Oh, well. I read a post this morning reminding me that it was the last day to post for the contest. Missed the deadline. I will take down the story after Easter, so if anyone wants to read it, do so by then. I never win these things anyway, but I thought it was cute.

It's on Kindle. I'll be taking it down here.
Oh, and yes, the pictures published and formed a nice chapter break. (Well, most of them. 5 out of the 84 did not post; instead, there was a boxed X  Looks like a chapter break where the author couldn't think of a picture. And a page was blue highlighted, but I get Kindle books which are underlined all the time. Anyway, I'm stoked. 801 pages, it's my masterpiece to date. Yippeee yi ki-yay!

It is on Amazon, Kindle.  I'll be taking it down here. Onward to the next book!

Well, I did write another chapter to Exile in Elsewhen. It's all Kdot's fault. I have it as an epilogue, but because of what he said, I may have it as a prologue. I've rewritten it since a couple of you have read it to make it work either way. References to the name of the protagonist of the chapter have been deleted and what she did (or will do) or is doing (time travel books are fun) have been made vague.

So time to vote:  Prologue or Epilogue?

And a warning:  If I've succeeded, you will still be puzzled by the story, but reading the epilogue could spoil it. The original idea was to have apparently random events emerge in a kind of Phillip K. Dick-esque way and that is the way I'm leaning. Even "vague-erized" the epilogue might injure that.  But if someone like Kdot was overwhelmed, then maybe it's best in the prologue.

I am thinking of ditching my current prologue and using the epilogue as the prologue. The benefit? It might make the plot structure clearer, introducing the antagonist and hinting at what she's up to. The disadvantage: It might make the plot structure clearer, introducing the antagonist and hinting at what she's up to.

The seeming randomness of the events in the story give it a Phillip K Dick-esque feel (Not that I'm comparing myself to the Master). Like his works, you are in a constant state of "Huh?" or "What just happened?" It all resolves at the end (well, sort of, as the immortal would say).

So guide me. Vote "Prologue or Epilogue?"
