It's been a while since we had a vote for different POVs. It's something I want to bring back, at least once a quarter.
You can vote multiple times, the highest scored characters for each series will get a POV chapter over the next few months. These are typically 1-3 chapters.
I may also be rolling out a Patreon exclusive bonus POV for both series as well. 2025-10-03 20:39:49 +0000 UTC View Post
