What is Inknexus?
At its core Inknexus is a story board where someone begins a tale, and then after posting other members can carry on from where the last left off.
A completed story features six members each writing a piece roughly 400-600 words long to create a unique story that can be read in the space of a lunch break or on the train to work.
Each story has its own comments section, can be rated and uses our Color Band System to inform readers of a stories content before it’s even opened.
Inknexus is divided in to 7 category based story boards, along with an open board where members are not restricted and can post any length or feature as many or few writers as they like from poetry to full novels. There is also a discussion board where members can ask questions, get to know the community and collaborate on a specific project.
What else does it do?
Inknexus has a powerful framework with an easy to navigate directory of all our members. Once singed up every member has a profile listing all their stories, the ability to add friends and send private messages, follow their favorite members and subscribe to a story to easily keep track of a piece still being developed. The platform will be community driven and take much of its future direction from the user.
The platform features a blog centered on the relationship between readers and authors, along with useful information and guest posts.
Indie Focused
While Inknexus is open to everyone it was specifically created with the Indie Author in mind, giving them a platform to showcase a taste of their work and reach new readers and old fans in a unique way without the reader having to lay down a cent.
Authors have extended profiles and can sign up and post stories that other members can work with them on, essentially sharing the page with their favorites or giving a voice to new up and coming talent.
The platform features a section for all registered author’s new releases, including full descriptions, useful information, teasers and unique interviews you won’t find anywhere else.
Our promise
To keep it free for all Inknexus will feature non-intrusive advertising and in addition we promise to pledge 25% of our revenue back in to the community.
Inknexus will feature regular competitions for both readers and posted stories, focusing on helping those just starting out to get their work published and in to the hands of the public.
What We Need & What You Get
Unlike many projects here, as of right now Inknexus is fully functional and will be launched on the 31st July 2017, but to really get it to where we want it to be it needs some extra love. So we’re raising funds to:
- Optimize the site for mobile devices
- Add additional security features
- Include user experience improvements like additional story formatting, extra member profile features and improved functionality and layout
- Acquire quality recording equipment and software to turn the platform's blog in to a vlog that will also be posted on youtube
If we manage to go beyond our funding goal of $2000 we will use any extra funds to get additional content, continue to add new features and implement many ideas still in the works.
Every cent of the funding we do not spend will be used in our first competitions.
Your contributions will go a long way to making the platform a pleasant and engaging experience for all!
