Happy new year, dear readers! I don’t usually like to take up anybody’s precious time with anything that isn’t more story, but I just wanted to take this opportunity (new year!) to say thank you.

As of last week (on Christmas day, no less!), the Katalepsis Patreon is at exactly $1000 per month.

This is an incredible milestone and I simply cannot thank you all enough. I know I’ve said this before at other points, but I never imagined my little story about a group of disaste...
