Added 2017-09-21 17:45:22 +0000 UTCHere's the start of a new story about the Betelgeusians, the insectoid antagonists of my Pinwheel series.

Nvm I fixed it. Pasting it into Notepad++, and then back into the ODT not only fixes the spazzy text, but it also somehow makes it obey the line break settings. Fuck knows why.

2017-11-29 19:42:46 +0000 UTCFinished! I had intended to release the Ebook today, but I'm having some weird issues that I've never encountered before, anyone know why the formatting is spazzing out like this? i.imgur.com/GSzvK1l.png It only happens at random parts of chapters 4 and 17, everywhere else the formatting is correct. It always ends up like this, even if I strip it of all formatting and paste the raw text back in.

Snekguy
2017-11-27 22:50:22 +0000 UTCThe first 30,000 words are edited and chaptered, up to chapter 6. Looks like it will take me three or four days at this rate.

2017-11-25 21:03:33 +0000 UTC1000 word update, finished! Now I have to edit and add in a few missing scenes, which is going to be a lengthy process. I'll keep you updated and post the progress that I make, but don't expect any new content for at least a few days. My new editing process produces far better results, but the downside is that it takes much longer, and this story is the longest I've ever written at 105,000 words.

SketchyWarrior
2017-11-15 04:47:02 +0000 UTCNothing wrong with a retcon to fit the story better. Nice thing about writing it in chunks is being able to revise it as you go.
Kami-Kaze
2017-11-15 02:05:36 +0000 UTC2000 word update, along with a small retcon. Kaz no longer escapes the military base, I've found a more fitting role for her in the story going forward.

2017-11-13 04:12:11 +0000 UTCI appreciate your feedback, and I'm glad you're enjoying this one! I hope you weren't annoyed by some continuity errors and a few missing scenes, I plan to polish those up in editing when I have everything straight.

I've never commented before, but I have to say you have, without a doubt, become one of my favorite authors anywhere. I'm in love with every story you produce. Can not wait for the continuation. Thank you again for what you do.

Snekguy
2017-11-05 19:44:51 +0000 UTCI may not be able to get an update out today, as I've been hiring more artists and I've had to do a lot of emailing, contract writing and price negotiating. The silver lining is that we'll hopefully have a lot more art on the way soon.
Snekguy
2017-11-05 17:38:12 +0000 UTCI'm looking forward to this story being updated again. As spectacular as Date with a Drifter was, I find myself anticipating this one quite a bit. Dammit, Snekyguy. What have you done to me.

Snekguy
2017-10-14 02:55:31 +0000 UTCFor anyone not aware, today is almost certainly Snekguy's off-day since Plains and all. By the way Snek, how is it? I'm currently just trying to armwrestle their website into functioning.
Kami-Kaze
2017-10-13 20:15:01 +0000 UTCI'm curious as to how long walkers sensibilities will hold out for. The honeypots are an Intriguing concept, and it's always fun to see what you've added to your stories, boobie bugs included.
Cibervader
2017-10-12 19:42:48 +0000 UTC2000 word update, I'm curious how you guys will react to the repletes. The alternative to boob juice is having them regurgitate the food, which isn't much better lol. This also gives me and excuse to put huge tits on insects that should absolutely not have them.

2017-10-11 17:52:34 +0000 UTCHope you have fun, really. And RE: the previous 'oh no too long' thing, I think most people reading this stuff are probably in it for the writing that isn't smut as much as the smut. If you don't like a bunch of story, why like some /wst/ instead of pornhub I guess?
Kami-Kaze
2017-10-11 13:16:05 +0000 UTC2000 word update, and just a heads up, I'm going to be taking a day off some time this week to binge on Plains of Eidolon. Not sure when the update drops, but it's usually on Fridays.

You have failed to disappoint me in your previous stories, very curious to see where this takes off. The hype for me right now is currently real, edge of my seat. I’m just so happy that you gave me the link to your Patreon, you do amazing work and the best part is that you always keep everyone updated and never fail to put out an update even if you did less then scheduled. I’d imagine it’ll take some extra thinking for this one so don’t over exert yourself, but just know it’ll be appreciated! You’re the best dude, hope you enjoy making the stories just as much as I love reading them! Much respect.
