Blueprints, Covers, and Series Plans (Patreon)

Hey, everyone! I have a number of fun things for you today.

Blueprints: Check out the new blueprints for Theo and Nauda as of the end of TWC3. Hopefully everything is clear enough, though I wondered about using unique symbols versus general purpose indicators, especially as the blueprints get bigger. Fiyu doesn't get an update, as her unknowns remain unknown and adding a blank second floor isn't very exciting.

Covers: These are the three that I plan to run with, so hopefully everyone finds them tolerable. I know some people want me to remake the first book in the "table" style, but I'd like to at least run with this one for a while. Especially since all of you gave so much feedback on the iterations!

Plans: This series has been held back first by lack of covers, then my busy schedule. Both factors are finally fading, so I hope that I'll be able to publish them soon. Obviously my fingers are crossed that the release of sequels will help establish the series, but regardless of how well they do, TWC4 is close to ready and I'll fulfill my promises for the series. I have two questions for you now:

1) Would you prefer that chapters of TWC4 start up earlier and be interrupted by the TWC2-3 launches, or start later after those launches? There's some ambiguity in the schedule, so I'm looking for general preferences.

2) The version on RoyalRoad is currently stuck at just the first two books. After the release of the second, I intend to check the analytics and make decisions about posting there. One possibility is to do a sprint of TWC3 chapters (perhaps one a day) to lead up to that release. I may cease posting there, though other authors have spoken about how that invites retaliation. Anyone who is a RR user or has thoughts, feel free to chime in.

Anyway, this has been a quieter month, but August should be a more exciting one along multiple dimensions. Thanks for your support!
