We don't got none of that over here in Canada.

These guys ain't even supposed to have anything above a hunting riffle in the first place and even then they can't just walk around with it.

Yeah closest thing we've got to a Texas over here is Alberta: home of fake cowboys, lies about being rat free and now attempts to stop being part of the country.

Ow. I went out to get a chai (there was a Black Friday sale on the coffee shop’s “get a drink from this list every two hours” monthly subscription, so I got a month of it because even if I’m not comfortable sitting in it’s at least motivation to take a daily walk) and within like… a minute or two of getting outside, one side of the back of my neck turned to stone.

No idea what I did to set it off, but fuuuck it hurts.

Also, Galatea is an utter poop publishing platform. Annual subscription is almost $60, buying individual chapters of books is 10 “points” per chapter, and points are… not cheap. They do have a discounted “buy the whole book” rate that would almost get you two books for $25 (provided all books are the same price, which I don’t know whether they are). Yes, it’s 100 chapters, but they’re not long chapters. Like, $12.50 is more than a big publisher mass market paperback and more than half the price of an indie/self published paperback. For an ebook that can only be read in their app.

Without paying, I have to wait 6 hours between chapters, with the countdown far as I can tell starting when I hit “next chapter,” not when I load the latest unlocked chapter.

I can’t find numbers on what they pay their authors, but according to this interview and other bits and pieces I can find, they’re not exactly sounding like a gift from the Muses. Just the fact that they seem to actively keep work out of other sales channels than their app is shady as hell.

Like, if there was a paperback version of this book I’d consider putting it on my wishlist. (Maybe. There’s some editing WTFs going on here and there, including the story referring back to bits that were cut.) If I was more of an ebook person I’d maybe toss a few dollars at that. But these prices? Nope.

I guess I just have to put up with this book taking like… a literal month to read. And then second verse same as the first with its sequel(s).

Oh no, I agree, that would suck, but I also have a healthy scepticism of anything online, nor do I take anything online too seriously, that's what reality's for :(

I dabble with writing but I haven’t really finished anything in ages. Husband writes and has actually had a couple of stories published.

I’m mostly bitching about Galatea as a reader, though from what I can find they’re not all that writer-friendly, either. Don’t begrudge authors pay for their work, but everything I can find suggests they’re not getting a great deal, either.

You should get back into it. For muttcat. And also so I have something new, different, and interesting to read.
