Regardless of fandom, I feel like fanfiction authors are all a part of one big family, and when one of us makes it, we all celebrate.
kata-chthonia made it! Her book, Receiver of Many, is a romance retelling the classic myth of Hades and Persephone. It started out on fanfiction.net and AO3, and after a successful kickstarter and months of hard work, her book will be released on September 23th!
Rachel is such an inspiration, and even though I don’t know her personally, I am so proud of her and everything she’s accomplished. I urge you to support a member of our fanfiction community! I’ll be following close behind!

You won't regret it
So…
I read.
And I read a fuck ton, when I have time, of course.
And there’s so much out there to read and cry over with a scoop of ice cream or a bottle of scotch; I prefer the latter, but heyyyoooo drink responsibly and legally, kids. There’s so, so, many great stories there ready for you, waiting for you to find them and be engrossed in it. Those words. Those characters. The scenery. The prose and pace. My god, the plot. *hyperventilates*
And if you’re deprived of a good reading like I was, dozens of moons and late-night burgers back, look no further than Receiver of Many by Rachel Alexander. This, my friends, is special. Very special.
This book first started as a fanfiction (it’s nothing anything like 50 Shades of Lameo or those good fanfics that were last updated in 2007, if you’re scared), and it’s a retelling of the Greek myth of the rapture of Persephone, and sweet Jesus, you need to read this. Not even kidding, I highly recommend this. Why? Because of its twists of the ancient myth, the fleshing out of the Olympian gods’ character development, the budding romance of Hades and Persephone (the sex is extremely hot and sexy btw; 10/10, yo), the amount of effort in the author put into making this for herself and for us to enjoy too (she knows her history, and did her research thoroughly, this lady knows what’s up, yo).
If you’re tired of the same “boy meets girl and instant facebook relationship #love5ever” type of story around your dashboard, then book is for you. It’s cheap, you support an independent author, you get a good time reading it (knowing the myth or not), it’s available on paperback and digital, it has strong female characters that are not one dimensional!!!, a hella good and detailed plot, sexy times in great detail (it’s romance/erotica; be responsible if you’re 18 and under, yo), all the plot twists that come back each time, badass Hades defending his flower, Persephone being her fabulous self and maturing as the story goes on, more development of Demeter and her maternal role, and the ending!!!
So, yeah.
If you need a good reading that keeps you up at night biting your nails chapter after chapter and having all the feels imaginable (and you will have all the feels, trust me), then this is for you. I’m telling you, you won’t regret it at all. I wouldn’t recommend something I didn’t like to read and reread (someone talk to me about this, because damn, that ending tho).
So, what’re you waiting for, dottie? Join this love club.

It’s here! I’m so excited to read it oh my god. It’s going to be hard to put it down. Congratulations, kata-chthonia!
Is there somewhere I can read receiver of many online?
Hello Anon. Currently you can only read the prologue and the first four chapters on Fanfiction.net and AO3 for free.
You can also purchase the full version on iBooks , Kindle and Nook. I think you can get a sample of it there as well.
There are a few other places you can purchase a copy as well so check out kata-chthonia’s tumblr for all of them.
I hope this helps, Anon.
