Anyone interested in sponsoring 'Heretic' as a novel?
13 years ago
General
The wonderful guys over at 
furplanet have offered to help me turn 'Heretic' into a novel. I'm curious if any of you folks who've been enjoying it have any interest in sponsoring this effort? Up until you guys started suggesting we actually print this little story, it was something I did in my spare time, for fun. Writing another 30,000 words, going through it and really fact-checking, and doing some serious editing, is going to take a significant amount of time.
I'm planning to continue to put the chapters online for free, so. . . much like with Unconditional, I'm curious if folks would be interested in making donations, and having your name listed in the book in a 'dedication' page.
To clarify, I'll be putting new chapters out, for free, regardless. But, if you've been enjoying the story, and you don't mind donating something (doesn't matter how much. . . a dollar would be appreciated!) it will really help me alot the time to do what I need to to get this book to print, do some more artwork for it, and do a nice cover image! And no matter the amount, you'll still get your name listed in the book :)
In addition to having your name listed in the dedication page, anyone who donates $100 or more will receive a sketch of your character (completion date early 2013), and I will ensure you get a first edition copy of the book, once it's out, signed.
If you'd like to donate, you can make a donation of any amount, via paypal, to: rukiscroax[at]hotmail.com
List that it's a 'Heretic Donation' in the payment, and the name you'd like credited for your donation
Once we have a better idea when the book is going to come out (my guess would be a few months, but that depends somewhat on turnaround time with getting it printed) I'll make announcements about how to order, or pre-order it. I also just want to say. . . seeing all the wonderful comments from you guys about your desire to see this little story published REALLY is what made this a possibility! Thank you all for reading, and for pushing to make this happen :)

I've got a couple of European tours coming up soon as well as other work, so I will be able to send some money within the next month. :)
I will probably include extra art, MAYBE a small additional side story of some sort, in the printed version
already looked over their policies
So much about my dream of a Caligula remake with the Twilight cast.
Probably they don’t have a problem with movies that insults prophets of a major religion.
Yeah because that can’t harm anyone, unlike erotica!
Oh, and you need people to vote first to make a project eligible for funding, but that's about it.
However. You were the one offering your services out of innate human goodness, and I was the one snarking, so I don't think you need feel diminished. I reserve my right to giggle at inopportune solecisms, but there was no need for me to be petty about it. I apologise.
(Written after everything else: As for the "long-winded"... oh gawd yes. But I hope you won't hold that against me, as I haven't held it against you. Whether my objections were reasonable or not, they weren't based on word count. And I only know two ways to deal with this kind of thing: drop it, or talk about it. I guess it's obvious which I chose.)
But now we both have reasons to feel a bit defensive and snippy. How did we get to this little Internet storm-in-a-teacup?
I feel hurt because your original comment seemed more annoyed with me than I felt I'd deserved, and now because I feel my (genuine, if conditional) apology wasn't even really noticed. A rejected apology I could handle and try to fix. An unacknowledged one... that stings.
I guess you feel hurt because, from your point of view, you've been assailed by what seems to be a soullessly prolix Internet jerk with an inability to offer a straight apology.
It has taken two to make this little quarrel, with both sides escalating it through annoyance and misunderstanding. We do share the burden for that. But it's always wrong to be an Internet jerk, and there's a human being behind this keyboard who's actually, really sorry for his part in bringing us both ten minutes of stress and nastiness.
tl;dr: Sorry.
I'm kallisto
cutoff time would be. . . well, whenever the book is done!
We ARE definitely going to be making it available as an e-book, though :) Like, right off the bat. I already spoke with them about that, and they assured me they'd be able to handle it. I think most folks who buy this book will probably buy it as an e-book, which suits me just fine!
Yayyy<3 its gonna be published<3333
1. Is it possible to go beyond a "Sketch"?
2. Will you be mailing the prints (Of the book) out to the individuals who donated?
3. Can we use "Real" or "Fursona" names in the credits?
I look forward to hearing from you!
Yours Truly,
Rithnok
1. Just a sketch. . . my queue for colored work needs to remain as-is, until I knock a few more owed commissions of the list.
2. Yes!
3. Also yes!
I will DO this.
I love your writing. It's fresh, full of feeling, and lush. (I love the flowing, almost ad-lib sense it gives me, like the characters are actually having to think about what to say, what to do, how to react)
Seriously. I'm honestly a little broke atm, but I'm donating regardless. Your work warrants it.
Sincerely,
Foxy-Floof
If you might need a hand in edting and correction reading I'd love to give you a hand there if you like.
Reading stories to correct them is the perfect training for keeping my english fluently.
Just pm me.
Ah, fuck it. What life is worth living if I don't give in and splurge every once in a long while? $100 USD sent.
I'll starts shuffling donations your way

However, I'm also very much a fan of the physical object to read, a physical book makes it seem that much better, and is much easier to appreciate/keep with other favourite novels.
I'd be more than happy to help support a novelisation of your story, for the sake of possessing a real copy. My boyfriend in particular appreciates real copy novels more than digital, and to have the author signature, I'd very much aim for that. Sadly I can't get $100 for donation anytime soon, but I'd love to help donate for this.
Really been loving the story so far and very much look forward to reading future instalments, but having a physical book that I can hold in my hands definitely takes it to a whole extra level. Will get something on the way shortly.
Look forward to having the printed copy in my hands when it's done!
Also, I just love writing for Luther :)
Right now I'd probably only be able to donate like... a dollar or two. x.x But worthy cause I think! I am so loving this story, I'd love to have it in print!
Your story is excellent and deserves to exist beyond this site.
