀
Fiona: Where are you from?
I’m from the UK, Lancashire and I live in a little village where I mostly grew up. It’s a family home, was my grandparent’s and I spent many years here with them, and now live with my husband, sharing alongside are my mum and stepdad, they now have a separate granny flat.
Fiona: A little about yourself (ie, your education, family life, etc.).
Big questions, my education sucked. No one wanted to help teach the fat kid in school. Besides that, and the ongoing class bullying my upbringing was pretty grim. I turned to writing…

Ascend online by Luke Chmilenko
Excellent review for Ascend Online from Lit RPG Reviews. Fab site to go visit if you love Lit RPG 🙂
Tl;dr:
This gets a 4.5 star review. It’s really good. It doesn’t break any new ground and a lot of it is going to be old saw to LitRPG readers, but the devil is in the details and the details of this book are excellent.
If you’re a reader who wants to know what type of LitRPG it is, it’s a town-building/action style LitRPG. Think of Daniel Black, Aleron Kong’s The Land, G. Akella’s Realm of Arkon, and of course, the book everyone will confuse with this one, Travis Bagwell’s Awaken Online.
The best summary doesn’t come from me, but from someone who wrote that, “It feels like a game designer made this book.” Yes. This is a book with lots of love put into the World and the system. It’s a great addition to the LitRPG genre and I hope the future books continue…
