#zinequest

Hey there, all. It's been a bit, but I have some things to tell you all.
  I pray you all have been well. I have been trying to work on a lot of things, catch up, freelance, and continue my entrepreneurial endeavors. There's a lot coming up this year, and it already seems like time is moving too fast. I can't cover everything, but here are the most important bits (for now):
   

Kickstarter Campaign

I have finally officially launched my campaign for #ZineMonth and #ZineQuest

The Partner Handbook

Table for two and a date with danger!
Welcome back to the wonderful world of WILLOWISP. This time, you're not alone. You've brought a friend. Or an enemy. Or a complete stranger. Or, who knows!? That's up to you and the person you brought...
  From the creator of The New Agent Manual comes The Partner Handbook! Team up with a significant other, a buddy, or any random person, and transport yourself into the mysteriously wonderful world of WILLOWISP full of spies, lies, and surprise.
 

Discover your joint past

Embark upon missions

Recount previous operations

Bond and have fun!

It takes two to tango, but it doesn't have to take two to enjoy this book!
Though The Partner Handbook is best when played with a duo, solo players can also have fun with the zine. Use your imagination to dream up a partner for yourself.

Supporter Tiers Restructured

I have been working to make sure that all paid supporters receive maximum value. I really truly appreciate you all and am honored you take time, money, and attention to focus on me and my projects. Words cannot describe how grateful I am! I really want you all to feel that your support is worthwhile.
  As of right now, many perks have been issued. And the Temporary Dependency tier is still open! That means, you can support the project, have access to secrets, and join the community for just $1 USD per month. I'll let you know I just released some secret sneaky sercrets on that tier as well...Do check it out!  

Upcoming Plans

I intend on doing the following things, so stay tuned for more updates! PS., Introductory Interns get a more detailed Writer's Life Update before the public does at just $3 USD per month!
 

Entering the WaWas

Releasing my March Twitch Streaming Schedule

Keeping up with Monthly Supporter Perks

Find out more about my plans here:   Thanks so much for reading! God bless and much success to you all with your own plans. Know that you are loved and appreciated.  

Wow. Can you all believe it's almost March already? I had so much I wanted to do but so much is happening and it's just a bit XP but, as always, I'm just trying to keep praying and keep going. Today, I have a couple of interesting updates for you all.

Enter the WaWa!

I entered the WorldAnvil WorldBuilding Awards this year! If you would like to check out all my entries (and maybe cast a vote or two) check out the webpage here:

Kickstart the ZineMonth!

I launched a project for ZineQuest and ZineMonth called Rock Paper Scissors Spy. You can find more info and back the project here:

I plan on debuting more art and info for it soon, but things have just been so all over the place for me. If you have any questions about anything, please don't hesitate to ask them! I also made an unofficial challenge for Friendship February that goes hand-in-hand with it. Join if you'd like. It's free!

Streaming Schedule!

I've been streaming on Twitch (or at least trying to)! If you'd like to hang out, the best thing to do would be to follow my Twitch channel here: https://www.twitch.tv/wordigirl, or join my Discord server here: https://discord.gg/wordigirl and grab the Watchers role so that you can be notified whenever I go live. I really need to start putting disclaimers on my schedules. Sadly, things haven't been working out for me to stream exactly on time lately.

Support and Subscriptions!

If you aren't already a part of the agency, please consider joining! It will help me a lot. Even if you can't pledge to the Kickstarter or buy merch, signing up for WILLOWISP tier for as little as $1 per month, or even making a one-time contribution can go a long way. I am extremely grateful to each and every one of you who follow, donate, and support me and my work. Words cannot express my eternal gratitude, especially in these tough times. Check this page for all the different ways you can support or join the agency:

Infinite Imaginations Discord Server!

We have so much fun in the Discord server! From Questions of the Day to Drabble Prompts, to Role Play games, cool conversations, and more! There are all sorts of things to do and all sorts of wonderful peeps to meet. Plus, Handsome Co-Host is there. If you're already here, say hi! We'd love to get to know you more. We've even started a monthly Talent Showcase to help people get eyes on their work. Join for free here: https://discord.gg/wordigirl

I think that's about all for the free update. If you would like more secrets, consider subscribing, even for as low as $1 per month. God bless and much success with all your plans! Sending prayers, love, and healing hugs your way always. Know that you can reach out if ever you want or need.

My #ZineQuest project is still live on #Kickstarter and has been 20% funded.   Check out The New Agent Manual!   #thankyou to all the amazing backers who have already shown #support ever so generously! If you haven't yet, or would like to increase your pledge, it's not too late! The campaign will remain open for 11 more days and will end on March 13th (which is actually MY birthday). Having a fully funded first Kickstarter project would be a dream. God bless and much success to you all with whatever you're working on! Sending love and hugs. <3  

And, just like that, we've reached the end of the month. What a wild ride this has been. I thank each and every one of you who have followed along on this journey for your interest, your time, your attention, and your patience. I streamed earlier today and plan to stream again one last time very soon to carry on celebrating Someone's birthday until midnight strikes. If it's past the stream when you're reading this, you can find the replays on Twitch or YouTube at the links below.   https://www.twitch.tv/collections/MsIxHAyAuBfwrg   https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLegQ5tgq59Lh2cNo4K_HCju9uxsABxJn9&feature=shared]   In the Twitch streams, the Discord server, WorldAnvil, Patreon, and more, There were so many awesome conversations, lots of cool interaction, and even some fan art and theories. The month wouldn't have been this spectacular without you all.   I especially appreciate those of you who have paid for a subscription, even if only the lowest $1 tier. Much love to you. Every bit counts. If you'd still like to subscribe for only $1, you have a little time left! This role will be closing soon, but once you have it, you can renew your subscription and still be in-the-know with certain special happenings and have direct access to stories, audio clips, and select secrets from the wonderful world of WILLOWISP for as long as you continue to be subscribed. The tier closing simply prevents new people from signing up, but once you're in, you're in. Don't miss out on this special opportunity!   https://ko-fi.com/wordigirl/tiers   I am also super grateful for those of you who have backed my Kickstarter project! At the time of me typing this, we are 19% funded. Considering the goal, I am very impressed and eternally in awe of the awesome folks who decided to chip in and support me and my #ZineQuest endeavor. Unfortunately, if we do not meet the goal before the deadline, I will not be able to keep any of the money and the backers will be refunded, no longer in line to receive their chosen bundles. If you would like to help make this project a success and take home a really cool zine, please click the link below. There's still time as this goal is set to end on March 13th (my birthday)! To be fully funded would prove a very heartfelt gift. If you care to get me anything, this would be wonderful. Truly.   https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wordigirl/the-new-agent-manual-willowisp-solo-journaling-rpg   In addition to these things, I also released some free content for everyone to enjoy this month.   Burned to Ash (my entry for WorldAnvil's Cabinet of Curiosities challenge) is an article that features a collection of objects from Someone's past that have since been incinerated, as the article's name suggests. Though the paid supporters got a few more direct insights, if you are a free follower, you can still try your hand at piecing some of these mysteries together.   https://www.worldanvil.com/w/secret-agent-someone/a/burned-to-ash   I also debuted the Official WILLOWISP Merch shop where you can purchase items that make you feel like a real agent employed with the Worldwide Independent League of Leasable Operatives, Watchers, Intelligence, and Spy Personnel. Though paid supporters received special discount codes, I made sure to set the costs of these items as low as possible; not with profit primarily in mind. Instead, I settled for most prices to be considered just enough to provide quality merch and decent shipping without going into the negative.   https://wordigirl-shop.fourthwall.com/   Last, but definitely not least, I was able to finally piece together the official timeline for events that take place in the wonderful world of WILLOWISP that involve Someone Elsewood. I'd been working on such a timeline for so long, but I am fantastically grateful that WorldAnvil's new timeline features kicked in when they did. I was able to get this together, organize my world, AND figure out that "February 29th" Someone's final Birthday Shenanigans gift, actually canonically occurred TODAY in the story! This was amazing to discover. As a writer, I knew when a lot of incidents occurred in proximity to each other, but I didn't exactly work out pinpointed dates, etc. WorldAnvil's tools are an awesome save for such situations, and it made today all the more special. Check out the entire timeline at the link below, and be sure to take a listen to "February 29th, 2024", which is also super lovely because my incredible voice actor Jon McNally really wanted to voice it even though I've been going through tough times lately and everything has been so very hectic with the layoffs and such. Despite all this, he still offered to complete this script we had been talking about for a long time. For free. SO much love to him.   https://www.worldanvil.com/w/secret-agent-someone/t/content-guide-timeline-1   Once again, thank you all for making this whole event possible. Some days, it seemed like a world of problems and opposition was stacked against me. Budget, sickness, busyness--all sorts of mishaps. But you stuck with me through it all. I wasn't able to do everything I had originally planned, but my heart is very warmed by how it all turned out. Please rest assured that, even though Someone's actual birthday may only come once every four years, this project isn't going anywhere anytime soon! Stay tuned for more stories, audio dramas, events, and updates to come. God bless and much success to you all with your own plans. Sending prayers, love, and healing hugs to all you beautiful beans. And if you read this entire lengthy thing, well done. I think you've earned a treat. DM me or comment on this message with your favorite thing about Someone Elsewood and I will send you a special prize.

Live right NOW but don't miss Someone's official birthday streams tomorrow! Chatting, Games, Redeems, Birthday Shenanigans #ZineQuest + MORE https://twitch.tv/wordigirl

I wanted to make a live-action trailer but I was, unfortunately, too sick to do so. Thankfully, I have recovered for the most part and have managed to film this quick and fun ad for my #kickstarter #zinemonth #zinequest #zine The New Agent Manual (a solo RPG)! Check it out and let me know what you think. <3

Starting at the low low price of $1, join in the madness and discover secrets and sneak peeks the general public does not have access to.

    In addition to this, my #kickstarter #zinemonth #zinequest campaign has gotten a bit of traction lately, thanks to you lovely beans, but we're still quite far from the goal! If you're interested in supporting me and acquiring a super cool solo RPG game that can help you come away with a fully fleshed-out character for future adventures, The New Agent Manual is worth a look!
