Chapter 25: That Feeling

Todd’s group was larger by the time he left the tent. Most of the others in his network had arrived. Even Martin the Weasel, who Todd recognized as probably having a dangerous amount of information the survey was looking for… but who would recognize the ruse even faster than Todd had. The dozen or so there had waited for him to ...

Chapter 7: Culmination

The welcome home for their dad was amazing. He was fine, he would be fine, the burns had been significantly more painful than serious. Three days after the fight, there were only a couple of places on his body that still had gauze wrappings. Heck, he even said they were mostly optional. “I’ll probably take them off before I…” His voice kind of trailed off, his eyes guilty. He looked down at the dinner table, holding plates of sushi ...

Poll Results!

Alrighty, what's you've been waiting for this week. No surprise to anyone watching the poll, but QUARANTEAM: REMOTE WORK won with 17 votes after a massive write-in campaign. I'm presently working on Chapter 15.5 (Intermission 3, title is The Strays) for its usual slot, so Chapter 16 (Massage Therapy) will come at the end of the month.

Second place was Tidbits (14 votes) then I'm Blue (10 votes). I'm going to go ahead and explicitly forbid Remote Work next time around, since it went two ...

Chapter 23: A Second Step

Abbey awoke alone again the next morning, after sleeping the whole night snuggled in her fiance’s arms (objectively the best place to sleep on Earth). She had a little bit of a headache forming and reflexively checked Status. Mana was still lower than she was comfortable with. Actua...

Chapter 6: How to Be a Hero

Tux looked both ways and snuck back into the house. A trellis at the side leading up to Lizzy’s window helped, since at least one of her parents was in the living room watching the news. Her sisters were waiting in the room, and knowing what she had just come from they had supplies ready. Ice water, trail mix, a painkiller, and comfortable clothes she could change into with the assistance of the closet’s privacy. Oh, and some slice...

January Fifth Friday poll!

Hello and welcome back from the holidays! It's about that time again, January is going to have a Fifth Friday, so let's determine exactly what I'm doing for it, shall we? This vote will go until the First Friday drop. If you are in a tier with extra voting power, make sure to vote in both polls you can see so that I can tabulate your bonus properly.

Becoming Monsters: One Shot Stories 3

This is a short tale of the Becoming Monsters Universe by AiLove.

The idea for this was pure fun. My wife, who puts up with me every day and alpha reads everything you see, has three characters. One you’ve seen before, two who are new to the universe. All three star here.

Chapter 5: Training Day

It was Friday, and school had let out for the weekend. After the frantic scramble of the week before, THIS week was almost too quiet. Or, at least, it would have been if the girls were only doing school. Every day they got on the bus and huddled together to get as much of their homework done on the way as possible. At home they did the same, much to their parents’ apparent pride, then went for a walk in the woods.

There, the...

Becoming Monsters: Going Batty 4

This is a story of the Becoming Monsters Universe by AiLoves, used with permission.

The core idea for this series comes from Batthew, and it stars their OC Elise the Bat. This chapter also contains Leo, the OC of RetroLeopard, and will be focusing on him a bit more than before. You’ll see why.

Leo walked back to the Bespoke Batte some days later, after a particularly smug-sounding text from Elise told him that hi...

Chapter 15: Architecture

18 September 2020

Many chapters of Adam’s life had been started by being dropped off by a van in front of a building, recently. Even if this particular building was home, now, and technically had been a couple of weeks before. The sky was gray and heavily overcast, the building somewhat foreboding despite the cheery new si...

Chapter 4: Teamwork

It was dark in Lizzy’s room. That happens at midnight, though, especially when the girl in question wasn’t sleeping there. The sisters liked sleeping in the same room when they could, something they had done since they were barely old enough to decide they wanted to, and the room they did it in was Sarah’s. This meant that, for the first time in a while, Dag the Whale Shark Kwamii was free to float around. Lizzy was a reader, so he got t...

A new thing Patreon is letting me do!

I get that this page is a niche kind of thing, but this is cool. If any of you want to give the gift of a lot of reading material, now you can. Seriously, everyone, thank you all for making my page as successful as it is. Authors typically have a very hard time getting off the ground around these parts, and this has exceeded all expectations from when I started it two years ago.

“And you’re sure that’s exactly what happened?”

“Yes, officer. I have the exam paper turned in, so you can check with my professor on that point. Tim can vouch for the next part, and I have bruises for the rest until Professor Otterly and his wife intervened to save my life.”

Chapter 3: Dazzle

In the daytime? I’m Anna. Just a normal girl with a normal life…

It was Sunday afternoon, and the family was out grocery shopping for the week. At least, most of the family. Anna Fischer apologized and told the others she had homework, and so she had the house to herself for the next hour or so. The living room furniture was light enough to push around, thankfully, so it was now all against the walls as she pulled out s...

In the daytime? I’m Lizzy. Just a normal girl with a normal life.

The tiny girl raised her hand. “Ms. Jackson? The wolves in the example should not be called apex predators. There are both bears and mountain lions in the area which can hunt and kill wolves that are away from their pack.”

The teacher in question let out a long-suffering sigh. “You are correct, Lizzy, but for this lesson please stick to ...

Otter Chat: November Wrap Up

AI generation of my wife’s sona, Reina, in Tifa cosplay. Because she let me.

Hey everyone! I’m sure you’re curious about how things are going over here. With four days left in November, I’ve written ten chapters of ITM2. That’s about 42,000 words, not quite making my NaNo but enough to be able to say the following:

Starting in the month of December, you’re going to start getting two chapters a month of that story! I have enough written to last me through the N...

It happened

I woke up this morning to see the worst from my country. It seems that not only has Donald Trump taken the Presidency once again, but Republicans have likely also seized both the House and Senate. This is going to be bad.

To the world, I am sorry on behalf of my country. I don’t know how else to say it. Hatred won. Fear won. I pray this term is not going to go the way I think it will, but that is all I have left. Prayer.

I will continue to write for as long as I am legally allo...
