Two updated lists, a comment poll, and a critical reminder about paying for Patreon!
🕑 Added 2025-11-21 16:18:13 +0000 UTCHey all! First off, I have once again been notified of a Patron DMing members of the r/Warformed community trying to shame them into backing this Patreon instead of asking questions on Reddit about the story and the like.
To that Patron: Since you were fool enough to use the same username on both Reddit and Patreon, enjoy the permaban. This will be the last Patreon post you ever have access to.
Guys, I am a horribly slow writer. I was before Wraithmarked, and it has only gotten worse since the company has gotten its legs. As such, I'm copying and pasting the message I put out last year on this subject:
I appreciate you all so much, and I love being paid for my work. BUT... do not pay for Patreon unless you are comfortable doing so (personally and financially both) AND you either want access to the materials there or want to support me passively. Don't let ANYONE bully you into paying.
Thanks everyone. Couldn't do this without you, and seriously love you all.
Onto the content!
NEXT WEEK:
New art from RakasaDemon coming Monday! New chapter coming next (probably Friday or Saturday)! Sorry it's a gap on this one, but unlike the con season I have been working on STORMWEAVER, it's just that my writing time the last two weeks has been spent gathering up the finalized first year roster, plotting out some of the next couple chapters (weird for me, I know), and (with your fantastic help) pulling together a list of the plot points I need to make sure not to lose track of over time!
Plenty of stuff coming next week, though!
THE POLL:
This is a simple one! As you all know I'm trying to increase the value of the Patreon this year, and that includes a lot of art from some TOP level people! We have a lot of Firesong art coming, but (including from the squad) I want to know:
WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE MORE ART OF/ART FOR THE FIRST TIME? I WILL BE COUNTING UP THE COMMENTS, AND COMMISSIONING SOME WORK IMMEDIATELY FOR THOSE CHARACTERS!
(Just keep in mind it takes time to get the final art, so commissioning now means they'll be coming in a few months)!
THE LISTS:
Got two things for you today. First, the improved first year list! For one thing, I somehow forgot that Class E existed. I'm SUCH a good world builder, I know 馃槅
I am still looking for feedback on this, especially from a sensitivity and inclusion standpoint, so if there are any thoughts on that add them to your comment about what character you'd like to see art of!
Second, the plot threads list is a bit more expansive! Take a peek, and let me know too if there's still anything critical missing that you don't want left hanging over the course of the series!
Love you all, and talk soon!

I love taking part in this patreon, but don't always have the income, so every 6mo-1yr I sign up, look at what all I've missed and read the new chapters that are out. I tend to miss out on giveaways and polls, but I get to support when I can and see some of the process.

I would love to see a continuation of the plot with siderov vs fire song and also how he鈥檚 loosing power due to his sister or somthin.

When Shido achieves sentience it will have a unique personality and ability to add to Rei鈥檚 firepower significantly I鈥檇 imagine. I feel like this is a key step and could happen soon to help manage all Rei鈥檚 features. I鈥檇 like to see a lot more around this. Also maybe von bor getting a chard and maybe becoming a queen class? Also looking forward to Logan鈥檚 evolution

Lasher, Sarah, Hiroto, and Sense are all ones I鈥檇 love to see
