Thank you

I absolutely love your stories. Love how you not only have great sex scenes in them but they also have some really fantastic story lines.

I greatly enjoy Woodward d stories - however I am a bit Confused concerted how in the 6th version - the episodes quality in the surprise, gasp" suspense "joy factor has gone from 10* star rate awesome to a 3*star, why is the story thrill factor and awesome factor losing steam ???
I've done another donation for 3 more installment and takes it to sept1/2016.

Eric Storm · 2016-05-01 17:18:39

I don't think the story is losing steam. Perhaps you simply don't like crime stories.

There is, of course, also the fact that David is no longer learning new things every other scene (hyperbole intended). The series has changed from a "newbie learning experience" to a "work experience" story. This was necessary because the fact is that people who are "just learning" don't, in fact, "do great things" (Harry Potter notwithstanding). I admit that this takes a bit of the built-in "wow factor" out of the story, because you, the reader, aren't learning new things every other scene along with him. I can't really help that: David has switched from primarily learning, to primarily using, his magic.

There are interesting things coming (or at least I think they're interesting... your mileage may vary...), so just hang in there.

Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't paying any attention to them, so...

Hi,

I was wondering why for example The Woodward Academy story is difficult to find. If I remember correctly I found about it in some forum.
I would suggest maybe putting it in for example novelupdates.com if possible would add some more readers and maybe more donations also.

Eric Storm · 2016-05-04 06:34:43

It's not difficult to find... if you already visit this site. 3dsmile

I'm not even familiar with the site you mentioned. The only other avenues I'm aware of for "advertising" (read "posting") the story to, I've rejected using for one reason or another over the years. Beyond that, I've always depended on word of mouth. (Or word of keyboard?)

Thanks for your feedback, though.

I've tried to get my mother to read WA ( Yes I told her that it's was erotica but I've seen some of her trashy romance novels and WA is by a factor of a thousand better ). The only problem is that she wont read anything electronically. Any ideas on how to get them to her short of printing out each book on paper?

Eric Storm · 2016-05-09 04:29:15

Um... well, if she won't read electronically, then hard copy is your only option.

I will eventually be having copies printed, but we're months away from that.

I have to say, I got an OfficeJet printer with duplexer and it has made things SO much more efficient. I don't have too do anything extra to get the pages to print on both sides and it has made writing papers for classes a lot less expensive overall. Less paper usage, the ink cartridges on this model seem to be more efficient and I have multiple volume sizes from which to choose. I got the XL to start classes and I have not replaced the black once in 2+ years (granted that most papers are now submitted via online portal, but still) and the cartridge was doing a good job the whole 2 years. When I factor in that it is a network printer and has a 6-in-1 card reader slot for photos on top of everything else, it was an amazing purchase years ago and it might even be possible to get a LaserJet with duplexer now for less than I paid for the OfficeJet.

Eric Storm · 2016-05-09 16:03:27

Perhaps, but when I said I was going to have copies "printed", I meant in book form, with a hard cover, proper binding, etc.

Eric Storm

PS: I'm surprised that the cartridge lasted without getting clogged for 2 years. You must have used it frequently for small jobs.

riun · 2016-05-10 07:46:33

Who said i was going to use my printer? The laser printer at work has a few cartages knocking around. 3dtongue

Fenixreign · 2016-05-10 10:28:10

Eric believe me, I was just as surprised, but I figured "what the hell?" and ran a print head cleaner page and it worked perfectly. It was almost creepy. I hope you do get WA published in hardcover. I guarantee that I will be buying it if it does. Of course, that would apply to almost all of your stories, but prudes gotta prude. Damn Quakers and their continuing influence on U.S. social mores!

Eric Storm · 2016-05-10 15:35:42

I said nothing about getting them "published". I said I was going to have them "printed". Different concept. A publisher wants to dick around with content to make a story as marketable as possible. A printer just wants you to pay them for the copies.

And, as per usual, to save my ass with PayPal and others, you will not be able to "buy" any copies. I will be giving them as gifts in response to donations.

riun · 2016-05-11 23:04:36

Sort of like PBS. Give us X and you get this mug. Give us XX you get a tote bag.

Eric Storm · 2016-05-11 23:29:44

Yes, except that PBS is dumb enough to ask for "pledges". I don't ask for pledges, you actually have to send donations.

Will you be doing other books after WAY? I would love to get a hardcopy of Program Alpa Omega or Dragonseekers.

*Eventually* I will have all of my books in hardcover. Woodward isn't even the one I'm starting with. My first hardcover will be CAMP, since it is (still) my most popular book. I'll most likely move on to the Woodward series after that.

Eric Storm

riun · 2016-05-25 22:58:04

LOL you don't want us to pledge our unending loyalty to your creative genius?

riun · 2016-05-31 23:10:18

Not sure I would um ..... hand my mother a copy of CAMP. I'm fairly sure that would not be a very good idea.

That reminds me a little of John Norman and his GOR series. No one dared to publish the complete series (except as ebook).

Reader459 · 2016-10-01 11:04:11

I have just read Chapter 10 of Woodward Academy.
Now I have to wait a whole month for the next chapter.
I am "paid up" for another 7 months.
This is killing me.
There has got to be a better way.
(Oh did I mention, it's a great story)

Eric Storm · 2016-10-01 17:54:20

Oh, sure, there is. You just donate, oh... say... $10,000, and I'll let you read everything as soon as I finish writing it.

Of course, in this case, you'd still have to wait, since I'm not done with Chapter 11 yet...

Hey Eric,

I just wanted to say, that I am really impressed by your determination to push out content month after month. Seeing how many other authors get lost on the way ("Stuff You Should Like" seems to show only stories marked "Serial / Novel - In Progress" with "Date Last Updated: 2007-10-02". Either I have read most of the finished content, or there are lots of unfinished stories), it is good to see that you are still going strong.

Thanks

NobfromOz · 2016-10-07 12:41:37

Fantastic Chapter as always Eric. Hope you and yours stay safe, whilst Hurricane Matthew is in your neighbour hood.
