HO HO HO! No, I'm not describing the characters, it's the season for festivity! For jollyness! For chewing bubblegum and kicking ass! It's the Season of Snap! Zasperate, that is. Better watch out, because here she comes, down your chimney and into your lives, so you better have that milk and those cookies ready! And none of those crappy oatmeal raisin garbage! CHOCOLATE CHIP. Or it's to the naughty list for you! When terrorists take over the North Pole, the Department of Supernatural Intelligence & Investigation have to get the job done, and who better to do the job? Well, frankly anybody besides Snap, but hey, it's her book, so there ya go. Holiday cheer and eggnog-flavored beer all around! (C) Luke Simmons, All rights reserved

Hidden gem — exposure is the bottleneck
Readers who find this story follow it at a high rate; there just aren't enough of them. In our cohort data, near-daily posting lifted the odds of reaching 25 followers from ~0% to 17% — more chapters, shoutout swaps and ads buy the eyeballs this conversion deserves.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 5–9 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views lifetime.
