Hello, readers! A quick update:

The Reverent is now complete on Tapas, and all of the Inksgiving rewards are now posted or in progress.

The two outstanding rewards are the art commission and ebook access. Please go to the last posted episode to vote on the art commission; that will be open until Jan 2.

The ebook is looking like April/May, and I'll be in touch with ink supporters closer to release with their free copy.

In the meantime, if you'd like to get updates on what's next, you can subscribe to my newsletter on my website (www.lilianzenzi.com) or check out my brand new ko-fi at www.ko-fi.com/lilianzenzi . Ko-Fi supporters get extras and an invite to a private Discord server, and ko-fi funds go to art commissions and editing costs for future work.

Wishing each and every one of you a fabulous 2023,

LZ

Inksgiving rewards update!

The third reward posted today. It's a sneak peek at the prologue to Meri's book, which hopefully will be ready to release in June of next year.

That leaves three rewards remaining!
1. The Q&A will post on Sunday.
2. I'm preparing an episode for us to vote on art commission details and will share that in the next few days.
3. I am rebuilding my website and will soon be ready to share info for supporters on receiving their free ebook copy early next year.

The last chapter of The Reverent posts Saturday morning.

Last day to send questions for the Inksgiving Q&A reward! Please reply here or on ep 46 (Q&A question farming) if there's anything you'd like to ask me or any character from the novel. Q&A will post after the last episode releases on Dec 10 (!!!).

INKSGIVING UPDATE!

Total Inks: 103,057

THANK YOU!

I can't wait to share the rewards...
you hit every one of my ink goals, including the surprise stretch and the big stretch.

I'll update the plan for reward release dates and taking suggestions and votes on artists and artwork in an extras episode later this week.

The Q&A is open for questions until 11/30. Send ? to me anywhere, I'll get them into the queue.

love,
Lilian

Happy Inksgiving!

WOW!

Seriously, thank you all. I was not expecting this, and I can't wait to share the rewards. We've unlocked the Q&A, the extra episodes from Jin's POV, and advanced ebook access for ink supporters. (I'm going to cry. But in a good way.)

I'm adding a surprise stretch goal at 75k: I'll release a sneak peak of Al's story, which is very much in progress and not likely to release for realsies until next spring or summer.

Stretch goal at 100k is commissioning new art. Supporters choose artist and scene.

<3 you all. Thank you for reading and supporting.

Welcome, new subscribers! I'm delighted you found my series and I hope you enjoy the story.

Official announcements about Inksgiving goals and rewards come next week, but I wanted to mention to everyone that I'm currently gathering questions for a Q&A episode.

If you have a question for me as author/creator or for any of the characters, please send them to me here or comment on episode 46. I'll answer anything but I will try to avoid spoilers. Maybe I'll answer those on my website.

Thank you!

New cover art! I'm so excited. I love this art so much. Art is by the awesome Lucas (@newmoonnero on Twitter) and I brushed off some old production skills to design the cover.

There will be larger versions of this art on my website once I finish making some changes there. The details are too good to lose to these tiny thumbnails.

In other news... as we're getting to the end of part 2, and I anticipate part 3 being the end of this novel, I'm looking ahead to what's next. Some time next year, I'll be releasing a revised & expanded version of this on my website, including scenes from Jin's perspective (and probably more spicy content that I can't post here).

This early draft will stay on Tapas unless something big changes.

As always, thank you all for being here with me.

Happy September! New episodes will begin releasing September 14. I’m almost ready!

I have new cover art on the way. I love it a lot and I’m hoping all of you will too. Check out @newmoonnero on Twitter for some of the artist’s other work.

There are a lot of new subscribers after The Reverent was featured in August and I just wanted to say I’m glad you are here! Thank you for reading and supporting and I hope to get to know more of you in the future.

See you in two weeks!
