As of November 1, I will start posting my original stories on my Patreon account (https://www.patreon.com/kuriworlds).
I have been working on my own novel for a while now, in bits and pieces while I was working, and then while I have been off work for disability. I’ve decided that since I have managed to update small one-shots and a few chapters of my WIPS, there’s no reason I can’t dedicate some time to my original work.
And a lot of people have been trying to convince me to let them read my original stories for a while now, so...
Let’s give it a try!
I’m starting with the one novel I am currently in the middle of, which is a fantasy (those of you who enjoyed my story Telanadas will definitely enjoy this one!) and I have two others half-way outlined, including a superhero adventure and the novel I promised based on the Indra and Shachi.
As I get more organized about all of this, I’ll be better able to block out time to work on all of this.
F.A.Q (to be added to as needed)
Why am I doing this?
Other than the fact I love to write and really want to share my work with everyone?
In the short run, I’d like to make enough money to afford to pay some bills, then get my own apartment.
In the long run, and professionally, I’d like to be able to hire people who can help me publish and circulate my work (editors, cover designer, ads, etc.). I really want to make a go of writing in a professional capacity.
Why only November 1?
I have a lot of planning to do via chapters, creating art, linking up my social media accounts, etc. I’m also in the midst of ghostwriting for some extra cash, and planning out my pieces for the SasuSaku fanzines.
What does this mean for your fanfiction?
Absolutely nothing. I will still be writing fanfic, mostly one-shots or fic requests for now. As soon as I have a reliable source of income and don’t have to stress too much about expenses, I’ll give more attention to my WIPs.
What does this change for my current backers on Patreon?
I know I was originally offering writing critiques and feedback, but that was just a placeholder while I decided how I really wanted to approach the Patreon thing. To those of you who have been subscribing there, the only change is that you’ll actually be getting something for your lovely donation :)
Any and all support you guys can manage would be more than appreciated, and if you have any questions, feel free to message me!
