Welcome to Licentia's new bookstore.

The books have arrived.

If you buy a book you will get a code sent by private message and an explanation on how to view your text
The link is: http://www.malarchy.wi-fiexpress.com...p?showforum=19

There will be a subforum for every customer with a code to enter it.

Readable books
Coming of Men 30 gp
The Assassin 30 gp

and the first books have arrived

so if we buy one of these books do you write out a little story for us?

Actually that would be cool. Dutch you could hire a writer (I'd be glad to) and charge a lot more for those books.

the best would be if i could give someone a code to access a site with the story so i can sell the same story to multiple people, but i would be very happy to just save them and send them one by one

ice2k4, a writer would be great (since my english is not marvelous)

My friend, you are in much luck. I have webspace available that i can host it on. And I wouldn't mind writing a few novels. Do I get paid a percentage of each book sold, or do I get paid a set amount for every book written?

I prefer a percentage of the books sold, what percentage do you propose?

webspace is great

I think we should raise the prices with real books

well look at it like this- a basic paperback in the UK costs about as much as a couple of pints, so just compare all your prices to the rebel pub as way of working stuff out :D

Well 35% decent?

Ok it's allright

If we're going to write real texts we will raise prices ofcourse
If you want you can start working at your first text.

Allright, my first text is going to be a work of Licentian non-fiction. It will be about 4 brave men who travel into the lands of the Mongols. This book will most likely be the first of a trilogy. It is based on the RPG: Mongol Looting Thread.

I have just completed my first work:

"Coming of Men"

It is the first in a trilogy based on the Licentian voyage of Ice, Future and Experiment. The second part of this trilogy will be released soon.

It's 3 full pages (12 font.) Dutch do you want me to make it longer, or how long do you want most books?


Note to dutchfire: Right now I am setting up a place on my webspace for us. I have a forum already installed on it, so I'm going to set it up as follows. There will be a subforum, password protected, for everyone who purchaces a book. In each subforum, I will give each book a thread, that was purchased by that person.

The person won't have to register for the forums, because we'll jsut give them a password for their subforum through pm.

Edit: I set it up and posted my first work in the sub-forum for jsut me and you to see. I'm sending the password to the subforum for you to get into it. I posted the work in the sub forum. This is the system I was talking about, and each person would have their own subforum to log into. You do not have to register.

i'm at school now but i will have a look today hopefully or otherwise tomorrow

I have taken a look but i didn't read the whole text.

It's of a nice size. What do you think about the price?

btw I had to create an account and log in to read the text is that supposed to be this way?

I intended for it to not be that way, but it seems that I can't get it to work without registering. I'll make a universal account, that you can put in this first post, so no-one has to make an account. Account name would be bookstore password would be bookstore.

I'm not sure what to price it, maybe 30 Gold? You could charge more, I just don't know how many people will buy the book at higher prices.

its just an idea but someone could do a NES style book...

I am curious as to whether or not you would be looking for another budding novelist. If so I would be glad to lend some works.

PS
IRL I am planning to major in English, and become either a novelist or a professor.

Oh Future, btw, Your one of the main characters in my first work.

a little question about the set-up
do you want to make a subforum for every customer (sp?) or for every book?

future: I want to see how this book is going first, but at some point I probably will need a second writer i just don't know at what time

its just an idea but someone could do a NES style book...
NES, meaning?

a little question about the set-up
do you want to make a subforum for every customer (sp?) or for every book?

Every customer get's their own, so all the books they bought are in one place.

Well a NES is when you play a game of civ and basically just make a story about it.

if we're going to make a NES it should be about the demogame itself in my opinion

I guess I gould write a few of those, but I'd write them on the demogame.

well im just saying because it could lead to epic tales like Romance of the three kingdoms and the such like, people could pay per chapter or something.

I think we should sell books, and they're could be a series of books. I might work on a world atlas type thing for the demogame, and sell it here.

great

and now we'll wait until someone buys a book :P

Maybe you should edit your second post to say this...


Books
list of unreadable books and prices

Readable books
List of readable books


I feel that you post is a little unclear.

sorry, I don't understand what you mean

Basically just title the post prices or something. I dunno, I jsut found it a little unclear, that's all.

is it ok now?

well id buy a book but you only seem to have one and i kinda read the thread where it happened...

Not exactly what I meant, but whatever, it's no big deal.

BCLG, well, I did use a lot of real quotes from the thread, but the beginning focuses on a character named Ice :p and his hardships.

do you want to write a new book already (so BCLG will buy it and we have our first sale!!!!:D )

Yeh I was going to last night, but I got too caught up in work. I'll try and get one done today when I have time.

okay, great :thumbsup:

Sorry it's taken me so long, but so much ahs been going on for me in RL. I am currently working on a book about Chip Chipper's (Swissempire) journey.

After that I'll finish the second in my trilogy of the Mongol looting.

okay, hopefully someone will buy a book sometime soon.
At least this thread is getting higher in the threadlist.

well again with the still only have 1 book....

why dont you write something dutch- a collection of jokes perhaps?

hmm, I might try.

i would like to purchase ICE2ks newest book please...

Yes, my newest book I jsut announced in the Rebel Pub II.

It is called The Assassin.

Dutch you can read it first in the same place I posted the other book.

Okay. Great! The price will be the same as the other book.
I, or Ice, will PM you the info you need to read the book as soon as possible.

I'm glad you liked it. I might write the second one to it tonight.

Okay, I've done it.
Thanks for buying a book Swiss:thumbsup:

Ill buy a book, when i have the time to read it is a complete other matter :)

Which book do you want?

the second one.

Setting up a sub-forum for you now. I will pm you with a password.

Edit: Seems the web-server is down right now, sorry for the inconvience. I will set it up ASAP.

Ice, the forum isn't working on my computer.

Nor on mine, read the edit of my last post.

Okay
PS: If it's fixed, can you give me the authority to set up subforums too?

Yeh I was thinking about that the other day. I'll give you full admin, since no-one really uses the damned forums.

okay! (10 character limit)

i havnt managed to find time to read the book yet ice but i will do shortly.
