      Not a gamer, but do tend to enjoy spin-off efforts. The Firefly books are ok. The Stargate series enjoyed a lot of spin off books.

      Cool that Ubisoft recognizes the value!

        I don’t think there’s a “standard.”

        Mine run on the shorter side, 55-60k. Other indies, put out 100k. If it’s good, people will like it and buy it.

              I alternate between the two but if Scrivener seems too daunting or just not interested, DabbleWriter is awesome.

              DabbleWriter
              Web based, mobile friendly. Has a fantastic plotlining feature that I use even when the writing is in Scrivener.

                Like most, I use scrivener. I keep several WIP open as tabs and one is the bible for the universe I’m working on.

                I tend to break it down into
                places
                people
                things
                species
                other

                I too tend to discover things as I go, so as I do I’ll hop into that entry and add the new detail with an annotation of which book that piece of information was revealed.
