When will you rise...and when will you fall?

I've spoken before about my love of fanfic, and how it allows you to do things you can't necessarily do "in canon." One of those things, one of my favorite things, is the alternate universe. What would have happened if Toby had never become a fish? If Thomas had convinced Alice to go back to the Covenant with him, instead of leaving it for her?

If someone else had been the first to die?

I have written an alternate ending to Feed, picking up at what was originally chapter twenty-five. It's called Fed, and I'm very pleased with it, in part because it shows that no, the original ending wasn't the worst possible outcome. This was.

Fed is kindly being hosted by Orbit, thus preventing me from becoming a blibbering mess in the week leading up to the release of Blackout, and for right now, you can download and read by liking the Facebook page they've set up specifically for this purpose. (It's getting a one-week Facebook exclusive for marketing purposes, and I surely would appreciate it if you went and hit the "like" button.) This is full of spoilers, so I recommend against reading it if you haven't read Feed.

Rise up while you can.

I liked it, and got FED on my screen, but I haven't figured out how to download it so I can read it later. Am I missing something?

To be honest, I don't know. :( I'm sorry.

No reason to apologize! I just figured I was missing something obvious. Since it's an FB exclusive now, I imagine the other formats will be available later? :)

Looking forward to getting a chance to sit down and read it!

When you are looking at it on the FB page, click on the link that says visit URL.

When you get there it is a page at issue dot com for orbit books (where you could read the book at well)

Underneath the book are a bunch of little icons. Click on the one that looks like a book with an arrow pointing down on it. It will ask you to log in or create an account. You can log in using your FB account. Once you log in, go back to that page and click on the download link again and the .PDF file will download.

I love poking around to find things and figure them out

It's only going to be PDF unless someone volunteers to convert it for me, but I'll post-and-host after the week's exclusive is out.
