Hello everyone! 

So, I've had to take a lot of writing time to answer questions, and usually they're some variation of the same question, so I decided to just write them all down and answer them here to make everything simple.

Q: What's happening to Sporemageddon?
A: I sold it to a new publisher who bought to exclusive rights to publish the story.

Q: Will it still be on Royal Road/Spacebattles/Scribblehub/Amazon?
A: No. 

Q: What about patreon?
A: Any incomplete volume (ie: Vol 3 right now) will still be on patreon until it's completed.

Q: Why are you doing this?
A: Because I want to spread Sporemageddon to a wider audience and they happened to pay me plenty.

Q: Where can we continue to read Sporemageddon?
A: If you mean into Volume three? Then only my patreon for now. Once it's done, then the new publisher will be publishing it. 

Q: Whatever shall we do now that Spore is gone?
A: Read... one of my many, many other stories? Both Fluff 2 and Heart of Dorkness 2 are completed on patreon and will be soon on RR/SB/SC. Otherwise, check out Stray Cat Strut or Cinnamon Bun... or Love Crafted, or Lever Action, or... you know, I can't really be accused of not providing a heap of free stories. Sporemaggedon accounts for about 2% of my wordcount.

Q: Do you have a link to the new site?
A: Not yet! I'll post about it as soon as I can!

Q: Did you look over the contract with a lawyer?
A: Yes. It's why we've been going back and forth about it for months.

Q: When will Sporemageddon be leaving?
A: September 16th, 2022. If you want a paperback of the first volume, you should try to order it before the end of the day!


Alright, if you have any more questions, I'll answer what I can. I'm under a pretty strict NDA at the moment, for reasons I can't explain because of the NDA.

It all makes sense and happy for authors to make a living

A living? No, Raven just wants more money to feed his art commissioning addiction

Didn't know I bought a collectable. Very happy for you, Raven. Getting chased down and having one of your works become an exclusive is pretty awesome. Hopefully this new place takes off just right.

I'm happy for you.

Wait what about audible? Will it ever come out there?

Pretty cool that the publisher is intrested in buying this TBH. Mainstream media nowadays is soo full of re-makes and re-masters that it's rare to see people invest in original ideas. Especially when it comes to original ideas containing non-binary characters.

Yes! I didn't sell the audio rights to the publisher, so I'm looking for someone to produce the Sporemaegddon audiobook now!

Will new publisher also do digital distribution? I'd be happy to buy a non-Amazon ePub.

Who is the new publisher? Can you give us a name?
