Author's Description

Aideen was considered to be one of the most powerful magic wielders of her generation. She only had one problem now. Her power was beginning to fail, with madness or death being the two outcomes that awaited her. She only found solace when she was near her sleeping gargoyle, but he no longer sleeps. New episodes every Tuesday + Saturday

Why I Chose it

The first paragraph, which is the first time the not-quite-alive gargoyle meets the girl (and also the first time he's been awake for hundreds of years) was interesting enough to pull me in.

[37 episodes so far, with 8 updates in the last 30 days.]

Unrelated Griping

I ran across a story today which was a diary of someone who was convinced that if they repeated some mantra, good things would come. Each entry talking about the things the mantra had brought them.

So... standard unhinged ramblings of someone who doesn't understand bias, but the interesting part was each entry had links to YouTube. One of the things that has been so frustrating for authors in Vella is they don't want any links in the author notes that direct people away from Amazon. For other serial platforms, having communication between the author and readers is a big part of it, but that doesn't exist on Vella and they make it hard to even direct readers someplace else for that conversation. But there they were -- a whole bunch of links inside the story. I'm not sure if the Vella rules have changed, or if this is an anomaly.
