Question if anyone's interested:

If anyone has access to a digital copy of Rise of the School for Good and Evil that they are able to copy and paste from, could you do me a favor and paste the complete text into an online text concordance analyzer?

I'm really just curious to know what the primary words used are or if it's possible to track the order and frequency of thematic words like "love" or "prophecy" throughout the different sections of the book. It would be like: Rise: At a Glance.

Wow, look what Christmas presents came late? These right here! They are from 1989. I'm so sick right now I haven't read them yet. Reading is difficult when the room spins whenever you move. I hope there are some good bts tidbits in these.

Full Draft of Chapter 3!

Oh thank god! A complete first draft of Chapter 3 of Concordance at long last! The writer’s block (and the week-long dental crisis) was insane! Having to introduce the love interest, the villain, and a new location all in the same goddamn chapter pretty much broke my brain. #neveragain

It’s gonna need so much editing, so look for it to post next weekend. At last a full draft I can work with! Yessssssss!

Letter: Gold-Stone Concordance

(Included with delivery: The Congratulations Letter, the Rules and Benefits, and a mustard-colored stone.)

Good day; for all of us those reading this we truly understand that time comes at the cost of gold therefore I shall be brief.

Congratulations, we of the Harboson Company have decided to accept you and your organization within the Trade League henceforth known to yourselves and the whole of Azeroth as the Gold-Stone Concordance (GSC). Together we will not only grow our wealth and holdings through fair, legal, and mutual understandings of business - but we will also benefit those within our cities, those toiling on the farms, and those bleeding on the frontlines.

Together we will bring normality to the world, as literal hellfire rains down from the sky.

Each of you will be entitled “Mercari” Forming from the old-tongue of the elder nation of Strom to mean ‘to trade’; as allies and friends I expect each of you to wear this title with pride and raise the title to notoriety within our respective societies.

Business will officially begin soon; we will strikeout to make a name for ourselves within this world and not only gather gold but glory and honor. Please, take this included gem - it is a tool of long distance communication and is to be used exclusively by those within the Trade League.

Once again, congratulations Mercari of the Gold-Stone Concordance.

(Rules)

Members of the Gold-Stone Concordance(GSC) have many benefits from their membership; however there are a few rules and expectations in order to maintain membership.

1. Each member will pay a monthly, flat rate to the Harboson Company. This monthly payment will in turn be used to expand the GSC; such as purchasing newspaper ads, paying mercenaries, paying rent on storage, etc.

2. Each member will be expected to offer legal documents pertaining to their resources to ensure all goods are obtained via legal means. All activities should remain legal and ethical for the good of the GSC reputation, and for the respective territories.

3. No member is allowed to embargo, or otherwise actively attempt to disrupt and harm another member of the GSC; the Trade League is designed to let all flourish.

4. In case of extreme measures, and with a majority vote, all members will be expected to participate in emergency embargo measures. For example, (1)a group has actively declared ill-will towards the GSC, (2) a vote will be called, (3) should a majority vote in favor of an embargo - all members must then embargo the target(s) until otherwise specified.

Any concerns or questions about the rules should be brought up privately to Elstine Harboson.

(We, the Harboson Company are able to adjust, remove, or add rules with a 24-hour notice to all members.)

Membership Benefits

The GSC is at its core designed as a Trade League; a mass of businesses, traders, resource providers, etc that work in tandem for one another's benefit, and for the benefit of one's territory. While we all are eager for our own successes, we should not sneer towards our fellow members who are finding success today - with one member's success, that success will spread.

1. Business Advice; we are all a resource of knowledge in various fields. Some of us have experience with trading overseas, some know how to test for quality ore, others know what one should pay for 10kg of wheat. While it is expected for all members to generally be willing to share and assist in their knowledge, the Harboson Company will provide free tutoring and general assistance to help establish trade relations or generally boost sales, among other things - your success is our success.

2. All members have access to unlimited (within reasonable means) usage of a caravan guarding force. With a timely request, we will provide Guards for your caravan to go from point A to point B. This includes land and sea transportation.

3. All members have access to our regional warehouse stockpiles, that remain guarded 24/7; usage cost is included within your monthly membership fee.

4. All members have access to use rented ships and caravans to trade supplies across distances; note, this is an additional cost to monthly fee - users will be liable for damages.

5. All members will have access to reasonable investment loans provided by the Harboson Company; please apply with Viceroy Tideguard or Patrician Elstine.

6. All members will be provided itemized insurance when using our storage centers, and using our provided guards for trade.

Questions or comments about the general functions of the GSC should be made private to Elstine Harboson.
