Calling all Sophie from Shinola writers!

If you were part of Sophie from Shinola you’re gonna love what I have in store for you. As promised I started work on compiling all parts of the story into one document, tweaked it with some desktop publishing wizardry and viola! You’ve got Sophie from Shinola - the compiled edition. A must have for die hard Sophie fans everywhere!

It came out quite nicely; I am especially pleased with the front cover. You can download it using the “Free E-book” button in the sidebar (it’s a 1.16 MB pdf file). Consider this as a gift from your beloved Lord Farthum. I expect daily doses of homage in return. The e-book should also prove entertaining to non-participants as well. Enjoy!

UPDATE: Now the e-book contains all installments and four possible endings. I redid my "desktop" note and threw in an ending as well, be sure to check it out. On a more technical note the pdf is now 1.3 MBs plus anyone linking to the file does NOT have to make changes to the html. It'll work as is.

First of all, I've been promised the final installments, so we're really not quite done yet.

Second, I'm not finding the link to the document you made.

Three...Kewl.

I found the big red button that Nathan couldn't see, but i am reserving my right to click on it until all of the story is written.

But I do second Nathan's ...KEWL!!!!

OK, now I found it. I love everything about it Saqib. Cover art, layout, EVERYTHING! Thanks.

And I am going to push our final writers.

Okay sure just let me know when the final post is up and I'll be sure to include it.

Glad everyone liked it!

Ok...nevermind. I caved and pushed the button. Saqib you are awesome!

I love the cover art...and my art director husband agrees with me..and that RARELY happens....so you know you "done good!"

Only thing I'm missing:

What is Team NCI? Should I know what that stands for? Am I an idiot?

That looks awesome! You've done a super job pulling it together. :)

Great job!

NCI is a acronym made up by Tom. I thought it would sound cool if I put team in front of it.

High praise from an art director? wowee!

Nathan said...

Ahhhh! I knew I'd heard it someplace before. Yeah, it's fitting and I'm honored.

Nathan said...

Not to be ungrateful, but I call foul.

Why did Part 17 get "edited due to strong language" instead of the ^^#$^^&@& treatment? I'm not sure it even makes any sense without MaryAnne's contribution.

In my opinion one scene was explicit while the other one you wrote was pg-13 so I let it slide.

Editing aside (cheek!), great job, Saqib! Thanks very much for your efforts.
