Just for anyone who is following along with my postings, please bear in mind that I have indeed added a new chapter: Arrival at an Empty Haven, but in the grand scheme of the plot, it fit better before Amidst the Shadows of Reprieve. Please bear this in mind, but please enjoy the new chapter!

I've been proactively checking my Engaged Reader count, and I can't be happier that Servitude is being seen, even if it's just a few. Whoever you dedicated readers are, I am grateful and hope that I can keep all of you engaged from start to finish!
          
          From the chapters I have been working on, things are starting to heat up as we draw closer to the conclusion of The Hydrangea Chapters. I presume that the chapters I currently have are about 3/4 of the way, with an ending that I hope will leave you all petrified with shock.

Good morning, readers!
          
          I'm aware that I haven't spoken much through posts and the like, as I just never know what to say. This is why I'm not in a promotional profession. 
          
          Although I have been posting my chapters somewhat regularly for some months, there is still a lack of activity or buzz. I have realized that it's not just the story itself that helps gain engagement. 
          
          I want to try to interact more with those who have read my work, even if it's only been a few chapters. I'd like to hear from you about whatever you can come up with in response to what you've read, such as maybe who's your favorite character, or any foreshadowing theories that tickle your brain. 
          
          As I mentioned in my profile description, I am new to this and would be more than happy to receive some feedback. Perhaps I'll start posting pictures of the characters, though AI certainly hasn't done me much favors in capturing just the right look through my many attempts. 
          
          I'm aware that my chapters during the early months were... rough, which could also be in part of the lack of engagement. Over the past couple of months, I have carefully edited all my chapters to help them flow much more smoothly, and also changed a few minor details that will ultimately benefit the story in the long run.  And as far as I know, there is no notification about such things on the reader's end, just mine. If you had read some chapters some time ago and turned away from the desperately needed rework, I implore you to give them another read. 
          
          I was thinking of doing a Q&A, though I'm not sure at what milestone. 50 followers maybe? 
          
          Anyway, let's hope that being a bit more personable with you, readers, will raise engagement and give Servitude a bit more attention, and gain some insight from you.

Hi
          
          I hope you're doing well! I'm Clementine  an artist and graphic designer with a love for character illustration. I've been following your work for a while and really admire your storytelling and the creativity you bring to everything you do  it's genuinely inspiring.
          
          I’d love to explore the idea of a paid collaboration where we could blend our skills and create something unique together. I truly believe that combining our strengths could lead to something meaningful and impactful for both our audiences.
          
          If you're open to it, I’d be super excited to chat more and bounce around some ideas.
          
          Looking forward to hearing from you!
          
          Warmly,
          Clementine
