Human Resources
Added 2024-01-16 06:07:55 +0000 UTCThe next story has begun! This is the second of the three ‘state of the Galaxy’ stories that were voted on by the Patreon community, this time featuring the Valbarans.
An ice miner on the barren moon of Ganymede gets the break of a lifetime when a UN job placement program selects him for relocation to Valbara, a lush paradise world full of mystery and opportunity. When he arrives, he quickly realizes that the alien culture will take some getting used to, and that office politics are just as difficult to navigate as subsurface tunnels.

2024-05-19 16:21:44 +0000 UTCThat’s a wrap! The bisexual version is finished. All that’s left to do now is proofread the added content and run it through Grammarly. Hoping to have that done next week.
Snekguy
2024-05-18 23:47:21 +0000 UTC1500 words, chapter 21 and all the additional Yemi content for that is done. All that’s left to handle now is the epilogue. Hoping I can get that done tomorrow so I can finish the last of the proofreading and Grammar passes next week. The cover is basically done so I should be able to move on to the ebooks right away.
Snekguy
2024-05-18 04:27:45 +0000 UTC2300 words for the bi version, a lot of new content. From ‘It was a struggle to pull back’
Snekguy
2024-05-17 04:35:35 +0000 UTC2500 words, I’m adding some new content here to better incorporate Yemi into this final scene. Not much left to go now!
Snekguy
2024-05-16 02:53:24 +0000 UTCAnother 10,000 words edited, chapter 20 is done and some of 21.

bigpeenhaver
2024-05-14 01:44:26 +0000 UTC1500 words of new content for the bi version, from “Take a picture – it’ll last longer,” That wraps up Yemi’s chapter. I also edited everything up to chapter 20. On the home stretch now. I also caught a couple of small typos that I’ve reflected in the hetero version.
Snekguy

Snekguy
2024-05-09 05:26:41 +0000 UTCLost a lot of time with art stuff today, but the Human Resources cover is blazing along, and I had an update from Oouna about the size chart project, which is progressing very nicely. We’re potentially getting a truly massive amount of content with that, and I can’t wait to reveal more. Check out a little preview here: https://snekguy.com/2024/05/08/human-resources-editing-21/ I had time to do 1200 words of new content for the bisexual version, starting from Chapter 18. Probably just gonna do a totally bespoke chapter for Yemi.
Snekguy
2024-05-08 03:30:15 +0000 UTCChapter 17 of the bi version is done and there’s about a thousand words of new content. Moving on to 18 now.

Snekguy
2024-05-05 03:56:09 +0000 UTCI've finished incorporating Yemi into Chapter 16, that's 3300 words of new content for the bi version. Completion is about 80%.
Snekguy
2024-05-04 03:00:38 +0000 UTCHad to do art stuff today, but we have a WIP of the cover!
Snekguy
2024-05-03 02:27:13 +0000 UTCAdded about 2000 words of new content to the Bisexual version.
Snekguy
2024-05-02 00:25:21 +0000 UTCAdded a couple of extra fixes to the Hetero version and changed Yeni's name to Qimi to avoid confusion with Yemi. The finalized Hetero version has now been merged into the Bisexual version and I've resumed adding new content to the latter. Added a substantial amount of content to Chapter 16 to include Yemi in the lounge scene. Progress is kind of hard to quantify beyond this point, but I'll keep you updated as best I can. If you'd like to read along with the new additions, I'm only including content up to the part that's been edited so you won't overshoot.
Snekguy
2024-05-01 02:04:39 +0000 UTCAll chapters of the Hetero version have been run through Grammarly, moving on to the Bi version now.
Snekguy
2024-04-30 02:15:18 +0000 UTC7000 words, proofreading on the Hetero version has finished, I’m just running it through Grammarly now. Chapters 1-6 have been finalized.

bigpeenhaver
2024-04-25 07:08:03 +0000 UTCAnother 10,000 words of the hetero version edited. I'll probably split the sex scene up into more manageable chunks as I go.
Snekguy
2024-04-25 03:17:28 +0000 UTCThe story has now been split into hetero and bisexual versions, both accessible from the same link. I’ll be alternating between editing and adding new content as I go. 6000 words of the hetero version have been edited today, up to Chapter 16. 1200 words of new content have been added to the bisexual version at the end of Chapter 14.
Snekguy
2024-04-23 23:07:53 +0000 UTC5000 words edited, up to Chapter 15. I also rewrote the LPD test scene to be a little less of an OSHA violation, and I've started writing content for the alt version. Don't have time to make the dedicated page for that tonight, but it should be up tomorrow.

2024-04-21 04:40:10 +0000 UTC10,000 words, up to Chapter 14. Current completion is 71%. Progress may slow down a little here as I’m going to be reworking the LPD test scene a little and starting to diverge into the bisexual alt version which requires some new content.

I’m also going to be doing a bisexual alt version, so look forward to that if you’re of the Valboy persuasion.
