Stephen King's new e-novel

I ponied up the $1.00 for Chapter One of King’s online novel The Plant. It was funny as hell, and looks like it’s going to be a great story. Did anyone else? Do you think “pay as you go” literature will work out?

I did too, but haven’t gotten to it yet. I’m not really a fan of his novels, have read none at all, but the movies always appeal to me.

I didn’t know that this was happening . So how’s it work ?

Are you told how many chapters are going to be in the book or do you run the risk of being dragged into a great story which will last for 50 chapters ?

Is this book/short story? available IRL or is it only available from the web ?

Personaly I like books and couldn’t see myself reading a book on a comp. ( Even though I read a hell of a lot on this site ).

Oh , and since Napster will soon be gone and we’ll all have to find new ways to break copyright law’s you don’t want to mail ch.1 to me do ya :smiley:

The disclaimer says you can give it away if you want (just don’t sell it). But whether it will be finished or not depends on a certain minimum percentage of people offering to pay. And I really want to see how this comes out! So please pay the $1.00.
P.S. The default format is .PDF (read with Adobe Acrobat Reader), but it’s also available in .html and plain Ascii. See http://www.stephenking.com

I printed it out the morning it was released and returned that evening to pay. I figured I’d’ve read at least that much in the store before figuring whether or not to buy the damn thing, it’s just that now I’m drawn in; I don’t want to have to wait untill August for the next installment!
Also, he’s been working on this for eighteen years! It’s not ready yet?

I downloaded it, payed my dollar, and now I’m wondering if it’s REALLY ony 20 pages. Did I miss something?

I’m not reading it as I go. I’m waiting to get the whole thing, then I’ll print it out, bind it, and read it as a novel. That probably makes me an idiot, but I hate reading things in chunks.

…The title page and copyright take up the first two.
