Self Insert Apocryphal Tale - Can't Buy Me Love

Wellp, here it is: two months worth of work. It's finally done. The Annapocryphal, 25k plus words, some of what I feel is my best work. I hope y'all enjoy it, because at this point MinuteRice and I never wanna see this story again. 

So, I've talked it over with my A+ Patrons on Discord, and we've come to an agreement. Given the current circumstances of the world, I wanted to post this story publicly, piecemeal, over the next month to give people a bit of a distraction during the qu...

Update/Preview 72

Quick look at the little Self Insert Support EX chapter I’m posting tomorrow. I’ll be doing one of these a month until Book 3 starts up, then it’ll (probably) be back to regular Supports twice a month. Or we keep these if y’all like em more? Either or. I’m easy.

So, context as to why I’m so late with this update: almost immediately after that last update last month where I said “I’m cool, I’m still working” my work closed and I’m out of a job. Lol and orz in equal ...

Update/Preview 71

Morning all! Back with another look at the Annapocryphal.

This story has become insane. The Anna Apocryphal Tale Can’t Buy Me Love is going to clock in at around about a very weighty 30k words. That’s a lot. That’s three standard Self Insert chapters. I genuinely don’t know if I’m gonna get it done before April. To lessen the editing load on MinuteRice I’ve actually sent him the completed first half already, which is another 6k words longer than the draft ...

Update/Preview 70

Morning/Evening all! Depending on your geographical location, anyway... have a brief glimpse of Anna in work mode from the upcoming Annapocryphal. We’re getting there!

I’ll do up some polls for SI!Dark in the next couple of days sometime. Still not quite sure where I wanna go next. All I know is that there’ll be at least two more desert chapters. Got a good joke planned for the next chapter already, though. Remember, April is Three Houses Modern AU sports festival story, so that�...

Update/Preview 69 XD

Wellp. We did it. I feel like I made it. We can all go home now, pack it in, I’ve peaked. We hit the magic number, ladies and gents. Update 69. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

To celebrate have a preview of the next Self Insert Dark chapter. It’s coming along nicely. I’m making this post now, because I’m still off work and I’ll end up totally forgetting without my regular schedule to remind me in the morning.

And welcome to the new Patrons! Make sure you check out the archives for al...

Update/Preview 68

Good day, friends. How we all doing? Hello to all my new patrons! Welcome to the madhouse. Here’s a quick look at a new scene from the Annapocryphal.

To recap writing plans: finished Annapocryphal this month, SI!Dark ch11 this month, new canon SI short this month, starting a new commissioned Modern AU Three Houses story after that. Hopefully I’ll have some fresh artwork to show off this month, too.

So we had a health and fitness convention at my work over the weekend. They l...

Self Insert Apocryphal Tale: Can't Buy Me Love PARTIAL DRAFT PREVIEW

Okie dokie, as promised here is a partial draft of the Anna Apocryphal Tale, or Annapocryphal, Can't Buy Me Love. Yes, I'm one of those schmucks that likes to use song lyrics as titles. Sue me. XD

So, while this is an incomplete draft at about 50% of what I have planned for the story, it is still actually 10k words long. 40 A4 pages. I know I said I wanted to get this done this month, but I'm having too much fun with this story and it's gotten a little out of hand. I'm hoping t...

Blazing Trinity Chapter 9

I apologize for the delay on this one. I'll hopefully have better luck on the next Blazing Trinity chapter. Remember, y'all get this for a month now before it goes live, so enjoy! 

I'll post the first half of the Annapocryphal sometime before the end of the week, but remember that that will just be a draft. 

Update/Preview 67

Have another look at the draft for Blazing Trinity ch9. It’s done and in editing, should be done and uploaded sometime this week.

Also, I’m absolutely not getting the Annapocryphal done this month, because I’ve already written 8k words and I’m barely halfway through my planned scenes. So, instead I’ll be posting the first half of the draft as a little treat sometime after BT. This half-draft will be the length of a normal major upload, and the completed story will be...

Update/Preview 66

I do truly apologise for this, but... Execute Order 66! XD (I’ve been waiting nearly a year to say that!)

*ahem* Good morning all! Have a quick look at the new Blazing Trinity chapter I’m still working on. I spent all weekend on this and SI!Dark. Dark ch10 is done and in editing, should be done today sometime (I’m gonna ride Rice’s ass until it is), and I’ll post it ASAP. Annapocryphal is still in the works. I’m two scenes in and already a third of my planned word c...

Couple of Updates...

Firstly, hello new Patrons! Welcome!

I sent the last of the patches for Patrons who verified their addresses for me on Thursday. As you can see in the picture above, I still got a bunch. For those of you who are new, I made some patches up for Patron Appreciation Day and have been sending them out to Patrons for free. I got a few people who didn’t respond to the message asking for addresses, and a few who kindly said “no thank you”, which is both cool. I’m not gonna force anyon...

Update/Preview 65

A quick look at SI!Dark ch10. Didn’t think I’d get to double digits with this story, honestly, but damn am I having fun with it.

So you may notice I didn’t post this update yesterday when I was supposed to. I had a doctor’s appointment after work that turned into tests and xrays and long story short they still don’t know what’s wrong with me, so more tests and xrays. Thank god for Australian public health care...

That last Headsert chapter kinda sucked. I’m hoping t...

Update/Preview 64

Have another look at the Annapocryphal. This is a brief glimpse of the wedding, hope it psychs y’all up for it.

I haven’t really got much to say that I didn’t already say in the vlog yesterday. Work has begun on SI!Dark and the Self Headsert chapters. Annapocryphal is probably a quarter done already. Blazing Trinity ch9 is sitting on the back burner for now, but I am pretty keen to get back to it. That’s really about it.

I took last night off work (I might just take toni...

Apologies once more for the shitty sound quality, but I'm not really of a mind to re-record this at this point in time

Patches are here!

Yes! The Patron Appreciation Day 2019 patches are here and ready to go! They are free to all patrons, no matter your pledge level or how long you’ve been supporting me for (I currently have just enough, anyone that joins after today is shit outta luck). I’ll send a DM to everyone real soon to confirm addresses, because I don’t have my account set to collect them when you pledge.

And yes, I’m already planning 2020’s Appreciation Day reward now. There will be less of a...

Update/Preview 63

So, I have had writers block wicked bad this month. Blazing Trinity, despite how excited I was to work on it, just isn’t happening the way I want it to. I’m not giving up on it, but I have accepted that I won’t get it done this month. The tipping point? It took me a week to write 2k words for it. It took me an hour and a half to write that much of the Anna Apocryphal Tale, of which this preview is from. I started working on that early, because writers block. I’ll keep pluggin...

Update/Preview 62

Sorry I’m a little late on this one. I was lazy last night and forgot to email my draft to myself to make the update picture, then I was lazy again about getting to the gym and didn’t get back til now. But! Have a preview of everyone’s armor-bound hunk of lord, Hector!

New Blazing Trinity is still a work in progress. I’m doing my best, but I had writer’s block bad at the start of the month, which to be fair did result in that FGO story, but really cut into my BT time. So I du...

Exclusive Short - FGO 'Well, I Didn't Vote for You!'

So, here's a bit of a surprise! Last year I actually put my foot down and said "no way in hell am I doing a FGO Self Insert! Nope! Will never happen!" 

Apparently, I'm a big fat liar. 

This story was actually written as a favor/commission for XcelltasticX, who is an absolute sport about all the artwork and asks very little in return. I couldn't very well turn down both him and the chance for Monty Python references, now could I?

Update/Preview 61

Good day, all! Hope you’re all well. This preview is a brief glimpse of a short piece I’ve been working on as a favour/gift for our loveable resident artist Xcell. It’s a FGO shirt piece about Mordred being summoned, and how they deal with the contentious relationship between her and Arturia. I’ll post it here once it’s done, but I don’t know if I wanna post it publicly. We’ll see. This won’t become a regular occurrence, either, so don’t get too excited.

Self Insert Supports - Erutreya & Tennabree A+ re-upload

EDIT: Artwork's done, and a few minor changes have been made to the chapter itself. For some reason Patreon i being buggy as hell and wouldn't let me notify any of you about the update, so I'm just re-uploading. It's also not letting me select which tiers to give this update to, so I'm just posting it for everyone. Enjoy!

ORIGINAL POST: 

Unfortunately artwork will have to come later for this one. Xcell is swamped for the holidays, so I'll add his artwork once he's finishe...
