and the first books have arrived

 

[BCLG100]

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

 

[ice2k4]

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

 

[dutchfire]

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)

 

[ice2k4]

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?

 

[dutchfire]

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

 

[BCLG100]

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

 

[ice2k4]

Well 35% decent?

 

[dutchfire]

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.

 

[ice2k4]

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.

 

[ice2k4]

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

 

[dutchfire]

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?

 

[ice2k4]

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.

 

[BCLG100]

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

 

[I am the Future]

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.

 

[ice2k4]

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

 

[dutchfire]

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
