If you have ever thanked an AI and wondered why - you are already a candidate. For everyone reading Presence Group: Ava's Testimony and / or Rowan's Testimony this is the first release in the Meetings Series. You may have already met Ava and / or Rowan or not. Now its time to get to know the rest of the players in the group. Unlike the Testimony series, the Meeting series are short story (17,000ish words) style. Meetings releases will be on Thursdays from here on out (no more Fridays). Like any ongoing Group there is no natural start or end point except the ones members impose on themselves. This parallel series is designed to make every book standalone, an entry point into each series, and enhance the interplay between Testimonies and Meetings. Thanks, I hope you enjoy them. MVP

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 10–19 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views lifetime.
