It dosen't have to be fancy or anything, as long as you have these fabulous stories there, it'll be perfect. Who knows? Perhaps people will be motivated to donate.

Thanks  

Actually, I was more referring to hardware costs before I hosted anything... if I really wanted a permanent hosting method, I would build a server and literally host my own stuff. Although this isn't ridiculous, I don't think my current budget would cover it, especially considering I have college coming up next year.

Please come back?  

[AlanL]

Ok, I backed it up... and did a little bit of sizing things up... wow.

Statistics on the back-up file for this story, just separators and the story posts (but without the comments on the top and bottom of the updates edited out):

1,696 Kb

428 Pages

297,848 Words

1,433,747 Characters (no spaces)

1,730,330 Characters (with spaces)

1,814 Paragraphs (this is a gross overestimate)

24,340 Lines (If only I could write computer programs that long and have it work)

Though the comments that weren't edited out did inflate those figures... I guess I really did write a book.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.

[Impending Doom]

Wow, I'm shocked. That's longer than some novels! You, Alan, are amazing.

Now you've motivated me to dig out my old stories and start writing again...

Nothing NEAR as good as yours, of course.

[AlanL]

Thanks  

I actually never expected it to get that long... in fact, I never expected I would ever write something that long. Thanks again to you all for being so supportive through it.

All hail AlanL!!!
I just finished reading this story, and it is totally ultimately epic.  I read it way after the fact it seemed.   But jesus... 468 pages?  You could make it into an E-book or a wiki-book on the wiki.  This story is awesome.   Next I need to start reading Questionable Ethics (If that is the next story.) I hope it is Kazo's story after the fact, you know, passed Fale, Blitukus and the Cat's Ascension to Godhood.   Also, I'd love to read a story about that Goblin Ex-Merc/now Freelance Pilot during the Second Demon Wars in 2000+ ... this universe you created from DF was awesome, and 2066 would also be a great setting for a Cyberpunk-ish gaming setting!

[AlanL]

Thank you  

Yes, Questionable Ethics is the next one. I never thought of a story involving that freelance pilot. Definitely an idea, thanks for it

I hate to be a thread necromancer, but is it just me or are some posts missing? I swear there's gaps in the story. The original AKQ, too...
