Massive thanks to TargetDrone ! For those who didn't see the note on Chapter 29 of The Dragon Imperium yesterday, my text editor just decided to replace their spell check with an incredibly invasive AI , and declared anything I wrote with it was now theirs to use or sell to train AI systems. I had to scramble for a replacement, and TargetDrone suggested LibreOffice, which allowed me to write the two chapters and save...

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow, chapter 29 of The Dragon Imperium will be the post on patreon.
Also, the results of the poll were overwhelmingly in favor of google doc. I will not do the full switch just yet, as Patreon's text editor is currently working, but I will probably do so in the coming weeks (or whenever the next update breaking everything happens).

2024-05-11 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone.
I wanted to make this announcement for a couple of reasons. The main one is that I followed you guys' advice from a month ago, and set up some things to use google docs to share the advance chapters. Patreon's text editor is seemingly fixed now, but I am utterly sick and tired of having to grapple with it every time there's an update, and there's no telling when it'll break down again.
Thus, I would like to do a poll, to see if you guys would be fine with th...

The attitude in the tent wasn't 'gloomy'. That would imply a spark of light, of hope.

Alexandra popped into the simulation, and sat down in her usual couch.
The fact that said couch had an extremely soft, borderline cloud like air pillow in her usual spot for her to sit upon, or that it was mercifully cool and soothing was something she very deliberately did not remark upon.
They could be teasing, but push came to shove her and Ghost would stand together.
