The Autumn War

The Coalition launches a full-scale planetary invasion to recapture the lost colony of Kerguela, seeking to drive off the occupying Betelgeusians who have claimed the moon as their territory. As war rages all around them, a special forces team led by a grizzled veteran hunts down a mysterious signal, while a Marine and some unlikely allies embark on a mission to take down a cunning enemy that threatens the success of the campaign.

Snekguy

3000 word update, new content at 'She extended an arm with what might be a small cut or a burn' Thanks for your patience, I feel a bit better after taking a couple of days to sleep it off. Please excuse me posting updates at unusual times for a little while as I get back on schedule.

Snekguy

I'm still pretty sick, and it's disrupting my work schedule, so I'm gonna take a couple of days off to recoup, maybe work on some non-writing stuff like getting the audiobook uploaded.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at ‘The buggy bounced along the street until they came to another obstacle’

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Perhaps I’ll help the Workers pour carbcrete,”

Snekguy

Had to do some more tax stuff today, and it's a bit late to start an update now, so I'll resume work tomorrow.

Snekguy

Glad you enjoyed it, dude! I'm really looking forward to getting it finalized.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “I thought you liked all the attention?”

Snekguy

This story is amazing. I’ve read all of your works, some many times over, but this one really stands out.

estaenlasombra

2000 word update, new content at “I’ll bet you could hire some Valbaran city planners,”

Snekguy

I'm pretty sick today and I've been sleeping a lot, so I'm gonna take a day off just to reset, and I'll resume updating tomorrow.

Snekguy

1500 word update, was unexpectedly busy today. New content at “I do know how to pick them,”

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “I’m just going to be happy to get a few hours of sleep,”

Snekguy

There was no time for an update today because I was working on tax stuff. Half of it is done, and I have to wait for registration to open for the other half, so I'll resume updating tomorrow.

Snekguy

1500 word update, new content at ‘The pinpoint of light at the end of the lava tube’ The update is a bit smaller today because I had to deal with some audiobook stuff. The final payment has been sent off, and I should be ready to start the publishing process pretty soon. Just FYI, the next few days are probably gonna be pretty hectic between that and tax season. I’ll need a couple of days off to deal with all of that when they make the online reports available.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “I am dry!”

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Tatzi, get down to the other end of the tunnel!”

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at ‘They rounded the bend and came across the carnage left over from the initial firefight’

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at 'Evan only caught glimpses of carnage in the melee'

Snekguy

All of the proofing work on the audiobook is done, and there's nothing left to do now that will require any significant time investment until it's ready to be uploaded.

Snekguy

I've proofed eight of the ten Goetic Justice chapters, so I'll be done by tomorrow, and I will resume updating on Wednesday. Sorry for the delay, but expecting seven hours of footage to take seven hours to proof was clearly not a realistic estimate on my part.

Snekguy

Proofing of the audiobook is probably gonna take another day.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Fuck it, open fire!” I also went back and made some small tweaks to the previous scene.

Snekguy

This next scene is very complex and has ended up being quite challenging. I got stuck on it for long enough that I've run out of time, so I'll give it another crack tomorrow rather than try to rush the update out tonight.

Snekguy

A little over 2000 words today, new content at “She’s got you there,”

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “I think we’re clear,”

Snekguy

Took a break to do some planning today, I really want the encounter with the Queen to be suitably climactic and interesting. I think I have enough of a framework to resume writing tomorrow.

Snekguy

1500 word update, new content at “Teething issues,” Had to do some art stuff today, and the new weapon sheet is ready to share!

Snekguy

Thanks dude, I appreciate it. This one has been a huge project, and I'm looking forward to wrapping it up and getting it into people's hands. I'm almost at the epilogue.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at ‘As it tried to raise its rifle to shoot back’

Snekguy

My dude, I normally wait till your done with these to crack into em but got impatient for this one. I gotta say I'm truly impressed with the scope your going for on this story. I've been reading your stuff for a bit now and your growth as a writer has been really fun to see

The Glimmering Warlock

2000 word update, new content at “Contacts ahead,”

Snekguy

1500 word update, was a little busy today. New content at “We have heavy infantry in the tunnel!”

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Get ready, Yates!”

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Oh, she’s here,”

Snekguy

I gotta be up super early, which unfortunately means no time for an update, but I'll get an early one out for you guys tomorrow.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “The egg chambers are always close to the Queen.”

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Sounds like one of the other teams is having a party,”

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “We don’t have anything that can stop that thing!”

Snekguy

The last audiobook prelim has been reviewed. After the reshoots are finished, I'm going to listen through the finalized chapters to check for errors one last time, and that should be it!

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “You’d be surprised by what you can make by hand,” Just a heads up, I have more audiobook stuff to review tomorrow, so expect a smaller or no update depending on how long it takes. Almost done now, this is the last preview I have to check before the final version is ready for proofing.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Stay put while we fetch everyone else,”

Snekguy

Groovy

Giggles fun time

I proofed the 9th chapter of the audiobook today, so I didn't have time for an update. It's very long, and very raunchy! There's only one chapter left to go, which is more of an epilogue, so that shouldn't take much time at all. It's looking like maybe a couple of weeks before it's ready to share. I also just commissioned a cover for Widow's Welcome, so that'll be coming soon too.

Snekguy

1500 word update, new content at “This isn’t exactly my idea of a pleasant stroll either,”

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “I have painkillers for burns, but they’re for humans,”

Snekguy

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Shit, I can put a shell up a Bug’s asshole at two hundred yards,”

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Workers are generally pretty sociable and amenable,”

Snekguy

Proofed chapter 8 of the audiobook today, so no time for an update. I apologize for the disruption, but we're on a pretty tight schedule for the reshoots and it's just an unavoidable part of the process.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Textbook,”

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Something hunts us.”

Snekguy

Took me a while to proof the audiobook chapter (it was over an hour of audio!) so I didn't have time for an update today.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at ‘She threw the now immobilized Warrior off her’ Just a heads up, I have another chapter of Goetic Justice to review tomorrow, so the update may be a little smaller than usual depending on how much time it takes.

Snekguy

A little under 2000 words today, new content at “Here’s something that we can blow up,”

Snekguy

1500 word update, new content at “Trust me, you don’t need to see this.” I'm going to be taking a day or two off to play the new Destiny 2 expansion that's coming out tomorrow. They only release every few years so it's a bit of an event.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “I was kind of expecting them to put up more of a fight,” I made a small retcon and changed the Trog cyclotron to a microwave emitter, because I felt like the cyclotron was too powerful and had too many other technological implications for the setting. I also busted the original Autumn War web page either through too many consecutive updates or the story just being too large, so I had to replace it, but it should work just the same and all the old links should work.

Snekguy

I had to do a lot of traveling today, and I was pretty tired, so I decided to work on some art-related stuff that didn't require quite as much brain power as an update.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “What the fuck is a tunnel worm?”

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at ‘The heavy claw fell to the ground beside her’

Snekguy

1500 word update, new content at “Is this all they were able to salvage after the battle?” Had to deal with some more Amazon stuff, but it's getting along.

Snekguy

2500 word update, new content at “They’ll know that we’re there.”

Snekguy

Due to the plagiarism situation, much of my writing time today was spent getting in touch with Amazon and other affected authors. I got half an update done, so I'll add that to tomorrow's update and make it a beefy one.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “It’s not a debate, Private,”

Snekguy

It does seem a bit odd.

Robert Gilbert

I had to do some family stuff today, which unfortunately didn't leave time for an update.

Snekguy

I know it's for the sake of tension, action and such, but the fact that the bugs have managed to consistently catch the Coalition off-guard over and over again almost feels a little slapstick. It's like they can't look ahead at possible dangers beyond ones that the bugs have already thrown at them.

Alledge

2000 word update, new content at “The engineers cleared away all the mines, right?”

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at ‘Vos stood on the carrier’s observation deck’

Snekguy

I wasn't happy with what I wrote today, so I'm gonna start over tomorrow.

Snekguy

Took a day off writing today to proof 4 chapters of the audiobook. It's coming along really nicely and I'll have some very cool clips to share with you guys soon.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “I guess I’m grounded, then,”

Snekguy

1500 word update, new content at “Back into the IFV!” I was pretty busy with art stuff today. We have a new cover on the way, as well as a sheet of handguns. Just a heads up, tomorrow is the 1st, so I'll be taking a day off for community day. You guys submitted a lot of stories for me to read!

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Yeah, I think we got that,”

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Let’s get moving before more of them show up to investigate,”

Snekguy

2600 word update, new content at ‘They mowed down the remaining Bugs’

2000 word update, new content at 'Evan reloaded his rifle, letting the red-hot coils beneath his barrel shroud cool'

Snekguy

1500 word update, new content at ‘Evan saw the Drones appear on his HUD as red outlines as they neared’ Was doing more audiobook stuff today, and I’ll have some more previews to share soon!

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Get us moving!” Just a heads up, I need to review the first couple of chapters for the Goetic Justice audiobook tomorrow, so that will likely result in me not having enough time for an update.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at 'It only took them a few more minutes to cover the rest of the distance'

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at 'The Kodiaks ahead of them began to move'

Snekguy

1500 word update, new content at “It’s hard to tell what time it is on this moon,” Had to deal with some audiobook stuff today. It's looking like we're maybe a couple of weeks out from release.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at 'The first shot had perhaps been for rangefinding purposes'

Snekguy

Had to do my taxes today, and it's a bit late to start an update, so I'll resume work tomorrow.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “We have to fight through that?”

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “It took them a while, but I think they’ve warmed up to us,”

Snekguy

Planning for the next big battle scene took a lot of time, so unfortunately I didn't get a full update out, but I feel confident proceeding tomorrow.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at 'Jade and her Jarilan counterparts appeared with Sunny in tow'

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Strap in tight,”

Snekguy

I had to supress a bout of giddy cackling and fist-punching when I got to the part about Sunny. My colleagues already think I’m a bit of an eccentric, no need to encourage that impression further.

estaenlasombra

I promise we're on the final stretch, lol.

Snekguy

1500 word update, new content at “Follow me across!”

Snekguy

Snekguy

1500 word update, new content at “You’re giving this to me?” I cut it a little short today because I want to take some time to properly research and design the Bug defenses.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “You can really do this,”

Snekguy

1500 word update, new content at “We can catch up later,” I felt a tad better today, so I got most of an update done. I'm still not expecting to resume my normal schedule until after the holidays though.

Snekguy

Thanks!

Snekguy

Get well soon, and enjoy your Christmas!

Saro13

I appear to have caught a winter flu (no indication that it's Covid), so I'm gonna take a couple of days to try and sleep it off and get some rest. Christmas is coming up so I would likely be pretty busy anyway. I may still release some updates over the next few days, but I'm not gonna push myself super hard to meet my daily quota right now. If the illness runs its course as I expect it will, I should be back up and running after Christmas, maybe on the 26th. I might do some maintenance work on the site or flesh out the wiki in the meantime, because that's a bit less taxing.

2000 word update, new content at “Understood, Ensi. We’re five minutes from your position.”

Snekguy

Thanks for the catches!

Snekguy

Hey, have some feedback for the latest updates. "He began to empty his chest ring of what magazines still remained" chest ring -> chest rig I assume "You guys sure like putting gardens where they have business being." should read "have no buisness being."

Zathas

2000 word update, new content at “Let’s get a little closer first,”

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Can’t be too careful, right?”

Typo in the paragraph that starts with ‘Slowly’…you typed “One one of the Warriors…” I’m assuming that second ‘one’ was not meant to be there.

Okay, I think I have enough planned to resume work tomorrow.

Snekguy

I'm taking today and tomorrow off to plan the next chapter. Since this will be the largest battle I've ever written with lots of moving parts to keep track of, I want to make sure I have everything ironed out before I start writing it.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “Do you feel that?” I originally gave Xipa proto-feathers, but it complicates the cover art and it’s never really come up in the story, so I may switch her to standard scales. I’ll put in a pin in that for now.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at ‘She picked up the wine bottle by the neck and downed the rest of its contents’

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “You never really told me what happened between you and your family,”

Snekguy

I'm going to need to take a short break from writing to edit the next story that's going to be made into an audiobook. It needs to be ready for October when recording is scheduled to begin, so it's just something unavoidable that I have to get done. It should only take three or four days, and I'll make an updated ebook for you guys too. Full announcement coming tomorrow!

I think it would be great if you had Evan and Jade return and they bump into Hernandez and Tatzi, who were also sneaking off for a bit of rumpy pumpy.

2000 word update, new content at 'Two of the Supermajors turned to face the squad' Bit of an update on the audiobook side: it cleared quality control today and has been approved for distribution. It should be live basically everywhere in the coming days. I don't have an exact ETA, could be a week or so, but once it's available through my main distributor, I'll release the DRM-free version via Patreon. I plan to introduce a new tier for audiobooks later down the line, but for this release, everyone at the Broker tier is getting a copy.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at 'The Kodiaks were making short work of the pillboxes' I'm going to be uploading the finished audiobook to Audible tomorrow, and I'm not sure how long the process will take or how involved it will be. I'll also be making the v3 version of the Pinwheel ebook and uploading that, so tomorrow's update may be smaller/non-existent depending on the time it takes. Anyone who purchased the ebook on Amazon or Smashwords should get an automatic update, and it will be available on Patreon, naturally.

2000 word update, new content at “Saddle up!”

Snekguy

I’d spend a few days focusing on the differences between Coalition and Valbara forces. Then have the battle.

Robert Gilbert

I'm not satisfied with what I wrote today, I need to take some more time tomorrow to revise the scene and make it more interesting. Another battle scene needs to be justified through some new and creative elements rather than just doing the same thing again.

1500 word update, new content at 'When they emerged on the other side' I went back and removed the previous interaction between Fletcher and Bluejay, because I felt it was a tad out of character and doesn't really align very well with what I want to do with them. There probably won't be an update tomorrow, because I'm expecting to be able to release all the details about the game I've been working on, and writing up those posts will take up a fair bit of time.

We finished up the titling work on the Conjunction cover today, so that's ready to go, and we now have a cover on the way for Silent Vigil too. It ran pretty late so I'm going to call it there and get an early start tomorrow.

Snekguy

Alright. I just thought that describing something as a "rehydrated fluid" was rather odd. Perhaps referencing it as "brown fluid" instead and referring to it only as "liquid" later in the paragraph to avoid repetition? But you do whatever you feel is best.

Zathas

Fixed the typo, thanks. The liquid is either coffee or soda, but since the scene is written from the perspective of Xipa, she has no idea what those things are. To her, it's a nameless, brown liquid.

Snekguy

2000 word update, new content at “I actually feel a little better,”

Snekguy

I think he either gave him cola or coffee/tea.

Robert Gilbert

Slight issue with the new update, mostly with this paragraph: "She watched him as he thrust a cup of rehydrated fluid in front of Bluejay, insisting that the alien try it, laughing at his displease as he spat the brown liquid out of his proboscis like a straw." Displease should be displeasure, and what is 'rehydrated liquid' supposed to be? And why is it brown? Is it supposed to be some kind of cola?

Zathas

Alright, been a while since I've done one of these backseat editing's. But love the story so far by the way. The actual conflict makes it a bit more interesting to read compared to Rask Rebellion's steamrolling.

The cover is well underway, I've received some WIPs, and the recording is in the final stages of editing. It may be a little time yet before it's out, as I want to time the Patreon release with the Audible release, and it will have to go through their approval process, but I'll be posting teasers and samples as soon as I'm able.

Snekguy

I've read the last part of this update several times. Loving the interactions. I can't tell if Hernandez knows he's flirting/riling up Tatzi or not. I would like to think he knows what he's doing and purposely getting her hot and bothered for a steamy session before their next deployment.

I had quite a bit of work to do on audiobook and videogame related stuff today, so I didn't have time for an update. Some news: the audiobook is in the final phases of editing and retakes, and is practically finished. Honovy is interested in doing the cover for it, and we're currently working out the details of how that will look. I did some interviews for the game, that's all wrapped up. No new details that I'm allowed to share, but the release is definitely close now.

I was unexpectedly busy today, and what time I did have was mostly spent on art-related stuff. I have some new stuff to show, and I also have a cover on the way for Conjunction. I'll add what I wrote today to tomorrow's update.

Snekguy

I have half-convinced myself that the Jarilan queen might be seeking to increase her hive’s genetic diversity by expanding her library of human genetic material. Her daughters may or may not be privy to this hypothetical plan, but maybe they’re able to store the gametes they receive and deliver them to the queen when/if they return to Jarilo
