🎉 1,000,000 published words! 🎊

The publication of Malware Defender has pushed me to 1,015,332 words published here on my FA account! (The millionth word was "best" "one" (I found a typo and fixed it, lowering the word count by 1), for those wondering.) I was expecting my second book, Towards the Light to take that milestone, but an extensive editing process means it's still 99.9% done at this time.

This is insane, to be perfectly honest. That's longer than the entire LotR trilogy, plus The Silmarillion. It's longer than all six Frank Herbert Dune books added together. It's ALMOST as long as all of Harry Potter (1,084,170, so TtL will push me past it if something else doesn't first). It's... not even close to Wheel of Time which is around 4 million, haha. Game of Thrones is around 2 million total, for comparison.

And it's all thanks to you! I wouldn't be doing this if not for the commissioners and readers out there. Not in the sense that I chase page views or reader counts but just because it's nice to have an audience, and I wouldn't write any of this stuff purely for myself. Some of it might be more meaningful to me than my readers (like TPBS) but I still put it out there in the hopes that other people find it and enjoy it. Whether it's from enjoying the characters, narratives, settings or plots, or because it's porn that's up your alley, I adore hearing other people say they liked my work.

And so, to help try and build a little more of a community...

My Discord server is now open!

discord (DOT) gg (SLASH) 4cnWsWxcux
(Link obscured to prevent bots from scraping it)

I set it up earlier this year and was going to open it when I published TtL, but since something else pushed me past the big 1-mil early I'm opening it now. Whether you just want to lurk and listen for updates, or you want to engage and talk with me, everyone's welcome! I expect it to be a fairly chill server since despite my prolific writing I'm pretty small-time as FA members go. This server is just a place for fans of my work to chill, chat, and ask me questions. The NSFW channels are locked behind an opt-in role, as are the channels for the WS/Scat stories I am most commonly writing, so you don't need to engage with any of that if you don't want to.

In addition to sets of chat/art/ask-code channels it also has a copy of my commission terms and my commission queue so that FA isn't my only place for these. I have a fairly minimal set of channels to get started, and if I get a community going and more are needed, then I will make more.

Nothing is going to be Discord exclusive. I'm still here on FA and will still be reachable through the same means as before. You don't have to join to talk to me or commission me, it's just more convenient. I'd just be happy to see some of my readers there, so feel free to join!
