Reminder: All series will be removed from Tapas on May 1st.
A Galactic Star will be available in print and on Kindpe with 50 extra pages & bonus stories.
Coffee and Summoning Circles will be available in print, and on Kindle in November.
Confessions will be sometime after that.
I also have two more stories that I have been working away at. A contemporary horror about the perils of drunk online shopping, and an isekai novel with family drama and a cold war.

Due to Tapas repeatedly fucking creators over, I have decided to remove my series from this platform.
Their crimes so far have been removing search words related to top LGBTQIA+ series, nepotism and bullying, romanticized toxicity in their top advertised series (my secretly hot husband), offering less than half of industry standard wages to creators, exploiting indie creators during inksgiving, and most recently, outright scamming someone out of all revenue related to the ip they created (Sound of Bread).
Before Tapas was acquired it was headed in the right direction of being both a just company and a successful one. Now it is a corrupt ash pit unworthy of the deepest corner of Orcus's domain.
In August I was angry and left the tapas server because they allowed bullying to go unmoderated on their discord server. I wasn't the one targeted, but I was a witness, and it disgusted me.
If you see this, chances are pretty good you are a creator yourself. I am removing my series from tapas and I encourage you to do the same. So this is your 60 day notice. On the 1st of May I will be deleting all of my series from tapas, except Welcome to Dusky Hollow as it was a collaboration between myself and several other creators.
Confessions will no longer receive updates here as I begin to find a place for it elsewhere.
A Galactic Star will soon be available on Kindle and Kindle Direct Publishing, and is already available on RoyalRoad and Honeyfeed.
Once I have edited a few more stories Coffee and Summoning Circles will be available on Kindle and Kindle Direct as well.
The AGS comic will no longer be updated on Tapas. It will be available on Webtoon and Global Comix. Global Comix is currently in beta testing for an app and I have high hopes for them.
I never created my stories for revenue, but it wasn't a hobby either. To me, creating has always been akin to breathing. To watch Tapas break down piece by piece is heartbreaking.

Shen
Thanks, I gave it a read. I wasn't entirely sure they would have done this on Tapas, and honestly, I've been watching Tapas implode although by now frankly I don't care since I branched out a lot of other stuff. Good luck on honeyfeed and royalroad. How do you find honeyfeed?
@Endlessmidnightmoon Honeyfeed seems nice enough. because they are partnered with MyAnimeList it is more geared to Lightnovels. they are browser based, but the mobile site is really clean.
@Jobless I hope it is only a premenant hiatus on tapas. your series are fantastic and i would despise to see them lost because the platform is shitballs.
A Galactic Star has a new banner featuring our main trio. There is a phone background version of this in HD available for Ko-Fi supporters. https://ko-fi.com/i/IM4M8IEJKM
The wait is over! A Galactic Star has a comic adaptation! Episodes 0 & 1 are out now. There is no set schedule atm. Considering how accident-prone I seem to be this year, I don't want to make promises I can't keep ;.;
it is the fifth and I sprained my wrist and then dislocated my shoulder after it healed.
I will heal and get back to it soon.
hmmmmmm, so since you don't want me to give you inks I shall give you love instead. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 I hope you are having a wonderful day!
