Star Trek: Odyssey of Bondage... UPDATE

OK, I'm just taking a few minutes, here, in the middle of writing Episode Five, Part One...
(yes, Episode Five will be too long to be one part, so it's a two-parter...)

I wanted to update you on how it's going, so far, for any of you who are interested:

Story Progress

At this point, I have, as I have said, more than five seasons outlined. Each season is 25 episodes and, of course, some of those episodes are multi-part, so... it's a big story. When you consider that each episode is averaging, what... 20 pages or so?
We're talking about a project larger than some novel series'.
At the time of this writing, Episodes 0-4 are posted... Episode 5 is in the works... Episode 6 is partly done and has renders already done for it... Episode 8 is partly done and has several renders done for it... Episode 14 is partly done and has a render done... Episode 19 is partly done... and Episode 23 is about half done.
In addition, Season TWO, Episode 2 is partly done and I'm starting to get some more of the details in place for Episodes 13 and 21.
AND SEASON THREE, Episode 11 is partly done!

Editing

I have had to go back and edit each and every one of them because I made a spelling error in the credits.
's character's name is Runhaad-Pilf, NOT Ruunhad-Pilf. I juxtaposed the double vowel in the credits on the first few episodes, and so, I went back in and corrected them.
Also, in my rush to get through Episode 4 and get it posted, I missed a rather important detail... if you can call a GIRL a detail... and had to go back and edit it to fix the issue It's now a page longer, has a little more dialogue... and I hope you enjoy.
On that note... I WILL occasionally edit the episodes, if there's something that needs adding. I am a stickler for presentation, if you've never noticed how I space the words and make sure that titles and images go in the 'right place' in each one. That's why I added an entire page to Episode 4 - I didn't want to mess up the spacing.
That being said, if someone wants to do artwork for an existing Episode, I WILL edit it in and credit you for it (as long as it's up to quality... obviously... lest I get someone who doesn't like me submitting a stick-figure drawing to try to make me look bad... lol) and - if this alters the spacing, I may create a little more material to get the proper format back.
For instance, if someone did a render of the 'cleaning apparatus' aboard Runhaad-Pilf's ship... cleaning the slaves... I'd likely write more material for the scene so the spacing doesn't get messed up.
Along similar lines... if you have ever collaborated with me, you know that I often take details you put in your renders or other images... that perhaps weren't in the original text... and add them to the story.
I shall TRY to notify you all when I do an edit... if even just by status message.
That reminds me... I'd better go do that...

Participation

As of right now:
Two dA members have made artwork for the purpose of illustration.
Two other dA members have given permission to use existing artwork of theirs for illustration.
Seventy Five PLUS have signed up to be characters in the series... and that's just here, on dA... nearly that many from outside have also signed aboard.

Reception

Episode 0: Prologue - 10 favorites
Episode 1; Part 1     - 06 favorites
Episode 1; Part 2     - 06 favorites
Episode 2:               - 07 favorites
Episode 3:               - 07 favorites
Episode 4:               - 06 favorites

So, none of them are, at this time, in danger of breaking my record for favorites (Halloween Humiliation with 47)
In fact, none of them are even threatening to break into the Top Five:
(Draco Malfoy and the Mud Blood Boy Toy: 36)
(Star Wars: Bonds of the Empire, Episode 1, Part 1: 27)
(Brooke's Bet 2: 25)
(Trouble in the Huma System: 24)

Would I LIKE to see this series eclipse my other ones? Sure. I'm writing it... doing the work... so, of course, I'd love to see it get popular. I also understand that not everyone 'favorites' something that they have read... or even read and liked.
The PRIMER got 392 views, so far. That's not too bad...
In the past 6 months, which has been entirely this series, for me...  between promos and story and reference material...
There have been 146 views per deviation, and 18 deviation views per day.
That's not terrible. I think if I had 18, total... I'd just quit writing the series... but there do seem to be people reading it. It's just... slow.

So, if you ARE one of those READING it... spread the word. Maybe these stats will improve and one day this series WILL be in the Top 5 on my page.

OK, I HAVE to get back to writing... if I am to pull off what I am trying to do...

Cheers!
And thanks for reading!
