Can I ask y'all something?

I’m nearing completion of my second year’s worth of doing instant stories. I’m “looking forward” to another spate of wrist-crippling editing so I can get 366 [it’s a leap year of instants, this time] stories collated, corrected, indexed and ready to rock and roll, come early 2015.

The thing is… I’m not sure if it’s worth it.

One Year of Instants has had seventy-four downloads. Seventy four.

Of those, eight people bought the whole thing.

Of those, three people decided that a year of my life was actually worth some money.

So I need to know some stuff.

  • Is it the cover?

  • Is it the sample size?

  • Is it the quality of the work?

  • Is it the fact that you can still view all of these stories for free if you dig far enough back into my archives?

  • What the flakk is wrong with this anthology?

Please let me know, as I would like to actually make a living selling this stuff. What do I need to do to make this better?

I need to learn for next time. Please help.

Challenge #00661 - A296: Strange Encounters

Pre-Amity, a human and other cogniscient get stuck in some relatively small space together, say a room that both find out the hard way only opens from the outside. Rescue is on its way, but until then…

They tell some pretty wild tales in Scavenger Bars. This is just one of them…

Hor'tik had been stripping wire. It had been a long trip already and it was that or mass credit. If he stayed out any longer, he’d have

These are eight cells of a 64-cell page I made. All of those bitly links lead to one of the stories I have on Smashwords for free.

Those stories are:

I printed five pages, and trimmed them into four-cell strips along the rows, and now have them in a little nest in case of haloweenies who can’t have sugar.

And if they can’t read, either,

Not necessarily needing to go Night Vale on this one...

To truly understand, you must look inside yourself, look deep into your heart… no, no, you’re too far down, that’s your liver, try a bit more up and to the left… ah, there you go.

“You’re transparent to my eyes.”

“Eugh… Sorry. Uhm… We find our internals to be

OK I'm a bit ticked off...

Mayhem’s school is supposed to have this rule where if the temperature hits forty degrees, celcius, they send the kids home because it’s too blippin’ hot.

It was 39 degrees when I arrived at two in the afternoon.

Which meant that it had to be hotter in the middle of the day.

Mayhem’s classroom is an oven at the best of times, and today definitely qualified as the worst of them, what with the blast-furnace

Challenge #00659 - A294: Warning - Humour

Breaking bones is a death sentence for other cogniscients, so how unlikely is it that anyone has encountered someone missing a digit or limb, unless they were born missing it?

Jokes using one’s prosthetics (probably more advanced in the group that lives long enough to need them) optional.

[AN: Some species are more fragile than others. Havenworlders are particularly delicate. And it’s notably the Birds for whom broken bones are fatal]

The cogniscent trapped with her in the stalled

Challenge #00658 - A293: Politically Correct

“I wouldn’t say *we’ve* made that much progress. Our euphemisms have, though.”

“It’s ‘Avian Catastrophan’.”

“No, it’s simply Avian. Or Avian Citizen.”

“But some of them aren’t citizens. They still have resident status in Kal'rike.”

“Only because Kal'rike’s run by the most anal bureaucrats since time began…”

“Ladies,” said the Numidid of contention. “I am fine
