When I say 'bestseller' I mean major lists: New York Times, Wall Street Journal, et al. Still, even after numerous books and a variety of lists, the 'list' itself still confounded me, so I decided to do a little research to find out what it really takes to hit a list. First off, the term 'hit a list' can mean hitting a bestseller list at any point of entry. This can even be the bottom 100. Many books that hit a list are never viewed by consumers, they land there, stay for a week, maybe longer or shorter, and then vanish. The numbers and metric for this can be tricky and in fact, not entirely accurate. If you've ever tried to hit a list and found yourself disgusted with the odds, I hope this article sheds some light on the ins and outs of how the process works. I do recommend, though, that you do some research on your own; there are some excellent blog posts out there that look at the finite pieces of these lists and how they are constructed. First off, let's look at the facts. Bestseller lists vary by season, market, and genre. First, let's look at seasons. Surprisingly enough, how many copies you need to sell of your book will often depend on when you release it. Pre-Christmas releases, for example, require bigger number than a release that happens in May. Well, the holiday should speak for itself, and the same is true for key fall months like September. The hotter the month (not in temperature but in publishing releases), the harder it is to get onto a list. The next piece of this is reporting. Another piece that might surprise you is that not all reporting is accurate. Never mind the fact that reporting can be slow; you could hit 20,000 sales of your book in October but not see this reporting until November for example, but they can also be inaccurate, and there's a whole market share that's never reported on. Technical, scholarly, law-related books can make up over two-thirds of the book market and are never reported on. Blueberry Vaccinium Myrtillus 50 Seeds by Seedsandscents on Etsy. Each time you crack an egg open. Our bestseller! Mugen screenpack downloads. To change the titles do the following: 1) Extract sprite 115,0 - to do this I would suggest that you open data/system.sff in Fighter Factory, search for that sprite number and save the sprite to your computer 2) Edit the categories on the sprite - Open the extracted sprite in a graphics program and replace any category that you wish (or replace them all), then save the file. That's a lot of screenpacks for 1.0 both 1280 and 640.hopefully more people start converting Thanks for the SP man I'm not fond of the cursor for the select screen and the music's just an intro from a song, but it's only nitpicking Edit: Ok everything's good but the team mode seems a little crowded, and the KO spr is too small The team portraits would look better lower to the powerbar, like i edited here (also fixed the ko sprite) If any of you want it set up this way, paste this over the info under [Turns Face] In the fight.def file. 3) Add sprite to SFF file - again in Fighter Factory replace the old sprite 115,0 with the new one you edited. Note: When you edit the sprite in a graphics program, make sure that if you changed the color depth to RBG or to 13 Million colors that you set it back to 256 colors. Since the Blue screen pack was downloaded 20% more than the Red screen pack I decided to start with converting this one to Mugen 1.0. Christian titles work the same way. You might say, 'Well, what about The Shack?' This Christian title hit a list because it was sold en masse in retail outlets and not sequestered to Christian retailers that don't get the benefit of reporting to the lists. Finally, let's look at list structure. Each list pulls book data differently, meaning that the New York Times does not pull trade book data, whereas the USA Today list does. USA Today also pulls these titles onto a single list, whereas the New York Times divides these lists up by genre. A friend of mine who spent years in publishing once told me that publishing is all about perception, and this is very true. What she meant by this is that print runs (publishers refer to these as 'advance print runs') as well as any and all advance buzz a book is getting will also help it land on a list. Generally a book that is just 'born' into the publishing world with no buzz, advanced reviews, etc. Won't capture the attention of a big list. The author might hit it well locally, but generally not nationally unless (like in the case of The Shack) there is some online viral buzz that builds. There is also the consideration of sales surge. This surge often happens during a very short period of time and doesn't always have to equate to huge numbers, it's the velocity of the push that matters. An associate of mine in publishing once told me that a book she was working with only sold 4,000 copies before it landed on a major list. The smallness of the number is staggering when you think about it. Keep in mind that this book hit a list during a slow period, too, so that also worked in its favor.
