Hello everyone!
I am finally posting my original fiction work! I used to write fan-fics (one should still be online on my Tapasio, but I put it on a hiatus with an explanation in the last post), so to say that I'm finally posting an original story of mine is very exciting!
Currently, I just published my second chapter, with my first chapter being posted last week: https://tapas.io/series/Tale-of-a-Magpie-Girl/info;
to my first chapter: https://tapas.io/episode/3656058;
to my second chapter: https://tapas.io/episode/3663569.
This story is meant to be filled with allegories, metaphors and hidden messages (since I know that many of you nerds would appreciate it), so be my guest and theorise (even if it were not canon/what I meant, I'd still appreciate any different perspectives of readers). It is also a baihe, so please, if you want to, be my guest and ship anyone you want (lol). It is also meant to be a xuanhuan (maybe a xianxia) - so yeah, it is meant to have that "Chinese fantasy novel"-vibe.
Here is the synopsis:
"Beneath the shade of an ancient pagoda tree, a restless magpie lingers, chasing a life beyond her wings. When Heaven stirs, she is given more than she ever dreamed: a chance to walk among humans, to taste their joys and sorrows, and to discover the fragile warmth of companionship and love.
But in a village bound by custom and silence, not all hearts open so easily. Whispers grow, shadows stir, and the lines between spirit, monster, and human blur. To belong, she must learn not only what it means to be human â but what it costs."
In all honesty, I'm not trying to artificially promote my novel just to farm views and/or subscribers - so don't expect me to spam or set some great schemes. I genuinely just want to build a cosy community around my web-novel, even if small - so obviously, I have to start somewhere (and as such, I'm promoting it here). So if there is any lovely soul who would genuinely want to check and read my novel, maybe even give tip or trick or two, I would welcome it. Other genuine writers who would want to promote their starting novels (since everyone needs to start somewhere), you are welcome to join in and promote it on this thread (but genuinely, only those that really mean it - not those that are only farming subs/views, or god forbid even use AI).
