Crosspost Update

This is a weird crosspost made for ye olde wordpress that hosted the original late letters. It's getting posted there, here, and on the patreon. Buuuuut the patreon version has some extra stuff at the end. If you want the extra bts stuff on how and why this is all gonna continue, go there.

Hey everyone!

It's been quite a while, and (to be honest) I thought that this project would die by now? But thanks to some very insistent people in my life, it lives.

The Late Letters is getting its ending.

The arc I got stuck on all those years ago is complete. Fully written, revised, edited--all of it.

Currently, I'm just waiting on Kyle to be able to make some art for it before doing the official post. Technically, at this point, I'm skilled enough to make art too? but I thought it'd be really cool to keep the same artist all the way through. I might make a couple contributions to accent the story, but I want Kyle's artwork to remain the visual centerpiece.

A lot has happened since I originally started this epistolary, and I'm sure that a lot of the folks reading these here (maybe all of them) have moved on. But if you are still here, and you do wanna see how it all shakes out, I've migrated everything to my main site; you can read the archive and the new releases of tLL at Rhetorical Answers.

There's some other points of order I should follow up on before you do that too. Obviously, there's the new releases there, but there's another thing I'd mentioned (I believe for one of the hiatus updates?) earlier too: Stories for Monsters. I said it would be an extension of the Late Letters, so there's a chance first-time reader-listeners might be a bit confused.

Make no mistake: these are connected.

Before you start worrying, no, you aren't losing it, and yes, they are wildly different. You may wonder how the Hell/Underworld/Eschaton (that'll make sense later) we get from point A to point B. It's a valid concern.

Their stories collide in something that I've been calling the Multi-Labyrinth (name pending~) in the future. The short version is that The Late Letters (an epistolary), Stories for Monsters (a podcast), and Mountain of Time (a comic that I need to heavily redo and am begging you not to look up until it's ready because I was rushing and not as good an artist as I am now) will all weave into one tale in the form of probably at least a novel (aforementioned multi-labyrinth).

I didn't know what I was working on yet (three cheers for discovery writing!), but I've actually been spending the last several years building the tools that our heroes (and myself) will need to survive the upcoming tribulations.

There's a lot more to the process and what's happening and what it means to both me and literature at large, but if you want behind the scenes stuff, that's more of a Patreon thing.

I hope you enjoy the conclusion of this chapter in the Late Letters, I hope you come back for the rest, and thank you for reading.
