At the last minute, I'm in! Gotta do something to get out of this no-writing post-dissertation funk. :p

I'm impressed! This is better than most self-made covers I have seen--I can't tell it wasn't done with a professional's input. As long as you have the rights to use all the assets involved, I would so go ahead and use it!

What everyone else said already is wonderful. I want to add that you shouldn't feel too much pressure to world-build or be original about it. Some authors go all out with it, but for others it just comes as they explore their characters or stories. And while people like to credit the Great...

For the wiki suggestion, I recommend WikidPad. It's open source and free. I had to read a few tutorials online and do a little playing before I figured it out (and make a cheat sheet of formatting commands for myself) but it's pretty easy to use once you learn the interface, and generates pages...

Sometimes I get self-conscious because a lot of my fantasy doesn't really have magic and stuff, and I certainly don't have elves and dwarves integrated with people (if they exist in the world I'm writing at all). I love a good escapist tale with lots of supernatural stuff going on, but I also...

My experience with Amazon's Create Space print-on-demand platform ...was pretty good, actually. I was kind of wishing I had a good testimonial before I started the process of helping my mom through getting her book self-published via Create-Space, but I had trouble (in a hurry, we were on a...

Well, there's always a possibility for a follow-up, Banten. After all, once I get a Real Job (tm) I'll be expected to keep producing research. :) But yes, the study is complete and I've posted some findings elsewhere on these forums. And if I can get back in the groove of writing fiction after...

No need to apologize, Caged Maiden. I'm loving this!

I don't know about anyone else, but I think that spider is BEAUTIFUL. Probably a very helpful critter to have around. :)

As a US reader, I'll confirm that Mort and Reaper Man are different books (I read Reaper Man before I got my hands on Mort--I read out of order :) ) As for where to start, I have to know a person's interests to know where to direct them. There's something for everyone *somewhere* in the series...

Thank you for the support guys. Yeah, the images didn't work as well as I'd hoped, but I need to post more to use the gallery (working on it! Been reading around, getting my bearings back). But they do open with a double or right click. I'll fix it soon. As for publishing, all dissertations at...
