Season 2 - Here we go!
Dear readers,
it took a little longer than expected, but the second season of 'The Holy Loneliness Collective' will start on September 17th. After more than a year's break, I'm looking forward to returning to the characters and their story, as well as releasing new music.
Some things will be different this time - here is an overview of the most important changes:
1. As before, there will be one regular post per week telling the story of THLC. However, there will now also be longer pieces at irregular intervals that provide a deeper insight and are exclusive to Premium subscribers. If you want to join in quickly, you can do so here (and immediately listen to the exclusive song that was released during the break). Thank you so much for your support! I really appreciate it.
2. Franziska Blinde, who contributed the wonderful illustrations for the first season, has now moved on to new projects. I really enjoyed working with her and wanna take this opportunity to thank Franziska for all the talent and love she put into the project.
For the second season, I will create the visual part of THLC using an AI solution (Midjourney). As already mentioned, this is purely for budget reasons. In the medium term, I would very much like to work with a human illustrator again. If you'd like to help make this possible, consider the Premium subscription once again.
3. In addition to Instagram, THLC now also has a Tiktok channel and followers would be greatly appreciated. If you want to get in the mood for season 2, by watching a few highlight clips from the story so far, you'll find what you're looking for here: https://www.tiktok.com/@holylonelinesscollective
What stays the same: There is no script for the story, no overarching plan - even I don't know in advance what will happen in a month or two. And every reader is still welcome to get involved and shape the story - via comments and polls here in the newsletter and on Instagram. I'm very excited to see where the journey takes us.
Best regards,
Christoph Klinger
