Alright, "Encastra" is back up! But if I know Wattpad, I'm not counting on it being up for very long! So if anyone wants to give it a skim, then do so before it gets booted again!

I’m only a few chapters into Encastra but I’m enjoying it so far!! It’s so well written, you’ve put in so much thought and it’s paid off! I’m excited to continue reading and I can tell this book is going to engulf me!! So stoked!  keep up the good work and you’re so so talented with writing!!!!

I don't know if you accept reading requests of any kind, but if you would be so kind as to give my story a read, I would love to recieve your feedback! Especially since I just returned to the platform and am looking to make more writer friends.

Welp, it happened. Wattpad deleted "Encastra." Nearly half a million words gone in an instant. Not sure if it's worth appealing or not. Anyone have thoughts on what I ought to do?

TheSixthAstral

@jchara Yeah if you're ever in the mood to pick it back up, it'll be here! (Until Wattpad removes it again lol)

@Scanking7 I'm glad you've been enjoying my book so far my friend! I'll have the rest of it back up by tomorrow. Idk how long it'll stay up this time either! I have a feeling wattpad might just ban my account if I keep this up!

It is with great pleasure that I present to you the last chapter of Encastra. It all comes down to this. One last round of chaos. How many more lives must be taken before the mayhem comes to an end?
          
          Behold, the longest chapter of the entire book - this chapter clocks 17.6k words. Good luck and I hope you find the ending as satisfying as I did :)
          
          Thank you all so much for your support! I have so much to say, but I won't post it here - be sure to check out the bonus section once you've completed the tale! I began posting 6/28/22 - and at last, nearly a year later, the journey comes to an end.
          
          And although I won't be posting anything for a LONG time, get ready to see me catch up on some serious reading! Astral out!

@TheSixthAstral wooooooooooooo! Amazing work! That last chapter was an emotional rollercoaster. I hope you are pleased with how it turned out because it was fantastic to read even when it was grossing me out :p

@jchara Hey, thank you so much for all the support you've shown throughout the process! And thanks for the input! The book ended up being about 570,000 words lol. So I came just a BIT shy of my target.

@TheSixthAstral congrats on finishing this book. You had mentioned before that it would be close to 1M words. Did you hit that mark?
            I wish you all the best on whichever book you choose to write next. My vote would be for the 3rd one you listed below. 
            Take care!

Second to last announcement I make for a while!
          
          Proofreading is nearly complete - just adding some minor details while removing others. With this announcement, I wanted to share my long term plans for this series and get any feedback any of you may have :)
          
          Calista's story is a trilogy of 3 books I have mostly planned. However, if you've been keeping up, I've been trying to set up a "multiversal" epic. My plan is as follows:
          
          Girl 1 (Calista/Encastra) is a Forest Witch - a story that takes place in the 10th century. Superhero-esque trilogy.
          
          Girl 2 will be an Elemental Witch - a story that takes place in the 21st century. It will be kind of an alternate school drama/conspiracy trilogy.
          
          Girl 3's race is undisclosed. It will take place in the distant future - meaning hacking, computers, tech, etc. galore. Also kind of superhero-esque trilogy.
          
          So my question to you is this - to anyone - even to those who haven't had a chance to read my work, but still follow me: What would you recommend I do next? Work on Calista's Book 2? Or take a break from medieval stuff and begin Girl 2's story? Or Girl 3's? Thoughts? Concerns? Opinions? All are welcome! :)
          
          I know this was a long one, but if you made it this far, I appreciate any thoughts you might have to share. The final chapter will be posted in a few hours!

TheSixthAstral

@Sableandred Thank you for your input! So far I've got one vote for Girl 2 and one vote for Girl 3. Yikes...
            
            And thank you for reading it all the way through! So glad you enjoyed it :)

@TheSixthAstral I've been waiting to comment on this until I finished the last chapter because I wanted to know how I'd be feeling/ what happened and I think you gave me enough of an ending I'd be interested to learn more about the 2nd girl. I like a good conspiracy and modern stories. If you left on too much of a cliffhanger I'd only want Calista, period. I want book 2 but I'm curious to see your writing in a different 'world' lol. I keep saying it but congratulations on finishing the book it was magnificent.

As I sit down and begin to proofread the final chapter of this book,  a weird mix of accomplishment and sadness kind of overwhelm me. Accomplished, obviously for completing this project - but sad because I have nothing else to upload for the foreseeable future.
          
          I'm sad because I know there are some of you that genuinely want to continue reading the adventures of Encastra - yet I have absolutely nothing written down for book 2. And by the time I finally begin uploading again, my readers will have either moved on or lost interest. This, of course, I respect 100% and fully understand as I would probably do the same thing myself.
          
          Although I won't be uploading anything for a while, I will continue to support the works of my fellow authors on this site! In fact, I'm extremely glad that I will be able to commit some genuine reading time to works/series that I have been reading spottily or have paused on. In that regard, be ready to see a bunch of comments from me on your works!
          
          I will probably post another announcement tomorrow once I've finished proofreading with some last remarks about this book. For those of you who have given "Encastra" a chance, I truly thank you. This final chapter is dedicated to all of you :)
          
          The last chapter will be available Friday, June 23rd.

@HaylSnow Sounds good! Is it already complete or is it ongoing?

@TheSixthAstral if you haven’t watched overlord you should, it’s another one that waits x years between seasons but (personal opinion) it’s one of the best anime’s I’ve watched. I finally have a day to myself this upcoming weekend so I plan to get some serious reading done!

The identity of the last Jester has been revealed. 
          
          And now, Calista will be shown everything that has led up to this moment. From the moment she embraced her powers till now, the time has come for the entire system to be explained. And finally, Calista will learn what her role is in this world.
          
          I present, the penultimate chapter of this book - Chapter 47: The Sixth Jester.
          
          (As a side note, this chapter was one of the most difficult I've ever had to write. Turns out, trying to tie up 46 chapters into one is a tedious job. This chapter is a puzzle that comes together - but only if you remember what the pieces were lol. If you get confused about anything, please feel free to comment on the chapter and I will try to clarify with Sixth Astral powers who observes and knows all about this universe lol)
          
          15k words.

@Sableandred Thanks! This chapter was starting to get way too convoluted even for me lol, so I'm glad you were able to follow along with it!

@TheSixthAstral you did an amazing job of tying things up. Seriously I think I followed it pretty well and you mixed the explanations in with enough action to keep it flowing. Nice work!!
