Hey everyone!
Just to bring you up to speed on eBook 2:
I spent the first few days of December finishing off the second eBook, so the text for that is ready to go. It's nearly 50% bigger than eBook 1 and covers chapters 11-20. I fixed all the grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors, then r...

It seems Patreon has decided to change the way it charges processing fees... (Starting from 18th December).
Currently, the way they do it is they charge 5% for their own fees, then the credit card companies charge processing fees that vary around 6.5%-9%. There's also a flat ch...

Hi everyone,
Here it is, Chapter 95 hot off the keyboard!
I've done a first editing pass of part 1 and I'll go through the rest of the edits over the next couple of days.
The next order of business is a final pass of Chapter 94, then I'll po...

I've handed over part 1 of chapter 95 to my editors and I've written about 3k of part 2 so far. All being well, I should be able to finish it by the evening of the 30th.

The blue X shows where the Delta Aries system is located. The dashed X on the left is the original meeting point, but the Maliri fleet moved closer towards the Kirrix border to speed up the journey time for the Invictus travelling from the Trankaran Republic.
The best way to imagine it is to think...

Hey everyone,
Just thought I'd mark on the map where the Delta Aries system is (the blue cross) and the proposed route of the Maliri fleet through Brimorian space to reach the Trankaran Republic.

Hey everyone!
Here's chapter 94! Sorry for the delay, catching the flu wrecked my productivity.

It's been a slow week, as I've been recovering from a flu bug. I've handed over part 1 of chapter 94 to my editors and I'm making a start on part 2.
I've spoken to a new artist about working on a picture of Alyssa in the Fool's Gold. What I think I might do is update eBook1 w...

Hey everyone!
I've just finished chapter 93, so here it is fresh from the keyboard!
I've only edited the first half so far. I'll make a note here when I've gone through the second.
I hope you enjoy it!

Hey everyone,
I went through a bunch of iterations on the alien ship with the artist. This is the previous 'final' variant, but I wasn't happy with the purple ribbing.

Hey everyone!
I've been working with the same artist as before (Hideyoshi) for the cover art on the third eBook. This scene is taken from Chapter 27. Their trusty assault cruiser has been upgraded to Invictium armour and Calara is shooting out the Drakkar's retro-thrusters with the topdeck Laser C...

Chapter 91 is now finished. I've done all the edits, posted the completed version to Patreon and submitted it to literotica.

2017-10-21 22:12:57 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys,
I'm thinking about getting the same artist to do a second picture of the Invictus, but this time when it had black armour. It's probably sensible to get him to work on all three pictures back-to-back, while I look for another artist to work on pictures of the crew.
So I was thinkin...

Because of the sharp angle on the main picture, it was hard to see the proper dimensions of the Invictus. This was the model the artist put together. He made the hangar and cargo bay a bit longer on the picture rather than update the model, so they're a bit narrower here than they should be. I'll ge...

I'm calling it a night as it's getting quite late (1am).
Despite being distracted by the eBook, I've managed to write 25k words of chapter 91 so far. :-)
All being well, it should be available by the 11th October.

I published my first eBook yesterday and it went live on the various international amazon sites this morning! :-) (US link below)
Hey everyone!
With the upcoming eBook release, I was thinking about renaming the story. It's been pointed out to me by numerous people that the story title sucks and initially made them think it was some kind of eating fetish story... (which it sort of is, with the girls on a high-protein diet!) 2017-10-04 20:25:13 +0000 UTC View Post
Same as the Invictus image. The artist added a lot of detail, but it's harder to see on the main picture unless you view it full screen.

I've cropped this from the main image, just to make it easier to see.

Hideyoshi has finished the artwork I commissioned with him and I think he's done an awesome job!
I'll summarise everything in the picture, to preemptively answer some questions that will probably come up.

Hey guys!
The artist working on the Invictus commission has just finished a simple render. He'll add lots more detail once I've signed off the basic design.
It's actually pretty close to how I imagined it. (This is the initial version in Chapter 7).
What do you guys think? 2017-09-26 22:39:56 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey guys!
I've been speaking to a different artist about doing a new piece on the Invictus. It's much more expensive than the previous artworks, but I intend to use it as banner artwork for this site and as the cover for my first ebook.
