Hey everyone! It’s time for a monthly update, and I’ve got some exciting news to share as we close out the year. Let’s dive in! 1. New Fanfic Incoming! I’m thrilled to announce that I have a new fanfic in the works to wrap up 2024. This will be my Sword Art Online story, a remake of the very first fanfic that started it all for me. I’m planning to begin uploading it in late November. This will be my fourth fanfic this year (a personal record—woohoo!), and it’ll be a shorter story, more in line with the length of my Genshin Impact fanfic rather than the longer ones like Pokemon or Touhou. 2. Speaking of Touhou… The buzz around my Touhou story has been incredible! I’m so grateful to everyone who read and enjoyed it. Many of you have asked me the big question: “Will there be a sequel?” Now, this is a question I get for almost every story I write. My usual response is, “If there’s demand and I have a solid idea, maybe.” But honestly, I’ve never been much of a sequel writer. They often draw less attention, feel like retreads, and I usually prefer to move on to fresh ideas. However… I’ve decided it’s time to shake things up. 3. The Forbidden Knowledge Trilogy – It’s Happening! That’s right—a sequel is officially in the works for the Forbidden Knowledge Trilogy! I’ve actually been working on the second volume for a while now, and the story grew so big that I decided to split it into two volumes. Volume 2 will release next month. Volume 3 is planned for next year. This marks the first time I’ve ventured into official sequels outside of my Hourglass Universe, and I’m really looking forward to exploring this new territory. Without spoiling too much, I’ll tease this about Volume 2: the story will heavily revolve around Witch Hunts. Feel free to speculate! Expect new twists, fresh artwork, immersive music, and a whole new chapter in the journey. With this trilogy on the way, who knows? Maybe some of my other stories will start to get sequels next year, too.

@Cryptic_Fiction That's a pretty good reason I'm glad you are enjoying writing it as much as we are reading it. You've got our full support

@bulldogpants It's simply been the story I've enjoyed writing in a very long time. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed my other stories but this was my favourite. And even though it was my worst performing fanfic (Fully expected that due to the niche) and I'm prepared for the sequels to perform just as bad of worse I don't care. I really want to write more stories in the Touhou series and I have really cool ideals for both new stories of witch hunts and the outside world
