Sporemageddon FAQ
Added 2022-09-15 19:45:24 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
So, I've had to take a lot of writing time to answer questions, and usually they're some variation of the same question, so I decided to just write them all down and answer them here to make everything simple.
Q: What's happening to Sporemageddon?
A: I sold it to a new publisher who bought to exclusive rights to publish the story.
Q: Will it still be on Royal Road/Spacebattles/Scribblehub/Amazon?
A: No.
Q: What about patreon?
A: Any incomplete volume (ie: Vol 3 right now) will still be on patreon until it's completed.
Q: Why are you doing this?
A: Because I want to spread Sporemageddon to a wider audience and they happened to pay me plenty.
Q: Where can we continue to read Sporemageddon?
A: If you mean into Volume three? Then only my patreon for now. Once it's done, then the new publisher will be publishing it.
Q: Whatever shall we do now that Spore is gone?
A: Read... one of my many, many other stories? Both Fluff 2 and Heart of Dorkness 2 are completed on patreon and will be soon on RR/SB/SC. Otherwise, check out Stray Cat Strut or Cinnamon Bun... or Love Crafted, or Lever Action, or... you know, I can't really be accused of not providing a heap of free stories. Sporemaggedon accounts for about 2% of my wordcount.
Q: Do you have a link to the new site?
A: Not yet! I'll post about it as soon as I can!
Q: Did you look over the contract with a lawyer?
A: Yes. It's why we've been going back and forth about it for months.
Q: When will Sporemageddon be leaving?
A: September 16th, 2022. If you want a paperback of the first volume, you should try to order it before the end of the day!
Alright, if you have any more questions, I'll answer what I can. I'm under a pretty strict NDA at the moment, for reasons I can't explain because of the NDA.
Comments

2022-09-17 04:57:03 +0000 UTCWill new publisher also do digital distribution? I'd be happy to buy a non-Amazon ePub.

2022-09-16 13:51:50 +0000 UTCYes! I didn't sell the audio rights to the publisher, so I'm looking for someone to produce the Sporemaegddon audiobook now!

2022-09-16 03:00:09 +0000 UTCPretty cool that the publisher is intrested in buying this TBH. Mainstream media nowadays is soo full of re-makes and re-masters that it's rare to see people invest in original ideas. Especially when it comes to original ideas containing non-binary characters.
