However, timing is everything -- there were editor reviews in 2008, 2009 and 2010, and they helped me to put the story in perspective and see how well it was working. Now, I've just finished Book 9 (The Shocking Trial!) and it's an excellent point for a retrospective look, as it brought back almost every character from all 9 books and it's building towards the inevitable September that Calla Wiley predicted would see the demise of Diggory.</p> <p>Book 10 leads up to those events, and then the story is going to be drastically different -- I don't want to give anything away other than my writing is exciting me lately, so I've been updating daily out of sheer enthusiasm. So I feel this is the best time to ask for people to take a serious look at the entire series to date and share their thoughts, even if it's just to update an old review. I'd love to see new viewpoints on the story as it takes a new direction as well.</p> <p>In addition, we're running a bonus story incentive that for every 5 reviews on WFG I'll explore side stories through the other characters, deepening the story mythology, so you'll be helping my readers get more of what they enjoy! </p> <p>Thanks in advance,</p> <p>Gavin </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/a-new-web-serial-site-ayami-publications#post-5942 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 12:59:08 +0000 Ayami Tyndall 5942@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>Hello to everyone here at Web Fiction Guide.<br /> Now that my two stories are listed here, I would like to share my web serial site, Ayami Publications, with everyone here: <a href="http://ayami.rain.org/" rel="nofollow">http://ayami.rain.org/</a></p> <p>There I am serializing novels I have written (and I hope to one day also share the work of other writers, if I can ever get out of the cave long enough to find any) .

Hogarth 4717@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>Thanks, capriox! That's what I figure... my readers are awesome folks who regularly give writers who delight them their coffee money because they really believe in web fiction. They're always looking for something to read! :)</p> <p>As for getting around LJ... eh, I don't think it's really made for that. Tagging can help (people can just go to yourlivejournal.com/tag/your tag here), but unless your journal is nothing -but- your fiction it can be really hard to keep track of. That's why I regularly archive my stuff to my website, so I can put real navigation on it. :/</p> <p>--Maggie </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/that-sudden-spots-the-space-marine-thing#post-4715 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 08:55:07 +0000 capriox 4715@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>Welcome to club! I think it's a great thing to have established series like yours join us because not only do you get exposure to new readers, but we get exposure to all of yours =) Here's to enlarging the pool of weblit readers, even if it is just a couple at a time!</p> <p>Congrats on successfully using LJ, btw. I'm trying to do the same and it's a bit cross-eyeing at times making sure my readers can get around the story and site easily. </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/that-sudden-spots-the-space-marine-thing#post-4714 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 14:07:08 +0000 M.C.A. Hogarth 4714@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>I just wanted to wave hello and explain the sudden appearance of Spots the Space Marine, since I saw a couple of questions about it on Twitter; I feel a bit sheepish!</p> <p>I've been writing Spots twice a week for about a year now on Livejournal, which I like because it makes threaded conversations easy for brain-dead new moms with no sleep (that would be me). I never had the chance to list it here or on Muse's Success because its website linked to the LJ entries and didn't have proper interior navigation. But a couple of weeks ago my web-admin and I got together and did a one-day transfer of 73+ episodes, plus illustrations so we could put together proper navigation. I submitted the serial to both sites and told my readers... that's how it showed up so abruptly on the Top Web Fiction site and on Twitter's WebFicWed tag.</p> <p>The serial's my current crowdfunded endeavor. Some of the episodes are illustrated, either with directly embedded pictures or with links to exterior sketches, both by me. It's about half-finished, and I donate some of my profit to a couple of charities that benefit active duty and wounded soldiers.</p> <p>I'm hoping the new (proper!) navigation will help new readers get into it!</p> <p>--Maggie </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/thanks-to-starwalker-reviewers#post-4601 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 18:19:52 +0000 Kess 4601@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>Thanks, Dash! :) Glad you like it.</p> <p>And because I'm a moron, I should probably point out that the listing with the reviews on is here: <a href="http://webfictionguide.com/listings/starwalker/" rel="nofollow">http://webfictionguide.com/listings/starwalker/</a> </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/thanks-to-starwalker-reviewers#post-4589 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 08:02:04 +0000 Dash 4589@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>I've just spent this morning reading the whole thing.

Against this backdrop is the tricardiac mutant, Roman Fairchild, a seventeen-year-old whose online relationship to Kyrie Kapoor comes to a head when her band posts a show in his home town. All seems to be going well, until The Siphon, a sinister war game replacing executive government comes literally crashing down on his doorstep. Soon, everything Roman knows is thrown into upheaval as the world, both at home and abroad, seems ready to rend itself apart. </p> <p>You can find the site at <a href="http://cloudnigh.com" rel="nofollow">http://cloudnigh.com</a>, and the forums at <a href="http://leophimforums.com" rel="nofollow">http://leophimforums.com</a>.
