Alright! Now that One Piece - Halfway Broken has been out a day or two (ish), it's time for October's Story poll to start up! A small-but-critical note before that, though...there's still another poll ongoing! Specifically, 2024-09-11 21:14:22 +0000 UTC View Post
*Update! Edits made as of 9/23/2024, based on typo corrections provided by The Foreign Traveler. Thanks Traveler!

Alright, folks. If you haven't read the Poll Results post, the short version of my ramblings there is that I'd like to make some changes that make the polls less...lopsided. Since this Patreon first started, the polls have ended up always being utterly dominated by a single story. First, it was D...

Alright! As I mentioned in the poll results post (as well as on the last My Hero Automata Post), I need a little time to sort out My Hero Automata's future plot in better detail. As such, the first update of the month is going to a newcomer story instead of Automata. A story which you all got a <...
2024-09-03 01:39:01 +0000 UTC View Post...Oops? I meant to post this last night, actually. But, well, I got wrapped up in multiple projects with deadlines. As well as with getting the next story release ready. Anyway, I just ran the vote weighing calculation, so here's the polling results:

Whew! Last update of the month, as far as stories go, at least. I'll put the poll results up in a day or two. As you can see, I'm still running about four days behind. In this case, the simple truth is that it took that long to write the story. I had to do quite a lot of reading/research on Feluc...

So...obviously I lost a bit of ground again on getting this out. Mostly, that's still just follow-on effects from earlier this month. However, there is a slight additional problem. As such, I have an announcement to make. Before I do, let me be 100%, absolutely clear on an important deta...

Alright everyone! I said in the One Piece - Halfway Broken release post that I had a bit of a surprise for everyone ;-). That surprise is a new story concept! Now, don't worry, Eridium Dream...
2024-08-14 03:50:32 +0000 UTC View PostWhew. Sorry this is, like My Hero Automata, later than usual folks. It's really just a follow-on effect from the delay with Automata, honestly. I caught up slightly, but only by about a day. I'd hoped to make that two by getting this out yesterday, but I just didn't quite managed to get ...

Whew! Sorry this is coming so late, folks! I'd actually hoped to have it out yesterday, but didn't quite manage to squeeze the editing in. Late or not, it's at least here now!
As usual, this is the smaller of the two monthly updates for My Hero Automata, only around 6,000 words. It's also a...
2024-08-05 11:22:21 +0000 UTC View PostBefore anything else, just a quick notice...don't expect a release of My Hero Automata tomorrow. I'll get it out as soon as possible, but life events have kicked me in the rear all month and I've lost a few steps. Hopefully, it won't be more than a few days later than usual.
Alright! With t...

Whew! Sorry this is so late in the month guys, gals, and others. I've been struggling to get anything done after going to the doc for a follow up on a new medication. It was making me super fuzzy and foggy, so they claimed 'well, sometimes with this, it makes you LESS foggy if you take more' and ...

Whew. I'd originally intended to post this yesterday, but I had another round of dental work done yesterday that left me in quite a bit of pain. I ended up not getting a lot done as a result >_<. Regardless, it's here now. This set of chapters is just shy of 8k, bringing the total for the m...
2024-07-18 01:22:13 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! Now that the latest One Piece - Halfway Broken has been out for a few days, time to get the poll for next month up and running! Will Halfway Broken win again? Or will the fact that Harry Potter: Pandora's Box actually got an update last ...
2024-07-14 08:33:09 +0000 UTC View PostWhew! Sorry this is a bit later than usual folks...and also slightly smaller too. It's only about 13,600 words instead of the typical 15,000 I shoot for. The reason for both of those things is simple. Specifically, I just had fairly major oral surgery (4 teeth extracted, and a hopefully benign cy...

Alright! Sorry about the slight delay folks! But chapters 76 & 77 are here now, and the release is a little bit longer than the typical early month release of My Hero Automata. A solid 7.5k versus the usual 5-6k that most first-of-the-month updates are. That was, of course, part of the reason...
2024-07-03 00:17:07 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! So, short notice is short. Essentially, just wanted to let everyone know that the usual first-of-the-month My Hero Automata release won't be out until tomorrow instead of tonight. The writing is actually done, a solid 7.5k words too, so larger than normal f...
2024-07-02 01:04:57 +0000 UTC View Post
Whew! This took longer than I thought! Mostly, to be honest, that's because the content I had an outline for ended up being around 3,000 words short of my monthly target for this story. The part that I thought would take up a lot more word count ended up just...not...for reasons I'l...
2024-06-25 16:08:47 +0000 UTC View PostSorry this isn't Displaced Hero, folks :-p. As you should know by now, the last release of the month is the one most likely to drift a bit. In this case, I'm actually only just starting on Displaced Hero today, as a few doctors/dentist appointments over the last few days upended by sleep schedule...

Wohoo! Time for the hopefully-no-one-strangles-me reveal! I've made it fairly clear in the past that I'm not a fan of My Hero Academia's later content. That, in point of fact, I pretty much hate everything past the Eri/Overhaul arc. The Cultural Festival and Joint Training arcs are f...

I'm actually enough ahead of writing that I'm going to at least try to get a small update of Harry Potter: Pandora's box done in the next few days. But there'...
2024-06-11 00:15:18 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! Hit this release right on target! A solid 16,500 words of One Piece- Halfway Broken for you all, covering mostly the events of Drum Island (and a little travel/training time enroute to said). I almost made this an image post...right up until I realized the image would be a spoiler -_-. C...
2024-06-08 23:05:12 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! This time, there are two polls results to cover instead of just the one. First, the June Story Poll which technically wrapped up around a week ago. That poll is weighted, so here are the final results after doing the vote weighing:

Whew! Sorry this is a day later than usual, everyone! Technically, the writing was actually done yesterday, but I didn't have time to do a proper editing pass on it until today. Hence the day of delay. It's roughly 6,750 words, so about the typical size for the first update. And it includes an en...

Whew! The writing on this was done yesterday, but I only just got the editing done a few minutes ago. Still pretty close to the usual release time, and over 16,500 words. So I think I did fairly well :-). This time, we've got a little bit of action, mixed with more buildup of the options for ship...

Mwahahaha! I've overcome the late start to the month, and gotten this out at the usual time! Oh...wait, that's not evil. Err...ignore the evil laughter?

Anyway. Release time! This batch of chapters is slightly shy of the 10k I was shooting for, but only by li...
2024-05-15 22:36:50 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! As usual, since this month's story poll winner (Halfway Broken) has had its release, it's time to get the poll going for next month's! As usual, this poll will run until the 25th, and will determine which of the 'secondary' stories gets an update next month. I mean, given how it's domina...

Whew! Didn't quite manage to make it by the 8th, which would have been the usual release date for the poll story. But I got close, despite the late start to the month due to illness. Honestly, the writing was actually done, but I ran out of steam last night trying to edit it.
Anyway! These ...
