Guidelines for the TFS Patreon Alpha Content! ✨

Hello Returning Visitors,

I hope you’re excited as I am! 🥰 Our first Book Two alpha drop (May 13th) is only a few days away, so I wanted to create a post about what’s in store for you along with some guidelines.

• Alpha Drop Access

There will be be a pinned post at the top of the TFS Patreon that will tell you about the current alpha drop for seasoned patrons. (Sadly, I can't hide the post by time as a member, so only the intended patrons see it. It's a shortcoming of Patreon's system. However, these posts are a great way to see what's in store for you in Book Two! :D) A distributed link will take you to a website that lets me host the code for Book Two; it’s very similar to the version of TFS: Book One you downloaded. I know some of you may be more familiar with it than others, so please reach out to me with questions!

Patrons who have offered continued support gain access. I stagger access to the alpha by loyalty/tier; this means not everyone receives what's in the pinned post. It is a function of time. I’ll be using a DM on Patreon to ensure you get your deserved access when the time’s right. Thank you! 💚

• Secrecy

There will be a password shared with you as well. 👀 I made a little scene for you within the alpha content to enter it in, but it only takes a second and then you can progress to building your MC (if necessary) along with enjoying the new content.

I’m incredibly grateful for your support and love for Fernweh! I’ve put many hours into this story to build its world and interlocking mysteries, so remember that this new content is naturally very spoilery to the series. It’s meant for you as a patron. Chatting on TFS Discord or in the post’s comments is welcomed, but please don’t share what you have read elsewhere. (If you haven’t yet linked your Discord to your patron account, consider checking out this article about how to do so: here.)

The Fernweh Saga is a thriller, so it being compromised kind of ruins (my heart) the story.

Further to that point, please let me know if you see the link/content being leaked somewhere.

• Feedback

First and foremost, it’s my hope you enjoy the alpha drop content—exploring the scenes, talking to other TFS patrons, crafting theories, agonizing over which choice to pick, etc. 🥰

If you wish to provide feedback, feel free to share it with me in the comments or via email (lacunafiction@gmail.com).

Since this is the alpha version of Book Two, it is subject to change if I need to alter content prior to the final release. Keep in mind the achievements are not included yet. I add those at the end.

I might update this post later on if there’s a need to, but those are the main logistics/guidelines.

I can’t wait for you all to continue your travels in Fernweh! 🌲💚
