So, a bit of backstory: when I published The Brightest Stars as a book, I put it on Kindle Unlimited; the KU terms of service, however, required me to give Amazon the exclusive to distribute the ebook. I could not distribute any version of the story in any other way, and they're known to be very strict in enforcing this.

So, after consulting with my patrons (those of you who were already here might remember that), I decided to temporarily take down the version of The Brightest Stars which I'd published chapter-by-chapter on Patreon, with a promise to put it back up when the Kindle Unlimited exclusivity period expired.

Well, that period just expired, so here it is: The Brightest Stars in full (though missing the edits and additions made when I edited it for publishing).

Hope you enjoy :)

(Also: I will be putting the ebook version on other marketplaces than Amazon, including Itch. Expect an announcement about that.)
