It's just to gently caress with everyone that the page's title is "Wild Cards Sample" isn't it?

No, he has rolled the projects together, and will start publishing chapters of SOIAF in each Wild Cards book.

Well, since no one has mentioned this, A GAME OF BONES WILL NEVER GET ON AMAZON THRU SMASHWORDS. They say they ship to Amazon, but that's been a pending deal/vaporware/wishful thinking for years now and it will never happen. You have to put it on Amazon yourself through their KDP program. Smashwords is also VERY hit or miss when it comes to propagating to the iTunes store, and you'll have to check that it's there yourself. If it gets rejected from the iBookstore for whatever reason you will never find out what that reason is.

Alright, good info, thank you. I've got the book submitted to Amazon through KDP and I'll keep a close eye on the Apple store information through Smashwords. If we aren't rejected, we should hit Amazon in about 12 hours.

The other good news is that we have been accepted into the Smashwords premium catalog so we'll be shipping out to the rest of the big ebook publishers very soon.

Time to start spinning up the promotion machine.

Dorne as a whole is a metaphor for GURM's writing style. He keeps planning and planning and then when it falls apart...nothing happens..

And deckle-edged. I leafed through one of those books the other day and it felt borderline erotic to the touch. Ergo, a perfect fit for this deeply sensuous novel.

I think we missed out by not kickstartering this when we first got started. I think we should use indiegogo, though, for reasons that do not involve the ease with which one can commit massive fraud there in any way.

Sir, I can most assuredly assure you that there were only real people (and cat) with their sheer voice talents involved in this production (you can hear us titter in places).

Got Chapter 7 mostly recorded, but unfortunately it's boring as gently caress, uh oh!

What is to be done?

Who or what can challenge, and stand a chance at beating, the corporate juggernauts dominating the world?
Friends seeing it is the best part, it's free advertising. Plus you get awkward conversations like "So Mulatto Butts, I didn't know you read erotic books. I'm not upset ... Just surprised." from parents, ex-girlfriends and coworkers.

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.

I just straight-up posted a link on facebook to buying it on smashwords and said "yo, I wrote some of this erotic parody novel with a bunch of dorks on the internet" and a bunch of my "peeps" thought that was rad.

Maybe one of them bought it, who knows.

Is he legitimately a financially struggling young adult, or just one of those turdbags that will pay $5.40 for a coffee that lasts 10 minutes but won't drop $0.99 on an itunes song he'll listen to forever?

If it's the latter: It's $3. Mail him $2 and a pack of ramen. And tell him I said he's a chump.
