Chapter 404 - Diplomatic Mingling

Notes : Chapter 109 of Manaforged Robotics has been written and added to the queue !

Well, didn't expect to write more MFR so soon, but I got a surge of inspiration. Worry not though, I'm still focusing on and writing The Fallen World.

Chapter 403 - The New Dungeon Order

Notes : Chapter 407 has been written and added to the queue !

So it begins again ! Sorry for how long it took me to get back to The Fallen World ! I hope you'll enjoy the new chapters !

Also, book 10 is now available for preorder, releasing in less than a month, on the 24th of february ! I'll probably do a full announcement tomorrow, before the next chapter. I was going to do one today, but I got distracted writing, and there were some complications with the preorder itself earlie...

Chapter 108 - Enchanting

Notes : Chapter 406 of The Fallen World has been written and added to the queue !

Alright, the last chapter of MFR for a bit. I have 109 partially written, but for now my attention is on book 11 of The Fallen World, especially since book 10 comes out in a month (and one day). We'll see how it works out.

See you sunday for chapter 403 of The Fallen World ! I know some of you have been waiting for a while for it !

The Fallen World Book 11 Small Character Poll

Heya guys ! This was to ask you which minor characters you would like to see more of in The Fallen World book 11, since the start of the novel is usually where I can slot in some checkups without fucking up the pacing. This is mainly so some secondary characters don't fall into obscurity, especially as some have been less important due to the expanding scope. As usual, I expect CQ to win by a landslide, but I'd like to see which other characters I should dedicate a chapter to.

As usual,...

Chapter 107 - Discovery

Notes :

Yes, Rafnar Caldon is one of the book's readers. One of the earliest. The reason for this honor is that they have run numerous psyops on me, including making an argument at the start of the story that Sapphiria should be short due to her mass limitations in her pod. And that is among many, MANY other things.

If that character ever meets Sapphiria, he will most likely make a comment on her height and get decked. We shall see.

Anyway, chapter 108 tomorrow, and after th...

Chapter 106 - Snapping

Notes : Chapter 405 of The Fallen World has been written and added to the queue !

Thank you guys for all the support yesterday ! It was really heartening.

I was planning on doing a poll for TFW, on which characters you guys would like to see more of, but only once chapter 403 was out. Given the pace I'm writing at however, it may be worth doing it sooner.

Chapter 105 - Stand Together or Not At All

Notes : Chapter 404 of The Fallen World has been written and added to the queue !

Apologies for the late chapter upload. I had a ping warning about it on discord. I...well, I was vague about it on discord (though I did ask everyone to wish me good luck), but I did my coming out to my parents, with the help of my big brother and his wife. It was extremely stressful and I was terrified things would end badly, but it went well !

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this chapter ! I had a lot ...

Chapter 104 - Unforeseen Consequences

Notes : Chapter 403 of The Fallen World has been written and added to the queue !

Ah ! First chapter of TFW in months, and it's announced on a chapter with the most common name in that story, ironic or what ?

Anyway ! I hope you'll enjoy ! This chapter, and the next one especially, were VERY fun to write.

Chapter 103 - Run Hand Run.

Notes :

Started writing for The Fallen World again, notably chapter 403, and I'm having a bit of trouble, because about half of the time I write Sapphiria instead of Alexandra XD

No idea if I'll continue both stories simultaneously for now, or take a pause on writing MFR. Probably the former, but you never know. I do need to write a bit for TFW though, it is only fair, chapter 402 was put up in october after all.

I'll also probably put up a poll for it, for which characters ...

Chapter 102 - Rapid Buildup

Notes : Chapter 108 has been written and added to the queue !

Welp. It turns out, ARC Raiders did NOT separate the matchmaking system for solo play and squad play. They have something that 'tags' you as PvP or PvE depending on if you shoot people. And since yesterday was a coop bloodbath, I got tagged as PvP all the way.

Which means that now I'm stuck in an infinite loop of being attacked by everybody. And literally the only way to get out of it is just to die over and over and ov...

Chapter 101 - First Spell

Note : Chapter 107 has been written and added to the queue !

Wew. Today was tiring, but fun. ARC Raiders in squad mode is a MASSIVE bloodbath.

With chapter 107, that's about two thirds of the way through book 3. Hot damn. I could probably finish the book before the end of the month, but I should probably start switching gears to The Fallen World.

And yes, I was tempted to call the chapter 'spellcasting 101', but it would have been redundant. Still, Sapphiria's first spell be...

Chapter 100 ! Wooo !

Wrote three chapters this morning, so I'm a bit winded, but I'm happy where I ended up.

Construction is also going like crazy in the place next door. They're drilling directly in the wall separating my building from theirs and it is SO loud. Gods. I thought construction was supposed to be over a month ago, but no ! The bureaucrats are never satisfied, apparently.

I hope you...

Chapter 99 - Runes

Notes : Chapters 102 and 103 have been written and added to the queue !

Man I've been tired lately. There's also been a lot of snow, which is super scenic.

I will probably need to switch to TFW soonish. In part because it's been a while, in part because my publisher is trying to get book 10 published ASAP, which means that the backlog will evaporate.

Apologies for the late upload, had a nap and forgot to set it up in advance.

I'm kind of worried how I handled this chapter, and I'm not sure it all makes sense right now. The problem is Kalia's personality. She's not a 'That's impossible !' lady denying crap to herself, if she's presented with new data, she asks questions, analyses, and then if she believes the source of that information is trustworthy, integrates it.

Note : Chapter 97 has been written and added to the queue !

I actually looked if there was a Revelations related starship name and I found the Promised Revelation Covenant Frigate from Halo, but it was a very obscure one. Oh well.

Paul and Ramina nodded. Ramina she'd promised to bring along. Paul she'd had to accept coming along because of Kalia.

[MFR] Lore File - The City of Spires

Notes :

Might make it available to preservers after a bit, might not. Usually I write these solely for my benefit, but this one proved to be spoiler free, so I was able to share it.

(Yes, that is why there hasn't been lore files in a while on patreon, they tend to be riddled with spoilers, when the subject itself isn't spoilery as all hell)

Happy holidays everyone ! A bit early perhaps, but I'm celebrating Christmas tomorrow, my family having nurses and engineers in it that have to stand guard over our hospitals and critical infrastructure during the normal dates.

Wew. These last few days have SUCKED. For those who haven't heard, there's been something of a mess on the indie publishing scene.

Apologies for the late upload, forgot to schedule it and got into an extremely bad Pathfinder session, where I failed to roll above a 7 and the writers of the module were insanely obtuse and clearly had good ideas, but with terrible execution.
