The Power of Ten

Thank you to Giles, a new Patron!

Yay, one more cup of much-needed coffee! Thanks for your support, Giles!

One of the better Super Bowls in recent memory, hope everyone who watched it enjoyed it... and the commercials, of course!

I am now over fifty chapters ahead of the main storyline...

Which is funny, because the active story is just about to touch on something I'm partially resolving here.

I think I'll put a voting challenge in for extra chapters next week, if I can pull farther ahead. I like having the extra room...

It has now been an entire year.

I started posting the chapters from my Nanowrimo 50k word novel to Webnovel a year ago after much thought. I could have posted it on several other sites, but since I was editing on webnovel, I figured why not.

I have over a thousand regular readers now, and get between 500 and 600 stone-votes a week, which puts me into the low 200's of combined translated and original novels. I have arced Sama Rantha from a fantasy world into a techno-grimverse, and I'm sure at some point when this fini...

Just a warning, there's a storm coming here...

And power and stuff might get knocked out. So if the chapters don't advance, that's why!

Tomorrow's story will be putting up some history

For the Galaxy and Janus III, finally. When exactly did the Empire start and the Emperor fall, Janus III get discovered, and all that? A nice little timeline of the killing in it.

Getting into a nice long fighting arc in the writing...

Brought back some of my old days playing Asherons' Call, and 1E MM2 modrons, remember them? Everybody involved is getting far, far more than they bargained for... but that's the nature of stuff in Gloom...

Happy New Years to everyone from EST America...

400 chapters of Sama Rantha gone, and who knows how many more to go...

Grrr, time flying on the holidays...

Thank you to my patrons for their support. Every little bit helps, and this time of year, it is appreciated. I've been posting consecutively and without skipping a day (although some were late) for a year straight now, and Sama Rantha is just staring to hit her stride as we continue moving through her story. I was hoping for more feedback from readers and patrons as to what they would like to see in the future, as Sama can appear literally anywhere the Hag Curse could possibly manifest, and t...

Looks like I will be painting over the weekend

I've reached 150 on Far Future chapters done, and Sama is slowly moving out into the galaxy. Hoping to see my readers get me over a thousand stones so I can dump a couple extra chapters!

2 Chapters done today!

I have reached Chap 142 done with Far Future. If I can get a couple more ahead, I think I will be releasing an extra chapter or two for a few days. The story is moving along nicely as certain objectives are achieved, and the Ranthas steamroll things along. But of course, as they do, other eyes start turning towards them...

On the other side, xmas decor went up today in the house, and there were two people from my native state of Michigan on Jeopardy today!

Okay, I really do need to post more...

Strange weeks this week, got distracted. Two of the books I edit for are done, and another's translator was out of town. I got carried away doing ebook stuff and pounded out a lot of pages and hurt my neck. Hmm. Dumb stuff. 

I got behind on my chapter a day, but I'm all caught back up, just have to do today's chapter. I did spend my time writing up a dozens pages about what might happen if Aelryinth, the hero of the original Power of Ten novel was put up, which I might post.

...

Turkey Day has come and gone

And now we are into the Xmas season here in America. My Nanowrimo story is posted for all patrons to enjoy, and who knows, I may expand upon it in the future. Sama as a superhero is pretty badass too, just from a Stats standpoint...

Working on Chapter 126 of Far Future. Things are proceeding apace, and now Sama is touching forces from far off in the Empire...

Happy Turkey Day!

Hope everyone had a good meal with friends and family.

I should meet my Nanowrimo goal on words and have those stories posted for Patrons after Nov. 31

o.o; Chapter delay over the last few days

(Fluffy here!) So I'm sure you noticed there was some lag in the chapters. I'm so sorry *grovel* I caught a bit of a cold and had a fever over the last few days. I forgot to update the folders >.< Everything has been updated now! Again, I'm sorry for the fail! T_T

Bonus Storyline from NANOWRIMO

Sama Rantha was actually born out of Nanowrimo from last year, and I decided to cut up the chapters, post them, and keep on going.

When I complete the Fanfic/Marvel Universe stuff for Sama, I will post it for my patrons here.  I don't know how much further I will take it, although I written stuff for her in the Marvel Universe before. If there is enough interest, I could turn it into an arc of sorts, although you have to be careful with fanfic...

The chapter going public tomorrow, FF 67

was one of my favorite to write, esp. the ending. It was a demonstration of how good works... rescuing survivors, instead of leaving them to fend for themselves, and expecting them to come back if they do; treating him as a man, not a machine or cannon fodder; asking HIM for help, despite the situation he's in, knowing he can contribute, and asking for his name, not some gaudy appellation.

It was rewarded with honor, loyalty, and in the end, dying for a Good Cause... and being rewarded ...

Ack! too long since last post.

So, done with 115. Energetic chapters, lots of stuff happening. And we are a day or two away from 1 million views! Thanks to all my readers and patrons!

I finished Ch 110 of Far Future last night...

1:30 AM, I type too much. I've also been trying to do a story for Nanowrimo, which has a goal of 50k words during Novemeber. I've done that much, except I threw out out half of it as the power inflation on it was too rapid. I'm trying to do a Sama in the comics Marvel universe, and it's very difficult, as power-gaming mean she immediately tries to blow the power curve.

I may just have to break the whole thing down to a series of short stories I'll make available to my Patrons.

We have hit 666!

Subscribers on webnovel. I think that means we hit the bottom of hell and are coming out the other side, right?

Luke Basely has graduated from Basic!

And is now 2nd Level! I wonder what classes he will pick!

Thanks for your support, Luke!

Whoops! Someone is still a human/1...

And we all know to err is human.

There was a mistake on the number of chapters in the level 1 folder, and Fluffy is cursing Google Drive and taking care of it. We shall have to call her Fluffy Humyn for a while, as obviously Goblyns wouldn't make such mistakes.

100 Chaps of Far Future almost done

Should reach today or tomorrow. Story progressing right along...

It's Nanowrimo coming up

Which is National Novel Writing Month, for those of you who don't know it.

I've been thinking of doing a fanfic for November, and then posting it for my Patreon people to read as I go along. I just have to figure the who's, hows, and whats. any recommendations from anyone?

I'm only 48 pages ahead of the free stories...

Must type faster!

OH, and everyone should say hi to the redoubtable level Seven Expert FluffyGoblyn, before her pyromaniac tendencies go off on you! She is running all this in fine, burning fashion.

First Post, getting stuff done...

Working on getting the page set up and the tiers established. It will be a day or two before the patreon becomes active!

Thanks for checking in!
