RotGM chapter next!
-
'Hey, something wrong down there, Coye? Hello? You ok?' Shayla knocked on her partner's noggin repeatedly with her tiny fist, trying to wrest his attention away from the door to Dorothy's office and back on the quest board in front of them where it belonged.
Coye snapped back into the moment and shook his head, whispering, "Yeah, I'm fine... just thought I heard something, but... it's nothing."
For a moment, he was convinced he could hear...

By the time he made it back to the Guild, it was a little over nine in the morning, and Coye’s good mood was fully restored. He found no one there to greet him in the entrance hall, Tammy or otherwise, but on his way to the stairs, he came across a couple of adventurers staring at the quest board.
One was a fancy-looking male knight decked out in ornate armor, and the other was a female mage wearing tattered rags and a big hat. Coye recognized them because they lived in the same Guild...

A little update for all you guys, too. I'll be making the next RotGM chapter after I finish working on the Coye chapter I'm working on, which should be fairly soon. Expect a new one within the next 2-3 days probably. I don't want to leave you guys hanging for too long, but I am deep in the sunken cost fallacy right no...

Getting pretty close to finishing up on volume two, just five more chapters to rewrite! We'll see how things go. I'll make sure to do a RotGM chapter soonish, maybe after the next one.

Given that the boy had all sorts of reasons to be happy, a big ol' smile was plastered across his face as he stepped out the front door and exited his lover's shop. The crisp morning air sank into his skin, smelling like a new day full of possibility and sunshine.
Being well-laid put a sprin...

Coye walked into Suzette’s kitchen for the first time and found that it doubled as a dining room. There was a rectangular wooden table with one chair tucked into each side. On top of the table was such a wide array of breakfast food that Coye was impressed with Suzette for pulling it off on such short notice.
It couldn’t have been longer than twenty minutes since he left, yet Suzette had prepared pancakes, sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, orange slices, and more. It also came served ...

"AH! First my clothes, and now THIS?!" Suzette shouted far off in the distance, jolting Coye straight out of his slumber and into the waking world in as rough a way as possible.
With practiced precision brought out by years of thorough survival training, Coye leaped out of bed, ready to kick some ass if there was an ass that needed to be kicked. He threw the blanket off his nude body behind him like a billowing cape, ready to respond to any signs of danger and protect Suzette at any cos...

Volume 2 of The Corruption of Coye is ready for preorder! The release date is not final, I just chose it that far in advance to give myself wiggle room. I'm expecting it to actually be out by the end of the month. It should be 100k words roughly, meaning 300+ pages.

Gonna start a new RotGM chapter, even though I wanna keep working on Coye lmao.
Please let me know what you thought of this one, as it was very difficult and required two rewrites and it's ultimately a filler that reveals a lot of new stuff about Shayla so I'm worried about how it flows.

Almost done with that annoying chapter I mentioned, sorry for the delay. I had to essentially rewrite it the initial first time, and then go over it start to finish an entire second time based on the rewritten version. It was really rough. There's just one page out of 16 remaining for me to edit, so it'll be up tomorrow.

Just letting you guys know that my rewrite of Coye Vol 2 Ch. 10 is going a bit slower than planned, it's the one where Shayla is on her own at night snooping around and it's taking a while. Expanding on it a whole lot and even then it'll probably need a second round of editing. Hope to get it done with tomorrow.

Sorry for the wait on this one. First I was sick for a day, and then it was Daylight Savings Time. It didn't hit me as hard as it usually does, but it still wasn't ideal. Not like it ever is.
Really gotta start grinding out the edited chapters, this is taking far too long. I'll do a new RotGM chap once I'm further along.

Sorry, I know I said yesterday new chapter but I had a bad day in general and I actually didn't do like any work. So it got pushed to today.
For those of you who've read the outlines for this arc, I am thinking of moving away Gwin's stuff to directly after this arc. The renovations will still happen this arc, and they'll still tackle more Pinemen, but I want to reduce the clutter and having two big things be the center of this arc feels like it'd add more stress for me.

The first thing that Coye and Shayla saw when stepping into the older woman’s bedroom was that it fit the aesthetics of the rest of Suzette’s house. That was to say it was dark and brooding and that, like the living before it, it had minimal furniture.
The room’s centerpiece was undoubtedly the large four-poster bed hidden behind a curtain of lacy black ...

I got distracted and felt like doing a random monster design, so I did this really loose thing. Might do more sometime, and might also use this as a basis for a more detailed character eventually. Never know!

Urban got this really cute chibi of Shayla from Ayanobro, follow them here - https://twitter.com/ayanobro
It came out really nicely! I eventually want to find someone to produce more chibis like this to sell as stickers and advertise at the back of books, but this artist doesn't seem to have good availability. Still, super cute!

First of the final drafts. This one ended up being so big that I'm splitting it in two, but I'm still keeping the internal name as ch7 for filing reasons.
Good news also, next RotGM is almost done, too! Will probably finish it tomorrow.

Removing the belt wasn’t much of a hassle, but it brought along with it certain expectations that went unfulfilled. Coye was confused when Suzette proceeded to ignore his area of desire which had just been so kindly liberated.

Debut of another future member of Coye's harem!

Coco is a mysterious Dogfolk somewhere around the age of 18 to 20, exact age unknown. She is four foot and entirely flat-chested.
For as long as Coco can remember, she lived in a forest north of Perlshaw known as the Wolfwin Woods. Rather than the typical raised by beasts story, Coco was raised by herself and every day was a fight for survival.
As she grew older and developed her survival and combat skills, she became t...

Currently, all these chapters in rough draft form is 53,000 words. My goal is for +100k words, which would almost certainly be reached if I made this chapter the endpoint, started the rewriting process, and then made the next volume all of the Byng stuff. Typically when rewriting chapters I add two to three thousand words.
I need to think about it, as this might be a good stopping point. Narratively I think it might be a cute end to have some Shayla focus.
Also I apologize, I said...

Shayla slept hard as Coye went about his business in Cransmere, making a stop at the market to sell his feathers. People looked at him with impressed glares as he walked past them covered in the blood of beasts. It made him feel like a strong, respected hero for once.
Finding a buyer wasn’t too hard. After working past his awkwardness, he ask...

The second Owlbear was a good deal taller and bulkier than its mate. Faster, too. Coye suspected he’d been attacking the female until now, and now the male was pissed to see his lover in such pain. Dorothy once told him how to tell the genders of Owlbears apart, but he was too busy strategizing to recall.
Using a low-powered Quick Step to evade and separate himself from the foe, he told Shayla his thoughts. “The other one won’t be able to move any minute now. Let’s focus on the ...

I didn't do much writing today but I wanted to show you guys what I did do. Bragos is one of the seven provinces in Karnalle, but it's probably the most underdeveloped of them as far as my plans for it go. So when making more detailed maps of them like I've wanted to do for a while, I thought it would be the best place to start.

Been a while since I've updated you all on how I feel about things, and the truth is kind of mixed.
I've been up and down, but work has been consistent at the very least. I'm getting rough drafts done for Coye vol 2 pretty fast and we're over halfway done, and I'm expecting to be done mid to late next month. I didn't meet my goal of having it done by the end of this month, but that's fine.
My mood has seen some pretty downward slopes this month, the Ukraine stuff in particular rea...

I made this yesterday for my own purposes but of course I'll share. It's very basic, and should not be taken as completed. It's just the gist of things, and I'll keep updating it when I add more shit as the Corruption of Coye continues.
For those who haven't read it yet, Cransmere is a town that was devestated thousands of years ago by one of Karnalle's Demon Lords, Thalrad. His remaining influence is especially strong in the Woods, but even now so long after his defeat his linger...

‘Hey, something wrong down there? Helloooo?’ Shayla knocked on her partner’s noggin with her tiny fist as he stared at the door to Dorothy’s office only a few feet away from the quest board.
“No, nothing...” Coye whispered and dismissed his thoughts.
For a moment, he thought that he heard the sound of a pack of RealMonster cards being opened in Dorothy’s office, but since there was a bard singing verses over in the dining room, he couldn’t be entirely sure...

Coye’s mood had picked up by the time he reached the Guild at a little over nine in the morning. No one was in the entrance hall, so he passed by a few adventurers staring at the quest board on his way to the second floor.
In his dorm room, he stashed away his new folder and opened the third pack of cards that Shayla had slipped him. This time, the rare card was a Skeletal Lord from the Barrowlands in southern Rhoivan.
He would organize his cards into the folder at a later time,...

Coye had all sorts of reasons to be happy that morning, so as he left the Darkwood General Store through the front door, he had a big smile plastered across his face.
Above anything else, his focus was on getting to the nearest alleyway so he could talk to Shayla properly. He had so much he wanted to say to her that he unintentionally lowered his guard...

This one is rough because I used dictation on my ipad for some of it. Ignore the typos and weird punctuation and spelling.
I also want to apologize for being behind schedule. My mood has been exceedingly low lately and it's made getting things done difficult.

“AH!”
Coye woke to the sound of Suzette shouting, seemingly coming from the store. He jumped out of bed, throwing the blanket to the ground as he started to instinctually look for his sword.
“Mnngh... what’s going on...?” Shayla poked her head out, rubbing her eyes. Coye thought that she looked a little rough, but was more concerned.
“Suzette’s in trouble,”
“You go and deal with that, then...” She groaned. “My stomach is forcing me to question my ...

Just a quick update on my current workload and junk before I let you read all this new lore.
I've been feeling really junky the last few days, like, really bad. I think I'm getting over it but it came outta nowhere and hit especially hard yesterday so I barely got anything accomplished. I don't think I'm gonna do the RotGM chapter I promised for this week after all because of it, but I'll try and have a new one out by Wednesday.

I know I keep saying this but this one is even rougher lol. It gets the point across I think, that Shayla is having some doubts and inner conflict, but I need to polish it a whole lot.

Shayla was disappointed. Unlike when she and Coye were sleeping at the Guild, tonight, she was able to fly about the place and do as she pleased. She wanted to get into all sorts of hijinks and mess with Suzette’s belongings, but there just weren’t any fun opportunities.
