Good morning, everyone!
I hope you're doing well and enjoying the first rays of sunlight wherever you are.

I spent the last week in my hometown, Leipzig, after being invited by my publisher, SPLITTER, who released the first part of Myre Vol. 2, to attend the biggest and most visited book fair in Germany, Leipziger Buchmesse. There, I had several signings alongside amazing comic peers such as Mini Ludvin, Peter Eickmeyer & Gaby von Borstel, and the one and only Miguel Diaz Vizoso.

Live book signings sponsored by publishers usually come with quick character sketches, so I banged out tons of Myre sketches—sometimes even other characters from the story upon request. It may sound stressful, but the book fair was exactly what I needed to reconnect with myself, my art, and my readers. For the longest time, since 2019, essentially, I've missed the feeling of releasing new work and moving forward with my inspiration.

The past four years have been riddled with traumatic events that slowed down my progress on Myre Vol. 2 significantly, stretching the project to four years in the making. This is usually very risky for a publisher, so we were all surprised by how much attention Myre and Haunter of Dreams received at Leipziger Buchmesse. I really can't thank you enough.

All the sketches I did—probably more than a hundred in just four days—broke my internal art block and depression. I usually don’t talk about these things publicly, but they’ve become an important part of this project’s journey. Breaking free from that, along with finally seeing the book in your hands, is the biggest success of all.

To top it all off, my birthday fell on the second day of the convention, and my mom, who came along, organized a beautiful party for me there. The entire team at SPLITTER made it even more special and unforgettable. They gifted me a beautifully handcrafted book with a heartfelt inscription inside.

This whole community, you and the SPLITTER team, have always rooted for me, and I can't thank you enough for that. I hope you're happy with the result after all these years of waiting and that you're excited for the final book in the series, which I definitely want to create after a short hiatus. I can finally think and dream in terms of art again, and I have many ideas for fulfilling the remaining perks. There’s a lot more to come from me! Also, I've been thinking a lot about Myre and Varug. I haven’t shared much artwork of them as a duo, even though they’re at the heart of the entire series. That’s something I plan to change.

To everyone still waiting on their copy of Myre with original illustrations and character art, I’ll be in touch soon. I apologize for the long wait.

Thank you again for everything!

MYRE Vol. 2 is in stock and ready to be shipped. I ship worldwide. Leave me a note there when you order to request a signature!

I hope you’ve been doing well! Today marks my first convention in a long while, and I’m really excited to mingle with people again. :) Unfortunately, Myre won’t make it in time, arriving just a couple of days after the event. But for those of you attending, you can find me at my table in the Dealer's Den!

I’ll have a small laptop running a slideshow with a few pages and panels from Myre for you to preview. Be sure to stop by and say hi! I’m really looking forward to seeing you!

While Myre has been in the printing stage, I’ve been working on the art for the collectible cards and the pin designs. Creating artwork has been challenging for me due to burnout, but now that the colder days are here, I’m starting to feel more energized and ready to dive back into creating, slowly but surely.

Posting updates on Myre Vol 1 has been a slight challenge for me as well, but I'll get back to it as soon as I return!
There’s not much left to do, so shipping will begin soon, and I’ll keep you posted on the progress.

In case you missed it, Myre Vol. 2 is still on preorder on my website: https://www.yriachronicles.com/myre2/

Thanks a lot again, and see you soon! :D

Just a quick note; If you're on X, I uploaded a video of the proofs for MYRE Vol. 2! -> https://x.com/AlectorFencer/status/.....64785930735807

The proof prints for MYRE 2 arrived and the colours look perfect! The video doesn't do it justice. I wish I could've shown all proofs, but you'll find out once you hold the book in your hands. :) These aren't full pages — I used snippets to proof parts with the most complicated colours. Omg, I'm totally wiped out from work right now. I've spent the entire past week editing, refining, honing, reformatting, rephrasing, and fixing mistakes on 180 pages of comic. It was a constant back-and-forth, file-switching marathon.

Then yesterday, a good friend swooped in with his laser-focused eye, catching even the tiniest flaws on every single page. He read through every page from a reader's perspective while still maintaining a critical eye. He came back with suggestions that made many things even better. So, there I was, juggling his feedback, going back and forth through all 180 pages again to fine-tune Myre 2. Whew! :)

Just one more step and everything goes to print! I'm preparing for another all-nighter to get all files ready, then delegating the work for the final step to cruzCorax on X , who is prepping the printable files. I'm so happy, everyone. So soon!

So, yeah... In the past few weeks, I've been toying around with the thought of posting the whole graphic novel, MYRE: Chronicles of Yria Vol. 1, here on FA as well.
In spite of the concerns I mentioned earlier in my post about Myre's release on TAPAS -> https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10672351 - I thought cluttering my gallery here would be a bad idea. However, it's not clutter I'd post. It'd be the release of part of my magnum opus, of which this community is part as well.

The internet is currently either totally frantic or dead. And I've been in my art cave for the most part, with yet another big while to go for Myre Vol. 2, and until I can release fresh work.
So, on the net, I either face total silence or total warfare, depending on the current internet's topics of the day. Anyway, my thinking is that my latest post on a Myre page kind of surprised me with the reach and engagement I got. It really made me happy to read your comments. It's fun to connect! And I was reminded once again that this community here is still active and bubbly.

So, my question is:
Would you like me to release Myre Vol. 1 here on FA for you too?

The pages would not be in vertical reading format like on Tapas and Webtoon (<-soon) but in their original format, including my commentary and updates on Myre 2 as I go. This is how I handle my Patreon page as well. Stay up-to-date and share your thoughts. If there's a definitive decision on my release here, I'd need a bit of time to get everything ready. Because, you see, I work about 10+ hours on Myre 2 in a day, not including real-life things or chores. It's not just posting something. It's actually a real chore that needs to be planned properly.

Please let me know what you think! :)

That's it from me for now.
Have a good day!

Hi everyone! I really hope you're doing well!

I decided to start releasing MYRE - Chronicles of Yria Vol. 1 as an online comic on a weekly basis. While I'm working on MYRE Vol. 2, this will give me a way to connect Myre to a broader audience and build a community around the worldbuilding!
For this, I decided to post Myre on TAPAS and WEBTOON (<- Webtoon coming soon), which comes with a very interesting format change: Since the pages are all vertical and mainly for mobile reading, I made changes to the format itself, resulting in an entirely fresh and different reading experience!

Read MYRE Vol 1 here: https://tapas.io/episode/2936952


Why do you post Myre 1 online?
I haven't posted anything regarding my decision to release Myre 1 online on FurAffinity. However, there is a bigger life update that explains everything as to why I made the decision. It's a bit of a read, but here you go -> https://www.patreon.com/posts/feeli.....n-but-84419717

Will you post the pages on FurAffinity, too?
I don't think it would be a good idea. Myre is a massive comic project with 180 pages. At some point, Myre Vol. 2 will be done and will need a lot of space to be announced. I don't want to risk my gallery being too cluttered for anyone to see important updates. However, I do plan to post crops and snippets every now and then. Sounds good? Let me know!
What do you think? Let me know your thoughts!

Are you still working on Myre 2?
YES! Every single day! :)
Announcements will come when the time is right! Myre Vol. 2 is my most ambitious project so far, exceeding the amount of work I did on HoD. But it's going to be worth it.
Thank you so much for your patience! <3<3<3

If you like my work and want to support me, I have many posts and the first chapter of Vol. 2 online on PATREON! There are already 121 posts for MYRE 2 alone! :D
https://www.patreon.com/AlectorFencer

Every bit helps, so thank you for your support!
For now, have fun reading the first part of Myre 1 on TAPAS.

More updates soon!
All the leafy love!

Hi, everyone!

I am so sorry for my lack of activity on social media for the past several months, and throughout the entirety of the year... Never did I expect my year to become the turmoil it was, and still partially is. This is going to be a bit of a wall of text, but it encompasses the most important reasons for my lack of online activity.

You can find the update in this public post here (It's free):

Thank you all for everything! <3

Creature design is an essential part of worldbuilding and creating convincing environments.

I have the great honour to be invited to a masterclass with Adobe Live/BEHANCE to share with you some insights to my approach to creature design!
On Wednesday, I'll be sharing my techniques on finding ideas for a new creature from concept to illustration. You can be part of it at our livestream.

The only downside (for now) is that the stream will be in German. However, we'll to respond to your comments and questions anyway! :)
I'd love to welcome you there!

Language: German (however, you can still ask questions and enjoythe visuals.)
Time: Wednesday, JAN 26th, 11 am (MEZ)

So, here we are again – at next year's doorstep.
Before you turn the handle and enter, though, you look back once more and reflect on the things which moved and changed you.

And you might realize that this year was an enormous mixed bag of events, for better or for worse, which feel like everything went too fast and not moving at all – both at once.
I don't know yet how you feel about this year. But in my perception and experience, 2021 felt like a perpetual train ride without any stops but with newly arriving passengers on board. And the view is changing but the feeling isn't. And you take in all new impressions and events but remain seated, stoically, like everyone else.
Reflecting back on this year, I made a truly gargantuan amount of progress with everything I'm working for. But where personal success and riches fill one side of my heart, the experience of losing my father feels equally as much, thus leaving the other side of my heart empty.

But knowing that acceptance and good memories are the best healing factors, I feel that I now have more room in my heart for new things to prosper. And I learned a great new deal about myself, knowing that I do have the energy and time for others, especially my family and friends, to be an active part of my life.
I do tend to bury my head into work and forget everything around me. While this is great for my ongoing project, Myre, I learned to be there for everyone who enables and supports me and my efforts.

We're all in a big time of change within which the flip of a number doesn't matter much. What might matter more, in my opinion, is how we tackle new challenges and perceive our surroundings so that we can move on and be more proud of our achievements – no matter how small they might appear to you.
So it's not about seeing a change of date and feeling happy to be done with this year. Instead of wishing you a happy new year, I would love to ask you how you feel, what you achieved and what you feel grateful for.

So, how do you feel?

Because one thing I've learned this year is:
This year had many of us bury our feelings and had many of us feel numb, regardless of progress.
It's not your fault. Believe me when I tell you it feels good to find out about the things you achieved. They're like little gems you may buried under along the perpetual train ride.

With these thoughts, I'll leave you to turn the handle and enter the next chapter.

Much love, and thank you for being here. <3

Hey everyone,

I'm normally not very open about my private life, keeping both sides, the art and life, separated fromt he public. But since I cherish this community for the immense support you've given me throughoutt the years, I feel the urge to keep you up to date with the things that have an impact on my life.
It's especially important to me to update you with this as to not leave you in the dark, wondering why things are moving so slowly.

On July 20th, I received the shocking phone call that my father had taken his own life. There were no immediate indications for his decision. He was a strong, healthy, successful man with joyful prospects and big plans in his life.

He was a great musician, well versed with the piano and acoustic guitar, and a wonderful singer. And he was a sports man, lifting heavy, running fast and cycling for miles, almost daily. The entire town knew and cherished his company.
Even the day before his decision, my siblings and he went out for a swim and ice cream, after removing right-wing-paroles from poles and buoys in the middle of a lake. Weeks before, he got himself a small dog whom he loved above everything, and his active lifestyle inspired a community of his own.

We both had many plans together. He would turn 65 on the 20th this month.
Last month, the 20th of August, my family and I held his funeral and celebrated the life he had and the life he shared with us; There's nothing but love.

In the past two months, I joined with my siblings and my father's wife in our home town, as well as spending as much time with family and friends as possible.
After all, what happened to us is probably something everyone of you can somewhat comprehend:

The year 2021 went by in such a hurry because every day has been the same. All of us were locked inside, and we got used to working ourselves to oblivion. And what happened to my father and my family, let me on a journey of searching for answers within myself and for everyone else. I know that this will take a very long time to process completely.

But speaking out about this is one step closer to healing. Seeing friends and family is another, and letting myself go with inspiration to try and understand mental health on a deeper level, then convert this understanding into art, will help not only to heal myself. I hope it will support others, too.
Times like these can be eye-openers. It was so for me. There is always so much more to learn, and so much more to give.

But it always takes time.

Of course, my work on Myre is never coming to a halt. If this is something you worry about;
The setback and my current life situation forced me to slow down my output and might eventually lead to a new personal deadline in the future. But my work continues, and I’m making more progress.

My Patreon currently hosts the first chapter of Myre Vol 2. It marks the end of the first chapter and the beginning of the continuation of Myre's story. Since Myre isn't intended to be a full online publication, I halted the posting of single pages there.
The full first chapter will be sent to my supporters via PDF very soon. The PDF is part of a reward, which supporters pledged on Indiegogo last year to help fund the making of Myre Vol 2. In the future, my Patreon rewards will include spoiler free snippets and high resolution artworks, including steps and WIPs... but more about it soon.

In memoriam to a wonderful person who also inspired me to become the person I am today.

Thank you for everything.

Dear friends,

I am sure you've been asking about my whereabouts and how Myre is going. It's been going wonderfully so far!

The people of Adobe DE and Behance invited me to do a livestream session with them tomorrow! You can join the chat, ask questions or enjoy watching me present and work on some of the newest pages of Myre Vol 2! The only twist: the stream will be in German.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
Have a wonderful rest of the Sunday and a great start into the new week!

2020 has been a rollercoaster with loops bigger than we were sometimes able to stomach. Yet between the darker times were many moments of hope, community spirit and happiness.

All of the happy moments I experienced were through my amazing family, friends and the wonderful community online. There were times when we all had to pull on the same rope to get to our goals and help each other out. We all did our best.
Most of all, despite the hardships this year poured upon our heads, you gave everything you had to support my art journey and to make Myre Vol 2 come to life! It's a slow but steady process.

Thank you so much for everything. I think I can't say it often enough: Thank you for being here for my journey and Myre's journey as well!

Have a most brilliant start into the next year!
All the love, Alector

Hi everyone!

In case you missed my most recent updates regarding MYRE Vol 2 on Indiegogo, I have added limited Yrian commission slots as perks!

They're almost like a tradition that come with every of my campaigns and are a very rare opportunity to get a large scale painting of your character in the setting of Yria's world. If you are interested to see your character as an Yrian, head over to https://igg.me/at/myre2 .
In case you pledged on any of the tiers and would like an upgrade, you can cancel your previous pledge, get your money refunded and pick the slot you like best.
But before you decide to do that, I want you to make sure that your fridge is filled! Your support means the world to me and I would want you to be safe and sound before you're deciding to pick up a massive slot. <3
These slots are a fun opportunity to work together with me and they help further the project even more.

Myre Vol 2 is over 180% and met its fourth stretch goal! Wooden pins for everyone and more opportunities to further the project. Thank you ever so much for your support!

5 days to go till the campaign closes! Perks like "THE ENCOUNTER" and up will have your name printed in the book's acknowledgment section as a big thank you for making Myre a reality.

or, if you prefer PayPal: https://www.yriachronicles.com/myre-2
My shop still offers three of the limited SECRET FINDINGS of BOS COVA" slots. In case you missed out on that one, it comes with an original drawing in Yrian Lore inside of your book.

In case you missed it: I had a fun live hangout with Red Valkyrie on YouTube where we talked about Yria and answered questions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywo.....ature=youtu.be

Thank you so much again for all the love and support! <3

Since the other journal entry seemed a little bit confusing, here is another bump to refresh my page with the news!

In case you missed it, the crowdfunding campaign to help me make Volume 2 a reality has aired on July 1 and went through the roof within its first 36 hours!
I got some things cooking to make tiers even more interesting. They all definitely contain a ton of art and story. ;)

After the tale of Haunter of Dreams was completed, I am finally ready to continue my travels on Yria to tell Myre's story. And you can be a part of this big journey!

Myre has been a big part of my life since 2010, and it's always thanks to the wonderful support of a great community that enabled me to create Myre Vol 1 and Haunter of Dreams. Now is the dawn of the next plateau of Myre's life, and it will be bigger than before.
To make this big challenge a reality, I need your help so that I can focus entirely on breathing life into the characters and their world and create the next big book.

If you enjoyed reading Haunter of Dreams, or even Myre Volume 1, consider supporting me on Indiegogo and get limited, all exclusive perks as a big thanks to your generosity.

You can find my campaign on Indiegogo at: https://igg.me/at/Myre2

Thank you so much for your great support! <3

Dear friends,

I am really sorry for my silence and for breaking the Myre train with the BLM topic to show solidarity with the ongoing situation in the US. 

I've spent the entire past two days consulting peers and friends and didn't have the strength left to spread my thoughts further to get you informed about what has been moving me.
After a night's sleep over the entire situation, I made the decision to postpone the campaign of Myre 2 to the 1st of July. 

Yesterday was not a good time to make a full decision since I felt torn between two worlds and everything came crushing down at once. 

My voice is important now and I feel it's not the right time and place to self promote.
There are way more important matters to put focus on right now during these hectic times.
And I do hope for the best for everyone who is out there standing against injustice. 

What is more: I don't want to risk to try to take away the focus from more important matters with my works, while I currently also focus on solidarity.
It would intermingle with my project way too much also.  I have put too much love and effort into bringing it to what it is, and I want to invite you to this journey during a more healing time.

Besides, I made the decision for personal reasons also. I'm slightly burnt out. My soul hasn't had the chance to catch up. A day after the planned launching, my partner, whom I haven't seen for four months, would arrive to spend a week with us.
I would never have the full time for him while maintaining a running campaign. He was prepared for it in a selfless way.
So my decision to care for the communities and show my support is also one that will give me a chance to come to a rest for a short time, then start strong to make Myre an even better experience.
In the meantime, I will rest my mind and update you with more artwork soon.

Thank you so much for understanding. <3

In case you missed it. I am currently collecting funds which I will donate 100% to Black Table Arts for Black Communities as well as the George Floyd Family. If you can spread my post on Twitter further, it would be a great help!

Hey, everyone! Unfortunately, LBM 2020 (Book Fair in Leipzig) got cancelled due to Covid-19.
It's such a big shame that it was cancelled. It has always been one of my goals to getting invited there and do book signings. :/
To cover the loss for preparation and traveling, I decided to run a discount offer in my store.

Up to 31% off on copies of Myre and Haunter of Dreams!
All handsigned, too. :D

Thank you so much!

Hey everyone!

I've received many wonderful comments on my recent uploads and read them all. However, I dind't find a time slot to respond to you yet.
I want to let you know that I am being VERY grateful for all of your comments and that I will get back to them eventually.
So, keep commenting and sharing your thoughts with me. :)
Just right now, I have a mindblowingly busy schedule that I'm trying to get through.

If you have questions, you can always drop me an e-mail:
alectorfencer[at]googlemail.com

Don't contact me via notes.
I barely get to check them these days!

All the love,
Alector

I'm currently working on a bunch of art concepts for Myre and some other things which I hope I can litter you with more often. :)

I was at the brink of a burnout not too long ago and can still feel it linger around. But that has nothing to do with my projects, really. It's more real life events that devoured most of my energy. I just wanted to say thanks for everything and for sticking around for so long! Even if I don't often have the time to respond to all comments, I read and cherish them all. So, definitely keep them coming. :D Looking forward to sharing more worldbuilding and other artsy things with you.

Also, thanks a big ton for all of you who ordered Myre and HoD yesterday and today. I decided to add a small bunch of prints to every HoD order until next Friday. Just to avoid confusion as to why you suddenly got prints. It's not a mistake. Just my way of saying thanks. :)

Have a great weekend!

Eurofurence was a blast and I'm feeling so honoured that was chosen as their Guest of Honour this year. All the wonderful new connections I made with artists and everyone who had a chance to catch me during the busiest of times, made a thoroughly wonderful experience.
Thank you all who made it to my roundtables with Hella von Sinnen, my art and worldbuilding panels, and most of all, the panel where I had the chance to have two of my most valuable team members, Khaki and BluePanther, with me.

Haunter of Dreams debuted at the Dealers Den at Eurofurence. Many of my founders from my Indiegogo campaign also came to pick up their parcels and I received very valuable feedback in regards of the story too! I can't thank you enough for reading and experiencing Haunter of Dreams during the minimal time slots that a convention of this scope would offer.
I had an overall great time there. It was busy; many of you didn't get a chance to see me as I went from one place to the next. But it never felt as if someone got left out. This Eurofurence was the most empathic and familiar one I have ever experienced. We all came together as a great community and celebrated the 25th anniversary. A big thanks to all con ops, staffers and organizers who made this possible again.

During the rush of the convention and all the new experiences I made, I had something on my mind all the time. It was due to a notification by my German publisher who wanted me to deliver the formatted files for Haunter of Dreams by the beginning of September. It would have crossed my plans for shipping your perks. However, and that's the greater news here, I took the courage and postponed the date so that I can focus on shipping everything out to you very soon! :)

Today, I will set up the PDFs for the perk "Cotton Feet" to set the first goal of delivery. Next up will be the customization of the bookplates. If you have a special wish as to which name you would like me to write in Yrian script, please send me an e-mail. Otherwise I will take the first name that Indiegogo shows up first next to your claimed perk.

I will keep you updated throughout the progress of processing your orders. Right now, the first batch of packaging material is on the way to my home. Since our postal service has enforced a new law upon us regarding shipping, I need to give the first test shipments a little time. The packaging material is more solid than the previous one. It's more book-friendly too. So I'm looking forward to that as well. :)

In the meantime, I'm preparing for the big "pack-squad", which will happen in a very short time!
Thank you so much for your patience and support!

In case you missed my Twitter update where you can see unboxing videos of HoD and Myre, go check them out here:

https://twitter.com/AlectorFencer/s.....13390468087809

https://twitter.com/AlectorFencer/s.....14361126510592

https://twitter.com/AlectorFencer/s.....18974248574976

I still can't believe it! The colours are so brilliant, the print quality is sharp and the pictures of HoD have so much more quality than how we usually perceive art by looking at it through a monitor. That is why I love books so much. It's simply a different feeling.

We made it finally! Eurofurence is just around the corner.
If you happen to be at EF and you are one of the campaign contributors, please let me know here again WITH your order ID so that I can allot your order to your name. Best is to send me an e-mail: alectorfencer[at]googlemail.com
:::DO NOT send me DMs via FurAffinity or DeviantArt! I barely get around to check them. E-mail, Twitter DM or even Telegram is best as I'm getting notified about incoming messages.

Shipping your orders will take place after Eurofurence! Please keep an eye open for updates!

Much love and many thanks for your patience! <3

Hi everyone!

It's time! Today, Simone (the print company owner) called me stating that HoD and Myre are complete! The books will get delivered on Monday, and it will be a huge load! Four euro-pallettes, roughly 2 tonnes in weight! Wish us luck and strength!

We will make sure to document the unloading and packing. I was able to organise a couple of friends who will help me with the packing process. Shipping will be another great challenge since Germany twisted the rules and laws in regards of shipping internationally again. What was once a very easy and cheap task will turn out to be a big challenge for smaller businesses like me. But we might have found a loop-hole in the system that will make everything easier for us. Let's just hope that everything connects perfectly. I will keep you updated in regards to that.

I will let you know about the packing schedule very soon as well.
Since Eurofurence will be in 11 days, I won't be able to ship your order prior to that. It would be too huge of a task and impossible to manage. The risk of mixing up orders or failing to organise this endeavour would be too high with so much time pressure.

I want to make sure to take my time and be careful with the orders as much as I care for you.
I am super excited and can't wait to let you delve into Yria very soon!

I will open my store for Eurofurence pre-orders and regular orders very soon!
Thank you so much for the love and support!

Update: The wait for the books is long for me but it's just a couple of days that have passed since I gave the print company my "go" for the production. All extra prints such as cards and art prints are currently underway as well. So while production work is running, I am preparing everything for the commissions that came in via the campaign. So looking forward to making these come to life. There is still one "WANDERER of YRIAN PLAINS" slot left to grab! I will close it down completely once the campaign ended and won't be available again until my next campaign.

Things have been a bit crazy in the past few months. I'm still in the process of recuperating, all the while preparing for Eurofurence as best as I can. I hope to see you there!

I have decided to extend my campaign for another 15 days to give everyone the chance to hop into the names list of Great Supporters for my next project (obviously Myre 2) and to keep the low prices and free shipping worldwide up for the last days of the campaign. Make sure to grab your copies!

The perk "EX LIBRIS YRIA" is a special one which I actually forgot to announce as a limited offer. Once a perk is claimed on Indiegogo, I can't change any of the perk options through their system. Ex libris has been claimed about 60 times so far and some of my former supporters of the original Myre campaign were upgraded to this perk. An Ex Libris a decorative label posted inside the book. Since I have planned to make it look like an old piece of art that will hold your name in Yrian script, I went out yesterday and got myself a calligraphy set with ink to write your name onto it. This will be a lot of fun. :) I have limited these to 300. The bookplate, once I put the final design to paper, will also get numbered and signed by me.

The perk "WANDERER of YRIAN PLAINS" is the biggest perk by far and got two slots left to claim. Once the campaign ends, I will end the perk permanently until the next chance arrives. I really can't wait to work on these! Thank you so much for the generous support!

Together so far, this campaign reached 435 supporters! Together with the supporters from the first campaign, there will be many books to wrap! :)
