Re: General Discussion

Woodward Academy

I was wanting to know if there is another form for the WA series outside of this site? I can’t help admitting that it’s one of my favorite series across all books I’ve read, lewdness or not. I’m not sure if it was possible to have a physical print version or a ebook that I could purchase specifically.
I love the series and I’m on my 3rd read through (just skipping the naughty bits this time).

Re: General Discussion

There currently is not.  However, I will try to remember to do conversions to ebook format over the next few days.

To get started, here are the links to WAY1: Forum thread for eBooks

I will try to remember to convert the others.  I will do no more than one a day, because it's a pain in the ass.

Re: General Discussion

You could always assemble them in a word processing program for yourself and then use Calibre to convert the assembled chapters into an e-book.  That's what I did for my Kindle.  Calibre supports most if not all of the major e-book formats as far as I know.

A google search for Calibre e-book software should net you a link to the official website.

Re: General Discussion

That is exactly what I did, except that I store my books in HTML format rather than a word processor document.  That means getting all the stylesheets and graphics together so that Calibre can find them easily.  Then you have to get the Table of Contents to look right and fix any major glitches.  As I said, it's a pain in the ass.

It'll probably take less time for book 2, since I will remember all the ways that didn't work when I tried to convert book 1...

Re: General Discussion



I apologize if I am adding more work to you! I didn’t mean for it to be a hassle to even format while you do other works. I really do appreciate all the stories you’ve written over the years!

Re: General Discussion

No big deal.  It's something I've been trying to get done for quite a while, and I just keep forgetting about it.

BTW, book 2 is available now.  Click the link in the post above to go to the ebooks page.

Re: General Discussion

I am sure yours is probably way more polished and stylish then mine, but I haven't had a real problem with formatting.  I imported a single chapter into word, highlighted everything and applied the saved and modified format for general text that I have and then went through and replaced your *'s and -'s and what not with the appropriate graphic separator replacements you came out with later in the series. Once you started putting the graphic separators in your HTML text, it became even easier.  I just have to apply the format I have saved for graphic separators to them and center them on the page.

Once I've got all the chapters done I merge it into the full book document by just copy and pasting and then let Calibre go to work on it.  Admittedly I use a generic cover from Calibre, but I was more interested in the text and how it was formatted on the page.  Admittedly there were a few hiccups early on I had to figure out, usually with tab indents at the start of a paragraph, but some of that was a problem between earlier versions of Calibre, and some paragraph settings in word that got messed up and I had to figure out.  I also added page breaks between chapters so each chapter started on it's own page.  I can nit pick too.

I've been happy with my version of your books and chapters.

Re: General Discussion



I just finished WA again and I am dumbfounded at how much it actually made me cry again even knowing what was happening. Thank you again for creating it and sharing!

Re: General Discussion

Glad you're still enjoying the story.  If it makes you feel better, there are parts that still make me cry, and I wrote the damned thing.
