Fanart + Community Post
🕑 Added 2024-05-04 17:00:08 +0000 UTCFirst, we have a truly massive work of fanart commissioned by Argo the Ratfolk! This is one of the craziest pieces of fanart I've ever received as an author, so I hope people enjoy. It has given us Flower Girl Krikree, which is a blessed image. Non-dream Krikree would eat the flowers to determine whether or not they were food.
FYI, I am trying to plan a "free weekend" where I make all seven TWC books available free to prepare for the release of Deathseed. This has been successful for other authors, so I've been meaning to try it, but I want to do it right to have a shot at finding new readers. More on this later.
In an ideal world this wouldn't be necessary, but you can't make a career by just writing books and throwing them out there. So while this is one of the factors slowing down my work, I think it's necessary for my career.

Getting fanart has inspired me to focus on the community of readers for a bit. This Patreon itself is an option, but also consider Reddit or Discord if you use those:

We have a community-run wiki that, while not the biggest, has some surprisingly in-depth pages:

Finally, please follow me on Goodreads if you use that:

It's not particularly important, but it makes me look like a real author.
Cover reveal next week, I promise!

It's just fanart commissioned by a reader, I wouldn't take this as confirmation of anything.

I wasn't sure Senka was being set up to be Theo's love interest after she is restored, but this seems to confirm it.
Sarah Lin
I've described her body as artificial-seeming or doll-like in a number of ways, but haven't gone into detail on her joints unless I'm forgetting a detail. I approve of the idea, though, in terms of making it clear that Senka isn't a child.
Scott Goodrich
Are Senka's articulated mannequin joints described in the text, or are they just one of those things that assimilate into fanon? I've seen other fan arts with her drawn like that, but it's been a long time since I've read the earlier books.
