FAQ
When will this release?
Whenever I finish my final revision, which should be around October of 2024! I have been working on this novel for about 9 years (with some breaks) so there is a lot to work through.
How long will it be?
Currently estimating about 450k words (roughly 1,800 pages), split between three volumes.
Will all three volumes release at once?
That's the current plan, but if there are delays I may settle on publishing one by one!
What will it be rated?
As a whole, it will be rated 17+ for mature themes, violence, and explicit sexual content.
Can I make fanworks for this?
Yes! For more detailed info on permitted use, visit the, copyright guidelines page
Will it be available internationally?
YES! That's the current plan - I will be using both Amazon and IngramSpark's global distribution for all formats, which should include most international Amazons, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones/Blackwell's, and more! For countries more difficult to reach, I might also open my own online shop to ship worldwide with USPS, depending on demand.
Will it be anything like your fanfiction?
For those who are coming from my AO3: this is written very differently, though of course I'm sure some similar trends may be recognized :)
Can I get an advance copy?
I may give partial copies of the final draft to a very limited number of people. If you are interested, let me know and I will make note of it!
Will there be an audiobook?
Not currently planned due to costs! I am funding everything for this book myself :)
How come you talk in all caps sometimes?
THAT IS HOW I USUALLY COMMUNICATE ONLINE (IM SORRY) BUT IM BEING SO NORMAL RIGHT NOW SO THIS CARRD CAN LOOK SLEEK AND COOL. ISNT IT COOL
Content WarningsThis story occasionally deals with heavy topics! I've made a list and tried to keep it spoiler-free. If you'd like to go in completely blind, you can forgo checking. Feel free to contact me for anything not listed or further explanation of any topic listed :)
Age Rating
There is no standard publishing system for age rating of books. I would personally recommend this book for ages 17+ due to heavy subject matter and explicit sexual content, but this is only a recommendation. Use discretion and the content warnings provided when deciding whether to begin or continue reading.However, interaction with the social media accounts for the book should generally be limited to 17+ users only!This book is not well-suited to be categorized as Young Adult literature.Does it have a happy ending?I recommend going in blind, but if you are someone who needs to know whether the story has a happy ending, click here!
Yes, it's a good ending—but of course, there's a lot of bad before you get there!
Rievaulx Abbey from the East Front, by William Richardson
