The world is dark and broken after the god-king’s ambition nearly destroyed it. Jak Fuller is an orphan whose love of stories has led him to wander in search of legends. Soon it leads him to the allure of dark magic...
You have worked long and hard on this project. It looks like you are proceeding exceedingly well, doing everything right and should not settle for anything less than the full treatment.
The "light option" is just not good enough for this project. It is a nice option to have and is perfectly suited for many other projects though.
Inkshares might even decide to bump you up to the main model, but I wouldn't take that chance, unless you got some assurance beforehand.
I believe you will surpass the 750 mark before April 11, so go for it!
New followers continue to trickle in, but at this slowed down rate, it is taking longer than we wish to reach 100.
We are closing in on 80 writers who are expressing interest in the project and that is enough to proceed to the next step.
At this point, we want to do more to encourage submissions. So we're starting a clock ticking as of . . . right . . . now!
Ready, set:
Send in your submissions and when we reach a point where we have enough acceptable material to fill the anthology (around 200 pages), we will stop the clock, declare the contest over and announce the winners!
This could happen without ever reaching 100 followers or setting a deadline. Snooze for a couple weeks and BOOM, it could be over.
So lets get cracking - use NanoWriMo or whatever motivates you to get your submission in sooner than later. This contest is still open ended, but the end could be declared at any time!
If you think you need more time and are afraid the anthology will be filled before you have something ready to submit, there is an option available for you - just get moving and and bring more writers into the group!
Bring the follower count up to 100. That will trigger the original plan and set a hard deadline for submissions three months out from the day we get the 100th follower.
We just wanted to add a wrinkle that would keep the project alive AND moving forward whether or not we ever reach 100 followers.
You now have two options and two potential strategies to pursue:
1. Submit something soon and increase your odds of winning by having fewer writers to compete against.
or
2. Bring in enough followers to trigger a hard deadline and know that you will have a full three months to work on an entry.
