I think that's essentially a guarantee. He's already selling it chapter by chapter for people that don't use Patreon. Although as bluepixie mentions it will be extremely long. It's over 400k words now, or about a third of In Search of Lost Time.
Well he's got more than enough word count to have written a novel, but if it follows a standard novel 3 act structure then he hasn't written the ending yet. Up to Ch14 was one act, up to Ch24 has been the 2nd act, and we all know there has to be some kind of setback for Lester after the hotel, which leads us into Act 3 where we build to the conclusion. I'd say there are another 12 chapters minimum before this story will reach a logical end. Obvi this is speculation on my part but based in part on how he has written the first two acts. As an aside my estimate is he has around 240k word count at this point, so he could easily turn it into a trilogy of erotic novels if he wanted to.
True, my estimate was conservative at 10k per chapter but we know some chapters are at 18-19k. However there is a lot of fluff he'd have to pull out or reshape. Curious what do you mean by In Search of Lost Time - you mean the fluff or things happening that we aren't aware of?
That's kind of a trap isn't it. As a writer you start out with a specific story in mind, but then you acquire an audience, half of which don't want to see it end and half that want it to have a satisfying start and end point. Either direction you go, you're going to upset someone. Imo, best if you conclude it when there's nothing left to say.
My guess is that Sarah will be forced by Dan to keep away from Lester, Lester will then blackmail her with the videos of him banging her.
Exactly!! I think Lester is tired of playing this game. He makes a comment about Dan remind him of Lizzie's bf. How he puts his nose in places he doesn't belong. He knows Dan is on to him, so he's done playing nice. He'd rather all his lies come out on his terms rather than Dan. Lester is going to record everything that happens in that hotel room and use it as blackmail. He'll have Sarah taking off her blindfold and her not seeing Dan, but she just continues to fuck Jesse's brains out and let's him cum in her. I bet they stay all weekend and Dan stays in jail the whole time while Sarah is either obviously or knows and that will make the video all the more damaging. And we still don't know what happenend in Middlton after the car scene at work....
I know you really want that to happen but you're setting yourself up for disappointment. DS's structure has been pretty consistent with story scene, sex, story scene, sex, story scene - with a few exceptions. He could surprise us with Hotel round 2 sex, but I think it's more likely Ch25 begins the next morning with Sarah seeing the voicemail and we have conflict. Either she chooses to stay with Lester, has Lester help her with Dan or she leaves to go get Dan out of jail.
I think you are partly right. That the conflict will be Dan once again getting in Lester's way which creates a new conflict arc. However I think blackmail would be Lester's last play - his scorched earth policy. Because once he reveals he has videos or tries to blackmail Sarah, she would recoil at that, as least if she stays true to her character. Besides I don't think Lester needs to blackmail her, as Psiber said in a previous post, she's already physiologically addicted and on her way to being psychologically addicted to Lester.
Lester categorically should not touch children, it causes disgust and the desire to put him in prison for life.
