Hi everyone, I’m hoping to get some honest advice from the ABDL community. I’ve spent nearly a year writing an ABDL novel. It began as a fairly small idea, but it gradually grew into a 330,000 word (792-page) manuscript on A4 paper. Now that it’s finally finished, I’ve realised just how large it has become—and I’m unsure about the best way to share it. This is the second draft. The first draft was already long, and I began rewriting it with every intention of cutting it down considerably. Somehow, the opposite happened. As I developed the characters and gave important moments more room, the story became even longer. A large part of that came from my determination to make it a genuine slow burn. I didn’t want the main character to accept everything immediately or change completely over a few chapters. I wanted her embarrassment, uncertainty, relationships and growing acceptance of herself to develop gradually. That took far more time and space than I originally expected, but it was important to the story I wanted to tell. I haven’t posted it chapter by chapter on the forum because each chapter began taking more and more time to complete. They would have appeared at irregular intervals, and with such a long story, I worried that earlier chapters would become buried or difficult for readers to find. Now that the complete novel exists, I would genuinely like to share it. The question is how? One option would be to create a Ream account and release the story there, perhaps charging around $5 per month for access. The other would be to publish the completed ebook through Amazon for approximately $10. Ideally, I would also like to make a paperback available. That may be difficult because of the length of the manuscript and the relatively small audience for an ABDL novel. I doubt a traditional publisher would be interested, and I can’t imagine many bookshops wanting to place this kind of story on their shelves. That appears to leave me with digital publishing and possibly print-on-demand, assuming a physical edition of this size is practical. I would really appreciate your honest opinions: - Would you prefer to read a long story gradually through Ream, or purchase the complete novel from Amazon? - Does $5 per month sound reasonable for subscription access? - Would you consider paying around $10 for a complete ebook of this length? - Would having a paperback option matter to you? - Most importantly, would a detailed, character-focused ABDL slow-burn novel be something you would actually consider buying? I’m not expecting everybody to say yes. I’d genuinely prefer honest answers before deciding what to do. This project has taken an enormous amount of my time, but it has also become something I’m very proud of. Now that it’s finished, I want to find the best way to place it in front of the people most likely to appreciate it. -

I would happily pay $10 for an Amazon ebook of that length. Good luck and do pass along details when you decide how to publish. -

You should probably put this in the "writing critique" section. You should message the mods to have it moved, or they'll probably do it anyways - or you could repost this there and delete this one. -

That day will forever be etched into my mind, not that I'm unique in that sense, but, it changed the course of my life. Not in a bad way, necessarily, but it was a pivot point. I had just started school in the US, I was living much further from home than I ever had, and the events freaked my parents out so much, that I ended up coming back to Canada. However, that's a sunny day at Disneyland, compared to what many people experienced, both on that day, and, with respect to the aftermath, which continues to trail across geopolitics and culture, like the smoke from the towers trailed across that blue sky. To say nothing of the outcomes for many of the professional and civilian first responders, both psychological and physiological. Let's remember the heroes, and the victims, and the heroic victims. -
