Other way around. If your fantasy / sci-fi novel does not sell well, rebrand it as a new groundbreaking "history". Include how it gets ridiculed by main stream science that does maliciously ignore all the evidence.
You have instantly gained a huge, uncritical customer and fan base.
Edited a few typos.
Silly L. Ron Hubbard, trying to convince people to follow in your footsteps again?
Lol this is exactly where my mind went after reading the op as well
Here's an updated map. AFAIK, the author isn't actually a flat earther, but made this to meme on all the conspiracy theories at once. And also for the love of worldbuilding.
Falling for conspiracy theories is a mental disorder. They're failing to process information critically. They couldn't write anything because writing requires skill, persistence, and consistency.
I remember a game I played ~9 years ago where you could send ships to explore the world and when they got back you had the option to reject their findings. If you never rejected anything, the world would be exactly like Earth, but everytime you rejected it would randomize the section that had been explored and over time it would start generating a whole new world.
And you could even make the planet flat by rejecting the discovery of it being round.
That's a super cool gameplay idea.
Adding to the requests for a name. I put your post into Gemini and it gave me a few choices, but all clearly wrong, before giving up and saying "it must be some obscure indie title".
Tried again with the "deeper thinking" version. Reus by chance?
I want to play this
There's a novella that toys with the concept of an endless, flat world https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/a6f9dcca-1b82-45dd-ba41-70b313e4c642
That's a great way of saying this. I used to enjoy talking about this stuff and when people would question if I believed any of it I'd have to explain I just like thought experiments and writing syfy shorts.
It's turtles, all the way down.
Surprised nobody mentioned this earlier.
Nah, just one turtle with 4 elephants on top, holding a flat world.
All hail Great A'Tuin.
Conspiracy theorists don't have the imagination to write fantasy literature. They can't account for the inconsistencies in their theories and 99% of the time the reason they give for why a certain thing is the way it is amounts to: "the Jews did it".
JKR can't write a consistent world that makes sense either.
Well, she is a conspiracy theorist too. Mostly directed at trans people.
I should call her…
