Preview/Update 10/5/21

Good evening all! Yes, we’re hitting that point of me being off work where I start forgetting what day it is and I forget to post these updates. Have a Self Insert preview!

The plan now is for me to really buckle down and get the Dark draft done over the next few days while Rice polishes off the Canon draft. Then, I finish the Blazing Trinity chapter, and focus on Elfsekai. Which I believe is already nearly a third done. Stuff is happening! Also, there’s some other stuff in there, t...

(belated) April vlog

Better late than never, yeah? Ugh. Sorry...

Preview/Update 3/5

Mornin’ all! Have a look at a lovely reunion scene in the next self insert chapter.

So. With all the cluster-fuck that was my April I totally forgot to post polls for this month’s Dark chapter. Give me a few hours, I’ll pull something out of my butt. Self insert Canon is progressing fast. I’m actually hoping to have it drafted and off to Rice in the next couple days. Again, I’m sorry about past month, but the world decided to take a giant dump on me. We’ll get caught up, th...

Preview/Update 25/4/21

I couldn’t decide what to preview, so I’m just posting previews of everything I’ve been working on lately. The first is obviously Self Insert Dark. The second is the start of the prologue to the Warcry campaign that my mate and I have been playing (because we’re having so much fun I couldn’t help myself, I had to write it...). The third is good old Matter of Pride, because no, I have not forgotten it. As long as they all uploaded in the right order, anyway.

So, Self ...

Update/Preview 19-04-21

Hello, all! Have a look at our lovely Dark odd couple!

So. News from the doctor regarding my hand, for those that aren’t on Discord and subject to my constant complaining: I broke my finger. Yup. I’ve also bruised the majority of the rest of the fingers on that hand, too, but fortunately only one is broken.

However! I’m still committed to getting Dark done this month. I’ll do my best with regular Self Insert, too, but it may run over into May. May might just end up being...

Update/Preview 12/04/21

Morning, all! Take a gander at the next chapter of Dark.

So, I’ve got the chapter of Blazing Trinity back from Rice, but progress has been slow on Dark, so I made the call to focus on Dark instead. It’s... gonna be another close thing. I didn’t realise it was so late in the month already. But! We’ve got the chapter all worked out, so all I gotta do is write it. Regular Self Insert after that. Which, gonna be honest, not looking forward to. This next self insert chapter is both ...

Update/Preview 4/4/21

Okay, one last look at Blazing Trinity before Minute Rice and I get it squared away.

How we all doing today? Happy Easter!

I hope everyone enjoyed my April Fool’s joke, too. If you just scrolled right past it, actually go back and check it out. I wrote a whole short story.

Now, as I said in my vlog Blazing Trinity is done and with Rice for editing. It’s turning into a lot more work than either of us expected, though...

I’m dedicated to getting a double-featur...

Self Insert Apocryphal Tale - Not What I Expected

Surprise! Hope y'all enjoy! 

Preview/Update 28/3/21

Morning, all! Ha ha! It’s finally here! The great showdown! Lundgren vs Lyn! Soon!

Ahem. So, the Blazing Trinity draft is very nearly done. I just need to get one more scene squared away and then Rice gets another rush order. I also just realised that I totally forgot to post the polls for Dark next month. I’ll do that as soon as I get off work. Everything else is just kinda... yeah.

I will admit, I’ve developed quite the mental block about Blazing Trinity. I don’t know wh...

Blazing Trinity Interest Survey

Okay, so y'all know I hate making posts without updates, but this one's kinda important. I'm looking at re-working the Patreon tier rewards (seriously, this time; I haven't updated my landing page since I started this thing), so I feel the need to ask how does everyone feel about Blazing Trinity? 

I haven't decided anything yet, but this is an important step to that re-working. The responses from this little impromptu survey will go a long way to me giving y'all wh...

Update/Preview 21/03/21

Morning, all! Take a gander at Blazing Trinity. I hope I didn’t share this scene before... I feel like I did... oh well.

Progress has slowed right down, unfortunately. I just had the week from hell at work, so I’ve been pretty much coming home and passing out. I will be pushing to get this chapter done by the end of the month, but I’m not entirely sure I’ll make it. We’ll get there eventually, though. I’m almost done Lyn’s story! I’m in the process of trying to figure o...

Preview/Update 14/03/21

Morning all. Have one last look at Dark ch23 before I post it later tonight.

I know it’s late, but this Dark chapter was brutal on me. I have a lot of trouble with Henry’s character for some reason. Still, I’m happy it’s only one day late, given how much trouble this draft gave me. I would have made today’s preview Blazing Trinity, but I’m currently revising what I wrote last year for this chapter, and I’m actually quite embarrassed at how bad this draft is so fa...

Preview/Update 8/2/21

Howdy, all! Have a Dark preview.

I totally forgot to do the update yesterday. I got off work, ate dinner and sat down to watch a little bit of stuff on YouTube. Four hours later I had accomplished nothing. I’m also calling February’s vlog a wash. I tried to sit down and record something on the weekend, and just got bitch-slapped by a migraine. And I’ve felt like shit ever since. I think it was the lights blasting in my eyes. I mean, I could throw something together... may...

Preview/Update 28-02-2021

Morning all! So, as I’m sure you all noticed, I posted the new Self Insert chapter. This has left me in a lovely spot of having nothing to preview. So, thinking to capitalise on the Pokémon hype, I figured I’d dredge up a look at the old, cancelled sequel to my story ‘Daily Lives of Retired Pokémon Masters’. It’s in the continuity of the Pokémon story I’ve wanted to write for aaaaaaaages now, so maybe it won’t stay cancelled forever?

Anyway! Yes, Self...

Self insert Book 3 ch5

Here it is, on time! Kinda. Had some re-working to do, things got moved around, it all took far longer than it needed to. But it's done! 

Update/Preview 22-2-21

Good day, all! (Because I don’t even know what time it is here, let alone anywhere else in the world...) How we all doing? Have a look at the next self insert chapter, as promised! Actually, wait... I think this scene got moved to the next chapter... oh well!

Self Insert draft is also done, too, and with Rice. I had to make some revisions, so the higher tier patrons will get two drafts this month. Now, on to seeing how fast I can get Blazing Trinity done...

I actually don’t h...

Special Valentine's Art

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! 

As a special gift, from me to all of you, I wanted to share this lovely commission that MercyArt has done for me of our favorite god-turned-adventurer, Raven from Self Insert Dark. The full versions of the picture are attached below, but be forewarned they are somewhat NSFW. Not particularly explicit, but NSFW. 

Now, I had to drag my sorry ass out of bed to post this, so I'm crawling back in. 

Thanks again for your support, an...

Preview/Update 14 Feb 2021

Morning all! I remembered this week! Yay!

Today’s preview is of the SI!Dark chapter I’m gonna post later today. I feel kinda crappy using this as an update on the day I post the chapter, but I’m up to a point in the Canon SI chapter I want to keep as a surprise, so I can’t really post any previews of it just yet. It’s actually almost done, now, too. Another week-ish, I hope, and then on to Blazing Trinity again.

I haven’t really done anything in the past week...

Preview/Update 9th Feb 2021

Howdy all! Sorry for the lateness of this update. I didn’t forget, I’ve just been a little under the weather for the last week or so, and it’s starting to catch up with me.

So, this preview is of something totally different. I was playing with the idea of a Tharja Apocryphal Tale a while back, and I wrote about a thousand words of it the other day, just to try it on for size. The idea is it’s set nearly twenty years after Awakening, so a lot has gone down. Like Tharja a...

January's Chapter Drafts

Okay, so as I said, I'm not happy with these drafts. That's what I use MinuteRice for, to make sense of my inane ramblings and turn them into actual chapters, but he's been busy. So, once he gets his editing done, I'll post the updated chapters as well, but in the mean time, here's my raw drafts as promised. 

Preview/Update 1 February 2021

Happy February, all! We survived the first month of 2021! Yay! Only eleven more to go! Have a gander at the next self insert chapter as a reward!

And hello to my new Patrons! Welcome! I hope you enjoy my content!

... I should really make a ‘start here’ pack or something.

So, I didn’t forget the update yesterday. I just always feel like it’s overkill, uploading a vlog and then dropping a preview/update/blog or whatever the fuck this is the very next day.

Minute...

Preview/Update 25 January 2021

Mornin’ all! Have a look at the next SI!Dark chapter! Because I suck at taking breaks!

I’m also genuinely surprised that not a single one of you dropped your pledges for my ‘month off’. Like, legit, no one dropped off and that astounds and humbles me. Thank you all so much.

So, I got a couple things done this month that are all currently with Rice for editing. I’m not happy with any of them lol. They’re the first chapters of both my novel and my light novel. I’ve a...

Extra Content! Podcast Episode Thingy

So, a while back I was involved in a collaborative podcast project with my lovely(!?) editor MinuteRice and our mutual friend, and host of the BitCast podcast, PT. We never actually figured out what to do with it so it never went public, but after asking permission (because that's important in a collaborative project) I decided I'd upload it here as a free preview for y'all, during my 'month off'. Because content! Also, to let y'all know I haven't forgotten about you. 

Basically, t...

Update/Preview 17 Jan 2021

Hello, all! So, this is an excerpt from the fantasy novel I’m working on. Not the isekai light novel. Basically, the characters stole cursed gold and are all starting to realise. And panic. And no, I couldn’t not call my protagonist ‘Morgan’. Nintendo plz dnt sue.

I had a lovely conversation with myself yesterday that basically went like this:

"I'm taking a break to work on original content in January!"

*Proceeds to write 1k words of the next self insert chapter in ...

Update/Preview 10th Jan 2021

Hello again, all! Have a look at a bad joke I’m very proud of from the interrogation scene of my dumb isekai story. Low hanging fruit, I know, but I couldn’t help myself.

So, progress is still slow. I always have trouble with these early points of stories, though. I’m beginning to get some traction with the isekai story, though, and I’ve been working on my novel again, too. I may preview that next week, there’s another joke I put in there I’m proud of, too. It’s nice to r...

Update/Preview Jan 4th 2021

Good day, all! Have another look at Blazing Trinity in this, the first update of 2021!

I kinda wish I had more to report, but I... just don’t. I’ve been working on my silly little Isekai story, but it’s rough and I don’t feel like it’s worth previewing yet. That’s the problem with starting a new project; it takes a little while to get your feet under you, figure out characters, that kind of thing. Next week, for sure, though!

Not really much else going on. I’ve been...

December Vlog

December's Vlog! I remembered this month!

Preview/Update 109

Good morning all, and welcome to the final update of 2020!

I... actually haven’t been writing for the last week. I got the SI chapter done and just hit ‘fuck it’. So, instead, I have for y’all a look at the very, very rough early treatment for this stupid light novel idea that the Discord members peer pressured me into (they didn’t, actually, it just makes me feel less stupid about adding another project to the list if I pass the blame lol). It’s ...
