Feedback Policy

I don’t take feedback, unless I ask for it specifically. I often ask for it. If you’ve got something to say about my work, hold that thought until I post again looking for feedback. Simple comments are always welcome, as long as we are not talking about my process or what I decide to publish.

That said, please leave comments and/or feedback in the comments. No feedback is acknowledged over social media.

Point:

I publish what I want to publish. I don’t go with fads or popularity contests. I don’t expect things I publish to be seen or read. I publish them because I like them, and I think it’s worth public exposure. I don’t want to hear what you think I should publish.

I will, quite often, ask for feedback. In such situations, I generally specify exactly what I’m looking for opinions on. Some things are simply complete. If something is complete, no amount of pretentious commentary will make me go back and edit it. If you find an actual issue with something like my grammar, I will thank you for bringing my attention to it, and I will fix it.

This post is very concise; to the point, as it were. That’s because it’s a simple issue that shouldn’t be hard to grasp.

I’m asking one thing from my readers, friends, and fans. That was it.

Thank you,

Jack Lhasa

December Update

In this style, next year, each month will have an update. These posts will be much like you probably expect.

Content

I will be adding a new category of posts, as I intend to do at least one long format post about music every month. Sometimes this will be more often. I may venture into other areas, as I intend to continue experimentation.

zkSync Era

This month we launched the meme token, $BALLS on the zkSync Era blockchain. This token is something that Jean and I have been discussing/planning for many months now. We’ve received quite a surprising amount of interest. We haven’t exactly dug ourselves out of poverty, but it is still incredibly exciting. The token has been fully generated, and we expect to reach DEX listing very soon. I’ll post about that when we get there. The future is bright, and you gotta have $BALLs!!

NFTs

I continue to offer my own art, mostly set in the fictional universe of Exoteric, on several fronts. Lens is sort of the ‘proto-release’ area with conversation and community being the core. The Uncut Network is home to the majority of low priced, readily available NFTs. In news there, the Only Shadow collection will be coming to a close in January. This region of the Exoteric World is very likely to show up again in the future. The Cost of Magic collection will move to the forefront at Uncut. Details forthcoming.

Fiction

The fictional Storyverse called Exoteric will continue to grow. Each NFT release has included some light flavor text, adding small details to the world. As focused NFT collections begin and end, so will the stories of the related region. I am working on a knowledge base that will debut soon. It will always be a work in progress. An ebook is planned covering The Only Shadow story, including the all the current images used for NFTs, as well as new art, and the story that ties it all together.

Knowledge Base

The upcoming knowledge base will be reminiscent of an RPG manual written in the wiki format. Once I’ve completed a sufficient amount of its skeleton, I’ll make it public while I continue to add to it. The Knowledge Base will become increasingly important to the Exoteric project, as I hope others will want contribute their own stories, art, music, design, etc within the Exoteric multiverse. Anyone interested is welcome to contact me at any time, but I won’t actually be seeking out other creators to collaborate with until I’ve made more of the setting public.

That’s all folks!

December can be a tough time. I hope that my efforts can provide some pleasure to others. The goal is to make my vision come to life, in a way that is fun and relatable; to create a massive fictional context, in which others want to add to themselves, becoming fans and creators.

Okay, that’s enough for now. Thank you all for your purchases, support, companionship, and inspiration.
