Topic: Cost to publish a monster

Hey there!

In case anyone was wondering-and I wasn't until this evening-it costs 27.30 credits to publish an 8800 word post. Ask me how I know.

A review is worth 5.46 credits. 5.46? Yes, that's not a typo- 5.46 credits! You can scoop them up even with a fifty-word regular review. Ka-ching!

I'm glad this new site allows posts of such length. I didn't intend for the chapter to get so long, but a lot had to happen. I guess it took that many words. I did try to cleave some stuff out, keep things trim and tight. But everything there does have a purpose. So... well, it's long. Hopefully those who give it a go will find it worth the read. It's the second-to-last chapter of my first draft, in case anyone is wondering. I don't think the final chapter will be nearly as long. But it should be just a fun to write!

Thanks!

Re: Cost to publish a monster

Although I prefer to read/write short chapters, I've been known to publish a beast from time-to-time. In your case, I'm looking forward to it. This story is one of the best I've ever read on this site, and I'm sorry it's drawing to a close.

Hey, Norm d'Plume.

I think I told you already, but I do have plans for another story involving Lake-Ellen, this one sort of a prequel before the events of Dew Drops (or In Possession of N-ergy, if you're keeping track). I want to write about her two seasons as an apprentice to Radishal-Wren. I think it'll only be about novella length. But I think it should be pretty fun to write.

Also, I think I have a cool idea for a short story set sixty or seventy years after Dew Drops. It won't involve Lake-Ellen or the characters here, but I mention them tangentially. Anyone who knows this story will recognize the reference. Those that do not, though, won't miss out on anything.

But both are for tomorrow. Right now, my stock of credits is utterly depleted (0.15 left after publishing) so I got that to work on before I hammer out chapter 28. And a short Epilogue to tie things up. Just wish it hadn't taken so darn long to get this first draft done did up.

Thank you for reading. I appreciate your comments.
