OOC: How To Fuel Sythyry's Vacation

[sythyry]

I write and post Sythyry's Vacation because I know that people read it and enjoy it. The more fuel I get for it, the more I'll write. So here's what I want for fuel, with the most important things up top. If you do any of these things, you are encouraging me to write more.

1. Feedback! Comments to me, on LJ or personal email or chat or whatever. Notes to Sythyry, which zie sometimes answers and occasionally (rarely!) even understands properly. Notes to other characters if you like. Suggestions to me of things you'd like to see. Cheers for things you're glad you saw, or even complaints about things you weren't glad you saw. Feedback is what keeps me writing day by day, so it's definitely at the top of the list.
2. More readers! If you think that Yorgo the Approximately Glorious would like Sythyry's Vacation, tell zir about it. Sythyry's Vacation will be relatively self-contained, so Yorgo can start reading about now and have relatively little to catch up on ... and there'll be more introductory material in the next while.
3. Buy our other stuff! There's the World Tree RPG sourcebook, and there's A Marriage of Insects. If you like Sythyry, you'll probably like those, too.
4. Reviews on SF and RPG sites! Honest ones, and I do hope that means they're pretty good, but definitely honest.
5. Link me on your blog or website!
6. Artwork! I keep the art page up to date, even, and people will view and admire your artwork.
7. Donate! This is cyber-funded creativity, I suppose. I'm not particularly trying to make money off of it, but I do accept tips and will probably do something nice for you (like a cameo) if you give me one.
   
8. Answer the polls and such! I enjoy watching answers show up, and getting surprised at the collective opinion.
9. Send us other creative or fun stuff!

And if you don't do any of that ... please keep reading Sythyry anyways. That's what it's for. And as long as enough people are reading, and I know it, I'll keep writing.

Enjoy!

Would it be annoyingly out-of-context to address one of the other characters in a comment on Sythyry's journal?

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

Make it clear who you're writing to ("Bard, this is for Vae"), and I will see to it that the note goes to the right person!

Done!

I have linked to this from "The Wordsmith's Forge" and "Hypatia's Hoard of Reviews," plus added it to the Links in cyberfund_creat.

Oh, thank you very much! I greatly appreciate it!

[shaddragon.livejournal.com]

I'm not much for commenting, but you're on my mandatory-reading list. Always a pleasure to see a new post up.

The distrust of the PayPal is upon me! Is there a mailing address?

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

There is one; I have emailed it to your LJ email address. I hope.
And thank you!

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

Your LJ address doesn't seem to work. Got another one?

[xolo.livejournal.com]

Try musteline@gmail.com. LJ just sort of put that address on my informational page, but if there were ever any directions about how to access the mail, I never found 'em.

I'll put up a reference to your journal on mine. Something you might try is to put up a very post-dated entry, or a profile note, linking to where new readers should start. Maybe here?

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

The note on my profile isn't adequate?

A postdated entry would be a good idea, truly. I will do that at some point.

[kris-schnee.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay. Missed that.

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

Though starting with the Strayway rather than Vae would be good. I've rearranged the collected SV that way.

Thanks for the suggestions!
