The Apocalypse Blog
Hello everyone!
I am currently writing an ongoing blogfic: the Apocalypse Blog. It's updated every day (mostly because I'm mildly insane), and it tracks one character's journey through the end of her world and out the other side. Here's a handy little blurb for it: Quote:
It's currently available through RSS (or the website, obviously). Once the story is complete, I'm thinking about rolling it up into an e-book, or possibly several e-books (it has just toppled over 200,000 words). Suggestions, comments, feedback, all welcome! ~Kess / Mel Apocalypse Blog - the blogfic Adventures in Text - my writing blog Last edited by Kess; 08-20-2009 at 03:27 AM. Reason: Link fixy |

Good stuff. I'm currently trying to work on a calibre recipe for your blog, which would be great for everyone here so they can download your story directly to their ereader of choice. I'll post it when i have it completed. Also, if you'd like a book cover for when you release the complete book, I do that as a hobby and have produced some for MR members (shown below)

As if I'd encourage hordes of writers to descend upon you and offer you their wares for free! That would be... RUDE!!! (what gave me away? was it the fact that I greeted 'em all like long lost pals?) |

I have no idea what a calibre recipe is, but if you need anything from me to make it work, let me know. The story is split up into handy chapter-like chunks (the Chronology page has them all listed out, and I numbered them recently for sanity). Hope you enjoy! ~Kess / Mel |
