Hiya /lit/! Aspiring author here. I just entered into some novel-length contest where they say the winner gets published. They told me to shill on leddit or twitter or facebook, but I'd thought I'd try 8chan first, because why the fuck not. I need vote

Hiya /lit/! Aspiring author here. I just entered into some novel-length contest where they say the winner gets published. They told me to shill on leddit or twitter or facebook, but I'd thought I'd try 8chan first, because why the fuck not.

I need votes to help my standing in the contest (although, supposedly, it's not all based around votes). The way it stands, I only need about 9 votes to be in the top fifteen or so.

You can read the whole damn thing too, if you'd like. But who has the time for that shit?

Anyway, the point is this, if 8chan helps my book win, I'll dedicate it to who ever or whatever 8chan wants, chosen by a strawpoll of the most popular suggestions. Personally, I'd prefer hotwheels cuz he's a personal inspiration to me.

i'm sure that the 4 solid votes hatechan's /lit/ can provide you a crushing victory.

i'm not going to vote until i 've read at least a bit though.

certainly the value of a contest whose outcome is given by how well one can shill his book to people who won't read it is a little debatable.

Sixty seven chapters?

I read the first and glanced at the second. So, one or two pagers per chapter? Novella sized? Looks doable. Before I commit to a read and vote can you tell me what the word count is, OP?

The word count is 138,00. Sorry about that. I should also mention that the beginning is the weakest part. I am very proud of the end, though.

One of my editor friends cried at the end, and I made another one of my friends who read it want to crawl up in a corner and cry in another part right before the climax.

If there is one chapter you'd like to use to judge it, please look at either chapter 26: The Ambassadors or Chapter 44: The Fall of the Senate. Those pretty much encapsulate my style and tone.

More specifically, the part of chapter 26 after Atticus leaves the dinner. The rest probably won't make sense out of context.
