It's History - First Access!

Hello to all my brilliant $10 patreons!

Thank you for your patience! The first half of It's History is finally here!

"Lucas gains access to a tome that can rewrite a person’s history and have those changes echo out into reality and forward to the present day. Soon though he learns that changing the past comes with unforeseen consequences, and the book is none too keen on letting him alter things he's already edited. Will he be able to set things right? Or will his nice normal life become ancient history?"

The wordcount on this one got away from me a little - what else is new? This chunk clocks in at 14455 words and represents 3/8 chapters. The next one's gonna be a biggie, but the fact that I've got a lot of the groundwork laid for it will be a big help.

It was fun to write something a little more conventionally dramatic again. These being early chapters, there's a lot of setup to be done, but I'm very excited for how it all plays out.

Honestly, this story actually took on quite a life of it's own.  It's more apparent in the second half, but it diverged wildly from my initial plans. 

For example, the original outline called for the protagonist to tg himself fairly early on, but taking the time out to focus on the protagonist adapting to his feminization ended up completely throwing off the pacing - it either happened too soon and stole all the focus, or it happened too late and felt like a distraction from the plot. I'll chock it down as another learning experience - If you're going to focus on a character's journey as the opposite sex, you really need to make it the focus.

The end result was, well,  less tg than I'd like, and it all comes later than I'd like. I know that will come as a disappointment for some of you, but I hope you can still enjoy the story's other fine merits. I'll make it up to you in the next story, I promise!

Special thank you on this one to Sci, Coth, Loonicy, and Po for being my second-fifth set of eyes, to the love of my life for everything they do, and to you for your continued patience and support!

The second half should be - tentatively - the weekend of the 16th, and I'll be sure to keep you all posted if that changes.

Remember, if you ever want to see how the second half is doing, or you just want to talk, feel free to come on by the discord! I love hearing from you! I'm also still doing my year-of-challenges and this month's is a very fun choose your own adventure.

Thank you again, and enjoy.
