Happy New Year to all who celebrate!

It’s time for — you guessed it — more stats analysis! I’ve had amazing viewership in December, with some record-breaking days: on the days Chapter Ten and Eleven debuted, the website tracked 42 views each! Whether this can be attributed to the choice to have two updates in the previous week remains to be seen, but I’m excited to see where it goes nonetheless! Overall, storiesbythomas.neocities.org has seen almost 700 views since debuting Chapter One of Point A To Proxima Centauri B! Thank you so much to all who tune in every week to see what happens next, and feel free to shoot me a message on Bluesky or Tumblr if you want to learn more about the story and future projects.

If you're looking for an alternative format to enjoy the story and other projects, I'm in the process of launching a Substack that will deliver chapters directly to your inbox! Once all of my ducks are in a row, I will post an update here and to all of my socials, hopefully some time in the next month.

There will be two half-chapters posted alongside the regular updates this month. Chapter Fourteen And A Half with be posted on January 18th, the Sunday before Chapter Fifteen; Chapter Sixteen And A Half will be posted on the Tuesday following Chapter Sixteen, January 27th.

If you have the cash to spare, it would mean so much to me if you joined my Patreon! For as little as $5 a month, you can help support an independent author, and because all donations will be split between me and my chosen causes, you wil also be supporting a Gazan family in need and the Kanien’kéha community. Even if you choose not to join my Patreon, please consider donating to one of these causes independently: if you have even $5 to spare, you have the ability to make a difference in someone’s life.

Just like always, engagement is my favourite kind of support! If you like this story, help me grown my audience by sharing the links, following me on Tumblr or Bluesky, and telling your friends about Point A To Proxima Centauri B.

Thank you all so much for an incredible two months, and I hope you continue enjoying the story. Happy reading!

Finally, November comes to an end!

Once again, I am thrilled with the response! Neocities is averaging around 57 views a week, which is such a joy to see, especially since I appear to be retaining steady viewership, and it means so much to me that you’re all enjoying my work and are interested in seeing what happens next.

Now that the fun statistical analysis is out of the way, my only news is that I’m considering no longer cross-posting chapters to Tumblr, since I’m not getting much engagement on my posts and I can’t be sure that it’s bringing in any new readers. If you found out about Point A To Proxima Centauri B through Tumblr and you want me to continue cross-posting here, the power is in your hands! Consider reblogging the chapters already in circulation and getting more eyes on my story, following me on my blog @d00m-d4ys, or posting some of your thoughts on the story so far in the #patpcb tag. Every bit helps, and I’d love to be able to give a shout-out next month to anyone who helps boost my work, or posts some really cool fanart.

As always, if you have the means, I’d really appreciate any donations on my Patreon. You can become a member for as little as five dollars a month, and contributing any amount will get your name in next month's thank-you letter on Tumblr, Neocities, and Patreon. Once again, financial support isn’t your only option: if you have someone in your life that loves a good story and wants to support an independent writer for the low cost of absolutely free, please consider sharing the link to my story.

Thank you very much for your continued support, and I hope you all have a safe and happy December!

Happy Halloween!

Only two chapters in and I’m thrilled with the reception, with over a hundred visits since posting the first entry! I’m so glad to see you all enjoying the story so far. Thank you all very much for your early support, and I hope you continue to follow the story as it unfolds. If you’re interested in supporting me further, you can do so on my Patreon, or by spreading the word to your families and friends.

As stated above, we are two chapters in, of a planned thirty-nine: new chapters will be posted on Monday, with half-chapters or minor interludes being posted either the preceding Sunday or the following Tuesday. At the end of every month, I will be posting a similar thank-you letter both here and on my Patreon, where I will break down any earnings, shout-out backers, and generally share other news that I feel is important.

Thank you again for taking time out of your lives to read my work. It means the world to me, and I hope to thank some of you by name next month. Until then, happy reading!

Chapter One of Point A To Proxima Centauri B is now live! The next chapter will be posted on October 27th, 2025. At the end of every month, I will post a thank-you letter for everyone who backs me on Patreon, and I also plan to break down how the donations are being divided between myself and the fundraisers that I want to support.

Happy reading!
