Moonset is my passion project; it's an experiment and challenge in my artform; it's something I really feel like I have to make.

The center of Moonset are Tsukiko and Ririka: two mysterious, codependent, astrology-obsessed girls who are enmeshed in a chain of mysteries with answers which threaten the balance of the magic-stained world they call home. Transforming into the masked warriors Foxfire and The Whispering Stars, they use their magics and wits to prevail against both others like them and forces beyond comprehension, even at the risk of self-destruction.

Moonset is written and realised serially, one chapter at a time. The long term schedule is planned to be a new chapter every two Mondays, but right there's enough of a backlog that the first couple episodes will be publicly released faster than that. In antiquity, authors would usually publish their books in chunks via a feature in a magazine publication; even very famous books like Great Expectations and The Count of Monte Cristo were originally released this way! When the modern publishing industry arose, this practice became almost entirely obsolete. Thanks to the internet, however, it has started to see a resurgance. While becoming popular in some countries, web serials in the west are still usually relegated to fanworks or specific niche subgenres, but I see the format as having immense potential to take off again as we enter a new era of creative freedom and rebellion.

The decision to center the project around a small, hand-made personal website in the style of "web 1.0" rather than a page on a popular social media platform is likewise an act of counter-culture against a commercialised, censorship-happy, exploitative mainstream. The current pressures of late-stage capitalism feel immense, but it is my view that these are merely dying screams, and the time has come for people to reclaim the internet as a tool of self-expression and community, rather a giant advertising-slash-propaganda scheme.

Moonset blends together many things I love, include cool fight scenes with weird superpowers; deeply wound mysteries with and conspiracies with troubling implcations; sappy, emotionally complicated queer romances; pretty people in cool alt outfits; star imagery; and 2000s-esque emo aesthetics. Hopefully there's something in there you're passionate about too! Be advised that there's also a lot of discussion of sensitive content in the story - especially things related to trauma and emotional well-being; I will make sure to leave an extra warning if a chapter is particularly heavy, but reader descretion is always advised.

I love interacting with readers and hearing people's thoughts on my characters and stories, so please write-in your thoughts to us at MoonsetTeam@proton.me, or tag #Moonset on platform of choice^{I'm a Tumblr girlie myself}! Moonset is fully free to read and always will be, ^{if only because it'd be hypocritical of me to demand people pay for it when I'm a prolific ship captain}. If you find Moonset makes you so happy that you'd like to put some money my way, though, there will be a donation system set up where you can "pay" whatever you'd like for any or all chapters. In the future I'd also like to look into a dedicated merch store, and perhaps a Patreon where you can donate in exchange for early chapters or bonus short stories. (We'll also have some other fun stuff like a fortune telling minigame where you can learn all the KIBOU Nation lore, and an external forum).

Thanks for being here... This is all a dream come true. - Fox
