Wrap-up and the next adventure

The final word count for Mensura College: Saida & Autumn as posted is 78,375, which makes it far and away the longest macrophile story that I've written. (Only one non-macrophile work of mine beats it.) Other than the week between Christmas and New Year's, I believe I posted something every Wednesday since the serial started: usually a new chapter of the serial, but also two "bonus holiday stories" and, if I recall correctly, one article. So yay!

Now, though, it's time to regroup.

I have housekeeping to do. I need to make a list of what needs to get done for the ebook version of Saida & Autumn, including some art. (I'm sorry I failed to get art commissioned during the serial itself; I'm getting good at managing my own time, but not that of others, apparently.) I may do an ebook re-release of Goddess with the Christmas story appended. Folks who supported me at the $9/month level will automatically get copies of that, along with copies of the serial ebook once it's finished. And, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I want to think about revamping the rewards/tiers.

So my tentative plan is that May will be a, hmm, relaxed month around these parts. I don't want the Patreon to go dark, but I want to give myself room to get infrastructure in place. My goal is posting updates and hopefully an informal article or two. If it turns out I don't have anything meaningful to post in May, I'll "pause" the Patreon, so supporters don't get charged on June 1.

Last but not least, as promised, I do have a Patron thank-you page on my web site. If you don't want to be listed there or want to be listed under a different name, drop me a note here.

(P.S.: Yes, the full title of the serial is Mensura College: Saida & Autumn, and yes, that means my idea is to return to Mensura for other longer stories in the future.)
