Amazonian stuff.

alexandraerinI ended up doing the first thing on my task list before writing said list, because it was taking a while for my brain to wake up and I didn't want to waste the morning. I've just submitted the pet girl story to Amazon as Kitty: Caged Love. Earlier I wasn't sure if it was going to turn into the first couple of chapters of a novel or stand on its own. My attempts to carry the story further didn't go anywhere, so I figure the title/sub-title thing is a good way to leave it open for revisiting in the future.
At a bit over 6,000 words the story would work out to twenty-five standard 250 word pages in standard print format. I'd call that a novelette. The actual number of pages will depend on how your e-reader settings are.
I'm pricing it at $2.99, which is more than I'd normally price something that size for, but this falls under the heading of "The Internet Is For Porn." Even though Tales of MU can go (and has gone) months without a sexual encounter, the fact that it includes sex means I'm considered by a lot of people to be an erotica writer. Might as well get paid for it, right?
No link for it yet, as it takes a while for Amazon to review and post things.
On the subject of reviews, there are four stories on my Amazon author page that don't have any. If you've ever said you'd like to do something to support me but you don't feel you have enough money to make it worthwhile... spending a dollar on one of those stories and giving it a positive review would be very helpful.
I mean, don't lie. If you hate one of my stories and you want to help me, please either don't review that one or write a review explaining why this story wasn't for you. Not "this story sucked!" but "I prefer stories that do ______ while this one did _______." That's more helpful for everybody. But if you feel bad about writing a negative review and really feel like doing me a favor, wait until there are positive reviews there first.
I'm not a fan of the averaged-star system of reviews, but I like the idea of being able to see what people who did or didn't like a story did or didn't like about it.
Anyway, I'll have the link for Love Caged later today or tomorrow. Now on to the task list.
