Story titles... and the teaser blurb

Posted at
 

Just a quick hit. If the title of the story you've written basically tells your story, you're probably missing out on readers. That is, a title of "Mom Tells Dad to Shove It and Makes Me Her Sex Slave" may have told potential readers all they needed to know about the story and won't open it. Most of the blockbusters on SOL have short, simple titles that don't tell much, if anything, about the story. The same is true for those teaser blurbs. If you tell the story in two or three sentences in the blurb, I guarantee fewer readers. They already know the story. Why read it? That blurb should be a teaser, something to whet the appetite of someone trolling for something new to read. It should not encapsulate the story.

Beth--Chapters 171 and 172

Posted at
 

Chapter 171 is in the queue to be posted tomorrow. However, visiting relatives will almost certainly not allow me to start, much less complete, Chapter 172 until after their departure. And, since it's Bedtime for Bonzo now, I cannot start it now. While some of the authors on SOL are in the open, so to speak, I am not. Therefore, I may not be able to make my projected posting of Chapter 172 on the 11th. In fact, it's highly unlikely. I'll try to get back to an every-fourth-day posting schedule as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.

Beth screw-up

I completely forgot about canon having Lana and Brett born within five days of each other when I decided on birth dates for many of the characters. Thus, since the story is well beyond Lana's birthday, I'll have to go back and change that bit to get it to agree with new canon.

Chapter 166 is written, uploaded, and ready to be published in the New World's idea of tonight.

Beth--next chapters

Posted at
 

I've gotten a lot of writing in recently. With Chapter 160 posting this evening, the next two chapters are queued to be posted at intervals of four days. Hopefully, I can stay ahead of things for a while so that I can maintain that every-fourth-day posting schedule.

It's coming up, so Happy April Fools' Day!
