After a short delay due to some IRL responsibilities, the ebooks are finished. I also finally found a name I liked to replace the placeholder.

2024-09-19 23:21:37 +0000 UTCBeautiful! I think this one is one of my favourites. Your way of writing -- the ability to create both slow, romantic stories and more high-paced, high octane ones -- is incredible. Keep up the great work!

Snekguy
2024-09-11 22:06:49 +0000 UTCPuttin in the work. Nice job on the story btw. Loved the world, loved the characters and I especially loved the high octane fight with the backstabbers. It is nice to see a little dangerous safari in these stories after all the fighting against superintelligent space bugs and the like. Cheers mate, I can't wait to see where we get to go next in your setting.(But nevertheless I will wait, patiently)

Snekguy
2024-08-31 01:11:57 +0000 UTCThe first 5000 words are edited. Bit of a slow start, but I’ve also been working on concept art for the next story today, so look forward to seeing that soon.
Snekguy
2024-08-30 01:46:43 +0000 UTCAs the stories get longer on average other stories get shorter retroactively. It's science.
Snekguy
2024-08-30 01:46:26 +0000 UTCI remember when you did these 3 prompts the idea was to make these on the "shorter" side, I guess after Autumn War 140k words is short now.

New content at “I set you up and everything.” Greener Pastures is finally done, and will be entering the editing phase, which should take about 2 weeks at the longest. The final word count is 140,000. I'll probably take a day off tomorrow to rest because I really wanted to push through and get it done tonight.
