Tras la entrada full-diva de Marsh, las pistas nos llevan a un extraño piso y a encontrar a editoras algo idas de la olla, con plot twist incluido que nos deja la sangre helada y mucho "panic at the disco" y el reencuentro con uno de los personajes más queridos de esta Era (no). Además, nos enseñan un free tour al templo de los Brazales (termas incluidas), vemos una CocaCola de chocolate, inverosimilitudes históricas de peluches, sobornos en tu cara, Steris canalizando al Gato con Botas, la Hierbas, Heated Rivalry, adaptaciones malillas, Sof os cuenta lore de Tayvis, vemos gente de pelos dorados por allí, teorizamos sobre Kelsier y Spook y básicamente cerramos el libro quince veces xd. Ah, y algún spoilercillo de One Piece.

Brooke and Tyler use illumination to look into the future of the Cosmere to understand the gamebreaking potential of Renarin Kholin. We try to comprehend his strange nature as an Enlightened Truthwatcher and whether his powers are more connected to Sja-anat or Odium. #AllSpoilers Support this podcast by becoming a Patron on Patreon Original music by David Gruwier.

Cuando todo parecía ir viento en popa (o no), entra la policía de Bilming y todo se va a la porra: aparecen unos dobles bastante creepy, VenDell quiere cobrar por sus huesos, Wax se marca un Matrix, Hoid aparece con total precisión, alguno se echa tremendo whiskazo, Lour cita Divergente y comienzan las pistolas de Chekov (y otras). Hablamos de cierta sombra a la espalda de Armonía, mentes porosas, Fullmetal Alchemist, elegimos la mejor ubicación para una metalmind, debatimos sobre la Fragmentación y la afinidad entre Esquirla y Receptáculo y el capítulo termina con cameo al más puro estilo Disney Channel.

Hasta aquí hemos llegado: es el momento de llamar a la Línea Directa de Armonía y que alguien le de una explicación a Wax porque esto ya no se sostiene. Así que sí, se viene infodump sobre Autonomía y sus quereseres, más explosiones (no es broma que en la contraportada de la edición uno de los críticos llama al libro "un explosivo final a la saga" XDDDDDDDD ME MUERO), Sof nos da una clasecilla de historia, Marasi quiere dormir y no la dejan, Hoid se pone guantes blancos, llegamos a la ciudad de los autónomos y conocemos a Moonlight o Luzdeluna y su curiosa organización secreta.

En este episodio retomamos a la corriente Cosmirla de "Cosas Que No Se Deben Hacer En Casa" de mano de Waxillium Ladrian y esposa, que están en su 100tifik Era y haciendo cosas en espacios cerrados algo cuestionables. Descubrimos dos cosas que nos mandan a un shock profundo: una, Wayne acaba de crear la Fifa, y dos, el perrito de Sof es cazador xd. VenDell intenta coleccionar todos los huesos que tiene a mano, aprendemos que Rihanna vio venir todo el tema del Discordium, contamos anecdotillas de Alexa (alerta disclaimer por si tenéis alguna a tiro) y acabamos con ASMR y razones por las que no se debe jugar con fuego. Literalmente.

️ En este episodio abrimos la caja de explosivos de los debates imposibles: opiniones polémicas, argumentos completamente innecesarios defendidos con demasiada pasión y momentos donde nadie recuerda ya cuál era el tema original Después nos sumergimos en el universo de Mistborn para hablar sobre cómo podría funcionar su adaptación al cine. Comentamos especialmente el reto de trasladar los poderes alománticos a pantalla, cómo deberían representarse visualmente el acero, el hierro o el pewter, y debatimos sobre personajes como Clubs y Ham, su personalidad y qué tan difíciles serían de adaptar sin perder su esencia. ️⚔️ Y para cerrar, llega un quizz de Pokémon bastante cursed: mezclas imposibles entre Pokémon que hay que intentar adivinar antes de que el cerebro empiece a oler a cable quemado. Fusiones rarísimas, nombres mutantes y momentos de “eso no debería existir pero necesito verlo”. ⚡ Fantasy, videojuegos, debates absurdos y caos perfectamente organizado.

Juramos solemnemente no haber consumido ninguna sustancia sospechosa antes de grabar este episodio. Tras el caos más absoluto de entrada, la trama se va colocando en su lugar con pistas que Marasi y Wax comienzan a rastrear (según Lour es porque no han visto la serie Forever). Marsh pasa girlie time con Marasi, MeLaan se queda sin jugar con la pelotita, Allik canaliza su yo más The Great Malwish Bake-Off, Wayne se une al trend de “Escuchamos pero no juzgamos”, Wax sigue sin fiarse de los mayordomos (comprensible) y Marasi se lleva su pasillito policial. Por nuestro lado, charlamos sobre Mighty Nein y Attack on Titan, acuñamos el término “alguacilería”, establecemos relaciones bastante llamativas entre los Ladrian y los Targaryen y… os recomiendo encarecidamente que os quedéis hasta el final-final.

Seis años más tarde de los eventos de Brazales de Duelo, nuestros héroes están enfrentando distintas situaciones vitales: unos reciben el “two-week notice” para dejar la relación, otros se acercan a la edad en las que son aceptables las bromas de cuñado, otros enseñan insultos a sus sobrinos, otros son goals de matrimonio y reciben muchos grititos de foca TM Cosmirlos, otros se hacen un Fusión Bola de Dragón versión sub-dom kandra… Mucho nos espera en el final de la Era 2 y volvemos a estar tan sembradas como siempre: establecemos la marca de la vejez con la fruta escarchada, debatimos sobre si son mejores las palomitas normales o con cosas, nos quejamos de lo peor de BOTW y nos proponemos empezar a hacer cardio.

Brooke and Tyler reveal the secrets of the Cosmere's most mysterious sentient sword...and also some bald guy.

During that transition, we kept using “The Dojo” as a placeholder in case the trio ever came back together, but now we've officially accepted that this is our new form.Same energy. Same conversations. Same laughs. Just a new era — and this time, we want a name that really sticks. Something we can build, brand, trademark, and truly grow into.We've already brainstormed a few ideas, but we also want to open the floor to the people who've been rocking with us from the start. If you've got creative, clever, funny, or fire name ideas for the podcast, drop them.

In this week's episode, we take a look at five Instagram tips for writers, and we also discuss recent Facebook ad changes. This coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Ghost Night series at my Payhip store: CAINA25 The coupon code is valid through February 23, 2026. So if you need a new ebook this winter, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates   Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 290 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is February 13th, 2026, and today we're looking at five tips for Instagram marketing for writers. We will also have Coupon of the Week and an update on my current writing and publishing projects.   So let's first start with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Ghost Night series at my Payhip store, and that code is CAINA25. The coupon code is valid through February the 23rd, 2026 so if you need a new ebook for this winter, we've got you covered.   And now on my current writing and publishing projects. I'm currently 91,000 words into Cloak of Summoning, which will be the 14th book in my Cloak Mage urban fantasy series. I am hoping to finish the rough draft in the coming week, and then it's going to need a fair bit of editing because I've decided to change things and move things around to improve it. So if all goes well, I hope that book will be out in the first week of March, assuming nothing comes up before then.   I am also 8,000 words into Blade of Wraiths, which will be the fourth book in my Blades of Ruin epic fantasy series, and I am hoping that will be out in April, if all goes well.   In audiobook news, Blade of Storms is completely finished and I believe as of right now you can buy it at my Payhip store, Kobo, and Google Play, and it is currently working its way through processing at all the other audiobook stores. Hollis McCarthy has finished recording Cloak of Titans, which is the 11th book in the Cloak Mage urban fantasy series, and if all goes well, my proofer should be able to listen to it this week and then hopefully the audiobook will be available to you sometime in March. So that's where I'm at with my current writing and publishing and audiobook projects.   00:01:51 Thoughts on Facebook Ads   Before we get to our main topic, I want to have a brief digression into another part of the Meta empire, specifically Facebook ads and my recent experiences therein. I've mentioned before that I stopped using Facebook ads in October since the Advantage Plus system, which is their AI targeting system, was giving me headaches.   For a brief summary of my experience with Facebook ads. I started using them in 2019, did really well with them in 2020, then Facebook randomly started banning accounts during this craziness of summer 2020. I got my account reinstated, used them less frequently more and more until October of 2025 when I stopped using them altogether because Advantage Plus made targeting so hard. Since then, I've relied mostly on Amazon ads and BookBub ads to good results. However, I've also read various blog posts from people who have been struggling with the Advantage Plus system as well, and they've been investigating it thoroughly as internet marketers tend to do, and they've uncovered something interesting that isn't mentioned at all in Facebook's documentation about the new changes, specifically that Advantage Plus uses the text content of your ad to target it.   Under the old system, it didn't work that way at all. You would select interests that match your ad, usually popular authors in the fantasy genre (like J.R.R Tolkien, Robert E. Howard, George R.R. Martin, Brandon Sanderson, and so forth) and then you wrote the text of the ad and supplied an image, which was usually called a creative. The creative was like 80% of a successful Facebook ad. You just needed a good picture, more or less. The Advantage Plus system by contrast targets according to the text in the ad. So while you still need a good creative, you need to be precise in the ad text. So for example, you need to write something like this: "Fans of The Lord of the Rings, Conan the Barbarian, Mistborn, and Game of Thrones will love this free epic fantasy available for Kindle readers." Now, I found the arguments in these blog posts persuasive, so I decided to give it a try. The results are on the better side of okay-ish, I will admit. I didn't lose any money and did make a bit of money. The results were definitely better than I expected, though the ad using Advantage Plus typically only has a shelf life of six to 10 days before it stops working. That said, the old system was still better because the interests were more granular and I could assign them more precisely. I used to be able to advertise Frostborn, Cloak Mage, The Ghosts, and Demonsouled all at the same time because I could target the ads so precisely and granularly. There's absolutely no way I could do that now because the Advantage Plus system is a black box. It basically boils down to "trust us, the AI will figure it out" when it very obviously can't.   So for the moment I will have one Facebook ad in the rotation until Meta changes something and everything breaks. There's no way I'll run as many Facebook ads as I did in 2020, when sometimes I had eight different Facebook ads going at once. Apparently in the last three years, Meta spent around 130 billion on AI, give or take, and what they got for that money is an ad targeting system that frequently doesn't work, and when it does work, doesn't work as well as the old system did. Spending unfathomable sums of money to replace a system that worked pretty well with one that intermittently doesn't work, and then when it does function, doesn't work as well as the previous system seems to be a pretty good summary of the "AI revolution" so far.   00:05:05 Main Topic: 5 Tips for Instagram Marketing for Indie Authors     Now onto our main topic this week, five tips for Instagram marketing for indie authors. Because I'm looking for new alternatives to Facebook ads for reasons I just discussed, I have just started using Instagram as part of my marketing strategy, and many indie authors, especially in the romance genre, have reported a lot of success marketing through Instagram so I wanted to learn more about it and share what I learned. In today's episode, I'm going to focus on marketing through your author account, not paid Instagram ads, which could be a separate podcast topic in the future. Here are five tips that might help you with running an author Instagram account.   #1: Find a strategy beyond book promotion. Like any other form of social media, if all you post is promotion for your books, it'll be hard to gain a following. Before you start posting regularly, you'll have to think about what else you have to offer your audience. Even if you want to keep your posts exclusive to writing, there are other types of posts you can make, like behind the scenes peeks, extra facts about a character, or using the poll/question feature to engage with your followers about the books. Follow other author accounts from writers in your genre to learn about their successes and how they engage with their followers. That said, a warning with that, spending a lot of time looking at posts from engaging with other authors creates a closed loop and doesn't further your goal of getting your books into the hands of your readers. Looking at other author accounts and engaging with them definitely falls into the category of what I've called writing adjacent activities that can easily give you the illusion of progress but not actual progress that I've talked about on this podcast before. Ideally, you should spend most of your time on Instagram with readers, not other authors.   It's also important to find the balance between providing personal content to make readers feel more connected to you and having it drift too far into being a personal account. Most of us have seen author accounts and social media accounts that post far too personal of relationship details or various long types of rants on various topics that I find it hard to believe help sell any books. The balance will be different for everyone, but always keep in mind that your primary goal on your author accounts is to be a space for your brand as an author. In that same vein, posting negative reviews of other books or negative comments about other writers is not a smart idea in the long run. At best, it looks like you're attacking someone else to make yourself look better, and at worst, you can end up as part of one of the many Bookstagram dramas that crop up with predictable and tedious frequency and in the process, you may make yourself some enemies for life. Nobody wants that.   Spamming your books by promoting them in other author's accounts, comments sections, or worse, DMing them is considered bad form and not even remotely effective in the long run.     #2: Your space, your rules. Don't be shy about blocking people or deleting comments, especially from spam accounts. Remember that it's your space, not theirs. The flip side of that is turning off comments altogether will limit your reach on Instagram. Although engagement with other accounts matters on Instagram, not every single comment or DM needs a reply, and it would be a waste of precious writing time to even try. Many authors find a compromise in liking non-spammy, well-intentioned comments instead of replying to each one. Although it's important to post regularly, putting out a public schedule for what you'll post is an invitation for people to get upset when you miss a day.     #3: Captions matter. Although Instagram is about images and video, substantial captions are important for helping people to find your content. The algorithm rewards decent size but not overly long captions with good hashtags, even if people don't read them. The more specific you make your hashtags, the more effective they will be. Broad ones like "writing" and "author" won't be as effective as "Arthurian Fantasy" or "Enemies to Lovers Historical Romance." There are also a lot of genre specific abbreviations, especially in romance such as "HEA" (which stands for happily ever after) or the pepper emoji to suggest that the romance is a spicy one (which is a euphemism for saying that it gets explicit). Take the time to learn these by following other authors or accounts in your genre because it'll help others find your posts.   #4: Try Instagram Reels. The algorithm for Instagram Reels (the short videos on Instagram) rewards interaction more than videos on TikTok. So it's best to watch videos in your genre, post regularly, and expect that you won't get a lot of views starting out or the views might come much later after the initial post than they would on TikTok. Some authors report that it took months of regular posting before they saw success, or that videos would take off weeks after posting. So keep on posting consistently, even if you're not seeing a lot of followers and engagement at first. Some authors use Reels for off topic things like memes and lighthearted content so their posts remain completely about their writing. Pick a strategy of things you can consistently post Reels about two to three times per week because the algorithm rewards frequent posting of Reels.   #5: Don't pay influencers or accounts to promote your content. If someone approaches you to pay for reviews or promotion, it is 99.9% likely that it is a scam. Delete and move on. When in doubt, assume it is a scam. Even if that person or account who wants to be paid to promote you is magically legitimate (which is, as I mentioned, very unlikely) the Bookstagram community is very savvy and distrustful of paid reviews. It's not good strategy. Real reviews from real, unpaid people take time, but the results are far more effective. You could try a raffle giveaway of your book to get reviews instead of paying an influencer or offering a special Smashwords coupon code just on your Instagram account.   Above all, Instagram will work if you're authentic, post regularly, and are patient in building up a following. Taking shortcuts like buying followers or spamming other accounts is not an effective strategy. Like so many things, there isn't a magic pill that substitutes for hard work over time, which if there was an overwhelming theme of this podcast over the last 290 episodes, I think that hard work over time is probably the lesson we want to take away here. So that's it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found the show useful.

The SuperHero Homies! Podcast returns with a packed episode featuring a full spoiler review of Marvel Studios' Wonder Man TV series, plus a major conversation about the future of fantasy adaptations in Hollywood. We kick things off with a cold open breaking down the groundbreaking deal between Brandon Sanderson and Apple, and what it could mean for the live action Cosmere universe. We discuss potential Mistborn movies, a Stormlight Archive TV series, fan casting ideas, Sanderson's creative control over his IP, and why this partnership has fantasy and sci-fi fans excited. For our main discussion, we dive deep into Wonder Man, Marvel's latest Disney+ series. Instead of following a traditional superhero formula, Wonder Man leans into a character study and buddy comedy, focusing on tone, relationships, and self-discovery rather than massive world-ending stakes. We discuss why many viewers seem to love the show, including one of the hosts, while also examining where it falls short. One of us thinks the series feels low stakes and meandering at times, while both of us agree that Wonder Man still represents a refreshing creative swing for the MCU. If you enjoy MCU TV reviews, Marvel Disney+ discussions, comic book adaptations, superhero podcasts, and pop culture breakdowns, this episode is for you.

With the announcement of Apple TV's recent agreement to make movies and TV (and probably some money) based on Brandon Sanderson's prolific fantasy books, the attention of The Guys turns to the only streaming service that tastes good ala mode.   Whilst they  wait for the Mistborn movie to arrive, there is plenty more to watch that is already beloved.  Ted Lasso is coming back, For All Mankind returns, and some of us haven't even watched Pluribus yet.  Apple TV seems the place to be for geeks, with or without the  Plus.   In Geeks of the Week, Jay - who declared himself “Lord of the Guys” - tells of a classic coming to the BBC but isn't sure how to watch it from the USA.  Robbie catches everyone up on the 2025 list of movies the Library of Congress thinks they should watch.  And Art shares news of the passing of comics artist Sal Buscema. Grab a piece of hot apple pie and listen.

The Buddies tackle James Islington's "The Will of the Many," a fantasy novel that's been described as "Red Rising meets Magic School" but turned out to be more like "Tenant in a pyramid scheme." The Buddies dove into a world where people literally give up their will to power society, while the rich kids attend prestigious schools and play extreme capture-the-flag. In this episode the Buddies debated many topics including: whether naked fighting is the ultimate power move,  the merits of getting knocked unconscious to time travel, and if this book series is going to be more like Lost season 1 or the Mistborn series. So join us as we grease ourselves up, and fire at Will into The Will of the Many. Intro/Book Report (0:00-4:55)Stock Up/Down (4:56-38:57)Favorite Scene/Character (38:58-43:21)Love/Hate (43:22-53:41)Conclusion (53:42-56:32)NEXT BOOK: The Strength of the Few by James Islington
