Hello!

It's the end of the first week. 

I just wanted to say thank you for all the traffic and saves. I know following a project as it just starts out can be difficult, so thank you.

We've made it to 10.5K views, 3K downloads, and have been saved to 145 collections in the first week!

I was really unsure of how this would go. I was unsure of myself and unsure of the concept.

I know there is a stigma against AI art and I knew there would be some resistance to it. 

This project would never exist without the imagery to support it. I am not an artist and even if I were to build the skill to create visual art my thoughts are sound based, and I have difficulty visualizing details. It really works best for me to decide if an image is correct for a purpose, rather than creating or commissioning something specifically for a purpose.

The cost of commissioning works or hiring someone to be morally superior to the concept of AI art is not practical or achievable for what is essentially a hobby project.  Yes, anyone could do it, but I am taking the time to actually do it.

I assumed it would get traffic much slower than this, which is why I didn't mind starting from version 0.1. I didn't want to put in a lot of effort just to find out I couldn't even get it to run or upload it. I appreciate the consideration as this evolves.

I just started learning the tools to make this on June 1st. There will continuously be updates to formatting as I discover what else can be done with the tools. For instance, I just learned I can still do all the preformatting work, and have it hidden so it doesn't clutter up the novel.

I hope to have this to a fairly sizable novel by version 1.0.  If we are averaging 2 girls or routes an update that should put us at 15-20 girls/routes.

I am open to requests and feedback. 

I hope this project does something for you---just don't tell me about it.

Thanks all,
