5 months agoAs much as I dislike her and her views, J.K. Rowling would be an example wouldn’t she?
Why do the merchandise sales not count? Are they not a product of her creative writing? Many webnovelists sell merch. One of my favourite webnovelists semi-recently hired an editor, would that disqualify them?
