I rock...

Pat on the back time. I finished The Beast Dines Out. Uploaded the last chapter just a little while ago. It's 84,000 words. If I combine the first part of the story with this...the part that set everything up...it's just under 99,000. That's a fucking novel...with a lot of fucking in it.

But here's the thing...I didn't cop out at the end and make it all a dream or Dirc's fantasy as he's dying from being shot in the back by a policeman. I left it as reality, in the story, and he and Irin have built a thriving business with the US Government. They're actually contractors, providing pure iridium rocks in exchange for men to be used as sustenance for an extraterrestrial's intergalactic restaurant.

The liveliest, most obnoxious part was adding in a tip Dirc got for supplying a particularly succulent male for a certain group of aliens to feed upon. Nearly $5,000,000 in gold bars. Which he achieves a couple more times.

I mean, seriously, this story is way off the deep end...but I just let it go. And I don't mind it being available for free on GayDemon. Of course, on that site you have to read it by chapter, of which there are 32 in this part.

I guess I could make a single file of it for ebook. Considering the amount of mm sex in it, I know Ingram Spark won't go for making it a paperback, nor will D2D. They all got scrunchy on Carli's Kills, and that was heterosexual with only a few instances of actual fucking. As for KDP? Fuck that.

Still, I'm happy. I'm proud of myself for sticking with it, to the end. And for having an HEA for two men who are really vicious beasts. 

Hmmmmmmmm...this give me an idea. Maybe I'll have the harpies tell the opening of Darian's Point...

Oooohhhhh...the first chapter...told from their POV...ooooohhhhhh...
