Tada, as timely as a train, here comes Chapter 56: A Spoke in the Wheel – enjoy!

A big warm thank you to this chapter’s two sponsors: NopiSoul and one who wishes to remain anonymous – I adore you both! ^.^

Finally, Chapter 55: Combined Assault is here!

Any Final Fantasy fans out there? I realized that I totally sniped my Panthera Drakes from these little darlings (but without the whiskers and with a more vicious-looking tail).

Btw, if you’re considering googling “abdomen wounds” to get inspiration for your own writing . . . don’t.

Surprise! I managed to get Chapter 54: The Lunar Trials done in time!
Many warm thanks to my sponsors T. Tran, Coldsnow and Hasenpelz for sponsoring this chapter ^.^

OBS editing underway…. and I need sleep so it will be done first thing in the morning instead

 

Here comes Chapter 53: Between a Rock and a Hard Place (#LongestTitleYet) – Enjoy!

Since it’s been six days since my last release it means that this is a regular chapter. I’m still in the middle of pre-exams so just like last time I will make no promises for there to be a sponsored chapter on the 8th but it is my intention to make it in time.

Howdy! Here is Chapter 52: Nailing It, that has been magnanimously (wonderful word that) sponsored by the wonderful M. Kolb, E. Manong and M. McNally!!!

A small heads up, it’s exam times again (my third to last, hopefully!) so even if the next chapter gets sponsored within the next 24h, I might opt for waiting with the writing of any extra chapters until after my exams…

Woop, woop – with Chapter 51: The Plot Thickens I’ve finally caught up with the chapter queue! A big thank you to all my sponsors, but an especially big thank you to B. Nichols for sponsoring this chapter!

In the previous chapter release, I started a poll concerning the age-range of the main characters and the results are in! A bare majority of you felt that it was good as it was (~54%) so I wont be doing any major changes right now. However, the margin was a slim one, so I will keep it in mind going forward ^.^ Thank you all for sharing your opinions with me and helping me improve my writing!

Finally, some of you may have noticed that I’ve made a Patreon account now – so, you prefer Patreon over Paypal check it out (note that it is possible to make monthly donations with Paypyal as well) ^.^

Would you look at that, just an hour late, I’m half way to one hundred chapters – huzzah! Here is Chapter 50: Confrontations – Enjoy!

This chapter’s wonderful sponsors are. . . T. Neely and hasenpelz!!!

On another note, I’ve been getting some comments that Raven’s friends’ reactions/reasoning might be a bit advanced for their age and I have to admit that they, at times at least, have a point. I think that I’ve justified this, so far, with the notion that while the soul of a spiritualist grows stronger, and their spirit connections they gain, allow them to perceive the world around them more clearly and subsequently helps them mature faster. However, this hasn’t really been made clear in a good way in the story…

So, there are few ways I could deal with this:

1. I could find somewhere in the novel where it fits to add my previous reasoning, to make it official.
2. I could make ‘age-shift’ in the story by extending the period Raven got with her family by perhaps two to three years and changing the age period one is supposed to attend Sky Academy to say ages 11-21, rather than 9-19.
3. I could leave it as it is, and just keep it in mind going forward.

If you have an opinion, please vote in the poll:

Here we go, Chapter 49: Recognition – enjoy!
The endlessly appreciated sponsor this time is . . . T. Neely!!! ❤

A little heads up – the chapter is a few (hundred) words shorter than usual but I promised a cliffhanger free chapter, and well. . . . I’ll compensate in the next chapter ^.^

Tada – Chapter 48: Familiar but Unfamiliar – enjoy!
This chapters most beloved sponsors are . . . M. McNelly and R.Kyne!!! ❤

Sorry guys, I had intended to make this chapter completely cliffhanger free but I ran out of both time and space (I have a 2600-3000 word/chapter goal). I’ll try harder next time 😉

Oh, right! As some of you know, I’ve been wallowing back and forth between “songstress” and “singer” for Raven’s second… third(?) … alias. After some comments on RR I chose Songstress but after writing this chapter and building up chapters to come I’ve decided to go back to Singer. It just works better for what I have planed. Sorry for the confusion.
