Bitcoin Forum

Hi there,

I'm a bit of a budding author, but whether my efforts are good or not, only time will tell:

http://tinyurl.com/67ev4cm

In the hyperlink above is the first chapter for my MicroNovel, it only consists of 6 chapters. The first chapter is included above. It's in a PDF format and is suited to e-readers as well. It is a science-fiction novel about time-travel.

Chapter 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 each cost 0.2 BTC to download each, meaning that the entire thing will cost 1 BTC, should you wish to download it. You can pay for one chapter at a time, in case you feel that half-way through the story it isn't great.

This is only an experiment, and depending on its results I will release more of my work.

Please feel free to rate it or if you would be interested in acquiring the next chapter!

Also, for your consideration, the chapters are roughly the same size.

Many thanks!

P.S

I forgot the most important thing about BitCoin Payments! Please send your payments to the following address:

Send me a PM to confirm how many chapters you are requesting. Upon receipt I'll send you the chapters you have ordered. I apologise that the interface is not the best (ie. going through a forum!) Please allow up to 12 hours for the delivery of the download through the PM.

P.P.S

With the suggestion of BitCoinService, I have decided to paste all the links to all chapters of the MicroNovel! Just download the ones that you want to purchase!

Chapter 2 (http://www.bitcoinservice.co.uk/files/89) - 0.20 BTC
Chapter 3 (http://www.bitcoinservice.co.uk/files/90) - 0.20 BTC
Chapter 4 (http://www.bitcoinservice.co.uk/files/91) - 0.20 BTC
Chapter 5 (http://www.bitcoinservice.co.uk/files/92) - 0.20 BTC
Chapter 6 (http://www.bitcoinservice.co.uk/files/93) - 0.20 BTC

Enjoy!

So, where the rest for download?

I also want to buy? Where is the easy button I can press to have all of them instantly on my desk? xD

Unfortunately I don't have a button as I don't feel this needs its own website. I'd just like to experiment with the concept first. If it gains more popularity I'll see if I can set up a website!

If you'd like to buy the other chapters, send me a BitCoin, allow up to 12 hours when I PM you the link (in case you PM me when I am sleeping).

Can't you set your own price at one of those bitcoin file download sites? I'll try to find a link. I enjoyed the first chapter.

Pastecoin.com seems to be down. AndI think Ubitious has a fixed fee still. Maybe no good solution yet.

Actually this is a good idea!

I will do this right now and upload the PDFs!

Won't be a moment!

I liked the first chapter and I want to buy the second.  But you should give each buyer a different bitcoin address, otherwise you can"t know for sure who actually paid.

Also, have you read my thread about selling information ?  You could set up a price for the whole book (say 100BTC for instance), and publish it to everyone once the amount has been raised.

Don't use ubitous. Use bitcoinservice.co.uk. It have better commision fee as it is 10%. Ubitious takes 50%.

Cool, already done!

By the way, I may do that donation thing for the next novel I release on here, it depends on how popular the idea is.

In the meantime, the original post has now been updated with the links!

Please feel free to e-mail me any criticism or even your opinions!

Thank you all for the suggestions!

Oh, I thought there was another one, but then I thought I was wrong because I didn't see it on the trade page.

There doesn't seem to be a way to browse files on bitcoinservice. Can we get a direct link?

It's been edited on the first post of this thread, FreeMoney.

I've sucessfully downloaded the second chapter.

Ah, thanks.

Pretty good story. If you write another I'd read it.

The story is interesting, but I think there's too much exposition.

See, hear, smell...not tell.


For page 10:

I would do something like this. Cock cock. BRRR BRR BRR BRR BRR. The bullets ripped shred through the car. Some of the bullets were ricocheting in the engine, tearing through belts, liquid holders, and other components. Soon, the engine inside, brust into flame. The car suddenly felt a strong vibration and smoke were rising from the hoods.

However, I am not a novel writer. So take my advice with a grain of salt.

Thanks alot for your feedback, it's very much appreciated. By exposition do you mean too much explaining? As you said, telling, and nor enough showing?

Yeah.
