Patreon Hiatus - May, 2022

Hi everyone, you should get an email stating that billing for May will be paused. That means no charges to your accounts should register and the Patreon is essentially frozen for a month without charge.

I am pausing Patreon because, as I've mentioned before, my plan is to take an entire month off with the completion of Volume 8. I am a bit behind--I had planned to have the 6th and final chapter out before the end of April, but since I'm taking a week per chapter, it seems I'm going to g...

8.82 (Pt. 1-3)

Alright. This chapter has been broken into three parts due to the length and to break up the huge narrative. It is not the last one and I intend the release the final chapter on May 3rd. I may need that long just to rest and edit. 

The password is the same for all three chapters. Please be very mindful of spoilers if you are in the Discord or anywhere else and do not leave spoilers below. Even so--don't read the comments since someone always ignores this warning. 2022-04-26 10:19:00 +0000 UTC View Post

No Chapter Saturday.

I am letting you all know in advance--there will be no chapter this Saturday. As I mentioned, I've been writing in advance and editing each chapter as I learned to do with the professional editors...having one of them for Volume 8's ending might have been nice, but that's a lot of words and I'm still writing with only a day or two advance before I post.

All of that to say that I need more time. Time to rest and write--I took two days off rather than one on Wednesday, and it really helpe...

I'm getting tired. But this is the fourth chapter. Two more. May have to take an update off. See Author's Notes, but enjoy the chapter. (41,700 Words)

Enuryn's Art Poll - April 2022!

The chapter is almost out. But first--an art poll! 

Enuryn has completed all their art and you have seen it featured except for The Pride of the Wellfar--that is definitely to come. This time, I am offering only 4 categories and the most popular pick will be added to the other 4 to be commissioned.

Vote for what you want--we're excluding fauna and artifacts for now because there are a lot of great and huge options and Enuryn's Oteslia showed just how amazing he can do landsca...

Yes, it's all Erin. Final arc inbound. It's gonna be big. Ever read the Wheel of Time? Last book, final battle? I've got a lot to do but we'll see if it lands. See you in a week.

April 2022 - Side Stories Poll!

This is it. I'm releasing the chapter within like 30 minutes...just putting it up on the site. This is the last side stories poll for Volume 8. Even if I run into May, June, July...I can't see a side story. Read the chapter and you'll see we're there.

However, in honor of the poll, I thought I'd give you the choice to really change how Volume 8 ends. This is the biggest poll ever in deciding the next arc and POV--so please think carefully. Chapter's out soon! Think very hard before you ...

Important News! #1 Web Serial on Patreon!

This is a special announcement. Not a chapter--but you need to click that link and just read and see the art. It's...well, it's something that needs to be done to acknowledge a great story and author.

I regard it as a great occasion, and hopefully a slightly fun and classy gesture from one [Writer] to another. Please read, and perhaps consider reading another story. That's all from me. Resting and getting ready to get a year older. As if I wasn't already.

March 2022 - Side Stories Spoilers!

Two options. Let me be clear by not being clear:

Ser Solstice, the Singer of Terandria, and Windy Girl - ...And more! Each arc has multiple characters who are making their way in, like the Pride of the Wellfar, Eldavin, and so on. So don't take this as a single chapter or even Hectval's self-contained arc. It's the fever-pitch of a war between two powers on Terandria.

Lots of drama between characters, but yes, also battles. Mostly? It's about how the pa...

March 2022 - Side Stories Poll!

Listen up, we're here. I was surprised myself but this is a small poll because...we're down to two options left before the wrap.

That doesn't mean you won't see other characters. But it does mean it's two last major storylines to bring to the right spot before endgame of Volume 8.

And no, I have not watched a single Marvel movie since the first Avengers. But it's the same vibe for me. Everything in place? Time to see if I can give the volume the conclusion it needs.

For now?...
