Messengers: What content do you want in June?
Added 2021-06-17 04:16:58 +0000 UTCExactly what it says on the tin. I'm asking what you want to see in June. There's a poll attached to the post.
Before I explain further, I'd also like to hear any preferences for the behind-the-scenes content. I'm planning to make a spoiler-light post about the Heretic Spellblade characters, plus some editing notes on the past books. But let me know in the comments if you have specific things you'd like to see.
For June, the main options for exclusive content are whether you want to see a deleted or alternate scene from one of my big series, or a story related to them. I also want to know whether you want something from Demon's Throne or Heretic Spellblade.
Feel free to mention in the comments any ideas for stories you'd like to see. Unless there's a strong preference otherwise, I'll likely write something from another character's PoV.
Note that deleted scenes aren't always fully written - they might sometimes be alternate scenes of what happened in the book. Often I have scene outlines that don't get fully written for various reasons.
I do have some ideas for mini-serials in future months. One is a story from the perspective of a farmer watching Rys's rise to power in Demon's Throne. Another is a parody of Heretic Spellblade, where Nathan uses the Messengers like pokemon and curbstomps everything.
In the future, I'll make this post near the start of each month, unless there is pre-planned content. I have plenty of story ideas, so don't feel pressured to comment.

For a short story idea it might be interesting to see how Sen and Sunstorm meet this time around

2021-06-17 15:06:05 +0000 UTCI’d love to see a story that featured Ciana. Even though it fit the story, I was a bit disappointed that she wasn’t in book 2 at all.

2021-06-17 14:27:52 +0000 UTCFair point about focusing on expanding the worlds. If I do a story, my current thoughts are to fill in some of the blanks between books and focus on one of the girls. Like something about Sen and how she's dealing with her issues, or how Narime's fitting into things. There are also historical events from both timelines, and the pasts of various characters, but those involve less of the cast.

2021-06-17 09:45:29 +0000 UTCA map of Doumahr would be nice. The mini-serials sounds interesting too. For other content I could think of artworks for the main characters or covers for now.

2021-06-17 05:58:33 +0000 UTCSo for the current me, I'm leaning towards Heretic Spellblade solely because it's a larger world with a story that I'm more invested in for now. Things might change when more of Demon Throne gets released but we'll see. As for voting between a deleted scene vs a new story, it'll honestly have to depend on what the contents are. Nothing comes to mind so far but I'll let any suggestions stew for a bit. That said, my recommendation would be to go for something that adds to the world, story or characters, instead of a completely different universe where Nathan curbstomps everything. For example, if you want to write a chapter about overpowered Nathan, due one of "past" timeline when Nathan is saving nations with his group of trigems.
