Hey guys, I want to write a bit of a love note to you.
Basically, this story has been in the works for a few years now (as it generally goes with novels at this length). The process of publication was arduous, to say the least. While traditional publication seemed to be my knee-jerk answer, I soon came to realize that the story wouldn't likely fit mainstream, commercial stories - even in the fantasy genre.
Eventually, I got to the point where I just wanted someone to read it. Initially, I posted it on a sister platform (which caught the eye of a WN editor - woohoo!) and here we are. At first, it was daunting to see other stories with millions of readers, and mine with barely four figures, but now, at 88K views, all I feel is gratitude.
On that note, I do wish there was more of a way to interact with my readers, but, for now: DezerayZ is numero uno with patronage. You've been with me damn near since the beginning! And you gifted me an ice cola - my favorite drink! Chavalon13 fed me a delicious pizza, and that made my week when I saw it! TheLazyDeathgod posted the first analysis comment regarding the story - something that is so cool to me. Debating symbolism and possible motives is my favorite past time. The only difference now is that I have all the correct answer (*insert evil laugh*) Lastly, for now.... Boingnoises... I was following your string of comments, trying to figure out which chapters hit harder than others and reinvigorated my motivation to power on! Please continue this. I beg of you.
The end.
Love,
~Higgins
Now for the fun stuff! Thought it was high time for some pronunciation! Most probably don't need this, but I know I always wished fantasy stories came with pronunciation guides, so for those who think like me, here we go...! Forgive my grossly incorrect use of phonetics :).
