Readers, I have bad news and good news.
The bad news is that, unfortunately, one of my two betas has yet to give be back his version of the corrected WO 11-2, meaning the odds of me being able to update 11-2 on all the websites before the end of April are getting slimmer with every hour. If I receive it by next morning, I will do my best, but I am not a Living Saint. I will work on it as soon as it arrives, but I would lie to say I will be able to publish it before May 1 or 2.

Here is the beta-ed chapter 93 of The odds were never in my favour, Dance or Despair.
It will be published this week.
The next story to receive my writing effort will be An Impractical Guide to Godhood.
I have not worked upon the plot, so it should take some ( a lot) of hours of reflexion, but I hope to begin it on Sunday or Monday, and have it updated here before the month of April is over. Dionysus knows we're in need of laughs and happy madness those days...

Here is the unbetaed version of Chapter 94 of The odds were enver in my favour, Winter Ball.
It was...not easy to write this chapter, but I hope the final result is worth it for everyone of you.
I have received back the beta-ed chapter 93 from the beta, so I think you can expect the final updated version of it on ff.net by Sunday at the latest.
Have a good read!

As promised, the chapter 46 of the Dance is not Over, Buffoons of Peace, is now available for perusal.
This one was a bit difficult to write, because I wanted some humour, and...well, the news today, especially in Ukraine, aren't the one you want to hear unless you're a psychopath.
Still, Mariupol stands...
I think I will begin writing the next chapter of The odds were never in my favour next, though it will only begin on Tuesday, as tomorrow is the day of elections in my co...

As promised, the situation in the system after the end of 11-2.
I can safely promise...there will be a few changes when 11-3 will be posted around, though it is not for today (nor for this month, honestly).
Writing on the next Dance is not Over is progressing.
I should have finished it before the end of the week...I'm definitely trying to put a lot of fun in this one, since Death Korps, after all, was more about war butchery than laughing.
Bests,

One of my readers (I honestly forgot who) told me such an epic battle as the Cataclysm of [REDACTED] deserved a map.
He was of course right.
Naturally, my map-creating skills are...inferior to my writing skills, so the 'map' is simplicist and is not representing everything, far from it, but it should give you at least an idea of the ongoing bloodbath.
For those wanting the map after 11-2, I am going to work upon that today.
Next will be a chapter of the Dance is not Ov...

I have nearly finished the writing of the chapter of the story-which-shall-not-be-named-here (also known as WO 11-2).
It stands currently as...126 pages and 47,638 words, for your curiosity.
Of course, since I've written a lot these last days, I need to check and self-correct myself to ensure I have not written any absurdities in my countless and totally-not-Warp-induced author deliriums.
This means, in simple terms, 11-2 should be ready for the unebtaed version to be sent t...

I am honestly tempted, dear readers, after the news of this morning which sees a Russian landing ship joyously burning, to write an Evil Overlord's List.
Seriously, between 'secure your supply lines', 'beware the tractors', and 'this harbour belonged to the enemy, don't assume they don't know where to look for', the recent invasion is really, really rich of those nasty lessons reality loves to remind you so much.
Mhh...oh yeah, this will have to wait the end of the writing for the...

I have started to prepare for the writing of 11-2 of the story which-shall-not-be-named. The bad news, from a certain perspective, is that I've been granted recently plenty of info what happens when one is trying to destroy utterly a civilian city...and unfortunately it's not Chaos which must be blamed this time...
Anyway, the preparations are going to be a bit long, courtesy of the battle-scenes being complex and several important events taking place in this chapter, and I want to get ...

Well, it took more time than I expected (for which I blame Real Life and his Putrid Majesty Nicholas III of Russia) but the chapter has been written.
Here is chapter 93 of The odds were never in my favour, Dance or Despair.
Enjoy!
(for those wondering about the planning, I haven't yet decided what comes after. You will have to wait for a few days, there will be an announcement post).

Here is the new chapter of an Impractical Guide to Goodhood, Imminent Problems.
I intended at first to call it Imminent War, but...stuff happened, as I'm sure you are aware.
Anyway, I hope it will bring some happy faces in a time where reality does it best to support a certain universe 'there is only war' motto.
And now that it is said, tighten your belt, for Olympus is in for some rough times. If Zeus thought there was going to be a holiday period after he recovered his Mas...

I said I was very budy beta-ing some stories, so here is my chance to prove it, I guess.
Here is the (long) chapter of the Second Task, properly beta-ed this time...or at least I hope so, given how many hours I spent working upon it (with love, hey, it was Valentine's day yesterday).
Hope everyone enjoy it!

Heretics! If you thought there would be no retribution for your multiple crimes against the Ancient Laws of Olympus...you were wrong. Deadly wrong.
Heresy must be punished.
And now you will see what happened to the evil minions of the so-called Suicide Squad...please ignore the party they're organising. No, it's a punishment...we think.
No matter. Here is Interlude (or chapter 11) of an Impractical Guide to Godhood, Fallen Order.

This will be the unbetaed chapter 92, Wounded Pride.

Here is the chapter 45 of the Dance is not Over, titled The Last Red Banner.
With it, the War of Lions (or the Reyne Rebellion if you are a more dedicated Green loyalist) is coming to an end.
Now we're arriving at the 'fun' part...trying to divide the spoils and settle the differences between the victors, so that the 'peace' lasts.
It's going to be interesting, and I mean it very much in the Chinese sense...

Loyal citizens eternally faithful to Him on the eternal homeworld!
This is a message of the Adeptus Propagandatitus, interrupting your sub-standard vid-cast!
Stay assured, everything is perfectly fine!
Your planet is not under attack!
The famous neighbouring region which name begins by a 'U' and who has a Chapter homeworld begins by a 'M' is not under attack!
All rumours which will spread information challenging this rule are HERESY and will be treated as such!

This should be the final version of Chapter 90 of The odds were never in my favour, Crocodile Time. It will be published soon on fanfiction.net.
And before you ask, yes, writing on a certain story which is happening in a dystopian future continues. It has gone past 35K today, and we're approaching the end. Yes, I know, shocking, this chapter may not reach 50K...how long it has been since the last time, I wonder?

A quick post to confirm to all of you, dear readers, that I began the writing of a story which may or may not be named yesterday (yes, that 11-1, Dupond and Dupont).
I have the plan, I have the monster and the big bad, so it should be fairly easy to write a short update...what do you mean, you haven't the faith I can do it in fewer than 60,000 words?
Heretic! I am surrounded by heretics, I swear. Where is the Inquisition when you need them?
Ah, and yes, you will get a teaser...

Here is the unbetaed chapter 91 of the Odds were never in my favour.
The title is Second Task.
Obviously, since it is a Task-chapter, it is a big chapter (21 000 words to be accurate).
I'm going to take a few days of break, and then the preparations for a story which shouldn't be named will begin.
It is 11-1 time, and the flames of Exctinction are coming ever closer.
Hopefully, if the muses cooperate, I will begin writing this epic chapter before the 16th. The pl...

I wish you all a Happy New Year, and I hope the 365-366 days to come will be better than the year which has just departed.
Hope you will have Good Health; that's the most important thing; we take it for granted too often, and don't realise how good it is to have it until it's gone.
Happy New Year and Merry Writing (to me and all other authors/readers)!

It took a bit longer than I wished, but here is the chapter 10 of an Impractical Guide to Godhood, just in time for the end of 2021.
I am going to begin soon the writing of the next chapter of The odds were never in my favour; I have the foundations of the Second Task, so hopefully it shouldn't take so long. And before the end of January (or sooner) we will return to the story-which-shouldn't be mentioned...

Okay, here are some news from the author which is totally not a machine or any form of eldritch abomination.
Between answering to the small mountain of comments/reviews every reader made on several threads, I'm sorry to reveal the replying time has devoured most of the writing time of the last days. As such the completion of the weekly schedule has not so much drastically decreased than it is outright crawling down to a halt. Hopefully, both this and the Real Life limitations of the per...

Due to the cold, Real Life, and many other things, I haven't been able to write as much as I wanted this week. As such next week I will try to write An Impractical Guide to Godhood's next chapter. I don't know if the update will be before Christmas (which I'm not spending near a computer, exceptionally, so yeah...) but I will do my best. Next week of December will likely be the writing of chapter 91...

Hello dear readers in a galaxy which bears no relationships to the current order,

Here is the Chapter 44 of the Dance is not Over, which took me most of the week to get right. I blame the cold, the wind, and House Reyne (not necesserarily in that order, mind you).
I will post the update in a few days elsewhere.
For the week coming, I have decided to spend it writing another chapter of The odds were never in my favour. This will be chapter 90, the last scenes before the Second Task.
