Fortnightly Writing Contest (Novel Synopsis: CLOSED)

[Ponch]

It's this economy. Votes just don't go as far as they used to.

Cheers, Ponch! Sorry, I didn't notice you had edited your original post until I read your PM, and left a rather sarcastic reply here, which I quickly removed. Sorry if you saw it.

Also, dharmadischarge responded to my PM and voted their 3pts, which were 1 for Sini and 2 for Baron (not using spoiler tags cos voting is closed now and it won't influence anyone)

This give a final total of:

Baron: 7
dharmadischarge: 1
Sinitrena: 5
Stupot: 5

A very close-run race indeed! Beautiful work to all! Over to the Baron!

Edit: Well, I guess I missed a bunch of posts.  Thanks a bunch for all the votes, folks!  I'll be sure to get the next contest up and running promptly.

Oh, wow, Baron! That is exciting news indeed! Please keep us posted. I'll be picking up a copy for sure. Will there be physical printings or just e-book for now?

It sounds like you're actually going ahead and publishing this, which is exciting. Let us know when it's ready to order.

Oh, gosh. I bounce between stoked and apprehensive about the whole thing.  My latest draft got some very positive feedback from beta readers, so I've gone ahead and splurged on professional editing (and budgeted for a swanky cover).  It's hard to say with certainty when it might actually be released, having never gone through the process before (proofing, formatting, copyrighting, ISBNing, ARCing? Marketing? etc.), but I'm hoping to have it out before the end of the year.

I do intend to publish it as a real physical book in order to satisfy a life-long dream, but I can't promise it will be available as such in all markets and territories in that format.  We might have to make arrangements for me to ship out physical copies to you guys if you're really keen on paper.  I'll be sure to let you know when I finally hit the "publish" button.

You better do make it available international in physical form, because books you can smell and touch and feel are just better. Otherwise, you have a lot of international shipping to do.

No, strike that, I don't care if you oficially release it in physical form over here, because I want a signed copy anyway, so... 


Congrats on winning this round, looking forward to the next.
