Wasn't sure where to post this, so I figured here was a good default.
An interesting article about growing stratification amongst self published authors:
Ambition may divide self-publishing authors
It echoes a lot of what I am hearing from some successful self-publishers or hybrid authors that I have been speaking to.
It also makes me wonder if it would not be valuable that when people post a question about writing or research here in these boards that they could mention something about the purpose of their writing. I have seen some people post lengthy, thoughtful responses only to be met with "Thanks, but I don't have to worry about that because I am just world building for my RPG" or "that doesn't matter because I am only writing for myself." I think one can both get and give better advice or comments by knowing at least a little about the goal of the work.
Just a thought rambling around in my mind.
