WELCOME TO THE
VERY IMPORTANT READERS
WHAT IS FISTBUMP VIR?
Welcome to Fistbump the Sky, a growing fantasy world with multiple "portals" for everyone to explore the world together. But in order for the portals to work, we need VIRs– Very Important Readers.
​
Fistbump VIR is a group of weird and wonderful readers who enjoy reading fiction, particularly fantasy and Sci-Fi. Whether it’s an encyclopedia chapter, a new original character, or a chapter of the serialised novel, Fistbump VIR gets access to books and promotions before anyone else, before and after the final book is released.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
New Fistbump the Sky Encyclopedia and serialised fiction chapters are released on a monthly basis. Fistbump VIR readers will receive exclusive previews of the works before their release and have the option to share their thoughts on the contents, designs, and more.
​
After a book's release, VIRs receive a free PDF of the final work. Those who want to leave a free review can do so during the week when books are available for free on Amazon or by emailing me directly to leave the review on the website. Either way, you still receive your free copy.
​
Although everyone can apply to be part of Fistbump VIR, not everyone will be chosen, depending on your reading preferences and more. This is to ensure that Fistbump VIR is a pleasant little community for everyone. I doubt a horror reader will enjoy it very much.
​
You will receive an email if chosen as a VIR.
FISTBUMP VIR READERS WILL...
_ Receive sneak peeks and Behind the Scenes of upcoming work.
_ Learn about free runs on Amazon and more with the option of leaving a review.
_Have the opportunity to share your opinions with the author and fellow VIRs
_Receive an exclusive PDF version of encyclopedia chapters after release.
_Have the opportunity to win a physical version of an encyclopedia chapter
or art print.
_ Receive discount coupons to physical chapters once the Fistbump the Sky store opens later in 2025.
_ Most importantly, you get to let your rebel flag fly by supporting an indie author
and become part of a fantasy world. All for free.
NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU APPLY
You do not need an Amazon or Apple Books account.
​
This is a FREE readers circle. No money will be sent to readers or the author in exchange for reviews or reading materials unless a reader buys a physical chapter from the online store.
​
Reviews are not mandatory, but they do help.
Please do not tag Fistbump the Sky in reviews with two stars or lower. Reviews are gold for us indie authors. If you find any faults in the book, such as grammar or spelling, then please email or send a DM on the Instagram group.
​
You can be as old as you want but not as young as you want. That’s right, those younger than 18 will unfortunately not be able to become a VIR.
​
The Fistbump VIR group is built on trust. Please know that any materials you receive are for you and only you. The material is not intended for distribution in any form, including illustrations, without the author's consent.
​
Fistbump the Sky does not include smut, sexual materials, or foul language; the same is expected of the readers. However, some descriptions might be disturbing.
​
Bullying and discrimination are not okay.
​
Winners of physical chapters and art prints are chosen at random. However, preference will be given to those who participate.
​
You can opt out at any time if you feel like Fistbump VIR is not for you.
