Ach! Two weeks since I posted...

Went from heaters on at night to air conditioning during the day. Weird.

The full time move from Webnovel is complete and seems to be working well. I've got chapters scheduled ahead of time, and the Great Thenthan Hunt has eliminated far more of the buggers than I thought existed.

Thanks to all my new readers for the support, it really does help with the bills, and make me confident in not having to edit every day so I can get chapters out.

I will say that we are getting to the home stretch of the Far Future. I just finished chapter 311, so I'm about 55 chapters ahead of the public material, and events are starting to sweep towards the finishing moves. There's less show time with Sama, and more focus on the mechanisms and forces she has put into place and set into motion. Multiple players are moving, and the board is changing...

After that, I have to determine the new setting, and how it is going to integrate with the original one. Sama is not alone from the Power of Ten, of course...

My main options are Power of Ten in a cultivation novel setting (oh god, would they hate Forsaken), an E6 Urban Fantasy setting in Modern tech levels (still debating on magic public ala Shadowrun, or in the shadows), or a superhero novel, where the ability to take Class Levels is going to look very weird in a Superhero universe... especially if normal people can start taking them! You've all read the Sama superhero marvel universe thing, where all the bad side effects of your Mutant powers can be done away with by directing your power into your psionic Class instead... a huge change from Marvel!

While I would like to write characters in the Marvel and DC universes, doing so gives up my characters to them by the fanfiction rules. I would effectively have to 'write out' all the Power of Ten specific stuff... although there is nothing that says I couldn't do that, I'd just have to rename the character and stick closer to D&D Stuff and terms.

So, a rousing fanfiction is still a potential thing, and has the benefit of an established universe we all know and love.

I should have Fluffy set up a survey on Discord or something.

(Edit) Any Marvel/DC fanfic is off the table. However, a custom superhero world is certainly possible. It's been damn near forty years since I thought up Skylad, and Paragon, Primus, and the Dragon and the Phoenix world is certainly there...

I will say that 'magic returns to the modern world' is also off the table... because that is the theme of the first and central Power of Ten story we still have to get online, and it drives all the others.

I agree with cultivation, my other choice would be more of the modern one.

I am at constant war with There/They're myself. As for the setting of the next book? I've done a little thinking and have thrown up my hands. While superheros would be interesting I don't want Marvel/DC stuff but rather homemade stuff from one of the superhero RPGs as that feels like it would fit the theme better. Besides that while I agree with InadvisablyCompelled that cultivation would be a good fit it is very close to WH40K and so could stray close to just repeating the current story if you aren't careful. You've done classic fantasy and future grimdark so the modern/near future superhero does seem like a good next step. Though other possible modern settings would be one of the hidden magic settings like the World of Darkness stuff or the ever popular magic returns to the earth in modern times setting (with or without the ever present zombies/monsters).
