Upcoming Retail Ebooks

The three most recent covers that I commissioned have been titled and finalized, which means that the Retail versions of those Ebooks will be coming to Patreon and your e-reading platforms of choice very soon. I've been alerted to some small typos and errors that I have to clear up first, then I can make the new versions and ship them. 

As always, thank you guys for your support, without which commissioning artwork for covers would be quite impossible.

What do you want me to work on next?

Now that the website has been launched, I'm free to resume a normal work schedule. Thanks for bearing with me! The next story I have lined up is the sequel to Worlds Apart, in which Jamie and Liz tackle the problem of inter-species reproduction.

It's also been a while since I wrote a new Wiki article, and now that the Wiki section of the website is online (and is honestly way easier to work with than Fandom's system) I figured you guys might want more deets on one of the species. <...

The Heart of Riven

A Guardian and his companion brave the vaults of the Dreaming City in search of a terrifying creature, but soon discover that they are expected. (Destiny fanfiction).

Here’s the first 7000 words of a story I’ve been chipping away at while working on the website. It’s just a small project that will probably take a couple more updates to finish.

Website Launch

http://snekguy.com/ 

The website is now in a state where I feel comfortable launching it, so Snekguy.com is officially live! The goal of this website is to serve both as a repository for all of my content and to act as a backup for sites like Pastebin and Fandom. Pastebin especially has been unreliable as of late, so I’ll be posting my daily updates here in tandem. If Pastebin goes down, you can find the same content rig...

More Website Progress

After finishing the Worlds Apart Remaster, I want to take two or three days to work on the website before I start work on the sequel. Progress has been pretty fast, I uploaded 28 of the 48 stories there today, and we'll be working on getting the image gallery up and running tomorrow. The Wiki will probably follow, then we just need to make some tweaks to the UI, and it should be ready for you guys to use. The reading experience on there is actually really nice, especially for mobile users. View Post

Worlds Apart - Remastered Ebooks

Here is the free version of the Worlds Apart Ebook, remastered to bring it up to my current standards. The story is twice the length of the original, with many technical and narrative improvements. The files are available below in both EPUB and MOBI formats. We have a cover for this story in the works, so I'm expecting to be able to make a Retail version soon.

Website Progress

As some of you already know, many of the sites that I use for hosting my content have been experiencing problems lately. Pastebin has been very unreliable, and has been suffering frequent outages, and Fandom has been deleting my Wiki pages (currently reinstated, but still concerning).

As a response, development has begun on a Snekguy website, which will serve both as a repository for all of my content, including stories, images, and wiki articles, and will serve as a backup/alternative ...

Space Ambush

Two UNN Doloto-class torpedo frigates are ambushed by a Betelgeusian carrier in a debris field while on patrol. The insectoid construct of flesh and metal scrambles the fighters that are hitching a ride on its carapace as it begins to tear into its victim's hull with its claws, rending steel, rupturing fuel lines, and exposing the decks to space. The frigates frantically launch swarms of defensive missiles, responding with railgun fire and glowing trails of tracer rounds from their CIWS canno...

Wiki Issues

My Wiki for the Pinwheel setting over at Fandom.com has been deleted. I received no notifications telling me that there was a problem, nor am I aware of violating the site's ToS in any way, as there was no objectionable content hosted there. I've contacted the staff to ask them why it was deleted, and to request a backup of the thousands of words of original content that I wrote for the articles. I don't have backups of most of those pages, so it would be very disheartening to lose them.

Worlds Apart - Remastered

Here's the first 2500 words of the re-edit of my old story Worlds Apart. Much like Pinwheel, I feel this one merits a complete overhaul, so I'll be rewriting it from scratch while I use the original document as a reference. This is both to get the story ready for a retail release, and also to familiarize myself with the characters again before I start work on the sequel, which is up next.

Patreon Sales Tax and Support Tiers

Hey guys, just giving you a heads up about what's going on behind the scenes. I've been notified that as of July 1st, Patreon is going to be required to start charging sales tax in certain countries. What form that actually takes depends very much on the rewards being offered, and on what country/state you live in, as the law varies dramatically by location. You may see an extra charge on your monthly pledge labeled VAT, or you may see no change. General support should not be taxable...

Unbeknownst to him, the city is protected by a fierce tribe of reptilian warriors who v...

Warring Frigates

A UNN Clovis frigate engages a Betelgeusian torpedo boat in high orbit above a gas giant, nestled in the heart of a colorful nebula. Its railguns leave trails of molten slag as they pierce the organic spacecraft's armored hull, spraying chunks of shattered carapace, spilled bodily fluids turning to crystalline clouds as they freeze in the vacuum. Defensive plasma cannons fire back, scorching the frigate's angular armor with crackling bolts of superheated gas, the bug ship's thrusters belching...

The Clovis frigate is a common sight in UNN space, and often makes up a large part of a carrier's escort fleet. At two hundred meters, the Clovis is small when compared to cruisers and battleships, but it packs a lot of firepower, able to field sixteen railguns and packing ei...

IRL Update/Heads Up

So as some of you may already know, I've been preparing to move out of my current place for a little while.

The last of my furniture is going tomorrow, and I'll have to box up my PC tonight. I have a laptop loaded up and ready to go, I've got Discord on there, and I should be able to keep working. The place I'm going to be staying at for a few days is supposed to have Wifi, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was slow/sporadic. Once I move into the new place I expect to be up and running ...
