[[ Pretty Shade of Grey: epilogue ]]

Ending notes:Ughghghg thanks to everyone again who stuck with my slow, inconstant updates and the several-year hiatus and the really bad first few chapters and just how messy and sloggy and drafty this story is and I’m glad everyone likes it anyway! I promise I’m going to make it better for you later on. And I ( Read more... )

Thank you~! I'm really glad it's finished too, after eight years! Even if it took a really ridiculously long time, it's really good I didn't finish it back in '05/'06. It would have been a way different story.

I can't talk too much about what the sequel is about since basically any mention of the plot would spoil the entire storyline. That's why I basically only say that it's seven or so years afterwards and very different! I might get one or two chapters up by the end of this year since they're nearly done/very short.

I like Dreamspinner too (and was already leaning towards them) just from what I've experienced with buying published books (which is not a lot, because I am constantly disappointed and free stuff is often better). But my favorite published m/m book is from DS, and I do really like the ability to read the synopsis (and they seem to do ebooks and physical books both?) I didn't know about the Amazon thing, that's even cooler! Even when looking into self-pub I wanted to go with something that linked to Amazon, but that's cool DS already does.

Sounds like it's going to be interesting :)

Another publishing company that I've had some luck with is Smashwords, but they don't edit the work that gets submitted to them, so I've come across some very poorly written books. They're not only slash, and they're also linked to amazon, but they have a pretty big selection. One thing I really enjoy about their browsing process is that they filter books by length, so you can find longer books if you feel like reading an epic. That's one thing that I dislike about Dreamspinner- their lack of filtering features; it's mostly just the length one, though.

What's your favorite published book?

Haha, I hope so. And I hope if I warn enough about how different it is, nobody will be shocked when it starts going up. :D

Oh yeah, I've heard about them too. I like that they have a bunch of different formats to read/download stuff in; that's really nice. For self-pub I was mostly looking at them and createspace.

Shades of Gray (lololol that title is kind of funny in relation to this post) by Brooke McKinley. Granted I don't read a lot of published m/m books (about twenty, at this point, a lot of the "big name" authors) but it's one I keep reading over and over again and don't regret buying at all.

Good luck!

And I'm definitely going to check out that book. This Amazon money I have is burning a hole in my pocket XD
