Big Change

Alright, let me explain:  I have devoted so much time to writing that all I do is work and write ... my social life has become basically non-existent.  T_T  I usually set goals on myself and just work myself to the ground.

Then SME ... why do you keep coming up with all these other series?!  Because ... it's hard not to think about the potential they can bring.  I'm hopeless...

So, I need to change how I do things; I'm going to commit to at LEAST two chapt...

A Tail's Misfortune: B3 — 44. The Struggle

Kari's POV

I might refine this chapter tomorrow when I get a bit more time, but I'm falling asleep while posting.  xD  Please, if you see anything, then please shout it out.  I want to make this chapter better and fear my brain is too mushy at the moment to properly edit it.  I gave it my best shot with blaring music in my ear!

Rachel’s ears twitched as she listened to the surrounding jungle, still assessing the situation while looking at the camouflaged insect inside Fiona’s Wind Prison.

Taliesin was talking to Thomson and Cross about returning to Earth to report, making sure they knew the i...

A Tail's Misfortune: B3 — 43. A Hopeless Situation

Edit:  I added Gurakuqi to the chapter and updated a few parts.  Man, Gurakuqi's change is going to affect Mimi a lot.  All that stress...  I'm working on the next chapter to release later tonight right now.

Edit 2: It came to my attention that this chapter wasn't pasted over properly.  I apologize.

Man, Sora's being hit with a lot of things.  She needs some direction.  D=  If only she wasn't such a nice gir...

The Next Project

Now that I'm releasing Undying Empire to the public it is time to start on other chapters.  Which serial do you want me to advance first?  These are for their respective tiers to even out the rewards for higher levels.

The 15 one is 5 ahead for everyone.

The Oscillation B3 — 3. Making A Move

I hope this chapter doesn't come out as bad as I fear ... I've been sick and something felt off to me when I wrote it.  Give me your opinions when you're done.  I'm more than willing to go back and manipulate things if anything seems off.  Maybe it's just my stomach that's off and the chapter's fine ... sigh ... I rarely ever get sick.  It sucks when it happens, though.  Throwing up sucks...

A Tail's Misfortune: B3 — 42. Party Crashers

Edit:   So, someone asked, what happened to Gurakuqi?  And I was like ... What happened to Gurakuqi?  I went back and *facepalm* I forgot all about her!!!  That's the first time I've ever lost a character in a scene (it's like that ghost anime trope; they're there but no one remembers it).

Well, her being there was kind of actually necessary once I thought about it, which changes up the whole chapter.  I rewrote 42 and will rewrite the next...

The Oscillation: B3 — 2. A New World

Edit: I actually had a ton of mistakes on this one and shifted around Fiona's rap a bit.  xD  I fixed what I saw.  Sorry it took so long.

Sorry for all the delays ... so much tends to happen around the same time with my family, haha ... sigh, anyways, my grandma is good and home.  She popped her shoulder out of place and is resting. 

This chapter was an interesting one to write.  Haha, if you have suggestions with Fiona's performance ...

Apologies For TO Delay; 1 Day Late

My family does a double Thanksgiving celebration that requires a lot of prep and work (gives something for my grandparents that are in their 80's to look forward to ... everyone gathering together).

I tried to write a bit but I grew really busy with my other Thanksgiving party and helping my mom.  I'll finish it when I get a little time on Monday during breaks.  My other grandparents won't be around long and I'd like to spend some time with them tomorrow.

I'll also try t...

A Tail's Misfortune: B3 — 41. Life Was Never Fair

Sora passed a few plates as they took turns moving around the platters, loading up on food.  She noticed Wendy trying to hide her glare, gaze darting to Kari every so often.  The Fenris Wolf must have seen, but ate quietly, keeping to herself.

Ashley and Alice weren’t touching the food they’d prepared, choosing instead to smile at the others as they helped themselves.

“So,” Mary hummed, eyeing the unusual purple vegetable mix that was passed to her.  “What...

The Oscillation: B3 — 1. New Information

Well, we made it to Volume 3!  Now we'll see what mysteries lie beyond this crystal ... what awaits our heroines?  I tried to skip by most the unimportant stuff, getting the grit out of the way with what time I had.  The transition to a new volume always has a little bit of ... well, transitioning.

A Tail's Misfortune: B3 — 40. Reforging Relationships

Man, the process of healing can hurt and brings out buried emotions in people.
It's a new day; morning comes and brings new light ... everything will be alright.

---------------------

Sora wasn’t sure how long she and Kari held each other, but at some point, Kari pulled away.  She bit her lower lip, looking down at the ground; the bond they shared began to weaken as uncertainty mixed with Kari’s Core.

“What—do we do now?”  Kari whispered.

B2 — 23. Forging Bonds

Well, I ended up trying to condense the story a bit to pick up the plot.  How do you feel about me sliding past scenes like that?  To me, it feels like I'm missing a lot of character development and interactions that bring a story to life, but this did skip at least two more chapters, maybe three.  What do you think about the condensed experiment?  To me ... it's almost like an abridged version, giving it less depth, but I suppose that's what people have been asking me for...

Thank You Patrons Day!

So, apparently, Patreon is starting a thank you patrons day; they have hashtags and everything.  I don’t know exactly what they expect of it; I just get random messages that I’m usually too busy to bother reading, but I get the gist and agree.


It really means a lot to me that you guys help support me with my writing, and I know that seeing a notification to see a ‘thank you’ message is a bit disappointing ... that email that makes you excited to get new content o...

The Oscillation: B2 — 22. The Challenge

I'm really starting to enjoy the Rachel Anthony dynamic.  He really brings Rachel out of her box.  =)) The next chapter will be interesting.

Rachel felt a spur shoot through her veins as she rose to her feet, hair partially fanning around her back.  “Then, should we take it outside?”

“Okay, I think this has gone too far,” Duncan muttered.  “You can’t just go around picking fights.”

She frowned as she turned to h...

A Tail's Misfortune: B3 — 39. Broken

11/16/2019 Edit:  Ryan had a valid point, and after deliberation, I decided to retcon the last part of this chapter.  I took out the song and created something original.  I hope you enjoy it more.  =))

Man ... how long I've thought about this happening ... so much to reach this point in the serial.  367k words for this chapter.

Hehe, It's interesting to see how I ended up conceptualizing Anthony's personality.  I hope you enjoy!  There is a 'bit' of a cliff hanger at the end ... I just ran out of time.

Rachel made her way to the opposite building, causing a buzz of talk to follow her.  She listened to one of the more noisy groups.

“Hey, did you hear what Allen said?”

“Yeah!  They’re leaving tomorrow night, but isn’t that strange?  They caused s...

A Tail's Misfortune: B3 — 38. Morning People

Edit:  I didn't plan on it taking this turn, but I suppose Kari is still wearing her spandex and that would make Sora a bit uncomfortable.  Especially, once she'd already given everyone clothes, and Aiden would have asked her to make Kari some (he's pretty shy about exposed skin).

This is not all of the chapter!  I had a pretty long day today; my grandma's been having some bad falling problems and so I've been helping out both my mom and her.  My mom...

The next chapter Rachel will finally meet Anthony.  We're getting closer to the end of the night and getting to the juicy parts of the crystal.  =))  Poor Slice of Life parts that can get people antsy ... the girls need a break, though.  D=

Rachel walked toward the breakroom as she listened to her group.

Maëlle’s soft hum caught her attention.  “Maria, what you said before, can Rachel really hear us?”

So, you guys were tied on the vote when I checked to start writing the next chapter.  I wrote this to buy time for you guys to vote on which one you wanted next.  Right now, Sora is winning the vote.  I'll check it again next week.  =))

This chapter does introduce some interesting things.

Rachel offered Maëlle her seat, moving to grab two more chairs.  “Why don’t you sit?  We have a lot to discuss.”

“Oh?  Are you not concerned about the men?”  Maëlle asked with a slight frown at Mick.
