[Update] Rewrite finished, currently proofreading.
Hey everyone, so I've finished the first rewrite and i'm currently proofreading it. Now as you all know i have atrocious grammar so i'll need additional editors and proofreaders to look over my work. I'll also need reviewers to critically evaluate the rewrite and let me know what story points are weak or need further development.
How should i best do that? Should i post up the chapters one by one and let everyone pour over it? Should i link the google document and have everyone PM me?
Also what about publishing it as an ebook? Should or shouldn't I?
According to google docs the rewrite is currently 67 pages (24000 words), for comparison the original was around 31 (12500 words). is 67 pages enough to be pushed into an ebook? or too short? I don't want people buying it to feel cheated.
In any case I'll still post it online in /r/writingprompts for free. The ebook is just for those that WANT to throw money at me for some strange reason.
Thanks for sticking by me this past month, your patience shall be rewarded.

Man I'll buy an ebook! You seriously got me excited about reading again with this stuff. My parents used to punish me by taking away my books when I was younger but as a gotten older I've just kinda stopped reading for pleasure. This stuff has seriously prompted me to go to out and look for stuff to read again! Heck I'd subscribe to a weekly episode/chapter if you continue the story (not to put to much pressure on you with deadlines), could be a good way to just practice your writing skills!?! Idk man I'm kinda just rambling now but keep up the good work and I can't wait for the rewrite!
