Rage Against The Dark Ch 8

Good morning, afternoon, or evening y'all! Here is new chapter!

You know, originally this was going to have more shenanigans and be even more lighthearted and stuff. But then a conversation between the characters happened and it kinda got away from the initial plan.

That said, I do th...

Not much to say on this one peeps!

To my immense surprise, with a combined total of 216 votes, Rage Against The Dark won the poll! Officially braking He Who Fights Demons' winning streak! Which came in at second place with 121 votes.

It's About Saving Yourself Ch 32

Good afternoon folks!

The google algorithm is probably going to think I suddenly seek spiritual enlightenment after the research I've been doing.

You'll see what I mean in a bit.

Glad to be back! Going forward at full tilt! Relatively rested and ready to go! WHOO!

As u...

Side Story Poll

Now I know what you're thinking.

Did Santo forget until midway through the week to put out the poll for which Side Story will get an update?

Yes. Yes I did.

I only pretend at competence at the best of times.

Work on chapter 32 of Saving Yourself is going pretty good! Chapt...

Wanted to share something I think is neat.

So, I told y'all a while back that I started running a Dark Heresy game, yeh?

Well, something I did that tickled my 'tism is coming up with specialty shotgun shells for use in-game. With different mechanics and whatnot. Well, my players were having trouble putting it together on their head...

Just saying 'Hi.'

So uhh...hi.

Been a few weeks. Blugh.

I took a break from the job I like, so I could deal with an uptick on the job I don't like. And take care of some chores. And man, it's been rough, I'll tell you hwat.

But hey! Week after next I shall begin continuation of updates!

I h...

Good evening folks!

Heyo. Remember way back when, when I said that when things stabilized I'd use the money y'all gave me to make the stories better?

It finally happened!

Here is the cover art for It's About Saving Yourself.

Kaiju Slaying Omake: Rei Mysterio

So I know I said I was gonna take this month off. And I did! Not taking money for the month of July. And honestly yeah, it was needed.

Dog Tax!

Thanks to Shorter than joe Mama for giving me the idea.

Behold, my pooch.

Fun fact, Apex's personality is based on my dog's.

This pic is from one time we got caught by rain. She took a while to forgive me when I didn't let her rub eau de wet dog all over the place.

An Anouncement

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty fuckin' tired. Work has been picking up steadily, and it's only going to get heavier as the year goes on. I don't have much mental bandwidth at the moment, but I have to write this today, of all days.

June the 16th is not an important day to most people, in fact, I...

Rage Against The Dark Ch 7

Good afternoon y'all! And happy father's day.

I could probably do a few more editing passes on this one. But it's storming outside and I'm perpetually afraid that I'll lose power and internet. So better to do it now, cause I don't wanna leave y'all high and dry.

Can't be breaking my s...

Side Story Poll

Sorry for taking so long. Just. Bleeegh.

I swear, every time we manage to almost get caught up at work, some people look at that and go 'so we can load you down with a bunch more jobs, right?'

Good evening, sorry for the late post.

It seems like I say that a lot...and that's because I do. But it remains true nonetheless.
