A quick strawpoll

Hello all, I wrote a book using league of legends characters and I want to publish it as an ebook. It is about 70000 words and 166 pages, so it isn't horribly long, it isn't so short that nothing happens and it tells a story of one particular adventure. Why am I mentioning this here? Isn't that more of a question for riot? Well yes, I am trying to get their legal consent to publish it and contacted player support, who directed me to an email for 3rd party requests. I have emailed that address twice with no response in the past month so I have turned to the forums to maybe draw their eye. The poll I mentioned would be if you are interested at all in a book using the league characters, and if so how much would you (at max) pay for it? I am not asking for your money, just trying to prove there is a market for it. I would personally price it at $3.

I would pay more for a league of legends book on paper. say an average 3-400 page work of fiction i would pay anywhere from 14.95-35$ for. It would all depend on the quality of the story of course.

You really need to have an objective view of your work. If it's basically fan fiction quality, no one is really going to want to pay money for it. I liked of Silence and Scars, but it'd definitely need touched up.

You don't really tell us anything about your book. We have nothing to base our vote on. You mention nothing of the characters involved, what adventure this is, or any other aspect that would really intrigue us. (besides this is a story based on LoL) You need to do a much better job of explaining. (didn't vote)

Hey AFK Farmer, you remembered that fanfic! Sweet. Anyway, yea I wouldve explained more but I didn't want to make it tl:dr. But I used a fanfic of mine as a rough draft and expanded on it, added side segments, lengthened chapters, had the literary guild and my professor at my university edit it and put in suggestions. As for the people involved, mostly the noxians and freljord peoples, though a decent variety show up throughout. It kind of centers around Draven/Darius/Sona a good deal. Essentially core plot is void monsters showing up more organized than usual and people are disappearing. Noxus kinda like "so?" Then people start blaming them because... u know... they don't have a great track record. Then Swain looks into the disappearances and uses Draven and Darius as grunts to go do the manuel work because leblanc has her own agents in play and trust is in scarcity in the military state. That's the broad stroke of it for you Yasu Yoru :)
