How to celebrate with readers?

[EliseValkyria]

Hello to everyone

A lot has passed since the last time I went through the forums, but these last few months I have been quite busy and with the end and beginning of the year it is even worse. But I hope everyone is doing well and having a happy holiday season.

Currently, with my novel, I think I have done quite well this year. Currently, I am close to both a thousand readers as well as a hundred thousand visits. I think that with these numbers it is an achievement that it would be good to celebrate it too, so I was thinking of doing something to commemorate it

What I have no idea is what to do?

I was thinking of doing something like a question and answer, or maybe a chapter where I talked a little more about the novel on the outside, how I chose the characters, or why I wrote certain parts. I also thought about maybe commissioning a drawing, but the truth is that I don't have much money these days either.

So I wanted to see if you had ideas or what you have done to celebrate each step you take with your stories.

Thank you all very much as always

Write a christmas special filler chapter~
Then you can add whatever you want to it. (Like your AMA or a crappy sketch you made yourself because you can't afford an artist, that's what I'd do at least.)

I'm in agreeance with this. Also, 1000 readers? Holy shit! I feel very inferior.

Do some stupid stuff on your discord server.

If you want your readers to be happy, just throw out a mass release of chapters :D
Otherwise you can do stuff like AMAs, illustrations, themed non-canon chapters, or the like.

But honestly... probably 90% of the readers would love a handful more chapters the most. That's why they read your story, after all...

Yeah, a mass release is the best way to celebrate + greeting for x-mas too, I you do it that day. I know I would be happy if my favourite author gives a mass release
