Publisher's Update
Added 2024-06-20 00:48:45 +0000 UTCHowdy again everyone,
So, here's the situation. I signed with Podium officially today. For those who do not know, when you sign with a legitimate publisher, you're not allowed to release the book on your own anymore. I created this Patreon and the Symphony series with the idea in mind that I'd never find a publisher, and would likely publish on my own. Now that that is no longer the situation, I'm at a rough spot.
You see, anyone who has been paying the 8$ Patron fee was promised the book early, which I can no longer do. Thus, I came up with a solution.
I'm going to edit the first 35 chapters across the next 3 weeks. As each chapter gets edited down, I'm going to submit it here for reading. This will be, aside from a few flow fixes by copy editers, the final product. This way, you still get the book, and I don't violate my contract with Podium.
When the books release is nigh, I'll have to delete all of those chapters off of here. However, hopefully by then, you'll have had a chance to read them.
There will be substantial edits, of which my three beta readers will assuredly help me with. They will not change the spirit of the story, but they will change the order in which things occur, and the mannerisms of the characters.
For instance, Mr. Nobody needs to be much, much more frightening. I made him far too mysterious, and that's not the right move.
Just before the book releases, the fees for Patreon will go up by 2$. 5$ will still let everyone read early like always, 10 is to help, and I'll keep the 25 where it is, but add an extra tier at 50 that gives the same or similar benefits (25 benefits will change).
If anyone has any complaints or issues, please let me know, and I apologize for the misinformation.
