Quantity is by no means a measure of quality. There are plenty of fans of various franchises who would agree to that.
For me, I'm trying to lay down some serious quantity and I am constantly worried that the quality may not be up to people's expectations. Other than writing, reading, editing, writing again, etc., there's not much I can do on that front. (And, I suppose, I could tell people, "Hey, lower your expectations. We'll all be happier." There.)
If you're curious about the quantity of what I've put out versus what's coming, here you go.
Lords of Kobol - Book One: Apotheosis: 206 pages
Lords of Kobol - Book Two: Descent: 203 pages
Lords of Kobol - Book Three: The Final Exodus: 260 pages
Lords of Kobol - Prelude: Of Gods and Titans: 310 pages
Lords of Kobol - Alternate: Tales from Ancient Days: 116 pages
Total for the Lords of Kobol series: 1,095 pages
Now, here's what's coming using current first draft(-ish) page counts:
Colonies of Kobol - Book One: Earth: 157 pages
Colonies of Kobol - Book Two: Gemenon: 134 pages
Colonies of Kobol - Book Three: Leonis: 138 pages
Total for Colonies of Kobol - Volume One: 429 pages
Colonies of Kobol - Book Four: Virgon: 5 pages
(Gimme a break. I just started.)
Colonies of Kobol - Book Thirteen: Caprica: 544 pages
Colonies of Kobol - Book Fourteen: The Colony: 147 pages
Colonies of Kobol - Book Fifteen: New Caprica: 61 pages
Colonies of Kobol - Book Sixteen: Earth: 101 pages
Total for Colonies of Kobol - Volume Three: 853 pages (plus whatever Book Twelve: Tauron will be)
Total for the Colonies of Kobol series thus far: 1,287 pages
There you go. Time for me to get back at it.
