Update and The Eternal Seeker Saga
Added 2021-10-30 21:19:28 +0000 UTCAlright, so. This post is to address...a bunch of things at once.
First things first, a lot of you have noticed that I have not been as active as I usually am this month. The reasons for that are simple : earlier this month I suffered what might be called an accute case of writer's block...and at the beginning of this week my internet connection died, and I've just spend the rest of the week running around trying to fix it and all the problems it created. There was an update on discord about it, but I forgot to make one on patreon, my apologies.
Next, I've had some questions in PMs both on patreon and on discord about the upload schedule. Notably people are wondering why there aren't regular chapter uploads for preservers and archivists. The answer is simple : within minutes, or at most, hours of me completing a chapter, it is posted on patreon. Simple as that, and usually it takes hours only if I am having my keepers go over the chapter because I think I fucked up, or I am writing another chapter and will post them all as a batch.
Which brings me to my next point. Next month, on november, I plan on uploading the 12 chapters of my new story, The Eternal Seeker Saga, on patreon. But the questions that were asked in the previous point raise an interesting problem. Would you prefer to have all of those chapters uploaded at once, or uploaded on a schedule ?
Note that the terms for this story will be the same as for The Fallen World : A Dungeon's Story, meaning preservers and archivists will get all the chapters currently written, and the librarians will get 3 chapters in advance. Given that I do not currently have an RR release planned for this story as I consider the current backlog for it to be too small....well, that means librarians will only get chapters 1, 2 and 3 until I actually start posting it online. If I post it online, since novelization is still a possibility that I have not discarded yet.
Some of you might wonder what The Eternal Seeker Saga is about. In short, it is about the adventures of Sarah Ciel-étoilé and her mercenary company, onboard the eponymous Eternal Seeker gunship. The story is set in a sci-fi universe, the main universe I have been working on for 9 years, in a future far, far from now, where Earth is nothing but a distant memory, and humanity is clawing back from a million years long interstellar dark age. Sarah and her company get caught in the conspiracies and shadowy organizations fighting covertly in a galaxy on the edge of total war, as an intergalactic empire staggers at the edge of collapse, and everyone poises themselves to tear it's remnants to pieces and claim it's territory for themselves. But will that empire fall...or will it endure ? And while everyone prepares for war, an organization sets events into motion that could change the face of the universe...
