Another day, another update for all my Darklings.
I'm working on getting more Inksgiving rewards published. The drabbles are already up and I'll be posting the art commission soon (probably in two posts, so close ups can happen, because seriously - it's amazing!).
As to the two remaining rewards, I've come to a new decision. Due to the length of one of the extras, "The Madness of Grief", I've been having difficulty with trying to figure out what to do with it. Because it's *LONG*. Like, almost 25k words. Which means I'd have to split it into 10 separate episodes to post it! And I don't really want to interrupt the main story for 10 full episodes - that's basically 2.5 months of Extra on my regular posting schedule! So here's what I'm going to do: Starting in the new year, I'll be posting that extra into a new "series" and slowly transferring all previously published extras into the new slot. That way, the main series can flow uninterrupted, and all the extra material can be grouped together in one convenient location. This means I'll also be posting the last of the rewards, the NSFW Kellen threesome, on the new spot once it's finished. Links will be forthcoming once I get that up and running.
I'm also promoting a drabble offer over on my ko-fi page. If you really wanted a drabble written but weren't one of the lucky invitation recipients from Inksgiving, you can find details there - the link is at the end of every episode (just click on the coffee cup pic) and on my creator page here on Tapas.

Greetings, my Darklings. Another day, another update on progress of Inksgiving rewards.
I'm still waiting to hear from 3 individuals for drabble prompts. Alcie, Zinx, and Lilian Zenzi - if you're seeing this, please don't forget to get your prompt in by the 15th of this month! I'll also drop that into the notes of today's episode, in case this post doesn't reach you. If I don't hear from you, I'll cry!
The artwork for the Super Secret Stretch Goal is almost complete. Logan from Evolution Arts has come through again with some *amazing* designs based on the descriptions I provided, and I am so very excited to get that finalized soon and be able to show it off to all of you!
Double Update December will continue until we run out of December and the rest of the Inksgiving rewards remain on the same schedule as I last posted. Thanks again for all your support and interaction with the series - it means so very much to me to know that it's being enjoyed!

Hello again, Darklings! Just wanted to put out an updated timeline on the Inksgiving rewards that were opened as a result of your very generous giving.
First, you've probably noticed that the first two Extras are already out there in the wild. Hope you enjoyed them!
Second, Double Update December is under way. Updates for this month will be Tuesday AND Friday!
Third, I'm looking to have the next Extra out closer to the end of December. It's *very* long - close to 25k words! - so I'll have to split it up across several episodes.
Fourth, the last of the Extras is still being written. I hope to have it done before the end of December, but I'm not going to rush it. It's pretty spicy and features Kellen in a threesome, so look forward to that.
Fifth, my artist has started work on the commission for the Super Secret Stretch Goal. Though, now that it's been achieved and revealed, can I even call it that any more? Either way, I've seen the initial sketches already and they look *fantastic*! I am so excited to get this piece done and show everyone what Denzai look like, let me tell you! It's also inspiring me for some new commissions I'd like to get in the future.
Sixth, I'm still waiting on a few of the replies from those lucky people who got to submit drabble prompts. Just over half are in. There's still some time on that, as the deadline isn't for another 10 days. If I don't hear from them by next week, I'll start additional efforts to reach out. Writing on that will begin when I have responses from all participants.
Future projects: I'm planning to knock out a holiday Extra again this year, and I'll be participating in a New Year's collaboration with several other creators, so be on the lookout for more info on those as the month progresses. As always, thanks for the likes and comments, Darklings! Seeing your names pop up in my notifications when you interact with my series always gives me such a euphoric rush. <3

Heya, Darklings! I know I've been spamming a *lot* of messages of late - it's because I'm excited! Anyway, this will be the last one for, oh, at least a week or so. lol!
Drabble invites have been sent out! If you were one of the 8 lucky invite recipients, please respond by commenting on this thread no later than December 15th. I will make every effort to reach out by other means as this deadline gets closer, but for some of you, this is the only way I can connect with you. If you wish to pass on your invite, I will contact the next donor in line at that time. Drabble writing will commence when I have all prompts in hand.

Tarriq just got isekaid. You figure out the rest :D
Maybe an universe were they all work in a office ?
Tarriq’s and Meshani’s roles or personalities are reversed.
Kellan gains the ability to see emotions in colors like Tarriq's. (I'm sorry I'm late!)
Thank you SO much for supporting my comics (Seemingly Dark and Mil-Liminal) this Inksgiving! Please send me an email to seeminglydarkcomic at gmail so i can send you a special sticker and patch set!
Oh. My. Word.
You did it, Darklings! We hit that Super Secret Stretch Goal! I am so completely floored by your generosity. Thank you for making that happen!
So, I guess it's time for the big reveal. As I hinted, I'll be commissioning some artwork. This is one I've wanted to do for a while and I know the artist is excited about it as well - The Five Life Stages of the Denzai. That's right, a piece on what a Denzai actually looks like!! This may take a little time, so I would ask for your patience as I get this very special commission all sorted out and the artist makes their magic. This will be completed by the same person who has done all the artwork to date for the series, Logan of Evolution Arts. If you have need of arts, I would encourage all my Darklings to reach out to them at https://www.facebook.com/lrevoarts/ or bless their Patreon with a donation at https://www.patreon.com/Evoarts .
You all are the best readers an author could ask for. <3

Darklings, it's been just over 24 hours and we are SO CLOSE to the Super Secret Stretch Goal! If we can pull together another 23,000 Ink, I will get that ball rolling. I am absolutely floored at how close we are, and I am in awe of your generosity. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
My generous Darklings - THANK YOU! You've already blown away the listed Inksgiving goals, and we're only about 11 hours into the event! It's almost 1:30 am where I'm at, but to say thanks I'll be posting the first Extra right away. The regular update will happen as scheduled, and then the second Extra will happen before the end of this week.
I can't express enough how grateful I am to all of you for reading and generously donating your Ink. We still have the Super Secret Stretch Goal to make, so if you can find your way to making 100,000 Ink appear in my coffers before the event expires, there will be a really cool bonus Extra. Here's a hint - I have to commission it from an artist. No one wants to see me try and scratch out some stick figures, I'm certain. But a good artist costs money and should absolutely be paid what they're worth, so this goal is purposely pretty big. And if we don't make it, that's okay - I'll probably get this commission done at some point anyway, but your generous support can make it happen just that much sooner.
As for me, I've given out somewhere in the neighborhood of 95,000 Ink to a whole bunch of my favorite creators today. Because just like you, I'm a nerd for the great stories here.

We're trundling along nicely, Darklings! Book 4 is well underway, with another fresh update today on top of that Halloween special that I dropped on all of you yesterday. Welcome to all the new subscribers, and a big thank you to everyone for reading!
Inksgiving will be coming up later this month, so get ready to give to all your favorite creators here on Tapas! For those who may not be familiar, Inksgiving is an annual Ink giving bonanza occurring over 48 hours during the week of American Thanksgiving. More details will be coming later, but for now, save your Ink so you can give during the designated period - any Ink you give to support creators during the event will go toward an overall community goal, which will return a percentage of your giving back to you. Some creators also choose to set individual goals. And I'm hard at work trying to set some of those right now! If there's any rewards you might be interested in seeing (for example, bonus NSFW extras or art commissions), leave me a note and I'll consider them. We made all the goals I set last year, so the goals for this year will be slightly higher. Be on the lookout for those announcements to start soon!

We're here, Darklings! Today's the day! Chapter 1 of Book 4, "Reap What You Sow" becomes available today at 4 pm PDT! This is the final book of the series as of the moment. But fear not! This world keeps inspiring me daily, and there's still many more stories to be told here. Book 4 contains 24 chapters and an epilogue so no need to worry about running out of reading material any time soon.
But what about afterward, you might ask? How about 5 more extras, set after the series' conclusion. Plus...well, can you keep a secret? The next duology is already in the works! I'm taking my time with it, so no completion date is set yet. But it will absolutely be available here, as a continuation of this series. It's set 7 years after the conclusion of "Reap" and features revolving narrators. Familiar faces return, a side character becomes far more important, and a brand new player enters the ring!
