Update/Preview 41

Well, now that Patreon’s actually working again I can make my weekly update! Sorry for the delay, folks; technical issues not actually my fault for a change. A big hello to all my new Patrons! Have a preview from the next chapter of Blazing Trinity.

So, where are we at? In a word, ‘behind’. I have had writer’s block like you wouldn’t believe with this chapter, and while I’m starting to make progress now I fear it may be too little, too late. But I’ll keep at it! Gotta beat...

Update/Preview 47

Another very short preview today, showcasing a little of the dynamic between SI!Ben and Grima as they travel. Think Spice and Wolf, but the ‘wolf’ is much more aware of how OP she is. This chapter will drop for B-Support patrons and up on Wednesday! Be excited!

The new A+ Support pledge tier is open! Get extra polls, more say in what I write, and more art by giving me more money! I’m doing an extra SI!Dark poll, voting for support pairings, and the right (as long...

Three Houses Experiment

Ha ha! SURPRISE! Have a short story. 

We were talking about Three Houses on the discord server, and it kinda got me thinking about writing my own piece, so I started working on this a little on my lunch break yesterday and... here we are. No, it's not a Self Insert piece. I write enough Self Insert stuff... Basically, this story is a humorous take on what happens when you put an anti-social mercenary in charge of teaching a class of officer cadets. 

I did this in a rush,...

Update/Preview 46

Small preview of the conclusion of the Lucina/Noire supports coming out later this month. Yes, he’s in the Gendo-pose. XD

Welcome to our new Patrons! Don’t forget to hit up the Discord channel! https://discord.gg/KdpD8ga

So what’s going on? Not a whole lot. I lost an entire week to Three Houses, which on a Blazing Trinity month is less than ideal. The Supports are done, though, and I’m sitting here working ...

Early Access Self Insert Redux Ch17

WARNING: NSFW SCENES IMMINENT 

Here it is! Finished before the end of the month (barely...)! This will be the final story arc of 'Book 2: the Redux', so I hope y'all enjoy. Chapter will go live on AO3 and fanfiction at the end of next month. Until then, enjoy early access! 

Update/Preview 45

Hello again! Gonna be a short update this week because Three Houses is out and i have no self control. Here’s a quick look at the start of SI!Dark ch4. It’s nice and peaceful, I’m happy with the way the imagery turned out.

I am in the process of editing SI ch17. It’ll be done by tonight, soon as I get off work. Swearsies. A-Support level patrons got the draft yesterday, and so far feedback is good.

Blazing Trinity next month! Yee! Also, something about a new higher patron...

Update/Preview 44

Okay, doing this bright and early today! So, have another glimpse of SIch17. It’s getting real damn hard to Preview this thing because every other joke is a freaking spoiler, but... here we go.

Work on the chapter itself is (finally) progressing smoothly. I hit a few snags, but I feel like I’m finally over the hump and it’s starting to take shape the way I want it to, now. Sometimes it takes a little effort to make it click, but when it does... boom.

SI!Support is dropping ...

Update/Preview 43

Welcome to all my new Patrons! A lot of new friends have joined up in the last few weeks, so do t forget to join us on the Discord server: https://discord.gg/nErmeAh

And here we are, a day late because I didn’t want to spam y’all yesterday. Three guesses how the next SI chapter starts? (Bow chika wow wow)

So, not really a lot going on. Head’s down as I work (fervently) on the next SI chapter, which I swear wi...

Update/Preview 42

Welcome to all my new Patrons! Make sure you check out the ebooks tab on the left side of the page for the rewards we’ve unlocked!

Ay! Finally going back to some Fates with this preview! It’s a snippet of a little Self Insert experiment that the Discord members requested (here’s an invite link, join up for fun times! https://discord.gg/KdpD8ga ) on a lark, and I’ve been kinda playing with it in my spare time. Ba...

Update/Preview 41

A wild update has appeared! Battle, item, switch or run!? Why the Pokémon reference? Because I resisted for nearly a year, now is the time! Also. Have a preview from our new Support series.

Blazing Trinity ch7 went live yesterday, make sure you check it out. And remember, there’s a whole month of grace time now. Supports for this month are done, and SI!Dark is back underway. I’m hoping to have a little free time at the end of the month to work on some other things, but the SI chap...

Early Access Blazing Trinity ch7

Here it is, safe before the end of the month! Yay! Sorry, these Blazing Trinity chapters are hard for me to get out fast... not as hard as Future's End, but... eh. Hope y'all enjoy it! Made a few minor changes to the story to facilitate the world building I've done and the characterization I've been working on; nothing major, just some little tweaks to fit my AU a little better. 

And remember! Y'all get this an entire month before the rest of the plebs, so enjoy it!

Update/Preview 40

Sorry about the lateness of this update; had a little drama on the Discord front yesterday that needed to be dealt with. In short, I’ve started a brand spankin’ new server! I think I’ve fixed the Patreon tiers to reflect this, but if you get sent to the ‘Self Insert Smackdown’ Server instead of ‘Metallover’s Menagerie of Misfits and Malcontents’ Server (try saying that ten times fast...), you’re in the wrong place. If that does happen, hit me up with a PM and I’ll fix it a...

Update/Preview 39

Heyo! Thanks for another week of support! Here’s a quick look at the start of Blazing Trinity ch7. I know, I know, the ‘bully Sain’ joke’s been done; but dammit if it still isn’t fun.

I hope everyone enjoyed the finale of Head Over Heels; I’ll start posting it on my profiles next month (let’s just ignore my little ‘Ben can’t count’ blunder, shall we?). Honestly, and those of you on the discord server can attest to this, I agonised over this chapter. That NSF...

ORIGINAL WORK EBOOKS!

Well, hot damn. We hit the second goal. Do you know what that means!? IT MEANS MORE EBOOKS! 

I am honestly touched that you are all willing to part with your hard earned currency to support my writing endeavours. Seriously. Like, I have not the words. Thank you all so much. 

Now, a little about the ebooks: 

Jumping at Shadows is a complete novella, in a sort of pseudo-light-novel inspired style. I really don't know what I was doing with it, but hey, it's a thi...

Update/Preview 38

Heyo! A little later than usual today; entirely my bad. I spent all night grinding the current event in Fate/GO, kinda forgot I had to do this. Heh. Whoops.

So! We have a preview of the finale of Head Over Heels, which is... honestly causing me problems. Hopefully I can power through and get it done by the 14th, but if not it goes on the back burner while I get my main goal of Blazing Trinity done. I don’t foresee that being the case, I think I’m over the slump, but fair warning. <...

Update/Preview 37

An actual preview this time! This is a quick snippet from the next Support between Anna and Cordelia, due on the seventh.

And a big hello to our new Patrons! Welcome! Have fun going back through a year’s worth of posts, because I never delete anything! Just think; only a few more people now and I have to post all my original works! There’s a scary thought...

So, I hope you all enjoyed ‘Self Insert Month’ through May. This month it’s back to business as usual, wi...

Okay, not a real preview, but it's the end of the month, everything's on time, and I'm out of shit to preview. So I'm cheating instead. Enjoy this picture of Libra with a Hulk Hogan moustache, courtesy of XcelltasticX. ... stupid sexy Libra...

Not a lot happening right now. Next update is gonna be Blazing Trinity while I try and get my head back around Future's End. The Cordelia and Anna antics will continue next month as well, in colour because the Discord members demanded it, and the ...

Early Access Self Insert Redux ch16

Here it is, ladies and gents! The next chapter of the Self Insert Adventure! And with the new tier reshuffle of rewards, EVERYONE GETS THIS CHAPTER EARLY NOW! Yay! 

Now, I hear some of you no-doubt asking, "who is this sexy woman and why is there a picture of her?" Wellp, allow me to introduce to you Tennabree, our newest OC! Way back in November/December of last year I had a little bit of an impromptu contest on my Discord channel, and the winner was allowed to work with me to cre...

Update/Preview 35

Hello again, friends! I hope you’re well. I’m happy to report the draft of the next Self Insert Redux chapter is done and in for editing! Hopefully won’t be too much longer before I’m ready to share it with you.

Today’s preview is of a new experiment I’m working on in my spare time, outside of the main cycle. Basically SI!Ben gets re-isekai’d into Fates. This is kinda happening at the behest of the readers on Discord asking me to ‘have SI!Ben ruin Fates’. I’m having...

Update/Preview 34

Now, for the moment you’ve all been waiting for! A preview of the next Self Insert Redux chapter! (APPLAUSE)

So. Part two of the Anna/Cordelia Support is primed and ready to go on the 21st. Part two (of three) of the Apocryphal, Head Over Heels, is primed and ready for the 14th. Which just leaves the regular SI update, and I’m already blazing through it.

I’m thinking of dropping Futures End from the update lineup for a little while. I’m not burned out or anything...

Update/Preview 33

A small preview this week of the beginning of the new Self Insert Supports story, told from Cordelia’s perspective. $5 Patrons can look forward to this one, with more of XcelltasticX’s amazeballs artwork.

Sorry for the lateness of this update; I like to get em out earlier, but I’ve been nursing the mother of all headaches all damn night.

There is so. Much. Self Insert going on this month. It’s been suggested that I write a little bit of a gag Fates Self Insert, s...

Update/Preview 32

Another week, another preview update thingy. Hope you all enjoyed the new Blazing Trinity chapter and vlog yesterday. This preview is a brief synopsis I’ve had floating around for a while; a short story based on the old Donkey Kong arcade game. It’s right at the top of the list of ‘shit to work on between Self Insert books’. So look forward to it around August. Ish.

So, I’ve made a couple changes to the pledge tiers, nothing spectacular but still I wanted to mention it. Early ...

Early Access Blazing Trinity Chapter 6

I honestly thought this would take a little longer to get done. Sorry to spam y'all, but I hope you enjoy the chapter anyway. 

A little bit of a shorter chapter this month. All original content as Lyn's Legion makes their way to Araphen; some world building, some character development, some laughs, some warm fuzzies. You know, the usual. 

Next stop: Self Insert City!

Update/Preview 31

Making this post early this week, because it appears that no matter how hard I try, update day is going to overlap with reward day...

Not really a lot going on, to be honest. My head is down and I’m focused on Blazing Trinity chapter 6, which is this week’s preview. it’s roughly 60% drafted, and hopefully I can get it done in the next few days. Planning for the next Self Insert chapter is done, so I’ll start in on that as soon as I’m done, and the next SI Support should drop a...

Update/Preview 30

Gasp! Number thirty! Three-zero! That’s a big number, and a lot of weeks. And here we are at another weekly update preview thingy! Here’s a quick snippet from the next chapter of Blazing Trinity, which is now well on its way to being the best training montage EVER!

So, if your wondering why this update is a day late, two reasons; one, I didn’t feel like spamming y’all twice on one day. And two because I am still feeling the low after an absolutely crazy caffeine high y...

Update/Preview 29

Hello! Another week, another preview. Here’s a look at a Self Insert piece I’m doing because reasons.

Hello to my newest patrons! Welcome! Thanks for your support!

The next chapter of Blazing Trinity is almost done the planning phase. Self Insert Support should be out sometime today. And there will be a longer Self Insert something at some point this month.

Definitely a short update today, but I’m kinda flat out with stuff right now, and I refuse ...
