Preface
Yeah, I figured I'd knock out a commission early. Also, as the end of the year approaches, I decided to set up a feedback survey. It's voluntary of course, but this is the chance for you to tell me things and have a say in how I run my side-hustle. Please fill it out if you have a chance: https://forms.gle/Kjw2hQKH8AcVRc6z8

I said this last month, but once again: I will not be active for the month of December. I can proudly say that I've never missed a single post this year, but even I need a break. I'll still be writing, but the plan is to build myself a bit of a backlog, flesh out my outlines, and catch up with family in California.
So for the final month of this year, THERE WILL BE NO POSTS OR COMMISSIONS
Halloween: Premeditated murder is okay, sometimes.
Hogwarts, Great Britain
Today was Halloween. Samhain, for the pure, uncorrupted youths of Magical Britain who had yet to be exposed to the siren song that was free candy. It was also the first major milestone in the plot of the Philosopher’s Stone, Quirrell’s first attempt at reaching into Dumbledore’s very own chamber of sec-
Yeah, that sounded revolting to me too.

Racing back to the refugee camp took me less than half the time it did ferrying the patients and Nurse Johnson. Without a literal ton of bodies to hold me back, I hopped into the air and cast Agility, leaving the fallback point in a streak of condensed vapor.
I returned to a scene of utter pandemonium. Rather than die down, it seemed like the inclusion of SRG rein...

“What’s the rush?” Eidolon asked as he stepped into our meeting room. “I had plans today.”
My chair, a large, leather thing that threatened to swallow me whole even with my newfound teenage height, had been turned so the back faced the room. I’d have loved to have a white cat on my lap so I could do the full Bond villain schtick, but alas, pets weren’t allowed at the Kim h...

2023-10-17 16:15:22 +0000 UTC View PostSo as some of you know, I recently completed Let There Be War, a 9.5 chapter short story. It was a commission and I have fulfilled it.
I've got a document with several story ideas that never got written for whatever reason. I'm starting this poll to gauge interest. This doesn't mean I'm going to write it anytime soon, but I'd certainly keep your thoughts in mind if/when I start to choose a new prompt to make an outline for.

I stood atop the sky, staring down at the tumultuous sea below. The waves towered over most houses from crest to trough. Between the waves, on a section of superimposed calm, the beast called Leviathan glared up at me with four, baleful eyes. Even as I watched, the scales I shattered repaired themselves, seemingly without conscious input. Not as fast as Lung, but impressive nonetheless.
With a thought, I...

Wilshire wheeled in a patient, the nineteenth since I started this morning. We worked like a well-oiled machine by now. This one was clearly an emergency worker in her own right. He didn’t need to say much given the obviously crushed rib cage, thankfully the right side so whatever did this missed her heart.

Our first potions class continued. We were asked to make a boil cure potion, one of the more basic potions in our textbook. It included a base of snake fangs, six per dose, crushed into powder and added to the cauldron to form a paste-like slurry. This was, according to our textbook, one of several standards bases for many forms of health t...

The eight of us stumbled back up the stairs, almost but not quite in a broken panic. We leaned heavily against the wall, our near-death experience shaking us to our bones. Pokemon were, as a rule, stronger than humans, but most things in the forest were susceptible to bullets like every other game. That seeming invulnerability, paired with the darkness, enclosed quarters, and the way an ice type sandshrew shattered expectati...

Preface
This week’s post falls smack dab on Chuseok, a three-day harvest festival in Korea. We eat a stuffed rice cake called songpyeon (steamed in pine needles), and play stupid games in the moonlight. I won’t be doing any of that, but have the end of Arc 7 and the first chapter of Arc 8 in celebration.

And… Done! My final commission of this month is over, which means I’m free to do whatever else I want (probably get an early start for next month). I think the fact that this story received a commission proves I can’t really treat it like an omake series anymore so I’ll be adding it to my list of things to do.
For those of you who are really confused by this, I’m too lazy to upload everything to Patreon but there are 17 p...

We woke up at ten in the morning after a restless four or five hours of sleep, which meant about three back home. I didn’t know if someone on the Syrian side was making a joke about us being Americans or if it really was what they had available, but breakfast was a few boxes of frozen waffles heated in the microwave for speed. At least there was some simple syrup from the bar to go with it.

This is a commission, the fourth of five this month. The final commission will be released this coming week and is Homeless Bunny. I think I’ll put that up on Patreon as well. It’s long enough to be its own story at this point and I can’t rightly call it just an omake anymore.

We didn’t go home that night. After our hour-long break, we jumped right back to treating the wounded, physically energized thanks to the honey but still mentally exhausted. When Mariah retired for the day, she was a local and had been one of the first to respond, Victor stepped up and replaced her as the operations director of station B-3, slotting into the role annoyingly smoothly.
