Stone writes beautifully. The characters of RUNE are alive and vibrant;  the world in which they dwell is both exciting and rich; and the story which propels it all is not only engaging, but  profoundly deep.  Well done, sir!

    Jamison Stone liked an update for The Amaranth Chronicles: Deviant Rising

      Okay guys, here’s the deal; I’ve got 11 days to move 72 copies. Not impossible but If I can move 10-15 in the next 24 hours I’ll be in a good position to negotiate an extension. This is what I need; any of you who have been waiting to pre-order, or know someone who would like to, its now your time to shine! If everyone within "earshot" of this shared and retweeted this post it should get us to where we need to be. Thank you all for your support so far. We’re almost there you guys! We’re counting on you.

      Jamison Stone liked the forum thread, What is the best image proportion for Inkshares books?
      The standard proportions appear to be 2:3 width to height. For use on the site, it looks as though that comes out as 400 pixels by 600 pixels.

      But you’re probably going to want to have a much bigger, higher resolution "master copy" for when the thing does go to print. For that, I don’t know, but I would suggest being ready with something 6"x9" at 300dpi, or 1800x2700 pixels. Or, if you like, even higher: it’s better to scale down an image than to scale up.

        I’m really glad you brought this up, @Jamison Stone ! 

        Not only am I hoping to be involved in two anthologies that are currently on the site, but both of my own "next-up" projects are collaborative works. I’ve been hesitant to add them to the site because I’m not sure how I would handle the royalties. It would be FANTASTIC if Inkshares could program a way to co-author projects without creating additional accounts or leaving it up to one author to distribute the money.

          Jamison, thanks for bringing this up! While at this time my sole focus is on my own individual contribution to my book (#amwriting), having the ability to co-author something on inkshares and have it mesh with the interface in the way you describe seems like a no-brainer. It should be built in - because why not?!

          Brian raises a good point though - I believe the inkshares folks are always busy tweaking the site’s normal functions. BUT that’s no reason to discount the value of your proposal. I hope they’re hitting the whiteboard as we speak to hash out some kind of plan on the site’s backend to get the co-author functionality up and running. There are probably a million considerations I’m not aware of, royalties/payments being one of them, as Richard says.

          (Just yesterday I was thinking about where I could take AiM after it’s published, in what direction the ’franchise’ is headed, etc. I suddenly realized the realm of graphic novels / serial comics would be a perfect fit... But I’d need to pair up with an artist. Year(s) from now, if Inkshares ever wanted to get graphic novels in their wheelhouse, being able to ’co-author’ a story in that format would be much easier if the artist/collaborator had their own account, as you say. Followers of AiM could/would be instantly notified of the comics’ existence, etc. etc. Nothing but benefits for authors/site-runners/readers, the list goes on.)

          TL;DR - Jamison’s idea is awesome, and really only adds value to the inkshares model while taking nothing away.

            Jamison Stone liked an update for The Traveller’s Cup

            QUILL ACHIEVED, SPACE CREW. 

            We hit 250 last night, which means this book is going to be published. Let’s take a moment to breathe. This was made possible by all of you (our relentless Crew), with the last Quill order going to our honourary Quill Captain, Micah Baker. 


            If you want to pick up his intriguing book, which is a sinister sort of space opera, you can do that here.

            So What Happens Now?

            First, the good. 

            • Once the campaign ends I’ll be working with the crew at Inkshares to talk deadlines and a publishing schedule. This is happening!

            • I can now officially pledge funds to BuildOn, the literacy charity I’ve partnered with. They’ll be getting 25% of my profits. 

            • Your prizes are guaranteed. All the prizes that don’t rely on numbers of pre-orders will be happening. 

            And the reality: 

            •  This is where we are right now. Yes, The Traveller’s Cup is getting published, but it’s not fully funded

            • Fully-funded means that Inkshares will take care of a lot of the publishing "dirty work". Editing, marketing, distribution, etc. 
            • Since they’ll take on those services it frees me up to give more time to producing a solid book, and leaves me with more funds to give to prizes, and to increase my BuildOn donation from 25% to 50. 


            So while we hit a major milestone, you can’t expect the ship to stop here. 

            If you’re a member of this Crew, I need you to make it your personal responsibility to help me boost this to 750. Tell a friend. Order a copy for your mom. You can make a huge difference. 

            Your Cautiously Celebratory Space Captain,
            -AC
