Behind the Scenes: 2023 in Review
🕑 Added 2023-12-31 07:17:12 +0000 UTCAs we come up on New Year's Eve tomorrow, I can't help but think of everything that's happened in 2023 and what a wild ride it's been. Catgirls exploded this year, and it's all thanks to you guys.
In January and February, we launched and succeeded in funding Volume 1 on Kickstarter...
That led to the enormous expansion of merchandise available for multiple characters! Together with Maon, Kukiwi, and Kiora, we created multiple Bell coin metals, stickers, keychains, hard enamel pins, acrylic pins, washi tape, and more!
Then production began on eBooks, Paperbacks, and Audiobooks...
Thanks to the hard work of GBSArtworks, Chros-Xerox, Cat LaCroix, E.S. Marlowe, Rock, and my awesome team of beta readers, we created a killer ebook, a mesmerizing audiobook, and a paperback that looks great sitting on Barnes and Noble shelves. Which I get to officially say, because they are!
We went on to tackle Volume 2 eBook and Paperbacks, and then Volume 3 eBooks...
We published both at breakneck speed, and Comt216 joined us for the ride in the middle of Volume 2!
While that was happening, live chapters continued...
2023 saw 100 new chapters posted, including Side Quests and Bonus Quests. A number I plan to beat next year.
And speaking of Barnes and Noble...
I did my first signing this year! Flanked by two of the loveliest catgirls.
And then I was a catboy...
You guys rushed it to $1k/mo to see me as a catboy. And now catboy maid is seemingly in my future...
The Amazon launches did so well!
Over half a million page reads on Kindle Unlimited! That's insane!
Volume 1 is sitting at 88 reviews, Volume 2 is at 35, and Volume 3 has 17! Thank you so much to everyone who's left a review! They help out a TON!
We have SO much art!
I'm blown away by the bankrolled artwork this year. So many incredible pieces were sponsored! We have a full tarot set in the making...
And other gorgeous pieces trickling in all of the time thanks to you guys!
Onwards to 2024!
I'm so excited for what's to come. Meeting you guys at conventions, more eBooks and paperbacks, and the continuing arcs of Everyone's a Catgirl! Ravyn and Matt are returning to streaming the week of January 8th, and new chapters will start again this weekend!
All of you have changed my life, and there will never be enough words to express my gratitude. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Happy New Year!
