One of my favorite parts of your works (Wayrift, Dregiau, etc.) is the community interaction part (even if I'm rather lazy in that area, unfortunately). So yes- I like!

Also, after you publish Dreigiau, maybe I can find some czech publisher who might be interested in translating and publishing it. *wish**wish**wish* (I suppose you won't object?)

I'm glad that makes more sense! Sorry the first was so long winded. Sometimes I get ahead of myself trying to explain things. : < Yay! I’m glad that makes more sense!

The idea isn't to make people pay for the site, it's to give people who have already been a part of Dreigiau a way to continue to access it for free when I go to publish it, rather than taking it down. <em>I'm sorry if that wasn't clear -- I want Sygnus folks to have the site for free.</em> That's the reason why I'd be setting it up. If I charge a fee, it would be later on after I've published the ebooks, and never to existing readers. Actually, for you and all the Sygnus people, there wouldn’t be a fee.

I’m sorry if that wasn’t clear — I want Sygnus folks to have the site for free. That’s the reason why I’d be setting it up. If I charge a fee, it would be later on after I’ve published the ebooks, and never to existing readers.

I'm a little sad, but seriously grateful that you're considering a one-time only fee (as opposed to monthly like some sites *sighs*). This means that once you get it up, I can lend money to someone who can buy things online (even if I can't) and sign up! ~That's what I did to buy book 1 of Dreigiau. I gave the money to a friend and helped them though the process using their account. I think it's a good idea, although I have a feeling you may lose out money-wise in the long term.

That's something I haven't thought about yet. I don't think there's a way that the membership widget can determine something like that, but I would be willing to discount it manually. Basically, I have complete control over accounts and can sign anyone up on the fly. So if they sent a reduced payment in for membership, I could just manually add them to the site as a member. :) Thanks, Thari!

Well... I hope it's possible. I'm currently world- and character-building for a story where the majority of the main characters are based around a single trait. Perhaps it's my insistence on being contrary, maybe I'm hoping that by approaching things from the opposite direction I'll manage to make it work, but... they pretty much embody 7. I seem to be trying to talk myself out of it. Oh dear... But, yeah. It's been really tricky. While they have to be one-dimensional in some respects, it's possible to build on them - a creature that represents logic collects art and statuary to try and understand humanity in a static form, and plans to the point of impracticality. I guess - I hope - that 3 is the golden crime. Given space to stretch, even the most basic characters can twist themselves into something realistic. After all, how many figments sprung fully formed from the first imagining? Re Ravyn:
