I was curious/suspicious about it before, but having read Castling Part 2, now I'm REALLY freaked out by the sketchiness of the "testing" the kids go through. Are we going to learn any details about it soon?
You'll just have to wait and see, anon!

Hi Kitty! Just wondering if any Pacific Islander or Native Hawaiian characters would be appearing in TPC? Also, thank you so much for writing this series :)
Yes! One of the Black Shucks is Native Hawaiian. We'll be seeing more of her in the future c:
I subscribed to the Timely Tales on Gumroad and I was wondering whether that only gives me updates to the postings since I have subscribed or whether I can download all 8 that have been released so far?
The subscription entitles you to the next twelve future releases. The previous ones must be purchased individually.
I get really confused about years and timelines - will you be releasing an official timeline at some point?
I don't currently have plans to release an official timeline, no. If some industrious fan wants to cobble together their best estimation, I'm sure it would be appreciated.
Will Secret Files Vol 1 be available to non-backers via storenvy at all? Is a print collection of Timely Tales at all planned? Awfully sorry if it's been answered before, there was no definite answer linked on the wiki page.
The Secret Files will definitely be available to non-backers! It won't see a print run for a while, thanks to its size, but the digital version of it will be available within the next couple of months. I was planning to do a print run of the Timely Tales after the first twelve were finished, but last night I started piecing the work together in InDesign...
...and realized that the first six issues are 250 pages just on their own. SO. I'm going to go even more into comic book mode and release the Timely Tales as six-issue arcs. I'm going to either make the print run one of the Retcons backer goals, or open up preorders to fund the run. Opinions are very much welcomed.
ORIGINS INDIEGOGO BACKERS: If your backer level included any merchandise in addition to the book itself and you have NOT received an e-mail regarding your print/color band choices, contact me ASAP. I've sent out three e-mails over the past year, and some of you have yet to get back to me. I can't send you your items if I don't know what you want, so PLEASE check your spam filters if you have not confirmed your choices.
TIMELY TALES OF THE POSTHUMANS #7 - “UNTOUCHABLE”
KITTY BURROUGHS (W) • MARGARET HOUANG (C)
• Vee Kim prides herself on doing the right thing. As the lieutenant of the Valkyrie Squad, she is charged with protecting those who cannot protect themselves. She may have started out on the wrong side of the law, but that only means that she has an intimate understanding of the situations and circumstances that lead people to criminal activity. Now that she is a Collector, she holds herself to a higher standard. Of all her squadmates, she is the one most known for not letting the perp get away.
Except for that one time, with that one boy. Once upon a time, Vee Kim made an exception for a blue-eyed boy who’d been kind to her when she’d needed it the most. She let him go, but he keeps coming back.
He’s kind of a giant pain in her ass, really.
• One-Shot/Rated T+
NOW AVAILABLE AT GUMROAD AND STORENVY!

Could you explain the Secret Files coupons? I'm a little confused.
I explained them here. Printing a 50-page color book costs as more than printing the 300-page B&W novels. I had much more material than that, and I was afraid that people would be unhappy with such a slim offering.
I gave my new address to Ry last year, sorry. I haven't gotten contacted by you, so I'll just wait and maybe buy a new one when I have money. Sorry.
If you gave Ry your updated address, that is where your backer items will be sent. If your book bounces back to me, I'll let you know!
Have you gotten any returned books from wrong addresses?
Several. Which is kind of a problem, because I have to pay postage twice for them. If your address has changed since the IndieGoGo campaign, PLEASE EMAIL ME. When the books are returned, I try to contact the backer and let them know that their item was not delivered. It will be up to you to pay the shipping cost if your book is returned to me.
LOOK AT WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL ♥ These bad boys will start shipping out on Monday, so put your order in today!
(Grandma immediately requested I put Maks on her phone. She has good taste.)
Been wanting to plaster TPC all over your life? Well, now you can! In collaboration with the amazing Phee, we are now opening up preorders for posterstickers! Each sticker is 2” in height. You can snag one for $2.50, or the whole trimmed set for $20! If you want to trim your own stickers, an uncut sheet is $10. These darling posterbeans will be shipped out by 2/3!
Questions about Corbin's powers as relating to progeny! So does he change down to the genetic level when he shifts, and pass those changes in his genetic traits on to his kids? Also, if he were in a shift with a working womb setup, could he carry a baby to term if he stayed in the same shift long enough? And what would happen if he were pregnant and then shifted to a non-womb-having form?
Hypothetically, yes. But it would be INCREDIBLY dysphoric, and all the things could go wrong. If he were more than a few weeks into the pregnancy, shifting to a non-womb-having form would probably end in fatal internal hemorrhaging.
Oh no, Gloria's Timely Tale is going to kill me, isn't it? Speaking of fabulous ladies, I'm in love with the Queen. I was wondering, does she / did she ever get involved in combat personally, or does she more do behind the scenes commands and directions, and investigations?
Well, we know how Gloria’s story ends (at least for now), so there will be the expected level of heartbreak, I think. As for the second part of your question, Amira doesn’t engage in physical fights often, but she can more than hold her own. Corbin was adamant when it came to his loved ones learning to protect themselves, so he started training with her during their teen years. Demonstrating how to beat the snot out of someone was how Corbin showed love.
Fun fact: Mal did not inherit his fondness for bladed weapons from his father— not directly, at least. Amira likes knives, and she’s very good with them.
Between the holidays and my unfortunate case of strep throat, I’m a little behind schedule with January’s Timely Tale. I’m pushing the release out to the 7th. I’ll post the full solicit once I have the cover, but for now, I’ll give you a teaser: this one’s all about the Femme Fatale.
Howdy, i just started reading TPC and was just looking for clarification on who belongs in what generation...i've seen gold/silver/bronze terms thrown around...but I'm not 100% sure that I know what groups are being referred to (mostly with the Silver/Bronze distinction)
Originally, the terms were for my own personal use, because worldbuild is unwieldy and I tend to be less than organized. I arbitrarily chose the names of the first three comic book ages. Each generation in the posterverse has a trinity that affects the worldbuild in a dramatic way-- much like DC's Superman/Wonder Woman/Batman trinity and Marvel's Iron Man/Captain America/Thor trinity. In TPC, the Golden Age's trinity is Amira/Corbin/John. The kids in Origins make up the Silver age, and the next generation will be the Bronze one. I hope that clears it up for you!
psst. The Timely Tales issues are now available to buy on Storenvy. If Gumroad’s not your jam, you now have options.
