Industrious: Engineering Marvels - Chapter 13

I blinked slowly and released a jaw-cracking yawn as I looked down at the ream of papers still in front of me.

The Greece mission had been a trial run. The first official outing of the Howling Commandos, chosen mainly because it was so far away from central Germany and the Eastern Front with the Soviets. That meant the Hydra base in that region would likely have the least experienced forces and have the worst supplies and ammunition of any kind available. Blowing it up would ...

Industrious: Engineering Marvels - Chapter 13

Here we go! Wanted to get this out a little earlier, but I saw some things that needed fixing. So I took the extra time to get it right rather than have to do major edits after posting.

Thank again for your support and I hope to have a chapter of The New Ron up by the end of the week!

Nexus Event - Chapter 10

I woke up, as usual, with the comforting weight of a warm body next to me.

There was still the potential chance that our parents might show up, so Sara and I slept in our younger forms. In addition to that, we were children. Especially in those forms, sleep tended to come easier, last longer, and be generally deeper and more refreshing. Plus, it gave us a sense of solidarity with the other girls, who all lived with some degree of parental supervision and it was good ...

Nexus Event - Chapter 10

One of the fringe stories that I don't often get an opportunity to write, but I hope its well-received regardless.

Next up, onto more popular stuff! I'm thinking... Industrious' Marvel side and The New Ron to finish out the month.

Winning Peace - Chapter 24

“Okay, so it's been three months since Gundam: Reality was released by the Ministry of Entertainment and Culture. As the title indicates, it's the latest in the nearly two-century spanning list of titles in the titular giant robot franchise originally started in 1979. Now, while the franchise had ventures into AR and simulated VR before, this is its first proper 'full-dive' VR treatment and has faced wide-spread acclaim in most regards. Now, we would be remiss if we did not also me...

Winning Peace - Chapter 24

...and it's done! A 3.5k treatise on space warfare and giant robots!

Next chapter will be... literally anything else. This one did some brain frying, but it was so fun I couldn't not do it.

I'll update again in a few days with... probably Nexus Event. Where Your God is also calls to me, so we'll have to see.

Until then, I hope everyone is doing well and thank you again for all the support you've given me. I really can't say enough how much I appreciate it...

Industrious - Chapter 58

Nohara Rin looked over the man explaining the procedure the closest thing she had to a mother was about to undergo. The slightly overweight monk's name was apparently Rihaku. A wanderer who had taken up in Konoha now that he was getting on in years and no longer wished to travel the Elemental Nations in search of ancient and forgotten lore.

...and honestly, she could see it.

As annoying as it was, he had the air of a well-traveled man. His bald head bore a few small scars...

Industrious - Chapter 58

Alright, this one was a little more difficult to get out.  Sorry about that.  A combination of some family drama, a bout of personal headaches (literally), and a bit of writer's block on how to structure a scene.

That's over now, though!  I'm likely going to be looking at doing a chapter of Nexus Event this week to shake the dust off and do something different.

I've also got the next chapter of Winning Peace started, so expect that some time as well.

Winning Peace - Chapter 23

I leaned back and watched from cyberspace as the final stronghold of the Last Dogs was breached by a multinational force. High in the mountains of Tibet, a country almost completely controlled by their rhetoric and cult-like mentality, the Stellar Council had led a fifty-thousand strong commando unit of the best of the best, supplemented by twice that many Autonomous Troopers. The humanoid robots I'd initially designed for the Security Force here on Luna had been adapted for all-out warfare a...

Winning Peace - Chapter 23:

Here's the new Winning Peace.  Nothing much to report.  Probably heading to bed after this, so I'll reply to comments after I get up.

Thanks again for all your support and I hope to keep things moving at a steady pace.

Next up is OG Industrious.

Industrious Poll

While I'm working on the next update (Winning Peace), I thought I go ahead and try for an answer to a question I've been wondering about for a while.

This isn't anything binding, so just vote however you want to.  I'm just curious.

Since this isn't binding, everyone gets one vote, though.  Just to keep things simple and give me a good idea of how many actual subscribers are looking for what content.

Which do you like more?

Semper ad Meliora - Quest Update

Okay, got at least this much done.  Even if it's not as much as I wanted to, it's still a step in the right direction.

Hope everyone enjoys, next up is either more Winning Peace or Naruto-Industrious.

Not sure past that, but we'll have to see.  Good luck on the new week and know that I suffer in solidarity with all those going through the Daylight Savings Time changeover.

Industrious: Engineering Marvels - Chapter 12

In the quiet moments between sleeping and waking, when the world seemed to hold its breath, Steve Rogers wondered if the life he now found himself living was just a fever dream brought on by one too many knocks to the head in back alley fights.

It felt that way, often enough, at least.

After all, he'd gone from a scrawny normal guy from the streets of Brooklyn to being a dancing monkey on the national stage to leading an elite strike force fighting an occult super-science division...

Industrious: Engineering Marvels - Chapter 12

And more violence!  Another chapter of almost pure combat!  Enjoy!

Next chapter will be something of a cleanup for this little arc and moving into a breather before going after another Hydra base. 

In terms of what's getting the next chapter, I'll be posting a new update to the Code Geass quest either late Sunday or early Monday.  Hopefully sooner, but I don't know about the timetable for that.

Regardless, I hope everyone has a great weekend and know that...

Winning Peace - Chapter 22

2120: Ezekiel Lopez is born.

2130: Ten Year Old Ezekiel Lopez manifests incredible intelligence beyond even his already-prodigious intellect.

2134: In later years it is discovered that caches of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons manufactured by the extinct Russian Federation and People's Republic of North Korea being held for decommissioning went missing from the New Sinoese Empire's holdings. Due to the fascist state's se...

Winning Peace - Chapter 22

Well, here's the promised timeline chapter.  It's a cruel necessity, though I know some people enjoy them.  I tried to spice things up a little here and there, but this was needed to give people a clearer picture of the events over the passage of time.

Next up is Industrious.  I'm thinking the Marvel side of things.  Next week will be a chapter of the OG Naruto side.

Going into another month, thank you again for all of your support and I hope everyone's having ...

Where Your God Is - Chapter 9

I grinned as the stacked roast beef was set before me by a waitress, along with a cup of au jus dipping sauce and a large soda the size of which you could only find in an American truck stop during the nineties before people realized that downing your body weight in liquid sugar might be bad for your health. Smooth cheese nearly flowed down the edges of the toasted onion-bun and over the meat, the combined smell of swiss and cooked meat.

“It's been so long,” I sighed.

Where Your God Is - Chapter 9

So, first off, Vote Results!  Tallying both Patreon and Subscribe Star with all total Bonus Tier Votes...

Industrious: 86

Winning Peace: 86

...which is a tie.  Ah, I suppose I can try that?  Let's see how a tie works out.  Both of them get the same amount of attention, then.

The New Ron is a much more distant third, with Where Your God Is at a closer fourth, and Nexus Event taking up last.

Which, uh... I know I was going to have a c...

March Favoritism - 5$ Tier

Second Verse, Same as the First!

March Favoritism!

For those of you who are new, it's a pretty standard poll.  Just vote for what you want to receive the most attention over the next month and I'll try to focus on that.  Next-most votes gets less focus and so-on.  Anyone who's been here probably knows the game.

Other than that... I think I'm pretty clear on announcements.  Nothing major to report on the horizon, I think.  A few people are poking me about one-shots, so either a few standalone stories might pop up...

The New Ron - Chapter 31 (NSFW)

“So I totally don't get it,” Tara admitted candidly as she lounged on my living room floor flat on her stomach, feet bent at the knee and kicking in the air. “He just... left? Like, can villains even do that?”

“This one apparently can,” Kim nearly growled, her head tilted downwards as she worked on her social studies essay.

“To be perfectly fair and balanced,” I began, the joke flying over their heads, “villains usually do run away, but only aft...

The New Ron - Chapter 31 (NSFW)

I am on fire this week!  Another chapter and it's an extra-length sex scene as a bonus!  Woo!

Next up is Nexus Event!  Probably not until this weekend, though.

That said, I'll have the March Poll up in a few hours after I make the drive home.  Everyone stay safe out there and I hope February was good to you, just as March should be as well.  Rock on and stay awesome!

Entrepreneurial Spirit - Chapter 4

I clapped my hands. “Okay! First day for my new part-timer!”

Izuku, caught off-guard by the noise, jumped slightly. “A-ah! Yes-Sir! Boss!”

I cocked my head to one side, then shrugged. “We'll workshop it.” I clapped again. “Anyway, first rule of the store.” I pointed to where the door had just closed behind and there was now empty wall, then looked Izuku directly in the eyes. “Do not, for any reason, leave the store without my explicit permission...

Entrepreneurial Spirit - Chapter 4

A new chapter of ES!  Woo!  Some Izuku, a sexy elf pops up briefly, and a new customer with a complicated request makes the scene!

I got this one out fast, so I'll be working on a new chapter of The New Ron next, likely to have that out with the March poll in a few days.

After that, I think I'll be returning to Nexus Event briefly before doing whatever the poll says.  Very likely Industrious in some form.

Thanks again for all the support you give me, I'm tryi...

Winning Peace - Chapter 21

I looked over the feed from my expanding Mars base.

Using the tour of the solar system, I'd deployed various autonomous builders and robots to fabricate an installation. I hadn't wanted anything close to civilization, such as it was, on the planet. With my ability to walk between worlds, I'd settle for having a small settlement on the outskirts of Eos Chasma reserved for the rare occasion I felt like interacting with other humans. Now that people were beginning to move around the system...

Winning Peace - Chapter 21

Well, this is something of a surprise to me as well, but I really felt like getting the next chapter of Winning Peace out for some reason.  Probably because the vote has been decided.

Tech Porn it is!

That said... many people did worry about update speed, so... I'll try to turn these chapters into longer ones and cut back on the number.  Same amount of content, just more condensed.  Have to see how that works out.

At any rate, I think next up to bat is a chapt...

Industrious: Engineering Marvels - Chapter 11

The Hydra base was such a stereotype that it hurt.

Thankfully, it wasn't an actual castle, but the previous base had already ticked that box and I had no doubt that we'd end up running into at least one more once we got to Germany proper. As it was, the massive concrete edifice was positioned on a tall hill that I wouldn't quite call a mountain. That said, it was within spitting distance of the real-life Mt. Olympus, so I gave them half-credit for the attempt. In all o...

Industrious: Engineering Marvels - Chapter 11

Here's chapter 11.  As promised, a break from the character drama and philosophy.  Next chapter will finish out the Hydra base and feature an alternate POV.

Until then, I'll be working on another chapter to get out this weekend.  Still not sure what, so this one will be a surprise.

Remember that the vote for Winning Peace is still open as well, for anyone who hasn't participated.

Winning Peace Timeskip Vote ($5 Tier):

Second Verse, Same as the First.

Winning Peace Timeskip Vote:

As promised, here's the vote on the immediate future of Winning Peace.

To reaffirm my answers to some FAQs...

Chapter 21 will feature Zeke learning he's in the Mass Effect setting.  That's too big a game-changer to drop during a time skip.  That's happening no matter what.

The time skip determines whether you see a bunch of intermediate steps between where Ezekiel is right now and where he will be when he meets the Council Races.

I expect the tech-up chapters...
