Enclave Post Mortem and Thoughts Going Forward

Well. That was a trip.

First of all, if you stuck around, thank you for letting me tell a thriller/whodunnit in the middle of what has been mostly a progression fantasy story. It was a lot of fun. Still, I’ve learned some lessons:

— Arcs this long aren’t the greatest for web-serial format

— Self-contained mysteries are /hard/ to write.

You’ve probably gotten an inkling of what Monarch is now between the three arcs I have written. I’m trying my best to approach each arc like a self-contained novel, with some mild genre shifting in between. There will be arcs that end on a high (everwood) and arcs that end on a low (enclave, sort of), but I’m going to do my best to balance them so we don’t swing too far in either direction.

I have much more straightforward plans for the next arc. A lot of reader favorites will be back in a big way, and though I don’t want to give away what sort of an arc it is, if you liked the first few arcs, I’m pretty sure you’ll also like this one.

Thanks for reading.
