Episode 7: “Addie Is Not a Superhero”

Hey, everyone! Thanks for stopping by!

These are the show notes for No Dragons Press, A HIGH FANTASY Serial Fiction Podcast, Episode 7: “Addie Is Not a Superhero.” (The chapter begins around 3:15, in case you want to skip ahead.)

Enjoy!

Welcome, new listeners!

Kind of exciting news: last night I submitted No Dragons Press to a few new podcast distributors, and it looks like I’ve got a few new listeners! If you’re a new listener, welcome! It’s great to have you here.

I’m really looking forward to the twists and turns coming up and I’m really excited to share them with you, both here on the podcast and on our Weekly Illustrated Fiction series. You can find links to both at nodragonspress.com.

I have some exciting news, or at least it’s exciting news for me:

Now you can help me run the show (or at least myself)!

It definitely isn’t free to run a podcast, but this is a serial fiction podcast, which didn’t really feel to me like the right kind of thing to try to find a sponsor for, at least not right away. I’m already talking a bunch before I even start reading the chapter, and I didn’t want to put anything else between you and the story.

So, since Book One won’t be published for at least another six months, I started thinking about other fun ways I could help offset the cost of running a podcast in a way that didn’t seem disruptive to the show format or just creepy.

Buy me a beer!

Buy me a beer!

I decided, instead of directly asking for help running the show, I would make it easy for listeners to buy me a beer. That indirectly helps, since I’m going to be buying it anyway, and it’s way more fun. Podcasts are such a uniquely personal way to connect with people individually, and something as classic as sending someone a drink really appeals to me on that personal level.

If you head to nodragonspress/beer, you should find a pretty easy-to-use button. Just let me know what kind of beer you’d like to send over and how you’d like to be thanked, and I’ll send out little thank-you gifts too as I start getting all the pieces together.

Edit: I’ve since moved to Patreon. If you’d like to support me, please head to patreon.com/nodragonspress, and thank you. (You can still buy me a beer.)

And you know, whether or not you choose to help out right now, thanks so much for listening, and keep telling your friends about the podcast and the weekly illustrated fiction series. That’s really the most important thing you can do to help right now, and I really appreciate it.

Story Updates

So, I promised things would really start picking up in the story, and they definitely have. If you remember last week, Addie was upstairs in Nate’s apartment, then she went down into the No Dragons Press offices to grab something—until she heard a noise and ran upstairs to see what was going on and got a face full of guns.

Today we pick up where we left off, and we not only learn how appropriate the chapter title is; we also learn just how much Addie doesn’t know about the people she’s closest to. She’s really starting to learn that everyone has secrets, especially the people we don’t necessarily expect secrets from.

Well, I don’t want to give too much away, so I’ll shut up for now and jump right into the story. Thanks again for listening and following along, and I hope you enjoy chapter 7: “Addie is Not a Superhero.”

You guys are awesome.

Thanks so much, everyone, and thanks for listening! Remember, you can find the show notes for today’s episode at nodragonspress.com/podcast, as well as older episodes and a link to our Weekly Illustrated Fiction series. Have a great week, help spread the word if you can, and take care of yourselves! See you next time.
