Hi Pandouro! I was rereading Goda's Slave and was wondering if you were working on a new project or restarting the project of Goda's Slave as you previously mentioned in a post
          Happy new year! :)

OwOHades

@pandouro I'm glad to hear you're planning things for the future! I love your writing and how you describe the world the characters live in! 
            I think it would be cool if you serialized it and saw how it goes, I don't think people would mind waiting, honestly as long as I know the authors haven't abandoned the series I'll keep waiting as long as it takes XD
            Thanks to you for answering, I didn't know you had notes on the Goda's Slave universe I'll check them out :)!

@OwOHades Happy new year! In short...yes. :) I have been making some progress slowly on Goda's Slave, but have been mostly quiet about it since I don't want to post inconsistently and leave people hanging, ya know. Also been making some major edits, partly based on feedback from y'all and partly just from the perspective that comes with re-reading a lot of what I wrote back then. Some of the political satire that I played around with in Goda's Slave became...a little too real in these past few years, so I have been thinking about how I feel about it lol.
            
            As for other projects, I decided to take Akasha's Heart in a different direction than initially intended and have been writing some notes about it lately. I am not sure yet what to do with this story, whether to serialize it like I did with GS (which was an experiment), or just wait until I have something finished.
            
            Part of the challenge is that these are somewhat open-ended stories and are meant to actually intersect with each other. For me, the world-building was a major factor, and I feel like there is potential for other stories in this universe. Not sure if I linked to it here, but I actually posted public notes about the universe of Goda's Slave on my site: pandouro.com/godas-lore
            
            Going forward, I am still kind of contemplating how to approach this, especially since my daily life is different than it was when I started the story. But once I get back into the swing of things, I will let everyone know. Thanks for stopping by!

Hey it's me again 
          Still somewhere in space.
          Been a while and I just found out that the direct messages feature has been removed.
          Anyways happy pride month

pandouro

@Elven-Born Happy pride! <3 Yeah, I have a feeling they got rid of it because it's costly to filter all the spam, but that's just my theory. (Same reason I disable wordpress comments on my website by default.) Siiiiigh.

Hi. Oml, when your book (Goda's slave) was recommended to me, I didn't know I'd be going on one hell of a journey. Honestly, wtf did you drink when you wrote the book? Did you suddenly see the spirits? Because let me tell you, your book is ethereal.
          I couldn't comment because I was offline but I found myself so drawn into the story that I forgot all about it.
          There aren't that many good books on Wattpad anymore but this? I'm surprised it's not even premium yet.
          You honestly gotta give me what you drank because... It's just that good.
          I'm off to read the next of your work. Have a wonderful day/night.

@chigirlsfantasy Thank you for reading, and I appreciate the kind words! (Oh and I drink copious amounts of plain green tea when I write, but otherwise it's just my overactive imagination...mostly. )

You have truly out done yourself with Goda's slave... omg. This book has been so hard to put down. I've cried I've smiled I've laught love dreamed I've question life. Wow what a freaking read. I've been searching for a book like this for years. I mean it years and I finely found it. I'll be sticking around to diffently see when you finish this work of are. If you need help with drawing a map of the land in this story please feel free to ask ... wow this is heavly good

pandouro

@RainbowMrsOwl Thank you for reading, it means a lot! And thank you for the offer of drawing a map, it is something I have considered before when I restart the project, since the environments/geography in this story was meant to take on a character of its own in a sense.

@Mercreader My emoji snakes aren't showing up, so I guess I will just have to say thanks for reading! Indeed, maybe it is time to surrender to some serpents. ^_^

Hey!
          I don't mean to interrupt your resting or anything, but....................... Is that the end of Goda's slave?! If not, uhhh, when are we gonna get the other chapters(ಥ_ಥ)

AmiraPSalawe

@pandouro yayyy! (About the book). But hey, take as much time as you need. No one wants a good book turn crappy cause of a crappy mental state. You should take all the time you need¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@AmiraPSalawe *thunder claps* WHO DARES AWAKEN ME FROM MY SLUMBER?
            
            Hehe, just kidding, I'm always happy to see comments. ^_^
            
            But to answer your question, Goda's Slave is intended to continue. This chapter is not meant to be its end; it actually has a specific ending that I was building up to and trying to weave together when...well, lots of stuff happened in my life, kind of all at once.
            
            So I had to take a really long break from writing for various reasons and I'm still kind of figuring out how I should re-approach it. Not sure if I can safely give an ETA for when I will update at the moment, but this story has a special meaning to me and I plan to stick it out until it is done, even if it takes longer than expected.
            
            Thanks for checking in, though!

Just read through Goda's slave and I don't know what to say. I am in awe of you writing all the same but the way the serpents were used in my story, they had my head reeling. Goda too, her ambiguity was enticing and yet head hurting. It's my first time reading such a story and I was enamored and confused all the same. Enamored, that the flow was fluid and there was humor and darkness all the same. Confused and more in awe about how did you even write this. Kudos to you!

pandouro

@Erzadragneell Thank you for reading! Your words of encouragement mean a lot, and I'm always happy to hear that the story has left an impression. ^_^

How to you come up with the book covers? They are beautiful!

pandouro

@Reader65743 Thank you! The cover art is made up of public domain images actually. I use software like GIMP, Pinta, or Canva to modify the images, add text, and put it all together into a cover. The fonts are free, too, so I would say that the Creative Commons did most of the work for me ahead of time!  (I get most of my images from Pixabay, btw.)

@BreeAmore Thank you for reading and following the story all this time, it really means a lot. Sorry for the lack of updates; I am okay, just been going through a lot of life changes, including some medical stuff, which makes it more challenging to focus on writing. However, I have been working on the ending to GS on and off, and my intention is to post all of the ending chapters all at once so that I don't leave people hanging again, haha. I don't know for sure when it will be done, but I do intend to finish it. Have a great day as well!
