Megaman has just passed the story publication back to me, and given me an amazing tool to work with to convert and publish them. We have 225 story items in the production queue. In real terms that works out as 31 sets of five items, to be released at 3 sets per week, and another 25 sets requiring one more item each to be ready to roll, and then the long tail which will get filled as we go. I already have a candidate for the first several of the 25 sets, but I am waiting for an email back from the author - I can't work out his chapter breaks!

225 sounds like a lot, but what it does is moves us comfortably into 2015. It's only 15 weeks. And that brings us back to just a smidgen over our 3 month lag that we had and tried to maintain.

In this schedule we have some amazing new authors and some old favourites. Some stories will cuddle you, some surprise you, and some will challenge you. And we want some more good authors and stories to bring you.
