Mortal Coil Completed · 10:05am Oct 3rd, 2015
I'm done... I'm finally done... after months of writing the story is now completely complete, every chapter is written and uploaded to the site, just waiting for me to hit publish. So as I previously promised (/threatened) I will now start publishing chapters three times a week, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and hopefully this will all be done and dusted before winter.
I did once say I would do blog posts talking about what inspired certain aspects of the story (i.e. the city of Cragsburg is based off Windhelm from Skyrim) but there would just be so much and I'd almost certainly forget loads of stuff, so I'll just not bother unless someone asks me specifically about a particular thing.
As for how long the story ended up being, chapter count is eighty numbered and the prologue and epilogue seperate, word count is roughly 450,000 although this site will make it look much higher as it counts words broken up by apostrophes as two separate words. So because of the length, I know it can act as a wall to new readers who feel overwhelmed when they see it's already over 100,000 words long and subsequently decide to not read it, so if you're one of the few people who are actually reading it and thinking it's worth people taking the time read (a rather slim venn-diagram I would imagine), then please try to encourage others to start reading it now before it gets much longer.
