I haven’t done something like this since I released Wanderlust back in April 2024 and it’s always nerve-racking to submit a new story. A lot has changed since then, not only in my life but in my writing ability as well--as much as some of you dorks might think otherwise :P but nonetheless, I’m incredibly thankful to those that have helped me with this entire process.

First, a big ol shoutout to the wondrous Sleepy_Sluggo! My amazing girlfriend, cover artist, editor-in-chief, and my biggest critic :D (check out her art and nature pics!)

Secondly, a humongous thank you to the members at the discord server Immersive Ink! Writing can be a lonely task, so I’m thankful for all those who have given me feedback, critiques, inspiration, or just given me a laugh when the days got tiresome. It truly is a warm and inviting community that I’m grateful to be a part of and I recommend any writer to check it out.

And lastly, thank YOU, the Reader! I appreciate you even giving me time in your day to read this message! Although I’ve written hundreds of thousands of words in my lifetime (maybe even a million if you’re counting all the essays I had to do in school), I’m still unable to properly communicate how much having any sort of viewership that cares even a sliver about my stupid little stories mean to me. I’ve always written from my heart and to now have a proper audience who want to follow my characters and setting is a type of feeling I can’t explain. It gives me a sense of purpose that I had never had. It makes me want to make this story right. It makes me want to make this story as amazing as it can be!

Patreon Launch

With the release of Nerfed At Birth on my Patreon, I’m currently offering a $2, $5, and a $10 tier.

Every tier offers early chapters ranging from 4, to 12, to 20 chapters ahead! This not only includes the early chapters, but maps, shoutouts, character sheets, and a discord role in my server that unlocks exclusive Patreon-only channels.

If you liked the story so far and binged every chapter on RR that has been released, I highly recommend checking out the Patreon. Not only does it show me that you like the story, it allows me to work on it full-time. I can be stress free of my bills and pay it toward improving the story, commissioning artists, and maybe even upping how many chapters Patrons get (if Irokirth wills it and Kraxmon blesses the speed of my fingers on the keyboard).

My Gratitude

The story is planned for roughly 10 books/volumes at the moment with holiday-oriented chapters and spin-offs as well. I want to make this story incredible and I will do my damndest to make it so. I want to put all of my effort and time into crafting this story, and I’m grateful for any and all who have granted me the ability to do so, either through reading, rating, commenting, or subscribing, thank you, legitimately, from the bottom of my heart. Happy New Year from me to you, let's make it a good one!
