i just bought fox's tongue and kirin's bone, blacked out, and before i knew it i'd read the whole thing and all the skin stealer's son chapters that you've released. i adore it so so so so so much! i was curious, how many books do you anticipate will be in this series? have you planned it out, or is that question still open-ended for you? <3

The Book Fugue State is one of the highest compliments an author can receive <3

Re series length: I'm aiming for six books, but I think we all know what happens when authors say "the series will definitely be THIS long" (...then seven books later...)

#I've got the main series events plotted out #but there's flexibility in what minor plot arcs play out around them #like how Salvage could have been 20k if I'd only done the Hakoda and Zuko arc #but when you toss in the Dog Names arc and Zuko Making Friends arc and Favorite Apprentice arc #we are suddenly five times that #and it's a much richer story for them #but readers wouldn't have missed them if they were gone because they wouldn't have known it was an option #there are many arcs I COULD do in Fox's Tongue #like I would LOVE to do a Shadhavar arc it would be so pretty #but it's about as necessary to the story as the sex workers arc was to Salvage #fox's tongue and kirin's bone #original fiction
