Hello, internet world!
I have a short story that I'm intending to offer as a free download early next year, to celebrate the release of Discount Armageddon. This means I need the story to be in e-pub format. Anybody got the technical skills to make this for to go? I'll be your best friend, or something (or send you a book, whatever).
It's a pretty short story, about 7,000 words, and will have a cover and an internal dingbat for dividing sections.
ETA: While I appreciate the suggestions, if I had the time to do this myself right now, I would. I do not have time, so I am asking for help. Please stop suggesting ways for me to do it for myself.

Title: Velveteen vs. The Holiday Special
Summary: A long time ago, before Velveteen quit The Junior Super Patriots, West Coast Division, things were getting started, and getting strange. This is a beginning.
( It turns out that there are good things and bad things that come with being a junior superhero...Collapse )

geeky - Current Music:Florence and the Machine, "Heartlines."
Words: 113,490.
Pages: 380.
Chapters: 26.
Reason for stopping: draft two is finished.
Music: a lot of fan mixes, actually.
The cats: Lilly, in my tank top drawer; Alice, on the orange cat tree; Thomas, occupying half the bed.
And there we are; draft two is finished, roughly a month after draft one was put solidly to bed. All the edits have been processed, many words have been trimmed, many logic puzzles have been solved, and many more surely remain. The trimmed-down, slimmed-down manuscript is off to The Agent, who will savage it with sharp, sharp teeth and cruel, cruel claws, and it will be a better book as a consequence.
Next up, The Chimes at Midnight, which stands a good chance of losing the "The" before it ever sees print. But we shall see, won't we?
