2019 Recap

Added 2019-12-31 14:00:03 +0000 UTC

Hi Everyone,

Since we’re winding down the year I got curious and ran the numbers for 2019. Over the course of the past 12 months there were 109 stories/individual chapters posted to the page (only counting new work, not re-posts of old stories), which averages out to just over 2 stories per week. To break that down further, as a ballpark estimate, each story averages around 8 pages, which brings us to 872 pages worth of stories. At roughly 500 words per page, that totals out to 436,000 words.

For reference, a good starting length for a novel is 80k words. That means you all helped produce 5.5 novels worth of stories over the course of the year. Throw in all the editing for the e-books, finding and starting a new day job, and trying to maintain a life outside of all the work, it’s no wonder the year was a bit of a blur on my end.

All of which is to say that, whether you were here for the whole year or only a part, your support is truly appreciated! I hope you've enjoyed the stories so far, and I hope everyone has a happy and safe New Year’s. I can’t wait to see what we come up with in 2020.
