Chapter 5

Author's Note: So I'll probably stop just straight up releasing chapters now, while I write a bunch more to prepare for the official release. I'll do more editing too, polish some things up, because I've already had to change a few things. For one, it took 5 chapters to cover this, and I thought I'd have it done in 2.  Another issue is that I'm terrible at planning crimes or having characters solve them, and my idea was dumb. I still went with it mostly, because i figured why not. Show t...

Chapter 4

Author's Note: In true Ruff fashion, it's taken me more chapters to get to where I was going than I thought it would take. Things have been ... hopefully tense, and I'm hoping the next chapter is a little more exciting. If it ends where I think it does, that'll probably be the last one I post up willy nilly, so I can start building up more chapters for a real release. That's all for now, so enjoy!

Edit: Also, I updated the prev posts with some changes i've made. Bit of spit and polish,...

Chapter 3

Gonna take the rest of today and maybe tomorrow to touch up the chapters I got. Do a bit more of foreshadowing in all three. Theres more stuff I want to hint at besides whats revealed here, like Howie's hat, plus leave a better trail so what he does here doesn't feel like as much of an asspull. Anywho, I'd love to know your thoughts please, here or on discord, or comments on the gdrive too. Thanks and enjoy!

Unnamed: Chapter 2

This one is a lot rougher than chapter 1. Gonna look over it again tomorrow, but figured I could share anyways.

ATM, the tentative title for the work is Firstborn of the Frontier. Alternatively, I might go with Firstborn: Frontier Legacy. I still like Cowboys and Cultists, but I wasn't planning too many cultists shenanigans. Anywhoo, enjoy and lemme know your thoughts on the ch and the title.

So I'm back, kinda.

First things first. Hi all. Thanks for still being here even though I've been inactive.

Meant to come back sooner, but things took longer than expected. 2023 has not been kind. I don't wanna get into it. The important thing is that I'm already working on my next story, and I've got my first chapter here for you today.

A few issues though. One, it's a first draft of a first chapter I'm not entirely set on keeping. Mostly because the voice I went with for the MC. I love it, but it's...

October Payments Paused, state of Epubs

I've been busy with my dog's health stuff, but I should have time to organize and create the epubs tomorrow and friday. Takes some time since I gotta copy the chapter from RR (for most up to date corrections), paste in the chapter, the volume, and the full version. It's not difficult, just boring, and I get distracted easily and often. I'll name them after I read them again, but I should have the epubs made by the weekend, but the pause payment thing is so you can access it for another full m...

The Final Chapter For realsies no joke.

Author’s Note: I’ve written and rewritten the first part so many times, yet it still kinda feels liek a giant mess, so maybe subject to change.

I gots nothing for anyone

Been grinding away at ch 838 for awhile now, and trying to avoid having to release a V2 like i did for the last two chapters. It's... going.. but not all that well. Hopefully, I'll have it for tomorrow or saturaday, and then another before tuesday, but who knows. Sorry for the delay, but it is what it is.

Chapter 837 V2

Author’s note: this first section is gonna go at the top, before the other PoVs. I left those out for now because I haven’t touched them yet, and would like to hear some thoughts on the changes I have made. My insecurities are showing, so embarrassing…

Chapter 836 V2.0

Author's Note: if your read the first version, you can pretty much skip to the ~~~ part, but I left the first half in so you can find out where it fits. I'll post 837 in a few hours or so when I'm done with it, but that means 3rd grade who are +1 chapter ahead will be +2, and won't get a chapter on tuesday. I'm doing this because the part i removed from 836 V1 is just gonna be the first half of 837 anyways, so you've already read it and might as well get the rest.

Author's Note: Hate where I left this one off, but I kept going and going, and would've had to keep going before I found a better end point. I might just continue this one as a super long chapter, but we'll see come tomorrow.
