Where do books go?
2 years ago
Not sure if anyone cares, but I'm a few thousand words into what's going to end up being a pretty long story. It's sort of off-brand, not crazy or extreme like my other stuff, but actually SFW for once. It's still mainly a furry story, which is why I'm posting about it here, but I wanted to try my hand at serious, character-driven drama and action instead of just moving from one fetish scene to the next. Here's a quick teaser I came up with on the fly:
-
Mozza was a simple dog of low birth. He didn't think himself different or special. He wanted the same thing as all his beastman brethren: to become powerful, to fight for his people, and to die an honorable death on the battlefield. It was a message he had been taught since birth, but alas, he was the runt of the litter and was denied his destiny.
And so he turned to his other passion: Alchemy. A discipline that required an entirely different kind of strength, and so was shunned by the common beast. With no one willing to help him, he is forced to leave his home and embrace the outside world, but by the time Mozza returns, would he still pledge his fealty to the kingdom that hated him the most?
-
It's been sort of tricky to write, since the world is based off of this write-up here, which comes from another story of mine that is extremely heavy on hyper. Keeping it clean is the easy part, it's the people themselves that are hard (pun not intentional). For instance, the protagonist here starts in an area where everyone is huge except him. Therefore, I find myself trying to talk intelligently about muscular characters without making it clear just how big they actually are, since that's not where the focus is supposed to be.
Anyway, the real point of this journal is if this does become a book, and I actually finish writing it... I have no idea what to do with it. I would probably try and publish it if the base material were cleaner (I like keeping my furry stuff separate from the rest of my life), but barring that I was just going to post it in a regular old PDF like everything else. Does anyone have any other ideas?
Is there a place where people usually put really long strings of words, sometimes separated by chapters and probably bound together some way so they're separated from other word-strings?

Archive Of Our Own (or AO3) is a popular site dedicated to stories, mostly fanfiction but original too. You could crosspost it there.
Not sure about using a site meant for fanfiction, but it's probably better than letting it rot here. Appreciate it!
