No, I won't accept your framing by rejecting it. I won't even acknowledge you.
The plagiarism machine that is regularly factually errant, and that poisons the environment, and that ultimately serves the worst corporate masters imaginable, is beneath my contempt.

Snurched from J.R. Cason, whom I do not know, but it provides a handy way to say that there are only 19 reviews of SUPERNATURAL CRIMES UNIT: NYPD Book 1 on Amazon and it would be REALLY FABULOUS if there were 31 more to hit that 50-review threshold.

No literary agent who is going to get you a deal is going to charge you upfront. They make a percentage. That is how it works.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

My friends, I say this with all the love in my heart: Right now might not be the moment for “But we should be TOLERANT and NUANCED about the plagiarism machines!”
Your tolerance and “nuance” will be weaponised by the grifters and their apologists. Please respect yourselves more.

All of this. Be extremely wary of those words. They’re part of the reason I withdrew a story from a dream market this year.
If you see the words 'irrevocable', 'in perpetuity', 'formats not yet invented', 'net after costs', 'all rights', you're selling every damn thing you could make money from as an author for a one time payment, or in this case, a promise.
Signing this gives the publisher money meant for you forever.
