your own feed! This works the same as the free feed: you get a page a day,
Monday to Friday, via email or RSS. The differences are:
You get the whole story. (The free feed stops at page 43.)
You can pause, rewind, and restart your feed from any available page number.
You get a Machine Man subscriber icon next to your name when you post comments on this site, so everyone knows how rockin' you are.

More Information
Have you finished writing this story yet?
No! All the information from the FAQ still applies.
How long will it be?
At least 120 pages. I don't know for sure yet. If I had to guess, I'd say 200 pages. But if I had to guarantee a minimum for someone about to pay money, I'd say, "at least 120 pages."
Update (September 2009)! I'm now at p140. My latest guess is we'll finish up around 160-180 pages.
Update 2 (November 2009)! Make that 180-200 pages.
Can I skip ahead to pages you haven't written yet?
Unfortunately, no. When I tried to add that option, the universe began sucking itself into a self-immolating vortex. So I took it out.
What happens when the story finishes?
You still own your feed: you can reset it back to the beginning for another read. You can do this as many times as you want. You can give it a friend. You can just leave it on pause. It won't stop working.
Can I share it with other people?
Yes, within reason. I don't mind if you and your life partner simultaneously use a single feed. Or if you read it, then when you're finished, you rewind it and put in someone else's email address, for them to read. I would mind if you made the story available to the whole world, though, like posting it on your web site.
Will it work forever?
If, years in the future, it becomes impractical to continue deliver Machine Man this way, I'll give purchasers access to download the entire book in an open, unprotected format. One way or another, it's yours to keep forever.
