+1000 DOWNLOADS!

Congratulations. I reached this milestone a little while ago (for total downloads), however it took me seven years rather than about seven months! Well done.

Over 1000 downloads and a completed Let’s Play!

Congrats


Thanks dude! You're still listed as a tester from that feedback you gave me all the way back at Ch1. If you ever want to play the rest and tell me what you think, let me know!

TCS is complete

Thanks kumada. I agree.

You would probably enjoy How Zantheus Fell into the Sky more than Prince, Twins, Dragon. The latter is a lighthearted YA romp. The former has much more allegorical and philosophical stuff, more akin to bits of TCS.

Inhuman Resources

Someone may have mentioned this, but can you use the CharasProject rmk2k3 sprite generator? Can give you sprite mashups with their own palettes that look nothing like any copyrighted.

Congratulations on finishing the novel! That cover at looks solid, but the product blub might benefit from some tightening. It feels more aimed at parents, and I'm not sure parents are going to point their kid towards a serialized online novel. Or that a middleschool kid will then read it.

There are still plenty of adults who read YA (I do. Because the market tends to favor style over substance in American YA, that style is usually really strong), but they're going to need something to differentiate the story from the tons they've already read. At middle-school age, a bunch of kids falling into a fantasy world is the coolest thing ever. At twenty or thirty, it's too familiar. Too easy to skim past.

I'd say, take what's weird about your setting, what's distinctive, grab that and write it as a narrative. Write it like you would the first few lines of a story, where you need to make that hook sink in deep. Then follow it with a line or two about your credentials.

The note that it's fantasy written by a philosophy and theology PHD is grabbing for an adult, and the uniqueness of the world should be a good hook for anyone.


Thanks kumada as always. Interesting thoughts. I think I will incorporate some of your suggestions and re-write the blurb when I update with the next chapter of the story--on Friday. Cheers!

It's a shame I can't get this for PC. I'd read the crap out of this.


Thanks, Corfaisus! You can actually get it for PC, if you download the free Kindle reader program from Amazon. A print version will appear at some point too, although I'm not sure when--as soon as I can source a decent cover!
