A question on court etiquette.

Reyben · 06-10-2011, 11:17 AM

Hi! I'm Ben. I posted here for a little while a long time ago- I believe there was an ebook of some description involved, though the mind fades.

Anyway, then I went travelling for a fair span and forgot about the internet, as is my want. While travelling, I've fallen in with a seedy and disreputable group of programmers and artists from New Zealand. They had me do the jokes for a kooky little project of theirs. They also poisoned me, but we're going to let that one night drop.

So, I've now been involved in the creation of an app for a mobile device (the ipad, to be precise). I'd like to promote, without getting anyone's goat, because it isn't an ebook, but rather a game, but my involvement was purely as a writer's refrain.

I'm not linking, or mentioning any names, anywhere in this post; the game is fun and it's free, and that's as precise as I'll be. I just thought I'd ask if I'd be taken to task or considered an irredeemable whore if I tried to plug it on these boards.

Basically, in plain English: If all one did was write, but the product wasn't a book, is there somewhere on this site one could put it?

You would be immediately banned for spamming were you to do something as ill-advised as to attempt to promote your game here.

Well,
People are putting up games and other "stuff" for the Kindle, which is accessible to US customers only, in the Kindle section.
I can't see why OP should be banned if posting his app in the apple section.
