I've been working on something behind the scenes for a while. Every time I start a new story, I am slightly annoyed by the fact that there is no easy and elegant way to link the reader to previous parts, or even previous stories connected to the new one.
And once a story is finished, it vanishes into the abyss. No amount of "Master Posts" can fix this, because even those have to be dug out of the many posts I publish.
I've had people tell me that they sometimes download my stories to their Kindle or even print them out. I was happy! People liked them so much that they wanted to keep reading them!
Some suggested I publish the finished stories as ebooks, to keep earning with them. But not only would that have meant a lot of extra work (most of the stories would need to be completely re-written to work as a book) but it would also feel kind of wrong. I published these stories on Steemit, for my readers on Steemit. Yes, they're still my stories (and I'm always slightly pissed when I see that someone copied them and posted them as theirs ...) but I gave them away for you to enjoy.
Now, to make this easier I made the older stories more accessible. I still have word documents of every story I've published here, complete with markdown formatting and everything. So I took those individual files and copied the stories into a markdown editor bit by bit, chapter by chapter, downloaded that and converted it into PDFs.
These PDFs are now freely available to download and enjoy in a special google drive folder!
Now you can:
- Download the stories to put them on your e-reader or print them out to read in paper
- Re-read stories you liked
- Share with your friends and motivate them to join Steemit, as there are a lot more great authors on here
I request from you:
- That you don't miscredit my stories. If you share them, say where you got them from. I put a lot of work and heart into writing them.
- Don't publish them on your own blogs, be it Steemit or somewhere else.
- Please keep commenting on my new posts, even if it's something about an older story. Just tell me which one it's about!
That's kind of it. I'll upload new stories into this folder when the last part of them reaches payout. There might still be some typos in there, as I didn't have the time to completely go over everything again, when you check out the folder you'll notice the mass of content.
The link will also be added to my profile, to make it easier to find in the future.
I hope you'll enjoy those stories (maybe a second time) as much as I enjoyed writing them! Suesa
