Best Of

What's going on over on Manawaker's Patreon these days? I'm glad you asked.

Recycled Comics has ended, but I'm putting that time into working on a new multi-path, sci-fi novel Escape from Spincity XX and patrons are getting a sneak peek at the entire creative process behind it, including outlines and drafts and conceptual updates. It's a long-term project and Patrons are getting a close-up view of the whole process.

The Podcast: Manawaker Studio's Flash Fiction Podcast is still going strong (though it's currently between seasons) (and it's not on YouTube anymore. That turned out to be useless.) and Patrons get every episode a couple days early. If you haven't heard of it: I buy great stories from authors around the world, and read one each week. The stories range widely in flavor, but tend toward sci-fi, and are often chosen for being particularly good read-aloud stories. Season Six begins in February.

Also: Manawaker has a public Discord server now, since I find it easier to post updates there instead of on the Patreon page all the time (which I reserve mostly for actual content, rather than news or updates), and there is a special section there which is only open to Patrons, though anyone can join for general discussion: https://discord.gg/c5Ee4kXSpB

Finally, and perhaps most exciting presently: I'm going to be giving my patrons a Xmas present this year: a new flash fiction story every day for twelve days starting on Xmas. They won't all be holiday themed, but they will all be fresh and new flash stories.

If you'd like to read those stories, or take advantage of the other benefits of membership, or if you just would like to support my creative endeavors, please check out the Patreon page here.

It's still only a dollar a month to subscribe to Manawaker on Patreon, and after losing a lot of support during pandemic time, I would really appreciate if you would at least consider becoming one of my patrons. If not, that's okay, it would also really help if you mentioned it to others, or recommended the podcast to people. It can be found anywhere you find podcasts, including over on Spotify.

If you still feel generous after that, you could leave me some reviews! It's free and it's very helpful, as none of the recommendation algorithms will recommend my stuff unless it's being reviewed by other users. Spotify doesn't have a review system, but you can review the podcast on Apple Podcasts or in your podcast app. You could also submit a review for one of my books that you've read over on Amazon. That would be sweet.

Thanks, Icrontic, for all the support over the years. The more encouragement I get from friends and fans, the more I want to create, and the more money I get for my art, the better I can make it.
