I think that everything I had to say about this appears in the title of this post, but I’ll go a little further anyway.
This series has been going for seven years and will start it’s eighth today. It’s safe to say that I had no idea when I started this series that I would still be doing it now.
I had absolutely no idea that I’d be attempting to turn it into a series of books, or that the first one would be published by 1889 Labs, a small press. Basically, I’d always assumed that it would be a series on the web, and that would be it.
Actually, I’d thought that it would be a way to draw attention to other books that I’d write and publish through traditional publishers. As of now, I’ve yet to write said books, but when they do happen, they’ll probably be self-published–quite possibly on the web first.
Thanks for reading.
Congratulations. That’s quite a survival record.
It’s longer than most web serials certainly.
Congratulations! 🙂 way to go!
I’m highly impressed by your ability to stick with the same story for seven years, and have it remain interesting.
There are two things I find impressive here:
First, you have been writing blogfiction for seven years.
Second, you have been writing the same story for seven years, and it’s still interesting.
*salute*
I think I unintentionally took the same route to this as Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series–novels that move the overall plot forward a little while leaving important issues for later.
Of course at that point one needs to be seeding future plot points all the time, but I seem to do that reflexively.
Gah, Somehow I managed to leave in the first sentence, which I thought I had deleted. Meh. Sorry for the redundancy in the above post.
I haven’t been reading since you started, but I have been enjoying it since I started. Thanks for the fun ride. Looking forward to the rest, however long it runs.
Big Congrats! I’m impressed.
Thanks to all. I’m amazed I’ve been doing it this long.
We salute you, sir.
I for one really enjoy your writing
how would I go about buying a copy?
The ebook of the first book is available on Amazon. Print will be available again once the Kickstarter is over–when I have time. Also, depending on your finances, donating to the Kickstarter is an option.
never mind, just saw the buy the book button.
Awesome job! Keep up the great work!! ^_^
It’s been a great seven years, Jim, and I’m not feeling at all itchy!
