If it wasn't obvious from how the last post ended, yeah, that's the ending. At 12 chapters and ~36k words, it's the longest single story I've written so far. To everyone who followed it the whole way through, thank you!
I'm not gonna say I'll never write a sequel series or something, but for now my loose collection of ideas about "what comes next" for everyone hasn't resolved into a satisfying story arc. On top of that, I want to put more of my writing energy into the RPG I'm making. As a result, I'm really gonna try to keep anything else I'm posting in the flash fiction range of word counts.
We'll see how that goes. I can't be trusted not to chase whatever catches my fancy at any given point in time.
And hey, if you wanted to toss some money my way as thanks, I did get laid off last month, and I'm struggling to find a new job: Here's my Ko-fi.
