> I just got into this, and quite enjoyed it.  Stayed up too late, even.

>> **u/cthulhuraejepsen** [+21]  *Fruit flies like a banana* (2 hours later)
>> 
>> Thanks!
>> 
>> I don't think that I would be the person I am today without HPMOR; it really left its mark on me, and for that I am forever grateful.

> **u/JanusTheDoorman** [+9]  (an hour later)
> 
> Good to get more discussion on how/why the different artifacts are bound to Amaryllis.
> 
> Curious why the skin tattoo failed. Wondering what the high-level results of a skill as broad as "Engineering" will look like.
> 
> Gotta say, I also think the author does a good job in both the emotionally resonant scenes and the nitty-gritty worldbuilding which often appear as if they're mutually exclusive skills.

>> **u/BlueSigil** [+7]  (2 hours later)
>> 
>> My guess as to why the tattoo failed is that the fortress is under an anti-magic field.

>>> **u/Gigapode** [+2]  (a day later)
>>> 
>>> What if the skin mage just stole the teleport stone?

> **u/cthulhuraejepsen** [+7]  *Fruit flies like a banana* (2 hours later)
> 
> > Worth the Candle is a self-insert litRPG portal fantasy, loosely based on my personal experience of falling into a portal to another world and discovering that I had a character sheet attached to my soul.

> If you want to know how to make [pemmican](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_vLuMobHCI&list=PL4e4wpjna1vxXNa7kCTF3i2LzFE9uKPPU) or [portable soup](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fE5KzvOZRk), I have helpfully included some "hyperlinks" earlier in this very sentence.

> **u/josephwdye** [+8]  *I love you* (4 hours later)
> 
> Oh man, your too good to us <3. This is quickly becoming my favorite litrpg. You need to work a little harder catch to the wandering inn.
> 
> Whats the best way to support the story? Any plans for a patreon?
> 
> keep up the great work!

>> **u/cthulhuraejepsen** [+14]  *Fruit flies like a banana* (4 hours later)
>> 
>> I am sadly not fast enough to *ever* catch up to Wandering Inn. My current average word count is ~2600 words per day, while Wandering Inn seems to be ~3700 words per day.
>> 
>> I do like money, because it can be exchanged for goods and services, but I don't plan on ever monetizing this story, short of some publisher or agent coming up to me and offering me a reasonable deal (which almost certainly will not happen).
>> 
>> If you want to support this story, my preferences are:
>> 
>> * write some fanfic
>> * draw some fanart
>> * post about it somewhere
>> * recommend it to friends
>> 
>> But those are really just "things that would bring me personal happiness".

>>> **u/josephwdye** [+11]  *I love you* (5 hours later)
>>> 
>>> I hope youre ready for some terribly written fanfic!
