February Round-Up

[k_a_webb]

This month has been another difficult one and there are no guarantees that March will be any better, but I'm hoping to work around all the problems. I have been suffering from low spoons, which has resulted in me spending a lot of my time asleep, as well as dealing with issues at home. Unfortunately this has meant that I haven't posted any of the prompted stories from my last session, although I am working on them and hope to get them posted as soon as possible, and I still have two to post from the session before last. I'm sorry if you've been waiting to read a story.

For February the free story was Jack - An Asexual Vampire (part 1) (LJ link), which was written from one of ysabetwordsmith's many prompts.

There were four random stories posted, three for the World Walkers collection: Mab's Story (part 1) (LJ link); Zoe's Story (part 1) (LJ link);  and Rhiannon's story (part 1) (LJ link); and one story for the 'Astral' World collection: Veronica's Story (part 1) (LJ link).

I also wrote some fanfiction for aldersprig's web serial Addergoole. Ursula's First Night at Addergoole (LJ link); Guntram (LJ link); Livi - The First Morning (LJ link); and Adelaide (LJ link).

The donor perks page (LJ link) was edited this month. If anyone has suggestions for any other perks, preferably different to what can be purchased with credits, please let me know.

Plans are underway for creating a website, which will be especially useful for selling ebooks, and I'm looking at spending around about £23 for the domain and hosting.

The first newsletter (LJ link) will be going out this month.

One piece of bonus material was posted: The Origin of the Vampires (LJ link) for the Donor House collection. I have another in progress and two more to start.

No donations were received.

Again signal boosting low side, so I'm not going to hold the draw.

The surprise draw, which I've held every month, is not going to be held this month. There are several draws that have been completed and when I've informed the winner I haven't had a reply. I'm not sure if it's because people aren't interested or if there is some other reason, so I'd like some feedback on this. I personally love the suprise draw, but if it's just me than I might change things around a little.

Plans for March include: catch up on everything I didn't get done during February, especially the admin work I was planning on doing; start working on the donor filter (once I've tested something out); normal monthly posts - free story, collection spotlight and character spotlight.

My goals for March are: write 50,000 words this month and raise at least £50 in donations.
