Money Makes the World Go Around

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

Chapter Four is paid for. Chapter Five needs another $86.50.

Thank you to everyone who’s been donating.

Chapter Three has been posted.

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

It’s right here, waiting for you.

Chapter Four is still a few dollars short — less than ten bucks short, actually, so I expect it’ll be appearing next week.

Chapter Two has been posted.

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

The second chapter of The Vondish Ambassador has been posted. Look for a link on the Blogroll to the right.
The third chapter is paid for and will be posted on September 27th.

The fourth chapter is written, but is not paid for.

The fifth chapter is written, but is not paid for.

The sixth chapter is not yet written.

The Spriggan Mirror is delayed

Monday, September 18th, 2006

I regret to say that I’ve just been informed by Wildside Press that the ink-on-paper edition of The Spriggan Mirror won’t be out until “late October.”

My apologies for the delay, and for not letting everyone know about it sooner.

Two Down…

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

Receipts have now exceeded $500.00.

Chapter 2 will be posted on Wednesday, September 20.

Chapter 3 will be posted on Wednesday, September 27.

Chapter 4 remains to be seen.

How Much is Enough?

Friday, September 15th, 2006

Okay, we’re at $429.00, so Chapter 2 is paid up, and Chapter 3 is almost there, but I have a procedural question:  How often should I post these updates?

Right now we’re in a sort of shakedown period — lots of enthusiasm over the launch and all that — but I expect things to slow down a lot as the novelty wears off.

So would daily updates be appropriate?  Weekly?  Mon-Wed-Fri?

(Of course, sometimes I’m away from my computer for a few days, so there’ll be an occasional hiatus in any case.  One reason new chapters go up on Wednesdays this time is that that’s the day of the week I’m most likely to be home.)

Chapter 1 paid for!

Friday, September 15th, 2006

Receipts so far: $364.00. Which means that barring disaster, Chapter 2 will be posted on Wednesday, September 20, and there’s $114.00 credited toward the next.

A very good start. Thank you.

The Tally So Far…

Friday, September 15th, 2006

As of now, I’ve received donations totalling $191.00.

No new chapters are fully paid for, but it’s a pretty good start, given that I only just now finished sending out the e-mails to supporters of The Spriggan Mirror, and haven’t yet made any other announcements or posted any links.

Thank you all!

And here we go…

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

So The Vondish Ambassador is begun, a couple of months later than I’d hoped; my apologies for the delay.

I’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have about it — about the story, about the payment set-up, whatever.
