Riku Kira

Hi, my little post-Christmas celebratory compatriots! How's everybody doing this Dec 26? Of course, if you remember, I teased a special announcement for today and I thought on my original decision for a long time. But in the end, I decided that my original idea was NOT worth it so here's my backup announcement in three acts.
          
          So here it is:
          
          1. I'll be taking a small, itty bitty hiatus starting next week and will end on Jan 11 to handle any post celebration and pre starting semester woes. And then my percentage of successful uploads will increase by 15%, I hope. I'll still respond to messages and comments, but no publishing.
          
          2. Although this isn't 100% confirmed, I plan to publish my first Tapas web novel in early summer to early fall. Like I said, my main issue is finding an affordable way to make covers without using "generative AI"; I got several story plots already picked and written halfway through. If enough of you guys want it, after my hiatus, I'll give little plot summaries and title drops of my upcoming web novels. DO. NOT. SEND. ME. EMAILS. ASKING. FOR. COMMISSIONS. PLEASE. I will block you! Do not test me right now! I swear to--!
          
          3. I don't know if anyone knows but...Riku Kira isn't my real name. Dun dun dun! Okay, but seriously Riku Kira isn't my only handle and WattPad isn't the only writing sites I'm on. This is just the more active sites. After my hiatus, I'll give you all the links to those accounts because after spring, I'm planning on being semi-active on those sites again. I know, I know, ambitious but I feel like this is the right thing. 
          
          Thank you for your continuous support, guys! As this year comes to a close, I really appreciate you guys not only for your likes and comments, but also your heartwarming advice and presence. I hope all of you have a great life in 2026! Thank you. See ya in January!

Merry Christmas, everyone! Special oneshot will be released by 8-9 p.m.! Comment your plans below! Happy a wondrous day! 

Tick tock, tick tock...Almost time for some true holiday poppycock...
          
          Sorry, tried to rhyme that, but less than 6 hours til midnight and Christmas morning. Can't wait. Had to do a countdown post.

Hey, y'all! I don't know how many of you are astronomy or astrology experts or even care, but happy Winter Solstice a.k.a. the first OFFICIAL day of Winter. Hooray! Yeah! 

Hello, my little cattywampus cucumbers! The newest episode of TADC was a wild one, huh? No wonder GLITCH said it would be controversial, right? But more importantly, I forgot to post this earlier, but I'm officially off school 'til late January, and my grades? ...Mixed, at best. And weather has definitely gotten colder; it's literally 17F outside right now and it's not even snowing!
          
          Still, less than three weeks until the end of the year and the start of winter (I go by solstices and equinoxes for seasonal changes, you semantical weirdos who think first snow is the start of winter) is next week. But I hope everyone is having a great, chilly day.
          
          Oh, and happy Hanukkah! Or at least happy Hanukkah at sundown. I'm not Jewish, but inclusivity is my middle name.  
          
          Update over. Have a good day!

Hiya, my winter wonderfuls! One week left of college before a peaceful winter break til late January! Hooray, hooray! Which means I may get more time to actually do everything on the schedule! Maybe. But still, soon I'll be off school!

Hello, my Vampigamis! It's the first day of the last month of the end of this year! This is TRULY a momentous occasion for every who had a successful year or at the very least good reviews and likes on your stories! Comment on any plans for December that you can say you can successfully round out the year with or any New Year's resolutions down below.

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all! Comment your plans and traditions down below for this bountiful holiday!

Hiya, peeps! Sorry for not publishing this week, I had to sign up for spring registration and take care of some last-minute finances for college. About three weeks to go. But there's another matter that has distracted me for a while now--I was thinking of...joining the Tapas community. I've been inactive on several other creative sites for a while and been wanting to go back to them for a while (not telling names so I don't get spammed), but I want to do some original works (novels only) on Tapas, see if I can make a real impact in my writing and maybe make some additional scratch for college.
          
          It's ambitious, but I promised myself to be better and up my confidence. But just one problem--I'm not an artist and I can't afford a commission. And they say you can use Canva for the book cover and thumbnail and etc., but I've never used Canvas and generative AI isn't technically allowed. So some helpful tips from those who actually used the site would be great?

Hiya, my Furies and Grendiapers!
