Hey man and I dunno if you allow story promotions on your message board, so I'll ask you this, could you please do me a favour regarding my main book?

ACNP000

@Phenics_X_Yuki_Lover so it was you who brought my follower count off of 69

@ACNP000 Yeah, AD is very, let's say, earnest, so I totally understand haha, cause I never knew you to be like that in a true capacity haha, I'm that Therian guy from a few years back, just, on another original story account, maybe you've noticed the similarities, I dunno, in any case man thanks, the only two things I know are, I tried, and you obliged me, the rest is up to your followers, thank you again for whatever the people decide it's worth.

@Phenics_X_Yuki_Lover I can make a post about it to everyone following me, but I can't guarantee anyone will listen. I made that first announcement that I was at 68 followers in jest and AD_Black just happened to respond.

One more week until Natural Magic releases
          
          Search for Helminverse on Amazon (or follow the link in the earlier publication announcement) to pre-order.
          
          And just a reminder: the proceeds for the first 230 books is going to charity. Those books will have a special thank you in the dedication!

Y'all
          
          I am one follower away from 69 followers.
          You know what to do.

I haven't made an announcement since early last year, but it was for a good reason.
          
          I'm publishing my first book on Amazon!
          
          Natural Magic: A Helminverse Novel is going live on January 29th, and both Kindle and paperback copies will be available for purchase. Most importantly, the proceeds for the first 230 copies sold will be donated to
          The Palestine Children's Relief Fund
          
          You can track our progress, or donate directly:
          https://give.pcrf.net/naturalmagic
          
          Learn more about PCRF:
          https://www.pcrf.net/about-us
          
          Big thanks to those of you who read the early drafts and helped shaped the final draft into what it is today. I learned a lot about writing, and I'm hoping to release the next book in 2027. There's a bonus chapter from which at the end of Natural Magic as a teaser.
          
          I won't drop a link to the Amazon page itself here, but I'm certain you can find it if that's your wish.

@ACNP000 From what I heard in the group and I think I'll like this book and I will do my part.

@AD_Black I hope it lives up to the hype lol 
            I'm relying heavily on word of mouth to get the news out, so tell your friends. Especially about the charity, PCRF is a good one, it's why I went with them.

@a_lee_en Seven hard rejections so far, but more queries out there.

ACNP000

@a_lee_en oh yeah, I'm fine. I just haven't been posting a lot on Wattpad. I'm not wholly certain Wattpad is my kind of audience. I'm still writing, but just putting less online. I'm trying to get my manuscript for Natural Magic published, too, lol

For my American followers, there's a lot of crap coming out of this administration. I urge you to read these executive orders and bills because, while yes they're scary, they're going to directly and negatively affect you or people you care about.
          
          I don't have any good news beyond this: there are other people in your corner, even if it doesn't feel like it. But it's on all of us to express our discontent. Form communities, get active, contact your representatives. Contact any representatives who will listen. Help one another. House members, congress members, judges, governors, mayors, even trump himself have means of being contacted.
          
          If you're on this site, there's a good chance you're a writer and a reader, so use these strengths to your advantage. Read about the changes. Write about them. Write to people who can affect change and to people who may not understand what's going on.
          
          Be the squeaky wheel, and don't comply in advance. It's only been three weeks since innauguration, and we've got four years ahead of us - only four if we're lucky.

@ACNP000 I'd also like to add this addendum.
            
            Despite social media having become the lifeblood of our private and public information systems, very few of them are secure. Anything from Meta (facebook, threads, whatsapp), the social media site formerly known as Twitter, Alphabet company owned properties (anything from Google).... All of these are in communication with federal groups.
            
            There are ways to protect your data, and much of it is inconvenient, like not putting it online in the first place. But I'd look into Signal, and if you're serious about privacy, Tor. End-to-end encryption is rapidly becoming a must-have for anyone among the demographics this adminstration is turning into casualties. LGBTQ, non-white, anyone with a uterus, you'll want to keep your data safe.
