Question For My Reader(s)


TNTOS

383 views

Hi there, my fellow BZPers and bloggers.

 

As you all probably know by now, I've been working hard on finishing editing of the third and last epic in the Shika Trilogy, An Unlikely Alliance. I have said I wouldn't post it until I'm done with it and I nearly am (only about 40 or so pages to go).

 

However, I am wondering if I should begin posting it while I am still editing. Essentially, while I would not be finished editing it yet I would post chapters anyway. This idea could work, I think, because AUA has about 29 chapters (30 if you count the epilogue), which would take it a while before it caught it to where I am, editingwise. With this idea, people will get to read it earlier than I have planned while I still get to edit it, and by the time the posting does catch up with my editing, everything will be ready for posting.

 

So in closing, would you like it if I began posting it now, even though I am still editing it, or would you all want me to edit the entire thing and then begin posting it?

I'd say go for it. I mean, if all you're doing is editing, and since you said "only 40 pages" [which implies that the rest of the epic is much, much longer], and if you post chapters on a weekly basis, I'd say you have plenty of weeks to finish editing. Though, of course, this is all merely speculation as I don't really know how long it is.

 

But yeah, I'll definitely read it. Probably won't post much [gah I'm way behind on my reviews], but, as I said, I will be reading.

Currently, it's about 161 pages, which is my longest epic to date pages-wise. So if I do post it on a weekly basis, then I will probably be finished with editing by the time I post the epilogue.

 

Great hearing you'll read it. Does that mean you've read The Tales of Shika Nui and Tapestry of Evil, too? After all, you might not understand AUA as well if you haven't read those two (or at least if you haven't read ToE), although I have tried to make AUA understandable to both new and old readers. But whether you've read the rest of the trilogy or not, I'm glad to hear you'll be reading it, as I said before.

 

Thanks for the comment. I think I'm probaby going to post the first chapter next week unless I have a change of mind or something. So expect a small preview sometime this week, if I can find a part that won't majorly spoil the plot :P .

Not yet, but I've been wanting to for a while, so this is the perfect opportunity.

@Velox: Great. Just be warned, though, that TTONS and ToE aren't necessarily what I consider some of my best work.

 

I mean, ToE is okay, but TTONS is mehh, though it was my first epic, so I suppose that makes it somewhat acceptable.

 

@Tahu: Good to hear.

 

Well, since at least two people want me to post it, I will. Expect the first chapter to be posted around the beginning of next week on Monday and to be updated every Monday unless I am unable to post it. I'm starting to have doubts about posting an excerpt now, though, so don't expect it (ignore what I said in the last comment).

 

But I will definitely post the epic itself.
