I never knew some of you held such strong opinions about people with powers.
In this dispatch:
- Would you date someone with powers? Some of you had interesting answers.
- We broke something...
- Two new reveals (for livestreams and live shows). They're interactive!
- Next week's article: NASA wants Myths on Mars. Would you go?
- "This is how you write a fantasy book!"
- And other updates.
FROM THE STREAM
|
Would you date someone with powers? 🔥 chat had a lot to say Monday on Read It and Steep, Steph and I read a National Chronicle article about MythMatch, a new dating app for Myths that hit one million users in its first month. But there was one BIG problem. Most of the people on it aren't Myths. They just want to date someone with powers... One Ignarus Myth in the article said his dates kept filming him and telling him to “do the fire thing.” Romantic. So we asked chat the obvious question: Would you date someone with powers? And chat did not hold back. We had our biggest crowd yet (breaking our streaming record, AGAIN) Steph was the odd one out. Can you guess what she said? And when we asked if you'd tell a match about your power in the very first message, Cassee from the chat said: “If you want to know my powers you better put a ring on me first 🤣” I can't believe what some of you said. Now it's your turn. Would you date someone with powers? Hit reply with YES or NO, and tell me which power. You know I read every reply. |
COME SEE US
|
Come hang out with us In person, if you can. We're taking The First Stone on tour, and we want to see you there. RSVP to a tour stop near you via our brand-new page on the website for live events! Trust me, you've never seen an RSVP page like this. And, even more so, you've never seen a book performance (yes, not just a signing) like this either. It takes less than a minute to fill out, but reserves your loot pouch and gets you an entry into our Mystery Box giveaways.
Can't make one? No worries. Come hang out with us on the next Read It and Steep instead (details below). |
FROM THE WORKSHOP
|
Livestream page! Go poke around. We built two new pages on exousia.world this week, and they're super fun, even with interactive elements. The live events page (exousia.world/live): every tour stop in one place, and you can RSVP right from the page. Already covered that in the previous section. And... The stream page (exousia.world/steep): the home of Read It and Steep, with past episodes and what's coming up next. Plus, you can just tune in there to watch it live, but better to jump on YT or Discord so you can also chat with us. You know we have fun. Go check them out. I put fun little things on them. |
FROM THE PRESS
