My fundraiser for my Epic Fantasy book series is still ongoing, and like the five points of the Star that the Five main characters represent, the percentage funded reflects their number.

Medium’s very own Nanie Hurley 🌿 donated and has become a Wizard Dragon contributor!
Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed thus far. Thank you as well to Christine Graves and Robin Wilding 💎who are helping spread the word about the campaign.
The Portal lies at the heart of the Darakön mountains, deep within the dragons’ lair. It is a portal into their celestial realm. Magic comes from there. So long as the portal remains open, magic exists in the world.
The drawback is that so long as the portal remains open, there will be those like Mirauk who will attempt to gain its magic.
If one goes through the Portal, one can gain immeasurable power. That is why the rule exists that only those wisest in magic may step through, but they must do so at the end of their lives, for they are not to return. Doing so would grant them such immense power that a living being should not possess, for it has the risk of corrupting their intent.
As such, two books were created to separate the most powerful spells in two, and only the wisest may have access to those books. The Book of Enchantment and the Complement Book contain the Portal Key Spell.
Mirauk wishes to exploit the Portal’s magic. He has already stolen one of the books. If he is successful, he will gain the power to dominate over all the world and force his tyranny on all its peoples.
If you’re looking for Stardust Destinies reading material while you wait for your contribution perks to come in, or to get a taste of the world while you decide if you would like to contribute, you can read the short stories and lore deep dives I have available on Medium.
Long ago, a being of pure evil attempted to gain power that only the celestial dragons possessed. The world became shrouded in darkness before this being disappeared and was forgotten. So long as the stars shine, the world may be protected from malice.
I am Celinka Serre, fiction writer of fantasy and romance. I began writing Stardust Destinies, an epic fantasy NA adventure with romance series, at the age of 19. It is one of my greatest achievements to this day.
I self-published Books 1 and 2, and now the time has come to publish Book 3, titled, A Sublime Search.
The Fight For the Freedom of Life
With Mirauk’s forces growing stronger, the evil wizard is gaining more power. Our heroes are scattered but not weakened, as they seek allies to help fight to protect their kingdoms, and to save magic itself. This war has been named the war for the Freedom of Life.
So that our five heroes can continue their journey, I must gain funds to pay for my editor, Cleo Miele, who edited Book 2 and the 2nd Edition of Book 1. I also wish to pay my artist, Sophie Brunet, who paints canvases of scenes for my book covers. Sophie is a friend and a talented painter.
Thus I estimate needing $2500 CAD. This should cover most of their costs.
Five Points of A Star
Niome, Meysah, Jimmy, Vigh and Boreth are the prophesied Five of the Star. The Dragon Prophecies foretold their coming and knew the challenges that awaited them. Niome was able to look into Mirauk’s gaze without becoming cursed by his malice. Together, they are stronger and shine hope to all their allies.
As such, there are five tiers of perks for anyone who donates.
Tier 1: Friendly Dragon – $10

The Journey Ahead
As our heroes trek the lands and face undefeatable enemies, I must ensure their story can reach the many. Publishing includes many tasks that take time to accomplish, and I cannot accomplish these without your help.
Donations, and sharing this fundraiser to spread the word will bring me closer to publishing this book. My small but trusted team have helped me with this campaign, with Vampy on planning and development, and Christine Graves and Robin Wilding 💎 helping to spread the word on Medium.
As soon as I have the necessary funds, I will book my editor so she can begin working her magic, and enlist my artist so she can bring A Sublime Search to life through her art.
Stardust Destinies is but one of many books I have self-published, some of which under my pseudonym, for they are more mature. I have become accustomed to the process and am excited to bring yet another book to completion.
Publishing brings such a sense of accomplishment. Will you help me achieve this accomplishment? Will you join the Five of the Star in standing against Mirauk? Will you contribute to the fight for the Freedom of Life?
Dragon Age Day is but a few days away, taking place this Saturday, December 4th. I am volunteering this year and on top of a few other things I’m doing to help out with the event, I am offering fan-fiction scenes for people who donate to the Tiltify fundraise, which is raising funds for the charity AbleGamers.
AbleGamers provides specialised equipment to gamers with disabilities free of charge, so that these gamers can still play video games.
As an added incentive, and as a writer of both fiction and fan-fiction, I’m offering short fic scenes, so about 3 to 5 standard pages, as a reward for people who donate to the charity. I will write them with the characters of your choice, their relationship of your choice, all Dragon Age characters and settings of course, so if you’ve been fantasising about something not available int he games or a sequel of sorts, now’s your chance to take full advantage while you can.
I can write fluff, smut, regular romance, friendships, it can be with your Inquisitor, Warden, Hawke, it can be between other characters without the presence of a playable character. The choice is yours with the magic of my imagination. Just select Short Fic by Binky when you cast your spell, I mean you donation.
Dragon Age Day is approaching fast, it falls on December 4th, and I am so excited to be helping out this year with the French translations and the fundraiser.
There are a ton of creators creating content, streams, fanart, fanfiction, etc, just for Dragon Age Day. If you plan on taking part, just be sure to use the #DragonAgeDay for us to easily find you on social media. I’m most active on Twitter for the event.
The AbleGamers Charity helps gamers with disabilities by providing specilised equipment at no cost to the player in need.
There are also a number of rewards each person who contributes can select to receive in return for their donation. One of these is a short fanfic written by me with the characters of your choice. It’s the perfect opportunity to get a commissioned fic from me, since I don’t know when or if I’ll open commissions for fics in the future.
Here’s an excerpt of a fic I wrote to give you an idea of my writing style.
So come join in on the fun for Dragon Age Day! I’m sure Bioware will have a few little funsies for us this year like there was last year and I look forward to it all. If you decide to donate with a reward fic, select “Short Fic from Binky” in the list of rewards.
