Scryer's Gulch: Magic in the Wild, Wild West
Books: Currently "Scryer's Gulch Episodes 1-10" is available at Amazon's Kindle Store for $1, and in paperback at CreateSpace for $4.95. Makes a great gift! Smiling

Ads: You can buy an ad for your business via either ProjectWonderful.com or Blogads.com--or place ads on other sites with these banners linked to the home page. (You'll also find icons there to use at LiveJournal and other services. Please! Use them!)

Shop Amazon: You can shop Amazon using my affiliate link; just bookmark that link as your Amazon link, and everything you buy will get me a cut of Amazon's take at no cost to you.

Shop for sex toys: You can find absolutely top-notch sex toys and related naughties at the Lovers' Temple at Extreme Restraints (Issak and Allis not included, as we like to say). They have a lot of sales, and a new customer set of discounts, and I get a spiff off of everything you buy off my link. Be sure to bookmark MY link, not the store's generic link.

Swag: You can buy awesome t-shirts, in many styles and most sizes (srsly) to proclaim your allegiance to the Lovers' Temple, the Mother's Temple, the Bloody One's Temple, or the Warrior's Temple. You can even celebrate your love of subtext. If you don't find a size or style you want, let me know and I'll make it available.


Things you can do that cost nothing:

  • Tell people at LJ, at forums and on your email lists how much you like the story. Feel free to use an IHGK icon at LJ, Twitter or forums
  • Review my book at Smashwords and Amazon.
  • Put a link to the site in your signature file at forums, and list it as an interest at both LJ and on forums.
  • Re-tweet my tweets on Twitter (and follow me if you aren't already). #Followfriday me.
  • If you're a member (and you should be--it's more fun that way), refer people to the story. If they get accounts, you get points.
  • When I post on Facebook, change your status to show you're reading the History, and join my fan page.

Other ideas? Let me know!

I CAN'T WRITE WITHOUT YOUR DIRECT SUPPORT! THANK YOU!

And thanks for supporting the History!

The Intimate History books are drafts. Keep that in mind as you read. A fully edited and revised version of each book will appear beginning in 2010.

Scryer's Gulch stands and falls on its own, a true soap opera. Never look back, never revise, just make shit up to explain those plot holes away! Yeehaw!

Every time I try to log in or get my password, it does weird things like above. I don't know how else to contact anyone who might try to fix it except this way. I apologize if this is screwy and by all means you can delete this post.

Not sure what else to try?

there is a support forum

But this is fine. We can't duplicate this on log-in, but if you're getting this error attempting to get a new password or a new account, it's left over from our server move. We're having trouble sorting out the mail server and we've been at this for two days straight with breaks for food, peeing and sleep not necessarily in that order. In short, we're fried. Watch for change tomorrow.

If we really really really want chapters...

but can't afford to subscribe, and don't really want to watch the feed, could we have a "subscribe" button that will allow us to automatically contribute, up to a set amount, to get an extra chapter? Like if you have $48 in the queue, and I'm willing to kick in up to $5/week, but hope to only do so once/month or something, can I get $2 of that to go towards a chapter at the last minute? Especially if lots of people sign up to do that, the remainder could be divided among those of us who have clicked that button instead of the subscribe button. It might make your income more regular, and it would help those of us who want to contribute (but want extra chapters also) make our contributions count. Thanks!

boy

I really don't even have the faintest idea how to even approach that programming puzzle! If you're willing to kick in up to $5 a week once a month, why not just do the $1 a week or $5 a month subscriptions? I'll even set up a $1 a month subscription if that's a help! Thanks for even thinking about it, seriously.

art overages

I'm currrrrrrious....

I've noticed the last couple of weeks that there has been monies in the "overages for art" section, but it hasn't reached $50. Since that doesn't roll over into the next week for a bonus (right? I may just be completely confused)...is it sitting somewhere until the overages have reached $50? If so, is there a way to show how much there is waiting to be applied (maybe in parentheses...which I seem to be inordinately fond of)? Or maybe I'm the only person curious about this stuff. Or maybe you just want to keep us in the dark for your own nefarious reasons.... Sticking out tongue

I'm not being all "B*** where my money at!" Smiling I really am curious. Oh, and I love the idea of commissioning art of your characters. Too cool.

*blush*

You know, you're right. The overages should roll over in the art overages. Starting this week they will. Sorry, folks, I wasn't trying to defraud anyone or nothin'.

Hey, I wanted to let you

Hey, I wanted to let you know that I just subscribed at $1 a week (it's seriously the upper end of what I can afford... I make a pittance, and I'm lucky to be employed at all!) and I wanted to ask, how do I get that associated with my account here to earn points? I forgot to log in here before I hit the "subscribe" button...

Thanks!

I do it by hand

You're already up a point and will be every week. Thank you so very much! Smiling

ETA: NEVER apologize for the amount of support you can give me! A dollar a month, or a dollar a week, it's all to the good. Every dollar helps, and knowing people care enough to give me the cost of a third of a mocha or a half a pint of beer once a month is terrific--seriously.

Can you help me...

ETA: Just kidding, I found it under "My Account".

You need to update this page

You need to update this page to include Harla and The Mother's Temple in the following:

"You can buy awesome t-shirts to proclaim your allegiance to the Lovers' Temple, or the Warrior's Temple. You can even celebrate your love of subtext."

The Lovers Temple?

Did you end the Extreme Restraints affiliate store? I can't find the link here.

It's still there

...but I didn't think anyone was using it. I'll put it back up. It really is a good store with a wide selection of stuff.

Thank you!

I'll do the smart thing this time and bookmark the (your!) link. I'm still working up the courage to actually make a purchase. School starts in a month, I can buy something then when my parents are too far away to ask questions...
