Hello!
So, an update... where to start?
First, I should tell you that things are a bit up the air right now at Tapas after a big business shift. I think it's a good thing for the future of Tapas, but it means a lot of fluctuation on the back end concerning staff, projects, and uploads at this very moment.
Currently there is no one on the back end who can upload my newest episode, which means it's sort of sitting in limbo until that gets all figured out, and they refer me to a new point of contact. I'm very sorry about that. I know you've all been exceptionally patient already! I'm in contact with someone from Tapas who is working to figure things out, and may even be able to set it up so that I can upload the episodes myself, rather than having to rely on one of their staff. That would honestly be a huge relief.
Because the most frustrating part about this is that I cannot help but feel like, in this current state, I am sort of barred from my own story. I cannot update, I cannot edit, I can't really do anything without going through someone on the back end and there seems to be no obvious timeline for when true structure will return. That scares me a bit.
I really hope this is resolved soon. Please know I'm doing what I can to get the next chapter into your hands!
Much love,
Dragon Mom

I know it is out of your hands but I want you to know you are missed.
Hi everyone!
I just wanted to drop a line here to apologize again for the mini hiatus. It's not permanent or normal but I do have a lot going on. This time of year it is crazy busy at my place of work, so I am not getting many days off let alone time to write! It should calm down after the next month, and I will do my best to get a chapter out soon with the scarce time I have. As always, thank you all for your patience and heartfelt comments! You always succeed at keeping Handmaiden at the forefront of my mind, and a priority!
Much love from Dragon Mom!

No worries, totally understandable. I have a crazy-busy-period sort of job as well. Please just look after your physical and mental health and I'll keep my eye on out for new chapter postings. : )
Thanks for letting us readers know! And no worries. Can't wait to see what Artie and Ashent do next... :)
Thank you for letting us know you are okay just busy :)
Hey, hi, hello! Just letting readers know that Handmaiden is 30% off this week! I see lots of people binging so now is the perfect time to...escalate that further? Listen, we're adults here. It's your money. If you're enjoying the story, then I'm happy.
:)
:)
Yes, I am indeed. Binging is both incredibly fun and also devastating (when you reach the end of what's available). Thanks for all the hard work and I'm excited to see where the Handmaiden continues to go from here! ^_^
I would take advantage of the sale too but... I have no willpower and I last at most 3 days (because I was sick) before reading the new chapters.
Oh no! How are you now? I hope you feel better soon!
Hi everyone! The exciting time has finally arrived! Handmaiden has released new never-before-read episodes! It's been a really long time coming... almost six years for me since I began the story as a budding writer, just starting to dip my toes into my own original worlds and works. I want to thank everyone who has helped me uncover the story so far, and I hope everyone enjoys the episodes that are to come.
Love from Dragon Mom! *mwah and mwah and mwah!*

So exciting! Thank you!
Hi! I enjoyed reading Handmaiden on FP and Tapas before it went premium and would love to restart. Do you happen to have the chapter number it was left off on? I would not like to pay ink for chapters I have already read ideally and it would be great to know where to start!! Thank you :)
Hi! Welcome back! Actually the story on Tapas has not caught up to the point FP was at yet. It'll probably be about another month or so before we're caught up. It'll probably be about episode 130-135 that will be end of the stuff you already read :) I'll try to check back and update this when we've hit the new stuff. Thanks!
Thanks for letting me know! :)
Hi everyone! Just a heads up that Handmaiden is 30% off for the next week so if you were intending to catch up and binge, now is a good time! As always, thanks for all your encouragement and support! *mwah*
Hi guys! Just wanted to shout out a big thank you to everyone who is reading and enjoying and supporting Handmaiden! This past week as been so exciting for me and, WOW, we're at 3000 subs already! I'm amazed. I've received some truly lovely comments from both new and old readers alike, and it just warms my heart. Thank you so much!
If you'd like to keep reading, chapter 20-21 are available now!
Much love! <3

I cannot tell you how excited I am that you’re continuing Handmaiden! I’ve been reading it for years- since the very beginning on FictionPress, and then on Wattpad. I am soo thrilled to find it here!
It is my all time favorite, best ever written, dragon story. Thank you for writing it, posting it, and sharing it with us!!

Omg thank you so much! I don't plan on leaving Tapas any time soon so you won't have to follow the story around anymore, haha! It's found a permanent home. I'm so happy to see one of my long-time readers is still enjoying the story <3
The day is finally here! Handmaiden has launched! Enjoy the journey!
Hi everyone! It's been a bit of time but I'm finally here with an update.
The premium version of Handmaiden will officially be launching June 8th! I'm super excited to finally be able to share it with you all, as both myself and the Tapas team have been working hard to get it ready. I'm so happy that the time has finally arrived.
To everyone who has read Handmaiden, you may find that the story is a little different than you remember! Rest assured that what you loved about the story has been maintained, but you will definitely be in for some new surprises! Certain aspects have been completely re-written from the ground up, to better reflect Tapas's taste and vision, as well as my own. I'm really interested to see old readers reactions to this (partially) new adventure! It's been really motivating for me to be able to rekindle the flame of this story. I sincerely hope that you guys will love it as much as the first time.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below and I'll be sure to get back to you. I look forward to hearing from you all on June 8th! <3
