The survey on RR for chapter 170 is now positive by a slight margin. Accordingly, I have placed a description of Einz, Traveler's Ring, onto the end of today's chapter.
I will also post this to the Patreon People in the overall content, of course.
2021-02-20 17:01:17 +0000 UTC View PostMy apologies for the long gap.
Update on things: Things are moving along towards the first ebook of the original stories. Much of my formerly free time over the last month has been about going back through, approving edits, and adding new material to fill out the first book properly.
The primary character of the first book is Aelryinth, with Sama and Briggs among the secondary characters that are part of the story showing things that are happening away from the main character.
... 2021-02-20 01:02:54 +0000 UTC View PostSummoning Duck wants a Chapter of swordporn, where I go into gushing descriptions and stat love to the Named Weapons and stuff of the characters.
I'm like, sure, I can do this, but it'll push everyone's chapters back a day if I do.
So, on the Royal Road chapter for Thursday 1/14/21, there's a survey for everyone to vote in.
And if you want something other than Story or Swordporn, make note in comments!
Oh, and if you haven't used this opportunity to give me a 5 rating ...
2021-01-14 02:36:15 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! Fluffy here!
So we've announced a few changes to the Patreon, but I'd like to go into a little detail.
First, we've added a new tier! For $50, you can gain access to 35 chapters ahead of RR, in addition to all the extra goodies Red periodically adds.
Second, we've added an annual membership option. If you select this option, you'll get TWO MONTHS FREE! However, be careful when selecting this option. Patreon will cha...
2021-01-02 00:40:50 +0000 UTC View PostStill working slowly on editing the original stories. Someone has to make a living...
Also, we're going to be rolling out some new stuff and tiers and propositions by the Dread Fluffy Goblyn on the 1st of the year, so stay tuned for that! She wants one more tier, and I could not say no. :)
2020-12-17 03:38:37 +0000 UTC View PostI notified people on Royal Road of this, apologies to my Patreon people for not putting it in the chapters. It was not meant to be ongoing, just the collection of stories covering the original appearances of Sama in the Power of Ten.
2020-11-25 20:18:30 +0000 UTC View PostAnd I realized he was right, I threw that in there, and never finished it off in the story.
Well, now I have, and it's going to be at the end of Chapter 104 tomorrow on Royal Road, so if you've already read it, you may want to read it there instead. I'll amend the mastery copy here, but just letting you know!
2020-11-20 01:36:29 +0000 UTC View PostGods of the Power of Ten.
A few people requested it, so I'm including it as an addendum to tomorrow's public chapter. Putting the stand alone file into Patreon.
2020-11-16 00:27:34 +0000 UTC View PostI have all four of the first Sama stories from the original Power of Ten books posted, and they will be coming out for the next couple of weeks (24 chapters in all). Wow, posting ten chapters every 5 days takes a while, but two chapter November will continue.
Big milestone getting into the top 100 on Royal Road. Thanks to everyone who posted a rating or review to help me get there!
2020-11-09 03:12:12 +0000 UTC View PostOur wonderful author is finally on Facebook!! Please check it out and give us a follow as we try to spread the word that is Power of Ten! We'll also be posting the latest updates, and we have a Power of Ten Fan group!! Check them out and post your opinion of the Power of Ten novels!

It's been a long, rough year for all of us, and all of your support has meant the world to both RED and I. So, PoT's incredible author and I discussed ways to give back a little.
National Novel Writing Month gave us the perfect excuse! ;)
As a thank you and to celebrate this month, we will be releasing TWO chapters per day (for this month only)! On top of that, we will be moving Tip of the Spear chapters into the Patreon folders for easy access!
2020-11-06 01:05:59 +0000 UTC View PostYou can either click on my name or do a name search for Power of Ten. The first five Original Chapters are up, and will update at noon as normal until I get all of them out.
Keep in mind these are small parts of a larger story. While they focus on Sama, she is not the main character in the metastory.
If and when the original stories ever get edited properly, these will be part of them.
2020-11-04 00:58:37 +0000 UTC View PostI'm putting the original origin story for Sama Rantha up for the RR November Writathon. It comes out to about 36k words, but I glossed over a lot of the middle of it, so there's plenty to add into the middle to get it up to 55k.
2020-11-03 01:01:07 +0000 UTC View PostMoving into Arc 7, which is a multi-chapter rambling about in the Firezone. We'll see how long it lasts.
2020-10-31 19:50:32 +0000 UTC View PostPower of Ten actually got started back in 2004. I had the idea for a story come to me, and spent a feverish two or three days writing what ended up becoming the First Day and the First Week, the first parts of the story to Power of Ten.
Dribs and drabs of Power of Ten are on those boards. My Melee/Fighter build is posted there for review, among other things, and I've made convenient lists of stuff for people to use.
Haven't posted on there in years. :)
2020-10-14 20:27:52 +0000 UTC View PostI have permission to thank the following publicly for their support: Akhier Dragonheart, Cadastral, Nickomania, FreiFire, Togakure, Stahel, and Pixali!
If you would like to be added to this list, please let me know here! I know there's a bunch of you out there!
2020-09-23 01:02:56 +0000 UTC View PostI get comments and PM's all the time, whose replies involve world-building that I feel should be added to the story so people read them, so I've been tacking them on to the end of the stories as extras, just so you all know.
Of course, I add fore and afterthoughts, and comments of my own, so I hope you are reading the public chapters and the comments that come off them, too! :)

I thought I posted the Cover Pic for The Human Race to everyone's folders... but obviously not. Just finished copying it into everyone's folders.
It's obviously a pic of her later in her career. Assuming she's full round-casting, that's still 7+4 Shards, which is a Caster Level of 13 minimum. The full ten-color cycle of ROYGBIV Black-Grey-White is there, and the second cycle starting with Opalescent is in the middle.
The skulls at her waist are Baneskulls, and shrink down when not...
2020-09-08 16:18:28 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!! Fluffy here! Due to some personal rescheduling, I'm going to have to update the folders a little early starting on Sept 1st. Rather than updating the folders before 8 am EST (or around 6 AM as I have been lately), the new chapters will be ready for you the prior evening by 8 PM EST.
And don't worry! This won't affect the number of chapters you get access to each day at all, and the one additional chapter will still be in the folders to ensure that you're always as a...
2020-08-30 09:40:52 +0000 UTC View PostThis naturally means my Patrons will also get a ten chapter boost, have no fear!
I'm putting the setting document and the preludes as = 1 chapter, so RR will get those + 9 chapters of story, just like you did.
I'm working on Ch. 91 today, so I'm definitely far enough ahead to do this!
2020-08-26 17:51:04 +0000 UTC View PostJames, Neric, ThatGuy, Bobby, A Lee, and Adrij, thanks for your support as the Power of Ten moves towards the conclusion of Book Two!

2020-08-12 17:35:13 +0000 UTC View PostWith the obligatory wrap-up chapter, Far Future is complete at chapter 357. The Human Race begins thereafter, and I've already got the first fifty chapters done, so don't worry about there being downtime!
2020-07-31 22:42:41 +0000 UTC View PostWith a one chapter wrap-up.
As the survey says, Another Arc is going to begin. I'm seesawing between starting a completely new book (smoother intro, maybe?), and continuing with this one.
Note that Power of Ten is the overarching theme. Sama will be in the next book, but she won't be the only protagonist. Since she isn't, that's an incentive for a new book.
Sama and Spider-man is a short fanfic I wrote up that I could have expanded into an adventure, and then realized how exhausting it is writing Mr. Parker's dialogue, and it never went any further.
2020-07-03 02:28:49 +0000 UTC View PostJoshua O, Jacob F, Angus M, Olamic, Tab, K A P, Mikes B, and Neal Oh, plus Critical Hit and AR1357 boosting their pledge! It means a lot to Fluffy and me to get the support of our readers, and really does give me the time to put out more stories!
2020-07-02 23:32:19 +0000 UTC View PostAnd starting the countdown. Working on the start of the Urban Fantasy version has been harder than I expected, as I'm bringing together inside and outside storylines here. I've written and had to throw out about 100 pages from restarts (so ~25 chapters).
Still, I think I have the proper tone for the start, just need to persist with it in the right direction.
In addition, still doing side stories and editing work on the original novel, and trying to bring things together to get it ...
2020-06-29 23:59:35 +0000 UTC View PostMy Patreons want to see an Urban Fantasy novel (21) over a Cultivation novel (13), with open magic preferred. Superhero homebrew came in last, with one other.
Urban Fantasy and Cultivation crossover tied in Public (26 each)! And a lot more wanted superhero (16). Other recommendations were also at 5, mostly wanting hints of original Earth.
Urban Fantasy looks like it is getting the nod, with open magic. Note that this doesn't necessarily mean a magical society... it means a place w...

I'm trying to determine how to meet all these things and balance the work we're trying to do on the original PoT novels at the same time. Alas, must continue working to make money...
2020-06-12 17:30:21 +0000 UTC View PostRight now Urban Fantasy (magic open) and Cultivation cross-over seem to have the lead!
2020-06-03 01:23:40 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! Red and I have been putting our heads together to think of ways we can give back for all of the support you guys have thrown our way. We've come up with an idea and want to know what you think!
So, we're thinking of slipping cameo characters in the novel of you guys, our patrons! When and where those cameos will appear is up to the all powerful author, but what do you think? Wanna show up in the novel? Leave a comment, and let us know what your thoughts!
