Love Match: Book 1 Errata
I'm going to be mean and make you wait another week for the continuation of Rocky and Marquize's cliffhanger. Hey, I'm a fox. Instead, as I've been preparing book 1 for publication, I found a few bits that I wanted to add that affected the story, so here they are. Add them to your collected knowledge of The Story So Far.
Next week: the continuing story. Promise.
2016-12-07 20:06:30 +0000 UTC View Post(NSFW) Love Match Part 105: Eighteen
Rocky turns eighteen, which makes him legally an adult, and he celebrates by doing some very adult things.

Rocky turns 18 next week, and wastes no time taking advantage of that. The post will be the first really NSFW segment of the story; prepare yourselves accordingly.

2016-11-10 04:46:06 +0000 UTC View PostLove Match Part 101: Hiring Coach
There are a few formalities to take care of before Rocky can start out on the Challenger tour. One is to hire a new coach.
2016-11-02 22:55:57 +0000 UTC View Post100th Part Celebration: Ask A Character
Okay, someone suggested this and I realized I haven't done one in a while, so let's do an "Ask a Character" thread here! Here's the rules:
1. You can only ask a character a question if they have a speaking role in "Love Match." SPECIFY which character you are asking. :)
2. You can't ask characters about things that haven't yet been revealed in the narrative. For instance, you could ask 2015-Rocky about his 2015 match, but not about something that happened to him in 2014.
3. C...

Jumping back into 2015 for a quick moment here. Thanks for bearing with me--traveling yesterday wiped me out.
And thanks to all you guys, especially those who have been around for all 100 parts. It's been a pleasure and a privilege sharing the story with you as it grows and develops. I appreciate your patience with both the story and with the various changes that have happened with the Patreon since we launched, and I promise you lots more of Rocky and Marquize and Ma and Braden in the future....

Ma is the one who finally gets word about Ori. And Ma is the one who decides to do something about it.
[Edited: "Lunda" is my name for Congo in the Forester world, and Lundara is Kinshasa. I'll be using that going forward.]
NOTE: Part 100 is due to be posted on the day I'm flying back from Europe so I may be in airplanes all day. If I can get it posted from an airport or something then I will, otherwise chill until Thursday. :) I think I have figured out what to do to celebrate par...

Rocky gets some hints as to his future and wants to share them with his sister, but...can't.
2016-10-05 19:31:16 +0000 UTC View PostThanks, you guys
Hey, I know I've occasionally mentioned how much this Patreon means to me, but I wanted to tell you all about a very tangible example. My grandmother, in her 90s, lives in Pittsburgh, so I don't see her often, and when I do it's often squeezed in on trips with other purposes (e.g. Anthrocon). She recently had a bad fall and had to go through physical therapy; she's better now and back in her assisted living facility, so I wanted to make a trip out. It's not cheap to fly across the country and re...

Rocky and Ma talk about the news they've gotten. And the conversation takes a turn...

... well, in ten more weeks I guess. Anyway, you guys have any ideas for special things I can do for the 100th part of this story in progress? Toss out your thoughts--I don't promise to do everything, but I do want to do something. :)

2016-07-06 19:25:01 +0000 UTC View PostLove Match Part 83: Two Worries
Marquize is not doing better, and Ma is also having problems. Can Rocky overcome his own inexperience as well as their problems?

Of course, nothing goes up forever. Sometimes you have to look for a different path.
