Author Update + September Plans
🕑 Added 2023-09-01 13:43:38 +0000 UTCHello everyone! Happy September! First, I want to say thank you for the response to all the POVs and stuff I put out so far, it's always nice to see everyone is as invested as I am. And some of the deductions on the characters are so spot on shsjsjshhasj I'm excited to continue the POVs into Chapter 1 and beyond.
My Infamous plans:
- Part 2 is trucking along nicely. I hope to have it by September so I can fully focus on rewriting the Prologue - Chapter 2 to prepare it for Chapter 3 and beyond. I've said before that Chapter 3 is when the stats start to kick in and the routes/story begins to unravel and get explored. The RO routes start opening up and the story sort of really comes to its own starting Chapter 3. I need to make sure everything is in TOP shape before then.
- Once it is done, Band Member tier will get earliest access, then fan tier, and then public access will be released to all.
- Once it's time for Chapter 3 to become...a thing, I will start looking for beta testers. The game has become so big that it's just not feasible for me to keep releasing without another (multiple) set of eyes looking over it. Realistically, I want a beta tester for each route, but we'll see.
- I have a feeling Chapter 3 and beyond will be very big. I just like to write a lot (blame my novel writing background) so I'm excited! I just want to be a bit more organized before then hahaha
- I've turned off my inbox on Tumblr. I just got a bit too overwhelmed with the onslaught of questions every morning, knowing there's still thousands waiting to be answered. If there's a question you really need answered, I'm all ears here, though I am focusing on cleaning out the inbox and having it emptied/organized before Chapter 3.
- You'll see the old links to the POVs are deleted. Don't fret! I'll be posting the links in another post. I just needed the links changed. Maybe if I ever get a handle on Twine I'll do it there in order to make it more secure, but I've been playing around in Twine for a bit now and it's a doozy (but it's fun?)(Hopefully I get the hang of it soon).
September Patreon Plans:
- I still have some things I didn't get to in August that I want to do. That's the band POV for the fight and a flashback POV.
- This month I will still work on prologue POVs (I think there's the diner with Seb and people wanted a Blake Winter POV) + but I'll be starting Chapter 1 POVs as well and making sure I do something for Vicmancers. Victoria, your time is coming lol. The POVs are really why I do this, I just think they're really fun and give insight to the characters.
- The usual content, Seven's journals, maybe a Maya entry in her blog, more G content since the last one felt a bit short for me.
- Realistically, I want Ch. 2 Part 2 out before I finish the POVs (which won't happen, I don't think, since there's so many) in order to be ahead in the story. We'll see!
- The Monthly Q&A will hopefully come out today. A few things in my personal life came up that left me sidetracked near the end of August, but most of it has cleared by now.
- Anyway if I manage to get a schedule going I'll definitely post that, but my day to days are so inconsistent it's hard to get a handle on it. Hahaha
But basically, I always try to post as much content as I can in the month. That's essentially my business model LOL
Thank you always for your support and love for this story! I hope the next few months will be fun with the story! We're moving nicely! ^^

That’s a good suggestion!!! I probably wrote it in a way that implies partying through college even if that’s not what you want for your MC, so I’ll definitely add that in! Have a great day!! ❤️

[as a possible suggestion to implement in the Chap 1 - 3 edit process, assuming it hasnt alresdy been proposed, but feel free 100% to disregard:] it just occured to me that, as far as i can recollect (and i will fully admit i have memory loss problems, so forgive me for misremembering of i am) mc's only options are No College, Partied All Through College, or Prematurely Left College, but would it be possible to add an option thatd be "I went and got a music degree, basically. I still need to get a frame for it though"?? bc i think thatd be nice through-line for the whole "music is everything for me" aspect of MC by having that be the only way they actually finish college (and having that "basically" allows for readers to mentally fill in what exact music degree they hc, like Opera or Musical Theater or Audio Tech or so on and so forth (i hc Opera for my mc personally lmao); same with the ambuguity as to what degree they actually got like Associates or Bachelors, but the vagueness could also allude to "a degree, basically" = "a ceritficate from a program [one prestigious enough for a frame]") take the suggestion if you like it, take the diction if you like it too even, but i understand if you dont want this concept for whatever. i just wanted to add this idea here as i wasnt sure if you meant Direct Message in the post above (about where to leave "Asks" basically) or if you meant Comment, and i felt like Comment was the safer option here. no worries either way ♡ have a great day!! ♡♡♡
