2024-01-01 10:29:58 +0000 UTC View PostOut with the old and in with the new! So, first off is the monthly poll. Everyone should understand what's going on by now, but just in case... pick the project you want to see more updates for in the coming month and I'll try to put the most effort in there. I might decide to change things up one week, but overall I have a pretty good track record. $5.00 tier gets an extra vote, too.
The biggest change here will be Speedrun dropping off and Nexus Event taking th...

Okay! That's the last post for 2023, up and ready to go. It's been a great year, I think, but it's time to move on. Speedrun, noticeably, is just not getting enough traction for the last several months, so it is with great sadness that I'm going to move it off the monthly popularity poll.
That's not to say I won't be updating it occasionally, though. It'll just rely on whenever I have a spare day or two to whip up a chapter.
Nexus Even will be taking Speedr...

Here's the next part of Nexus Event, which features... well, Sara proving that, even if she's no longer a parahuman, she still loves to start shit.
What else? Hmm... well, looks like I didn't get sick over Christmas, which is good. My mom's better for those who were concerned.
I'm going to try and get one more chapter out this year, at least. Maybe a quest thing too if I can find the time, but no promises on that front. Until then, rock on, stay awesome, an...

Before Christmas, as promised! Even if Christmas is going to be a bit weird this year, given my mother just caught COVID. So that's a thing. She's on the mend, but it's probably going to catch everyone in the house, which means family from out of town cancelled at the last minute and everything is kind of a dumpster fire now.
Anyway! You didn't come here for drama. Or, well, non-literary drama.
I plan on taking the next week to work on a chapter of Sp...

A Yakumo focus chapter! Probably not what anyone was expect, but what the story needed! Next chapter will feature interactions with Kokoro, so look forward to that.
The next thing I'm working on will be a chapter of Winning Peace, which I hope to have out before Christmas.
Other than that... I'm pretty tired, so I'm probably going to bed immediately after posting this. I'll roll the next chapter over to QQ later on, after I get back from work.

The conversation with Frank and Harry continues, then concludes! Ray sets himself up to become very, very wealthy indeed as the future unfolds, but the mystery of the secretary looms large!
Next up is likely another mainline chapter of Industrious. After that, I'm thinking about Winning Peace.
Happy Holidays to all and stay awesome!

Okay, a little later than I wanted it out, but a little longer than what I'd intended also. Plus, weekends beat the crap out of me as per usual.
Other than that,not much to say. This is a non-Kirito POV chapter, to give a better idea of other peoples' thoughts and emotions on various things. There's a lot of planning going on and a short time skip (one month). Next chapter will return to Kirito's POV and have a bit more planning before the action hits.
What...

Not much to say this time around. We'll be moving into a new arc soon, though, and this is some preparatory stuff for that in the near future, so look forward to that.
In the meantime, once again thank all of you for your support. I really mean it when I say I couldn't do this without you.
Rock on and stay awesome.

Okay, looks like this is done and the vote is too, so I'll get working on the new mandate. Which is, uh... suspiciously similar to the previous one. Industrious in first, Winning Peace in second, The New Ron in third, Where Your God Is in fourth, and Speedrun in fifth.
Probably going to get a chapter of Industrious out and then throw some attention at Where Your God Is real quick. So expect those updates this week.

2023-12-01 11:15:56 +0000 UTC View PostI think everyone knows the game by now. Pick your favorite project and I'll try to give it some attention depending on the total number of votes. Every now and then, I deviate a bit from the whims of popularity, but I think I have a pretty good track record.
In other news, I'll be making a few changes next month. Because trying to do that during the holiday season is utter madness. Nothing major, benefits stay the same, I'll just be reworking...

Okay, various family members have headed back to their own homes and I am firmly recovered from Thanksgiving. Now I await the trial that will be Christmas.
In other news! Here's another chapter of Winning Peace, where Ezekiel does something impossible! He makes a friend! Amazing!
I'll be working on a quest update to have out late Thursday or early Friday in conjunction with the December Poll. Also an announcement or two with things I've been thinking ...
2023-11-29 09:50:44 +0000 UTC View Post
Well, getting this out by Thursday didn't happen, unfortunately. I should have realized with Thanksgiving and everything that I'd be otherwise occupied with family matters. Still, here it is!
Introspection, a look at how the Hokage is handling Kotaro's reputation behind the scenes, and a few other interesting tidbits here and there.
Next up will either be a quest update or Winning Peace.
I hope everyone has had a safe holiday season so far and will continue to do...

So, I ended up hurting my back late last week doing some digging. Nothing serious, but it turned out that sitting in a chair for long period of time aggravated it. Which means I haven't been able to put my butt down in front of a computer to write much over the weekend. On the upside I managed to binge a show or two I'd been meaning to get done and had a good time celebrating my mother's birthday.
On more relevant news, though! This is finished, I'm working on an...

Well, thought I was going to finish this last night, but couldn't quite. That ended up being a good thing, tough, because I opened the document up with fresh eyes and added nearly a thousand extra words. Woo!
Anyway, next up is... hmm, I think I'll pay The New Ron some attention, and then either another chapter of Winning Peace or the mainline of Industrious. We'll see how time allows.
Since I don't think I've said it recently, thank you all again for the amazing...

Here's a quick update for the new quest. Currently working on an Industrious: Engineering Marvels update. Should have that out in the next day or two. Just wanted to finish this first.
Rock on and stay awesome.

And now that lewds have happened, here we go with the plot! Specifically, one of the two major surgeries the MC has signed up for. I foresee the second happening sometime soon as well.
Next update will probably be either a chapter of the Engineering Marvels sidestory or a quest update for Otherworldly.
Rock on and stay awesome.

Alright, that's the quest update done and... Industrious wins the monthly poll, to no one's surprise. Somewhat more interesting is a very close call between Winning Peace and The New Ron. Still, Winning Peace does eek out a victory once all the votes between Patreon and SubscribeStar (and all the tiers) are tallied. So it looks like the standard 1,2,3 finish.
I'll get to working on Industrious, as promised, and try to have it out in the next few days. Main storyl...

Well, Nexus Event won out over The New Ron this time, but I'll go ahead and promise to get out a chapter of the latter sometime this month as well.
In the meantime, there's still most of a day left on the poll, so if you haven't voted you can take a look at the options. I'll be working on getting out an update for the SV Code Geass quest over the weekend and then a chapter of Industrious (Main Story) sometime early next week.
Hmm... is that it for housekeeping? Think s...

Here's the quest update, as promised. I'll have the November Poll up later tonight after I cool down a bit. Other than that, look forward to either The New Ron or Nexus Event while the poll is going and probably a Code Geass Quest thing over the weekend. After that, we'll be back on track for the usual culprits.
Happy Halloween!

Hey, look! Something on time on a weekend! It can be done after all!
I'll be working on a quest update for Monday and then we'll have another round of voting for November, but I'm really happy I got this done. With a bit of extra length, even!
In case I don't manage to get something out like I plan to, I wish everyone a very Happy Halloween! Be sure to celebrate safely and responsibly. Or at least use protection.
Everyone rock on and thank you ...
As promised, here's a quest update. Now back to the grind on Industrious!

Finally, at long last, the promised Kotaro/Satsuki chapter!
This chapter is predominantly lewd, just FYI. The first page or so is set up, but the rest of it is NSFW outside of a small rumination on Kota's security seals.
That said, I hope you enjoy it and I'm sorry this is slightly late. My weekend got a little crazy with some complications. Nothing serious, just time-consuming.
Thank you again for all of the support you guys have given me. I...

As Jimmy Buffett once sang, it's five o'clock somewhere. It's also still Wednesday somewhere, so this still counts!
Here's Ezekiel's arrival on Mars along with a bit of the details on the ships, which will trickle in over the course of the next few chapters. Next up, the moons of Jupiter!
Well, no, next up will be another chapter of Industrious, but you know what I mean.

Here's the second part of the new quest prologue.
I'll have the next chapter of Winning Peace out by Wednesday, I think. Have an awesome week!

Alright! That's the introduction to this story done!
Next comes the meat of the matter, though there will be some bridging material for a chapter or two as Ray gets set up in his new world and armed to the teeth to help the Steve and Bucky hunt down Hydra.
That will be for later, though. Next up on the docket is a chapter of Winning Peace, though I may sneak a quest update out over the weekend first.
Once again, I can't thank you guys, gals, and non-binary pals e...
