November Portrait Poll Winner: Cassiopeia Black

The first one is just ideal fit, the rest were quite decent rendition of how I imagined her, if at various ages/renditions.

Chapter 92 of Shrouded Destiny (SD) is out for Squires!

I wanted to rush straight into the confrontation with Aegon, but I realised I would skip a ton of things that deserve their own due. Anyway, the chapter is quite thick, nearly 10k words, let me know what you think.

As you know, Midjourney doesn't do scars or markings reliably.

Chapter 91 of Shrouded Destiny (SD) is out for Squires!

I'm finally feeling better this week. Anyway, did anyone say timeskip? Things be happening, yo. Let me know what you think of the chapter.

Chapter 41 of Convergence of Fates (CoF) is out for Squires!

We get a Diana PoV again. Let me know if you liked seeing it again it or you want me to do away with it entirely. Also, the plot thickens, so enjoy.

Chapter 90 of Shrouded Destiny (SD) is out for Squires!

Okay, this was wild. Chapter is thicc, and it felt cathartic to write, so I hope you all enjoy.

Gladiusx' extra image collection.

On no particular topic, these are images I generated for fun or for other polls/friends but never went in use. Enjoy!

October Portrait Poll Winner: Eddard Stark

Surprisingly, the cartoon mode managed to render an ice blade and I thought to myself... why not?
I'll post some fun extras I played around later today.

Chapter 89 of Shrouded Destiny (SD) is out for Squires!

Feels like someone is cursing me this week. Had hours-long blackout last night, and thus the delay. Anyway, chapter is here, and I will have to figure out to re-arrange my writing schedule to avoid such delays in the future.

Anyway, here's the chapter, a rather long one at that, though it ...

Chapter 40 of Convergence of Fates (CoF) is out for Squires!

My apologies for the delay again! The sickness I had last weekend grew worse, and it's finally getting better but my mind feels like it's sinking in a bog, so it was very hard to write. As an apology, I'll be releasing some extra images that I generated next week (of no particular character/topi...

Chapter 88 of Shrouded Destiny (SD) is out for Squires!

A more... moderate chapter than usual. Caught a nasty cold yesterday, so it was harder to focus on writing this weekend. The change of pace was somehow fun, though. Lemme know if you liked it.

No scars(at least not reliably)

Chapter 87 of Shrouded Destiny (SD) is out for Squires!

Oh look, another big chapter and people are dying again... <inserts a clever line I'm too tired to think of right now>. Chapter might be early but it might be a bit iffy and require some polish., my mind is half-drifting to irl issues that demand my attention again.

Gimme some feedb...

Chapter 86 of Shrouded Destiny (SD) is out for Squires!

Ch 85 Has been properly edited, touched up a lot since last week, and I'm finally happy with how the chapter looks now. Consider giving it a reread if you wish, especially since it's over 2k words thicker since its first rendition. This is another thick chapter, and I daresay rather eventful one...

September Portrait Poll Winner - Narcissa Malfoy from Convergence of Fates!

Probably not what you expected. You can count it as a minor spoiler, I suppose. He-he.

Chapter 85 of Shrouded Destiny (SD) is out for Squires!

Mostly unedited. Whoop... another chapter I'm not too happy at, though it's hard to pinpoint the parts that irk me on the fly. Drop any critique you have in the comments.

Chapter 38 of Convergence of Fates (CoF) is out!

A wild one. My bloodiest chapter to date, at least for CoF. This one is dedicated to my dog, Fluffy.

Chapter 84 of Shrouded Destiny (SD) is out for Squires!

A far humbler chapter, but still over my og word limit. For some reason, this one gave me plenty of trouble to write despite being smaller. Don't be shy with the critique.

Chapter 83 of Shrouded Destiny (SD) is out for Squires!

Another long chapter, another battle (cause we didn't have enough fighting as of yet). But this one was not one I wanted to skip, even if I used unreliable narrator to turn it into an absolute mess. So yeah... people die and yet another plot threat is finally finished.

Thick yet again chapter. Oh look, I just managed to murder the final vestiges of civility.

Chapter 81 of Shrouded Destiny (SD) is out for Squires!

Another overly long chapter... I could have probably written more and split it into two to avoid burnouts, but I didn't want to leave this one hanging. For those who guessed that Myr is on the table, they were right.

Chapter 36 of Convergence of Fates (CoF) is out for Squires!

Managed to finish without even falling into the allure of a nap and finished earlier than I expected. The chapter is suitably long, too. Error from putting up the Page tier chapter for all paid tiers fixed. I'm happy with how the chapter came out, but will probably go back and expand a little on ...

September Portrait Poll.

NOTE: the CoF chapter will be delayed with a few more hours than usual (until Friday noon at latest) . As an apology, I'll do more portraits (or redos like Fleur on previous poll winners - let me know if you have a preference in the comments below).

Chapter 80 of Shrouded Destiny (SD) is out for Squires!

A long chapter. Probably not what most you expected. It's a bit unedited (all of my beta-readers have been busy, and RL has been kicking my arse very effectively the last month). Shit happens. 79 has undertaken significant edits from the og release in the Val PoV, but I'm once again not satisfied...

Chapter 79 of Shrouded Destiny (SD) is out for Squires!

I'm not happy with this chapter. It gave me trouble, and I finally decided to face a topic that I avoided in the first PoV. Might go to rewrite it entirely later. Let me know what you think. A disclaimer, I'm not descending into endless angst or anything like that, just trying to wrap up things ...

Chapter 35 of Convergence of Fates (CoF) is out for Pages!

Brain is mush. Chapter is eventful and rather long. Things are beginning to ramp up. Not entirely happy with how it came out, might go back to redo certain things later.
