Alright folks! I wanted to leave a little space between the still-ongoing Displaced Hero Relationship Poll - Round 2 and the main story poll for the month, hence why it's only going up now. But it's certainly time to hoist the poll up for everyone to get their votes in! Since A Very Confused Pokémon Adventure beat out both Halfway Broken and Eridium Dreams to take the victory, Poké...

Alright, now that A Very Confuse Pokémon Adventure has been out a few days, as promised, it's time for Round 2 of the Displaced Relationship determination! As things currently stand the pairing is:
Izuku/Aayla/Mei/Padmé/Sabé/?/?
The two question marks represent the absolute maximum size of the pairing, just as a reminder. Now, I got plenty of feedback from people after the re...

Whew! An early morning release...mostly because I just finished editing it and figured why not? At least for you guys, gals, and others. I'll probably hold off on the new public chapters until I've slept ;-). It takes like an hour+ to get them up on the various sites. Ugh.
Anyway, a couple of things about this set of chapters!
1) It's the first time I've actually written a Pokémon battle. I kept the only one that has much detail to it short and sweet for a reason. Mostly, because...
2025-04-07 10:42:31 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, folks! While I'm working away on A Very Confuse Pokémon Adventure, which should be out tomorrow (I've already got it written, it just needs its editing pass), I stopped in to announce the winner for The First Displaced Hero Relationship Poll. There will be another poll up for Round 2 in a few days, but I'll wait until after Pokémon Adventure releases tomorrow to p...

Reminder! The first Relationship Poll for Displaced Hero is ongoing! Go vote if you haven't, and make sure you understand your vote. It became clear quickly that there was some confusion on the options, so even if you've already voted, I suggest you go check out the 'Addendum to this note' bit I added to clear that up.
No April Fools h...
2025-04-02 01:57:02 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! Took me a couple of days to find the time to do the vote weighing, but the results are tabulated...and exciting! Well, for some people, at least ;-).

A Very Confused Pokémon Adventure: 110.5 + 50% Boost =165.75
Mass Effect - Eridium Dreams: 62.5+160% Boost = 162.5
One Piece - Halfway Broken: 151.5

2025-03-29 01:33:36 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, everyone! Time to get this underway! I've honestly been trying to figure out the best way to do this, as it's a bit more of a complicated situation than the relationship polls for the other fics. So, before anything else, let me lay out two general things.
---------
1) I generally don't do 'flings' or one-nights stands. My current fics aren't smut fics, which means I try to depict genuinely healthy relationships, even with multi-ships. Don't suggest them as a solution, yo...

Whew! Was a little bit tight getting this one done on time! I ended up doing more research than usual with this set of chapters, as they jump around between a lot of perspectives. In fact, Izuku and Aayla actually barely feature at all, only showing up in the latter half of chapters 78. That won't be normal, hopefully, but with the butterfly effect starting to really snowball into major changes, some additional perspectives are required to show how that is happening.
Anyway, I'm pretty...

Alright! This has actually been ready for a couple of days, but I was sticking mostly to the once-a-week schedule this time. Technically, that would be tomorrow, not today. Since I'm under a tornado warning tonight and at least some power outages are expected, though, I figured it was probably best to go ahead and get it up. Mind you, I live somewhere situated between three separate power plants and on the edge of tornado alley and I can't actually remember a time where we lost power...
2025-03-14 23:22:06 +0000 UTC View PostWhew! Sorry I didn't get this out as quick after Halfway Broken's release as usual! I'm afraid I spent the weekend mostly doing the hell known as taxes, and was too brain drained to remember I should have put this up two days ago T-T. The Boosts for Eridium Dreams and Pokémon Adventure have both been updated, so we'll see if either is up to taking on Halfway Broken for a victory!
Without farther ado...

*4/6/2025: Typo corrections made thanks to Foreign Traveler!
Alright! Halfway Broken is back after it's break in February! The latest set of chapters brings us to their next island, though I admit I'd expected to get farther into said island. Still, the reason I didn't was due to a solid number of scenes interacting with the new passengers, as well as a reaction chapter showing us some of the fallout from Thriller Bark elsewhere. As I like how all of it w...
2025-03-07 19:04:24 +0000 UTC View Post
Whew! This one was harder to write than I was expecting. Mostly because these two chapters are starting the pivot of the story away from a lot of the established characters. Which meant having to balance the introduction of new people (mostly OCs) without overwhelming everyone with a bombardment of new names.
If you wonder, while reading, why a lot of the new people aren't named yet, that is why. I'll be drip-feeding character names and descriptions in the future, so that peop...
2025-03-02 02:50:37 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! While the feedback poll about possible side content is still ongoing, March's story poll ended at midnight yesterday. It took entirely too long to tally the votes, since I had to work through a ton of Tip Jar tier people who voted in the two hours I accidentally left the poll wide open -_-. If there had been fewer of them, I might have just thrown them in at a single vote a piece. But lik...
2025-02-26 23:52:46 +0000 UTC View PostFirst, a reminder that next month's Story Poll is almost over! Make sure to vote if you haven't yet, and don't be discouraged by the visible numbers. Not only is the poll weighted, but I accidently let everyone vote for a couple of hours instead of just the voting tiers. So the numbers you can see in the poll are somewhat off.

I finished editing this early this morning. Then thought to myself 'well, I've released everything else this month slightly early,' so why not this too? So, here you go, 17,000 words of Can One Displaced Hero Save the Galaxy? a day early ;-). I let this one run a bit longer than usual, as I may have listened to a bit too much epic Star Wars music while writing one part of it and gotten carried away. Possibly. Also possible the right am...

Alright! Even earlier than I said it might be! As I said in my previous post, normally I might have held onto this until the actual aimed-for release date. But with February being so short, I don't see the point this time. As such, here it is a few days early ;-).
As for the actual chapters, they are mostly pivot/transition. There were conversations between characters that needed to happen, and some planning to be shown. I introduced a JSDF perspective that will likely get used more in...

Alright, folks! I mentioned in the most recent release of My Hero Automata, that I would be putting up a poll that would majorly affect the direction My Hero Automata goes in. Essentially, the purpose of this poll is to determine the general focus of the story going forward. We have, for all intents and purposes, hit the end point of my original planning. I had everything up to the I...

I actually intended to have this up yesterday, unfortunately I've come down with a sinus infection and am only getting things done in fits and starts while meds are working, then laying around uselessly and suffering when they aren't. Honestly, it's not a huge surprise, I might as well live in a bloody swamp, and I usually get one sinus infection every single January. I was hoping to get out of this one without one, but it was not to ...

Whew! Sorry this is out slightly late, folks! I'd intended to get it out in the early evening, but I ended up both making some changes during the editing pass...and realizing that I wanted to update the galactic map with their progress. It ended up being almost 1 am as a result, before this was ready. And I have a bunch of authors notes to do for it, too. Yikes!
Anyway, despite being out slightly later than I was aiming for, I'm extremely happy with the result. We've got another snippet...

Woo, update time! First though...no, the image isn't an accurate rendition of Izumi, sadly T-T. It's nothing more than a crude hair color retouch of a 2B AI generation. Izumi should have shoulder length hair, instead of 2B's super short hair, just as one example of something being off with the image. Mostly, I got bored of using my very bad attempt at drawing Izumi (I haven't had the time to make another try), and this shows off something closer to her revamped costume, at least. Bit less fri...

So, before anything else, part of why there's an AI generated Yamato image as the picture for this post is because the final relationship poll actually ended at Midnight on December 31st. You can check it out for the exact final totals, but the short version is that Yamato ran away with the vote. 'No additional girl' surprisingly took a distant second, wit...

Alright! As I mentioned in my previous posts, this one is a little later than usual. The holidays+extra holiday release saw to that. Still, it's only a couple of days behind the usual curve, at most. Not even quite that much, actually. I also happen to have a tiny extra bit of a game, with a very minor prize :-p.
The first chapter of this release (107) is titled Montage, and it's literally a montage of various criminals getting taken down by various people from the Clean Slate taskforce...

Whew! Last story for the month done! Sorry this one took so long guys, gals, and others! But, well, you also got an extra nearly-full-sized update of Halfway Broken this month, so no complaining ;-). This update is also over 16.5k words, so it's on the larger size of normal, which should hopefully be an additional soothing balm for it being out so late in the month.
I'm also, all in all, quite pleased with it. We got mo...

Before getting into the poll results, just a quick word about Displaced Hero. Don't worry, it's well underway ;-). I've already got about 9k words of it written, and I've got a couple of hours slotted to work on it more today. I should finish up writing it either today or tomorrow. Then I'll need a day to edit it. It should be up either tomorrow or Sunday. Also note that the first My Hero Automata of Jan might be...
