Hello everyone,
I know it's been a while since I've been active on Webnovel, causing the chapters to progress slowly, and I apologize for that.
I saw a message from Trinity that seemed quite upset about this, and I think they don't understand why I've slowed down the publication of the chapters, so let me explain why; it might be clearer for you.
Recently, for the past few months, I've been trying to work on several fan fictions simultaneously. In order:
The first one, which you know, is Aegon Snow with a total of 166 chapters plus the prologue, making a total of 167 publications available in French and English (since my native language is French).
In addition to this story, there's one I started a long time ago and abandoned well before publishing Aegon Snow on Webnovel. It traces the life of a man reincarnated as a minor character in ASOIAF, Ronnet Connington. To date, I have rewritten and published 37 chapters plus the prologue, making a total of 38 publications (on Patreon, soon to be available on Webnovel).
I've also started a story in an Alternate Universe of House of The Dragon, where the main character is the legitimate son of Daemon Targaryen and Rhea Royce. I recently began this story and haven't gotten very far; I've only had time to write 14 chapters plus the prologue, making a total of 15 publications.
The last story is about a character reincarnated in the Marvel universe (mainly the MCU), and although I've written about 15 chapters so far, I've only posted 7 plus the prologue, making a total of 8 publications.
I was waiting to have a good base to publish stories on Webnovel, a reserve of at least 50 chapters per story on Patreon. But if you're interested or curious about my other works, I will seriously consider posting a few chapters very soon.
However, I won't be able to go as fast as I did initially because, due to complaints about the length of Aegon Snow's chapters, starting from chapter 145, if I remember correctly, I increased the average word count from 1,000 words (between 500 and 1,500 words) to an average of 2,000 words (between 1,500 and 2,500 words).
(Only for Aegon Snow for now, I will consider writing longer chapters for the other stories once we reach 100 or 150 chapters.)
The pace is complicated because of all the stories I'm writing right now, as well as all the fan fiction ideas that come to my mind every day, whether after reading a fan fiction, finishing a manga, watching an anime, or finishing a series.
Unfortunately, I'm not a machine and can't write as quickly as I'd like everything that comes to mind. (Although I have to admit that sometimes I dream about it.)
I try to do my best, but writing 4 stories simultaneously is much more complicated than it seems. For example, today, just to write a chapter of Aegon Snow, I spent 5 hours racking my brains. (This is no joke.)
Some days, I get lucky and have sudden inspiration that allows me to write 2,000 words very quickly in one or two hours when I'm focused. But other times, I spend the whole day staring at a blank screen, unable to write anything.
Before, I simply wasted my time, which discouraged me from writing, but eventually, I decided not to get blocked by writer's block. When this problem arises now, I simply switch to other stories.
As I said at the very beginning when I started writing, and I continue to say, with or without Patreon, I will continue to write because it is, above all, a passion. It's something that drives me every time I watch a series or read a book; it's compulsive, and I love it.
Unfortunately, I can't stop Patreon because it's my only income.
Aegon Snow and all the other fan fictions I will write in the future will eventually be completely public; this is a promise I made to you and intend to keep.
In an ideal world, I would be content with love and fresh water, as we say in French, but we don't live in such a world.
I thank you all for supporting me, whether by motivating me to write on Webnovel or financially on Patreon; you give me the courage to continue living while doing what I love in life.
I hope I've answered your questions and concerns, and I wish you a good day.
May your god bless you,
