Hear ye! Hear ye!
The premiere issue of LegendFire's Compendium has been published! It is available for download at Smashwords, at this link: COMPENDIUM 2021
The download is free, and if I did my job right, it can be read on any e-reading device or desktop.
A huge thanks to ScintillaMyntan for helping me get the formatting going. And to FoxxGlove , doublejay9 , @tglassy , labrat , Bird , Alatariel , pelwrath , and Caulder Melhaire for contributing material for this first-ever issue! This couldn't have happened without any of you. The Compendium may be an unknown publication, but now you're all published authors! 
NEXT STEPS:
Now for us to practice our marketing skills. This doesn't have to be extensive or exhausting, and it's not a job just for the authors included in the Compendium. I hope every Legendfirian will take pride in this publication, humble as it is, and do their part. Just get talking and posting. Share the link with loved ones. Give them pdf printouts. Whatever you want. Social media. Facebook, blogs, Instagram, wherever you're active, post a cover picture and a link to the download page. Easy-peasy.
To that end, I have some advert banners (with download buttons) all ready to go. These work best on websites or blogs that have widget add-ons. There are five different sizes/orientations, but I'll share just two here. If you need a different size, please reference the size chart below and let me know which you want. Long and Skinny: 160x600 (If the description is too long and messes up the download button, just delete the description from the code. I had to do this for the button to be seen.) <div class="smashwords-widget" data-type="single" data-items="book:1106545" data-font="sans" data-ribboncolor="#50d2de" data-bgcolor="#fafafa" data-buttoncolor="#ffc801" data-width="160" data-height="600" data-headline="The Compendium: LegendFire’s Annual Anthology, 2021, Rising From Ruin: Between Misadventures" data-body="In the premiere issue of LegendFire Critique Community’s Compendium, journey through caves inhabited by ravenous darkness, flee the burning rays of a demon sun, tumble headlong through turbulent seas and accidental misadventures in true-to-life confessions, and much more." style="width: 160px; height: 600px;"></div>
<script id="smashwords-widget-js" async="async" src="//www.smashwidgets.com/1/widgets.js"></script> Broad, Medium: 300x250<div class="smashwords-widget" data-type="single" data-items="book:1106545" data-font="sans" data-ribboncolor="#50d2de" data-bgcolor="#fafafa" data-buttoncolor="#ffc801" data-width="300" data-height="250" data-headline="The Compendium: LegendFire’s Annual Anthology, 2021, Rising From Ruin: Between Misadventures" style="width: 300px; height: 250px;"></div>
<script id="smashwords-widget-js" async="async" src="//www.smashwidgets.com/1/widgets.js"></script>Other sizes available:180x150 300x600 550x480 To see what the 160x600 banner looks like, visit Raven Eye Press. ALTERNATIVELY, you may save the cover image to your computer and post it with the link to the download page, as seen on LF's Facebook page: Download Link: www.smashwords.com/books/view/1106545
Putting the Compendium together was a joy, start to finish. I loved every step of the process, and I cannot wait to see what you all write in the coming year. Thank you for making LegendFire awesome!

Now, all the business aside, it's time to celebrate! On September 30, LF will celebrate its 1-yr reboot birthday! You all made the community's return a great success, and you have my undying gratitude for playing along with my hairbrained scheme to bring it all back. Now, if you will proceed to the floating ballroom, we have champagne and unicorn rides, music and dancing in the rainbow fountain to celebrate both LF's birthday and the Compendium's release.   |
