Should I do a final (30 STEEM) beta-reading contest/lottery for "Ragnarok Conspiracy" ?

@pibara · 2018-03-06 08:31 · contest

The epilogue to Ragnarok Conspiracy has been a bit of a pain to write, and is taken way longer than any of my other chapters to write, but if things go well, this final chapter should be ready soon, finishing the draft of my first novel.

My novel is divided into five main parts of approximately 8 chapters each, some a few chapters more, some a few chapters less, and up until part four I've been running beta reading contests:

As I had only one contestant for most of the chapters of the part four lottery, I got a bit disillusioned and thought running the fifth and final beta reading lottery would be pointless. I'm reconsidering now though after my last two chapters did really well I'm hoping some new readers might be interested in competing this time. My question to you. If I ran another beta-reading contest, for part five, the final part of my novel, consisting of ten regular chapters, one extra long chapter, and an epilogue, would you compete? If at least five people commit to competing in my beta reading contest, I'll be running it after posting my epilogue.

Index

1) Perseus-Pisces 2) Holocene Past 3) Jötnar 4) Flushed 5) G-Foil 6) New Allies 7) Old Enemies 8) Whack-a-mole 9) Antifragile 10) Sisters (extra long chapter) 11) Aesir 12) Cold Start (epilogue)

Prospect prizes

If I'll run this final beta reading lottery, the total prize money will be 30 STEEM divided as follows:

  • Eleven 1.5 STEEM prizes. One for each of the chapters 1 .. 9, 11 and 12
  • One 3.5 STEEM prize for the extra long chapter 10
  • One 10.0 STEEM prize for part five of Ragnarok Conspiracy as a whole.

Finally, if I'll run this lottery, there will be one more prize. A prize however where contestants from the previous four beta reading lotteries will compete for as well:

  • A prize consisting of 500 SP, delegated for six weeks, for the book as a whole.This price will go to the suggestion that I would consider hardest to find. Especially suggestions pointing out cross-chapter internal inconsistencies should have the biggest chance of winning this prize.

Would you commit to competing in this beta reading lottery?

Please comment on this post if you can commit to competing in this beta reading competition/lottery if I'll end up running it. If at least five people commit to competing before march 13th, I'll run the competition.
