Robert Batten liked an update for The Last Faoii

Greetings, Faoii!

We did it! We survived the campaign, we picked up our blades, and we hit Quill. The campaign has officially ended and The Last Faoii WILL be in your hands. Let me hear your victory cry!



Since we’ve hit Quill, the price for The Last Faoii has dropped. If there’s anyone out there who was waiting or unable to join the fight earlier, you still can. Your blade is waiting for you On The Last Faoii’s Page.

For editing updates--I’ve heard back from the last of my betas. I have two spots that require a little more tweaking and am struggling to make them perfect. One is a complex bit of thaumaturgy that I’m having trouble explaining. I know how I want it to work, but the wording alludes me. Detailed magic only shows up in a couple of places in the book, and most of it is learned through battle training and cast during fight scenes-- so it is best explained through action. After all, why tell when you can show?  But the part I’m struggling with requires more explanation. If anyone has experience with this and would like to help me edit a few paragraphs (we’d end up going over 2 pages or so to make everything make sense) please DM or e-mail me. It’s one of the things that makes Inkshares special. Let’s make this book perfect together! 

The second part that needs revising is simpler. I moved things too quickly through a scene and its climax will be more impactful with added suspense. I’ve already started rewrites on this part and find the changes delicious. You’re going to like them. ;P

Okay, Faoii. That’s it for now. Contact me if you want to help with the thaumaturgy scene. Or find me a soldier with experience there and I’ll make her/him one of my generals. 

Good work, everyone. You’ve made me proud. Dismissed.

Faoii-Tahani

    @J. Graham-Jones Yes they will drop out and the rest will get bumped up position-wise.

      A question regarding the Launchpad cross-entrants and logistics...

       Since the top 3 from Launchpad are all on The List, will they drop out of The List when they win Launchpad? If that happened, would someone else take their place in the contest? Or would the pool of List submissions just shrink?

          Are you guys reaching out to the people on the list confirming they’re even still interested? I’m sure some of the people whose campaigns have ended either rushed a book that wasn’t really ready into the campaigning stage because they wanted to hop onto whatever contest was going at the time, or they might have been discouraged by their loss and shelved the entire idea without intending to return.
          Also, I know a lot of people, especially the ones who reached or almost reached Quill, are pretty much campaigned-out, and a lot of the ones who never even got that far failed originally because they don’t really have the understanding or means to run a strong campaign. It’s going to be a really uneven playing field. Is anything going to be done to even the odds, or help the contestants campaign more effectively?
          Lastly, won’t some of the books that have reached Quill status have adjusted pricing? If two books are competing for pre-orders and one of them only costs $8 while the other is $10, there’s a huge handicap there.
