Hey come read my book!

Wattpad | RoyalRoad | Tapas

Sidra's sister has been kidnapped, taken right in front of her eyes by the earth itself. Convinced that she's somewhere out there, Sidra knows that the only way to find her is to travel beyond the iron wall and into the dangerous north - the land of the wicked fae, where no human lives beyond the first night. Wielding little but an axe and her brutal temper, Sidra has to survive encounters with deadly kelpies, bloodthirsty pixies, and trolls hungry for human flesh. But dealing with the prideful and vindictive high fae without falling prey to their ruthless politics will prove a greater challenge. To navigate their machinations without losing her life, Sidra needs help from one of their own. Enter Valerien, a stunning but unpleasant fae who binds Sidra with an oath in exchange for his aid. But what this promise entails, and why he's forced to live isolated in a crumbling manor, remains a mystery. Only one thing is clear: Sidra and Valerien cannot stand each other. As they struggle to reconcile their differences - and similarities - their animosity threatens to tear the alliance apart, and doom her sister to a life of slavery in a court of beautiful vultures.

NGL this portion has been available for a while now BUT!! More to come later on so. There ya go.

I'm gonna maybe probably make a proper fancy post about this at some point, but for now, the faery wip is LIVE on Royalroad and Wattpad!

The first chapter is out, split up into two chapters on both platforms!

RoyalRoad

Wattpad

Okay anyway!! I'm currently making profiles and uploading stuff in preparation for posting this thing to both RoyalRoad and Wattpad, for now! Let me know if I should put it on other platforms as well, though I'm hesitant to make it more than like ... 3-4. I'm also considering making my own website so I can post chapters on there as well.

But uuh yeah! Get hype! Or don't. I'm not your dad.

Me: *thinking abt Val n Sidra having sex*

Brain: hey man

Me: Yeah? What is it? Are you gonna be weird about this?

Brain: No just ... they can't do that

Me: Look I wanted to include sex scenes in book two as a challenge to myself but also because it's important so yeah I need to think about this. But also like I am a grown-ass adult I can think about my characters fucking if I wa--

Brain: No no I mean ... They can't do that. Physically.

Me:

Brain: Height Difference™

ROUND 2

I was gonna do 3 days for each round but actually I'm impatient and maybe would like to start posting this thing before the end of the year and I'll still have to make the cover so um ... 👉👈🥺

[the-overgrowth]

vote only for the most interesting/eyecatching concept, not the most rendered ones!! i'm just reusing some older art to see if it would work as covers

[the-overgrowth]

I edited/fixed my favorite Val art from 6 years ago!!

[the-overgrowth]

What do y'all think? 👀👀👀

I'm having an idea rn.

What if I posted the faery wip for free on various websites like Royalroad and Wattpad, two chapters per month, right?

But then on ko-fi or Patreon, I'd do THREE chapters per month?? So that way it's accessible to all but I can still potentially make some pennies off of it?

Cuz yeah I am looking into self-pub rn but ngl it also seems like a lot of work that I simply do not have the spoons for. I just want my book out there, ya know?

Bloodbark trees are highly prized for their exotic red wood. Also called Murder Trees, they produce large amounts of sap that looks strikingly like blood.

Those who have felled this tree claim to have become convinced they were striking down a human being. This is thought to be an adaptation that allows Bloodbarks to survive in an increasingly deforested world.

Finished editing!! Again!!

It's now just below 116k!! And without any huge plot changes!! I just cleaned this beast up a LOT. AAAAAAAAAAA.

Gonna do a teeny tiny mini-beta round while I query, which I think is probably good and feasible since I don't expect any agents to bite anyway, and I might as well fix small things in the meanwhile<3

Wee I'm so happy!! ^^

I've been quiet but I prommy I've been doing work!! The first book is, so far, down from 119k to 116k words!! And there's still 7 chapters left!

Edited 15 out of 26 chapter so far! I hope to do at least one chapter per day so I get this over with quickly. The climax might also need more substantial rewrites, unfortunately :/
