It's kind of crushing to watch update after update go up receiving literally zero views, week after week. Tapas certainly isn't in a hurry to be a contender for novel-writers hoping for organic growth. Very often, Maniaque won't even appear under the "fresh" novel uploads when searched.
I have a great deal of confidence in this story and my writing, so it will continue. But tapas could do better to offer its small creators discoverability.
Still Wednesday! For lore day, I wrote an article about the Warring Lands, the vast salt marsh where the Nor Sator League and the Rhyqir Valley Alliance fight most of their battles. On the World Anvil, if you're interested. https://www.worldanvil.com/w/sof-sator-twinflame/a/the-warring-lands-location
I actually let my buffer of uploaded Maniaque chapters empty out by accident. Whoops! It's filled out for the next several weeks again. No delayed uploads here!
Wednesday is lore day, and today I have an article on the Laines, which is Pharaul's oldest ally, a founding member of the Rhyqir Valley Alliance, and Indirk's place of birth. All those words might mean something if you've read "Maniaque". Anyway, here's a link: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/sof-sator-twinflame/a/the-laines-organization
I'm going to be treating Wednesday as lore day, as often as I can manage it, by uploading articles to Sof Sator's World Anvil. There's already articles up for Gray Watch and the Thousand Year War. Today, I've just published an article about Pharaul: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/sof-sator-twinflame/a/pharaul-organization
Updates to Maniaque have resumed. Blood Queen will continue to be on hiatus for a little bit; I do have more written, but I'm reconsidering my approach to that story. I think it needs something a bit different than what I've been doing.
