James Rasile liked an update for Tantalus Depths

The campaign for Tantalus Depths is alive and well. I’ve allowed myself exactly one day to recuperate after the hectic last days of Geek and Sundry’s hard science fiction competition, but now we are back at it with a passion. Check out this new teaser promo video, and consider sharing it on your social media channels to help bring attention to the book.


By the way, SCARAB can build virtually anything you could possibly ask it, however it cannot synthesize organic matter. It can’t make you a cake, it can’t make you a pony, and it can’t make me 750 supporters. That’s why I need you!
Tantalus Depths is moving ahead right on schedule for funding, but I’ve almost exhausted my personal contacts, so I’m in need of community support more than ever. If you’re at all interested in this project, please, please order a copy of the ebook. Tell your friends in person, ask for their support in this project as well. I promise you, this story is well worth reading.

    Sorry for the double update, but I’ve had three people ask me this already. If you pre-ordered the first time TSM was available, those orders do not carry over to the new campaign. FYI.

      James Rasile liked the forum thread, How many chapters?
      It might also depend on the length of your chapter. The guy who stopped at 8 chapters may actually have less up there than the guy who stopped at 3. My opinion is that the first uploaded chapter (not necessarily the first chapter of the book) is the most important: it’s the one visitors see first, and I suspect that a lot of people make their decisions based on that chapter alone, without looking at the rest. Anything else after that is supplementary: in case someone wants/needs to browse some more before being convinced.

      It might be worthwhile to consider what @Kyle James did with his uploads for "Not Afraid of the Fall": instead of uploading full chapters, he uploaded a lot of very short excerpts taken from various points in the book; a few are only a paragraph or two. On the plus side, he gets to pick and choose the tastiest morsels of his text; everything is bite-sized and feels like nothing, so the reader has no problem eating them up like potato chips; and it gives a broad overview of a lot of different places in the novel. On the minus side, seeing a long list of "chapters" is a bit daunting, and might discourage people from looking at all, if they think each is going to be a full-length chapter.
