November 13th Necroepilogos chapter will be delayed by one week — but, readers will get an extra chapter in the future.
Hello everyone! I’ll try to keep this short.tl;dr version: Due to a very silly scheduling screw-up on my part, I’m going to delay this week’s Necroepilogos chapter, even though I really don’t want to do so. However! To make up for this, sometime in the next few weeks, I will publish two Necroepilogos chapters at once.That’s pretty much it! I’m fine, nothing is wrong behind the scenes, please don’t worry.If you want a longer explanat...

Maidens of the Fall, announcement post!
Octavia Carter hates magical girls.Too bad for her. Now she’s one of them.Octavia blames magical girls for the collateral damage that killed her parents and left her disabled. She resents their power as figureheads of the state, beyond reproach, beyond revenge. She hates their necessity; magical girls, young women chosen by the Dream-Gods of Earth, are the only ones who can turn back the Nightmares that creep through the open wound in reality, ...
