Dear Authors,
The end of this week will mark my sixth as CEO of Inkshares. It’s been a long but exciting six weeks with all-time high-water marks: the most-ever new-author sign-ups as part of the Geek & Sundry Fantasy Contest; the announcement of our first venture into horror with Crypt TV beginning this coming Thursday; the sale of the TV rights for J.F. Dubeau’s A God in the Shed; and the exercise of the TV option for Filip Syta’s The Show. Yes, The Show will be a show.
As has been actively discussed in both our emails with you, on the Slack channels, and on the forums, the Inkshares royalty structure was modified last month. I know that my letter to the funded authors has been extensively shared, but some people suggested we share it more broadly, and here it is.

Cheers,
Adam.

You can view last weeks here: The Story So Far Part 3
You should also check out the Inkshares blog from this week that features the Top 10 authors in the contest, I’ll be referencing that: Inkshares Blog
Welcome back to The Story So Far, my name is @Joey Angotti and I’ll be your guide for this evening. A new challenger breaks into the top 10 ranks, some new rad(yeah, I said rad!) cover art decorates the story of Leaf and a whole bunch of flip flopping in the top ranks highlight this fourth week of the Geek and Sundry fantasy contest right here on Inkshares! Let’s take a closer look!
10. The Last Faoii by @Tahani Nelson (56 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: N/A)
The new challenger I was just talking about? Tahani Nelson and her book, The Last Faoii! First, I think we should still give a shout out to Her Latent Charm by @Dana Brentson - she was doing a great job holding onto the 10 spot. But alas, this is a competition and this Top 10 still has another 2 months or so ahead of it and there may be more changes on the way! Enough about the actual competition itself, let’s talk about Faoii-things!
If you have yet to check out the page for this book, it’s fantastically entertaining. The pure excitement from Ms. Nelson about being at the bottom of the ranks and shooting up to the Top 10 in just 5 days is worth the read alone. I can totally relate, as I broke into the top 10 and finished 7th in the Nerdist contest in the final 10 days of the competition. Ms. Nelson is doing it the right way though and starting way earlier than I did. That means that despite this late surge, if her networking skills are up to it she can be a force to be reckoned with in this one. She has quickly become the one to watch in this competition and it’s applying some nerves and sweaty situations to a Top 10 that was fairly uncontested for the first few weeks. A quick blurb at the top describes the book in Ms. Nelson’s own words:
“After her monastery is attacked and her sisters slaughtered, Kaiya-faoii is left alone to fight a war at the heart of a broken empire-- or watch everything left of her nation and heritage fall to darkness.”
There are also a few excerpts(the first one is an awesome fight scene - if you know anything about my own personal writing, fight scenes are kinda my thing so I was super excited about this), a glossary and some complete chapters posted as well. Definitely worth checking out!
9. Leaf Falling by @Michael Slusser (71 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 9th)
Leaf Falling by Michael Slusser is hanging onto the 9th spot this week. Fantasy Artist Devin Parker has provided some really unique and awesome cover art for the book that is definitely helping bring this story to life. While Ms. Nelson’s rise to the 10th spot is impressive, we need to continue to acknowledge how quickly Mr. Slusser has amounted his preorders. He’s only 4 away from 8th place but still in striking distance of 7th and even 6th with plenty of time left. You might be asking yourself: “Well, why does Michael Slusser write?” Luckily there was an Inkshares blog this week that helps us answer that question. I absolutely loved Mr. Slusser’s response:
“I wanted to write about complex, flawed people that I could love: characters who grow and live and breathe on the page. And then I was sort of shocked when they showed up. For this novel, the main character, Leaf, just kept stealing into my mind, demanding that her story be finished. I’ve always disliked when authors speak of how their characters take over the narrative—until it happened to me. I’m infatuated by the alchemy of phraseology; I wanted the language in the novel to sing, so that the words themselves would be as much a delight as the story.”
The language is singing, Mr. Slusser, the sweet, sweet song of preorders!
8. Flames in the Dark by @Tara Roquemore (75 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 5th)
The weird thing about Flames in the Dark is that it’s probably one of the most read books in the Top 10. I know it’s weird to say that because all of these books should be read by the people preordering them, but as “players of the game,” we all know that may not be the case. Flames in the Dark has a bunch of quotes picked out by readers that love the story so far. It’s most likely because of that amazing prologue(I promised myself I wouldn’t mention the prologue again but I just can’t help it - go read that thing!) but now that the 1st chapter is up and more people are getting into the story, it’s just not translating to more preorders… Yet. Yet being the key word, I have a feeling it will turn around soon and even if it doesn’t this book deserves to hit quill at least. Let’s make it happen, people!
7. A Beast Requires by @Jay Lockwood (80 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 7th)
Despite still being in 7th place, Mr. Lockwood has been busy. Last week he had only 66 readers and this week he finds himself 20 shy of 100! That’s a pretty big jump in just a week and he has closed some gaps with the other writers in the Top 10. I once again encourage you to check out his author page. It is full of funny gifs, amazing comments and great content. Mr. Lockwood has put up another video, this time exploring the origins and inspirations of A Beast Requires. Plus, he’s got a lot of things already planned for next week, so now is the time to follow him and patiently await those emails. I have a feeling the people who were on the fence up until now are going to teeter into preorder land this week after those updates!
6. The Living God by @Kaytalin Platt (83 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 4th)
Kaytalin Platt has been busy promoting The Living God! Despite falling two ranks from last week, she is still extremely close to the Top 3 as she’s only 4 preorders out from tying third place. Down in her comments section, you can read one of her older works called “The Seven Kings” and up in the “about” section there are… Well, a whole bunch of things going on! Ms. Platt has a video up talking about herself and The Living God. There are some new title images placed throughout the page too. She’s also running all of these awesome little incentives based on preorders. Yeah, incentives! Bookmarks, signed posters, a “The Rauke Made Me Do It” mug!? Sign me up! The font and the artwork on the mug alone are pretty awesome! You need to do yourself a favor and go check that stuff out! And the story too… Definitely go check out the story too. #Incentives
5. The Fairy Stepmother, Inc. by @Maggie Hoyt (85 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 8th)
Ms. Hoyt continues to make waves in the Top 10, now making her way all the way up to 5th! You know what definitely is helping her cause? That absolutely (adorable) amazing video up on her page! It’s musical, it’s funny and she’s in costume! What more does she have to do to win your heart and get a preorder out of you? You seriously need to go check it out. Like, I’m not one to tell you to stop reading The Story So Far to go check something out *right this minute* but uh… Go check that out, come back and finish reading this. Seriously.
4.The Delicate Art of Soulripping by @Sara (86 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 5th)
Sara Polk was out of town and one would wonder what the state of The Delicate Art of Soulripping and its campaign would be in when she got back. While no longer in 2nd place(like I believe she was when she left on her trip) her Rippers have been hard at work keeping her afloat in the Top 5. We’re all still patiently waiting for her video update, but until then the recent Inkshares blog gave us a look into the reason why Ms. Polk writes. I was really looking forward to her responses because this story that she has conjured up for our viewing pleasure is literally one of the most intriguing in the contest. Plus her answer is awesome and kinda gives me the chills at the same time:
“I woke one night feeling like I had just been talking to an old friend for hours, filled with the warmth in your heart you get from that kind of thing. As I thought about my dream, it was Oz. He told me all about what he had been through and I just kind of jotted down the outline and ran with it during NaNoWriMo. The Delicate Art of Soulripping is less my novel and more his memoir.”
Sick. Nice going, Oz!
3. Chronicles of An Domhan by @Conri (87 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 3rd)
In one of the most shocking twists in this contest so far, Mr. Conri has slowed down a bit in his push. But I have a feeling he isn’t quite done with videos, new chapters and amazing new artwork from Kassandra Leigh. I say slowed down like he’s dropped many ranks but despite slowing down a bit he’s still clinging on to the 3rd place spot. He’ll need to kick his campaign into overdrive though as the writers in the ranks below him have gained a lot of ground recently and the only two writers ahead are both over 100 unique preorders. It should be interesting to see where Mr. Conri is on the next The Story So Far. Judging by his unique style, excellent storytelling and overall passion for his project - it’s safe to say he’ll still be in the running for the top 3 spots.
2. The Slave Prince by @Jeyna Grace (101 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 2nd)
It was in question if Jeyna Grace and her book, The Slave Prince, would be able to hold on to the 2nd place spot last week. This week, there are no questions. Being the second person to hit over 100 unique readers in this contest, Ms. Grace is slowly but surely solidifying her place in the Top 3. I had mentioned her comments and the google definitions that accompany them in a previous The Story So Far and they’re still worth checking out(this time with actual dictionary definitions!). She also spiced up the book page a bit. In the aforementioned, dictionary sponsored, comment from this week, Ms. Grace goes on to explain the importance of Faith and it’s factoring into our drive to keep writing.
“Faith was my personal inspiration for The Slave Prince. And faith defines this book’s journey over the years.
Many times, people associate faith with God or humanity. I’ve associated with both while writing this book. Adapting from a biblical story represented my faith in God, while incorporating magic and retelling an adventure of self-discovery was my faith in humanity... or should I say, faith in myself.
It was through the years that I learned to be confident, to be brave, and to trust in the little skill that I have. I may not be the next J.K Rowling, but faith has kept me going. The Slave Prince may not make it to bookshelves, but faith keeps me believing. Faith exists beyond the realm of fiction. Faith exists in us. And as much as this book was inspired by faith, I hope it inspires faith too.”
This was a great and inspiring update that is definitely worth a full read. If you didn’t read the Inkshares blog from this week, she’s also a huge Harry Potter fan! Just needed to throw that in there.
1. Storm Song by @Allison Griner (110 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 1st)
Allison Griner and her book, Storm Song, were uncontested at the time of last week’s The Story So Far but with the surge of The Slave Prince she may have to fight for that top spot in the next few weeks. (Not that either author minds as long as they’re in the Top 3 I’m sure, but as a writer of a forum post that is supposed to track and hype up this contest I need to add some dramatics to keep things interesting!)
Last week in the comments section of The Story So Far, Ms. Griner shared with us that her main character, Thoster Chatwyn, was a Dungeons and Dragons NPC she created while in college for a campaign with her friends. She elaborated in the Inkshares blog. A longing to write the origin story for this NPC is why we can be thankful for the masterpiece in the making that is Storm Song. Also contributing? Influences from Terry Goodkind, Irene Radford, Patrick Rothfuss(Huge Patrick Rothfuss fan btw!) and Melanie Rawn which all explain a lot about the writing and success that Storm Song has so far. I’m eager to see more content from this title and you should check it out and discover for yourself why this book is currently at the top.
----
I’m open to any and all feedback, let me know if I should keep doing these. If you like the idea/concept/posts then don’t be shy and inform your friends and other Inksharians. Let’s try to get more people involved in the forums in general and liven up the place!
----
I’m not sure people who aren’t tagged are even reading this or slightly interested. Also, people not using the forums enough could not be seeing this as well. Any and all extra exposure of this forum post would be appreciated!(It’s a lot of work to not be seen by more people on the site!) - A mention on your books page or more comments could keep this afloat and make sure more people see this post - therefore more exposure and good things for your entry! Plus it might get more people involved on the forums which is good for Inkshares as a whole, imo.
----
Shameless Plug: Want to help me achieve my dreams? Want to see my awkwardness when I have to include myself in the Top 10? Please take a look at A Soldier’s Crest: Heroes of Khroma(my very own entry into this contest)!
Want to help me out in another way that literally costs you nothing? The first book in the Soldier’s Crest Series/Universe has been self-published and is already available on Amazon. Once you all get there one day you will understand the importance of Amazon reviews - please head over, check out the book(there is a “Look Inside” feature), and leave a positive review! I know it’s a cheap and maybe not completely honest review of the book, but much like Inkshare Contests, quantity/numbers go far in that regard. It could really increase sales of my first book, help me achieve my dreams and hopefully do things like this for a living(the whole point of us all being here, right?)!
A Soldier’s Crest
Review Update: My current goal for reviews on Amazon is 30. I heard 30 positive reviews makes a huge difference in being noticed. As of this post I’m sitting at 21! Which means just 9 more and I’ll hit my goal already and I just started pushing for it. I’m super grateful for those who have already helped out from Inkshares, even if it’s just to get an easy preorder, it still means alot to me. Thank you!
Lastly I want to thank Inkshares for making this site and giving aspiring authors like us a chance to share our stories. I also want to thank all the Inksharians, especially those in the Top 10, for giving me some interesting stories to read and write about.
Cheers!

*Hey everyone, Joe here. I just wanted to apologize in advance if this edition of The Story So Far is a bit lackluster compared to the rest. I’m determined to do these every week of the contest but lately I’ve been a bit of a mess. As you can tell I’m the positive-upbeat type of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve - this leads to a lot of heartbreak in the love department(at least for me, anyway) I’m sure once I start writing this, I’ll get into the groove. But I just haven’t been myself lately.*

Happy September everyone! The first month is down, but the competition is heating up! Welcome back to The Story So Far, my name is @Joey Angotti and I’ll be your guide for this evening. Two name-rhyming co-writers enter the fray and shake the very foundation of the contest in a campaign that isn’t even 5 days old, the bottom half of the Top 10 get tighter, while the Top 3 begin to pull away, all of this and more highlight this fifth week of the Geek and Sundry fantasy contest right here on Inkshares! Let’s take a closer look!
10. Flames in the Dark by @Tara Roquemore (82 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 8th)
I continue to make it a point to acknowledge the amount of high-quality content that Tara Roquemore keeps putting on display for her story, Flames in the Dark. The prologue that shall not be mentioned(oops) but should totally be read is just the beginning. This week, literally a few hours ago, she has provided a look into the creative process that led to Flames in the Dark. What started off as just a 10-page short story in one of her creative writing classes in high school has now grown into a potential trilogy of epic proportions. With a little assistance from the idea of NaNoWriMo(National Novel Writing Month) helping her flesh out the story, Ms. Roquemore has continued to expand and build the world of Flames in the Dark. If all of that isn’t enough to whet your appetite, Ms. Roquemore has treated us to a story that takes place even before the 10-page short story - Crystal Flowers - that serves as an introduction to this well-crafted fantasy. You should check it out in her comments section on her book page!
9. A Beast Requires by @Jay Lockwood (83 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 7th)
A somewhat (rare) quiet week from Mr. Lockwood this week, but his story A Beast Requires remains in the Top 10 and in contention to push higher in the ranks. This doesn’t mean he’s taken the foot off the gas pedal, he’s just working on some more content that he’s going to be sharing soon. You should still head over to his page and read the hilarious breakdown of his book if you haven’t yet. Take a look at his comments section as well - he’s currently looking for some of his backers to read and sample his prologue before he releases it to the Inkshares world. He’s also interested in seeing what the fans of A Beast Requires would like to hear him talk about in his upcoming videos. Go on over there and let him know!
8. Leaf Falling by @Michael Slusser (87 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 9th)
Hey! The Leaf Falling cover has color now and it’s even more awesome than it was last week. Have you seen that thing? Michael Slusser’s story of Leaf - “child of shadow and whisper, walker on the borders” (so cool) - continues to be one of the most consistent in terms of preorders on the Top 10. He’s had one of the strongest rallys to land in 8th place this week and I don’t think he’s going to be done any time soon. Though he’s still 12 preorders out of 7th, he continues to gain ground each week. On top of all of that? Mr. Slusser has added a bunch of content for us since the last Story So Far. The book now has it’s own facebook page. There are 3 chapters up for our viewing pleasure, a new children’s tale AND a flashback! Plenty of great reading material for the weekend that I highly suggest you check out. While you’re there, let Mr. Slusser know what you think of his novel. It’s totally OK to tell him how awesome/badass Leaf is. Seriously.
7. The Living God by @Kaytalin Platt (99 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 6th)
Hey guys, can we please get Kaytalin Platt’s story, The Living God, to 100 readers today? She’s at 99!(As of this writing, anyway!) She’s also offering up her graphic design expertise in the form of cover art, bookmark design and fliers! On top of that she’s provided some more details about one of her main characters, Keleir Ahriman. Here’s a taste of that, straight from her comments section:
“Keleir was born cursed with the soul of a Rauke at war with his own. A Rauke is a creature forged from the excess matter left over at the birth of a universe, and can only exist by taking a human child as a host. Like all children born with a Rauke, Keleir was surnamed Ahriman, which means darkness. From the time he was born, until he turned five, his village tortured him in the hopes that it would save him from his curse, but it ended up unleashing another, more terrible one instead.”
Sound awesome? You can read the rest about Keleir on her book page! Also, if you haven’t checked out her video she posted last week, it’s definitely worth the 3 minutes and 41 seconds of your time. I’m hoping she posts more of them about the characters and more about the story. I can listen to her talk for hours!
6. The Delicate Art of Soulripping by @Sara (103 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 4th)
Since the last Story So Far, Sara Polk’s story, The Delicate Art of Soulripping has reached over 100 unique readers! Our gift for such a milestone? Chapter 3! It’s still being edited but it’s coming. Don’t worry Sara, the quality of your content is worth the wait! Ms. Polk has a lot going on with work, a cosplay project(very intriguing!) and trying to get a video made for the book - but I know when all of this content is released it will be awesome! (...And maybe a little terrifying given the concept of the story lol)
5. Chronicles of An Domhan by @Conri (104 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 3rd)
I had mentioned Mr. Conri slowing down a bit last week, but he still managed to break 100 readers since the last Story So Far which is a huge accomplishment! Unfortunately with the sudden surge of new and old contenders alike, he’s fallen out of the Top 3. There’s some new content on his page in the form of artwork from Kassandra Leigh and some editing from C. Sacco. I don’t think Mr. Conri is done yet, I just believe he’s working on some more content for us. Judging by the quality of what he’s released so far - I have a feeling it will be well worth the wait. Looking forward to it!
4. The Fairy Stepmother, Inc. by @Maggie Hoyt (109 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 5th)
Maybe it was the cute, costume book video from last week, or maybe it’s those cool new title images(love the dragon one!) - either way, Maggie Hoyt’s The Fairy Stepmother, Inc. has been one of the most fun stories to follow in this contest so far. She was an honorable mention week 1, broke in and out of the Top 10 a few times and now she’s in 4th place. One away from the Top 3! The readers love Ms. Hoyt’s voice and the way she delivers each sentence. Here’s what @Audrey T. Carroll had to say:
“The premise is so quirky and funny, and I love that the voice is clear and strong from the start. I’m sure this’ll be a fun read!”
100% agree, Ms. Carroll! Everyone should go check out Ms. Hoyt’s book page!(And that dragon title image… It’s amazing.)
3. The Slave Prince by @Jeyna Grace (124 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 2nd)
It’s September Week 1 and it’s time to talk Top 3. The Slave Prince by Jeyna Grace continues to be a powerhouse in this contest. Now at 124 unique readers, Ms. Grace continues to fight to stay in the Top 3 and continues to provide some of the most interesting and well-written comments in her comment section. This one is about independence and includes quotes from Shakespeare and an obvious direct tie-in to her book. If you haven’t had a chance to check out The Slave Prince, week 1 of the second month of the contest is a good time to start. You don’t want to be late to the party do you? You know who wasn’t late to the party? @John Dennehy . Here’s what he had to say about The Slave Prince:
“One of the most important ingredients to a great tale is struggle between where the protagonist must go and all the obstacles they face on that journey...and The Slave Prince has that in spades. A slave who must become a prince. Wow. Check this one out, you won’t regret it.“
Couldn’t have said it better myself! Go check this book out already! *Push, push*
2. Storm Song by @Allison Griner (134 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: 1st)
Allison Griner’s book, Storm Song has fallen to 2nd place. Wait… What? I didn’t think I’d be saying that this soon, let alone ever in this contest. But a remarkable campaign from Helena Echlin and Malena Watrous(more on them in a moment) has Ms. Griner’s story about Thoster Chatwyn falling into second place. Still ten readers ahead of 3rd place, I don’t think Ms. Griner needs to start worrying just yet but as an obvious favorite to take first place this has come to a surprise to all of us here at The Story So Far. It hasn’t slowed down the exciting things happening over on the book page for Storm Song. If the story reaches 200 unique readers by Sunday(tomorrow), one of Ms. Griner’s friends will record himself reading Chapter 1. I definitely want to hear that but there’s a lot of ground to cover in just a day. If you haven’t checked out the book or found out what the hype was about or why it was in the Top spot for so long - now is the time!
1. Sparked by @Lena (Helena and Malena) (224 Readers / Last Week’s Rank: N/A)
The first place book this week isn’t Storm Song. It isn’t the Slave Prince, Chroncles of An Domhan or even Leaf Falling. So, what the heck happened? If you guessed Sparked by Helena Echlin and Malena Watrous finally entered the contest - then you’re exactly right. A campaign that started early Thursday morning, has come out of the gate swinging - being the first book to reach over 200 unique readers, launching into the 1st place spot and a showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. So what exactly is Sparked? Here it is from the authors themselves:
“A girl wakes up to find her older sister missing from the tiny bedroom of their Airstream trailer. A nightmare convinces her that her sister was abducted, but no one takes her dream seriously, including their hippie mom. Meanwhile, other girls in their small town begin sparking powers—the same mean girls who’ve bullied her since grade school. What if she has to work with them to save her sister—not to mention the rest of the world?”
Ms. Echlin and Ms. Watrous are both authors on their own, both teach creative writing at Stanford’s Online Writer’s Studio and both decided that writing a novel on their own is a bit lonely and not nearly as fun. The results have been devastatingly obvious to the foundation of this Geek and Sundry Contest. Their followers/fans have come out in droves to get their preorders in for this upcoming collaboration. After reading what they’ve provided on the book page - I can see why. This is the ultimate YA Novel, with mean girls with superpowers. It’s definitely worth checking out and worth waiting to see if these two Lena’s ever slow down in the next 2 months. They’ve easily become the ones to beat in this contest.

I’m open to any and all feedback, let me know if I should keep doing these. If you like the idea/concept/posts then don’t be shy and inform your friends and other Inksharians. Let’s try to get more people involved in the forums in general and liven up the place!

I’m not sure people who aren’t tagged are even reading this or slightly interested. Also, people not using the forums enough could not be seeing this as well. Any and all extra exposure of this forum post would be appreciated!(It’s a lot of work to not be seen by more people on the site!) - A mention on your books page or more comments could keep this afloat and make sure more people see this post - therefore more exposure and good things for your entry! Plus it might get more people involved on the forums which is good for Inkshares as a whole, imo.

Shameless Plug: Book 1 signed copy giveaways? Artwork from Hieu Bui himself? More free Chapters? The more preorders it gets the more of that content you get! A Soldier’s Crest: Heroes of Khroma(my very own entry into this contest)!
