If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Honestly, now, how many people seriously thought this would be completed until the authors were basically right at the finish?

I have a picture of me with GRRM. He looks less than enthused.

I was making sure the table of contents had been created correctly and realized that Chapter 5 had not been included and that the end of Chapter 4 was basically [put some stuff here about feelings] so I fixed both of those problems.

For the most complete Game of Bones experience, please redownload your book!

Just goes to show that the problem was never time, never heart, never ability. The problem was lack of penis-centricity.

And I don't even care if the guy was joking, it is the best thing in the world if someone didn't come to this thread to avoid being spoilered on Game of Bones.

Which chapters? The epub version has all of the chapters.

Also, I know that guy in real life and he specifically asked me to stop telling him about progress on the book so he could read it all in its completion when it was done. So no, he was not joking.

So, are we also going to be doing a Createspace P-O-D paperback version? Also, we should pimp this out in the Self-Publishing thread in CC.

On top of that, get it listed on Goonreads.com too.

If you want it bound in leather, just upload it to a usb drive then jam it in your foreskin, et voila.

It's nice that you all finished A Game of Bones, but we still have A Clash of Cocks, A Storm of Swap, A Feast of Hoes, And A Dance With Dragondick.

We need to finish a porn pardoy series before A Wind With Winter never comes out.

It's still awaiting confirmation for the premium catalog, which will list it in all the major stores like Amazon, Apple, Sony, etc.

That actually doesn't get it on Amazon (check "Status of Amazon" on this page). You can publish it directly with Amazon, though.

The chapters are there in the epub version, they just aren't linked in the table of contents. That's generated automatically by Smashwords, so I'll see if I can find some way to manually add them.

EDIT: Found the issue and fixed it appropriately. I also added a GRRMY food item to replace that little placeholder in that one Brendan chapter.

I just realized that due to this being crowdsourced, it's effectively a Wild Cards (as in the award-winning science fiction series) collection, which also essentially makes Sophia (as "editor") the GRRM equivalent.

Those chapters serve two purposes:

1. To warn well adjusted people not to read on at their own peril
2. To lure the people who appreciate that tripe into the hosed up Minotaur labryinth-on-mushrooms that is A Game of Bones

If I had no idea what this was, prologue-4 would just be some quaint boring poo poo and I'd be kinda blasé about it.

Then the fourth wall gets kicked in the dick in chapter 5 and now it's wall to wall smut. :allears:

This is amazing.
