Alright, as far as I can tell, self-promotion isn't banned on /lit/, so I figured I'd be upfront instead of trying that obnxious astroturfing "hey guys look what I found ;)))" shit.

For the last month and change, I've been working on an online project called Sermomancy.

https://sermomancy.com

The concept is simple: A story told in 1001 parts, of 1001 words each, posted DAILY for 1001 days.

This means a final word count of 1,002,001 - and a time to completion of 2.74 years. So this isn't a small undertaking.

Part One, which encompasses chapters 1-30, finished posting last night, and the first chapter of Part Two will post a few hours from now.

The story is complicated and multi-layered (if it wasn't, it'd be pretty boring considering its vast word count) but I'd say it broadly comes under the umbrellas of fantasy and mystery, with the overall framing device of a Victorian-adventure-story type journey.

Basically, I'm curious as to what people think of what I'm doing, and what I've written so far. So far it has little exposure beyond my immediate friends and family, and while feedback has been very positive so far, obviously it's gonna have been kinda biased by nature.

A little warning: It starts off kind of slow, in my opinion. I think the biggest weak point is the second chapter. Maybe you guys will disagree, though.
