So, here we go again. Several weeks ago, the Tapas serial app announced that it will be closing in March 2027. I have had my serial novel, “Love Over Kpop” hosted there for over a year now. This is its third serial platform that it could be found, because they all keep closing. I first published it on Kindle Vella, in which I was working with a serial editor. I got about 3/4 of the way through, and then it closed. Next, I moved to Radish, and finished it, in time before the closure. Next, I moved the finished novel to Tapas, added to bonus episodes, and now it’s closing there.
I should throw my hands up in the air and give up, right? No. I’m stubborn. I have put my heart and soul into this webnovel over the last 8 years. So, I have found it a new home, on the new app called Pinya.
I have started the migration, and would love to have you join me on this upcoming, fabulous new app. Pinya is a new serial platform out of the Philipines. Pinya is Tagalog for pineapple. It’s a sweet, delicious serial platform of webcomics and webnovels with a similar experience to Tapas. I am doing the move right now, with two episodes releasing a week. I could up it to three a week in December if I get comment requests to do so. Any new novels, and I have a novella in the works, will be on that app.
As far as Love Over Kpop on Tapas, I do plan to leave it there until the migration is complete. I am starting to feel like this is all deja-vue. Tapas is the third serial platform that this novel has appeared on. The difference though, I loved the Tapas community, and this webnovel was absolutely complete when I posted it. In fact, I enjoyed adding two bonus episodes and gave it even more of a polish. So, I have to thank Tapas for the serial home it has been for the last year. I will miss it.
If you’d like to join me over on Pinya, here is the link:

You can also download the app on Android phones. It is currently being approved for the IOS/Apple store now. So, look for it soon there. I’d love to have you join me as I continue my webnovel journey on this new app.
I also have an account on Wattpad as well. You can find me at:

I have another webnovel called “Saving My Heart” there.
Also, if you’d like to support me, I just set up a Ko-fi account. Since I didn’t make the 100 subscribers needed to get monetized on Tapas, basically, I haven’t made any income from this novel there. Granted, it is a labor of love, but also, I have to eat too. So, I’d love any support. Buy me a coffee. Help me finish more novels. Maybe a sequel. I definitely have a novella I’m working on that will likely make it onto Pinya. Plus, on Wattpad, I have a completed webnovel called “Saving My Heart”. It’s home is there for now. I also have other ebooks and print editions available on online retailers. You can find my books listed in the book section on this website.
Support me at Ko-fi:
So, I guess, this is it for an update. If there is any other info, I will be sure to post it. But I’m starting to wind down everything on Tapas, and invite you to join me on Pinya. If you’d like to keep up with all my endeavors, please subscribe to my website blog.
And Tapas, in true Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy fashion, thanks for all the fish.
