You know how I said that I'd have a story updated here this week?

You know how windows likes to randomly interrupt whatever you're doing with 'totally necessary updates' in the middle of your work?

Yeah...

Good news, nothing was lost. Bad news... nothing was gained.

So... financial issues.

As many of you know, I have been receiving a 500 dollar check for rent every month from my parents. Problem is... they've been hit with finance troubles of their own, mostly due to their careers being downgraded for... reasons. The takeaway is that they will send me less money, which is reasonable, and that I need to go over my own finances, which is reasonable.

So... before the end of the month, I managed to publish two chapters over on AO3. The Purchase and another bit of Harry Potter and the Redheaded Alien Warrior.

And I am still working on pony and taking commissions...

Okay, week 2 update, I think I'm getting the hang of this.

Firstly, I'm gonna announce that chapter 9 of "fixing the balance" is finally out. Now, it was a pain in the flank to finish off, but I'm just glad to have some weight of my shoulders. I will start chapter 10 whenever I feel it's convenient to do so, probably some point over the next week, but for now, I'm gonna take a breather.

Howdy readers,

I have good news for Bon Hadescream fans! The completion of the current story arc is finally written. It just needs editing and proofreading before I'm ready to start posting chapters. I've been working hard to get all the remaining chapters pre-written, so that once I begin posting there will be no more pauses. Hopefully, Bon Hadescream will be completed very soon!

No new stuff yet, sadly. My English professor thought it okay to deviate from the schedule and tell my class last Tuesday that she was bumping up the date for our next essay's rough draft.

To that Thursday.

Needless to say, that threw off my groove. I'm working to finish that last Obamaverse chapter, and I've got the start of a Fear: Equestrian Mythos chapter/story that I'm trying to get done by Halloween.

Hey folks. Do you know what happens next week?

After months of work, I get to close the draft for Starforge. Because today? Today I was working on the epilogue. That’s right. The last chapter is over and done. The final battle, from start to finish (and I count start as the moment it engages, not the prelude) weighed in at 68,000 words. The draft right now is sitting at about 493,000 words.

I realize that my previous post wasn't very informative, so let me expand a bit.

I am not dead, slowly getting there, maybe, but not there yet.

A new band name has been added to the list on my userpage: "Warm Pendejo".

Below the cut, a stripped-down version of my Weekly Gaming Blog. TL;DR: I bought some games in the Mid-Year Sale on PSN, I haven't actually done any console gaming this week at all. Planning to change that this weekend, likely NOT Persona 5.

I finished Sunscarred, and got ready to wait for commissions. I mean, a bunch of people said they wanted to commission me, and I decided to lay out rules.

Aaaaaand

nothing.

Did I misread the situation...?

Anyway, I've been plugging away at some longer works. Hopefully they'll get updated soon. Pony or otherwise. It's really just wrapping up the final scene for a couple of them.

"Alright," Masterweaver said firmly. "I promised the fans we'd update Hc Svnt Equus Pinnis soon. Sometime this week. Now, you've had a fun time with the squids, but now it's time to get back to the ponies."

"Oh, alright." The muse turned to the cast, moving them around a bit. "This could go here, and she.... that's how she would act, right..."

Masterweaver nodded. "Good. Now keep working on that, I'll be back in a few minutes."

Yes, the list is back!

Weekly Reports have now been moved to my Tumblr. Because I do Tumblr now. It is going to be a much easier way of keeping everything managed. Having one central location for everything. Keeps me sane you know! Thanks for the understanding and here is the report:

So over this past week I've been doing some stuff over on AO3 which, yes, is going to get patreonize.

First of all, the next chapter of Light and Song finally came out, just in time for the RWBY V6 hype train. Yes, it's been a while, but now that I've gotten V1 of this volume gone through I can start working on more twists, turns, and master plans. There is a lot I could do with this concept. I have ideas.

So....

I have, um... been kind of busy.

Preparing a new project.

I did get another chapter of With Catlike Tread up though. And also a oneshot: What's in a laugh? Which has to deal with some aspects of last week's Zombieland Saga episode. You know the one. Or if you don't, well... seriously that anime is worth watching.

Okay so this is an experimental post for a potential weekly blog to make up for my lack of content for my stories, I mean seriously why does it take me so long to write new chapters.

Any ways to the post itself

Shadow and Bone is a short piece exploring the mindset of background monsters from RWBY. Maybe it'll get more chapters, maybe not. But it is the only non-loops thing I've been able to work on this week.

Well, this next week is the last week of the month. I will try to get something out on FiMfic, and other stuff as well...

I am just jampacked with things I need to do right now.

I tend to speed up production near the end of the month... because I'm stressing out over what to do in the beginning half.

Anyway, Harry Potter and the Red-Headed Alien Warrior has been updated, and everything is going hunky dory, yep.

I've been very quiet.

Because I've been working.

On something.

A webcomic, actually.

It will be out in the new year.

I'll let you know what it is when it happens.

BUT IN SILLIER NEWS! The Brunswick Blooper Reel is up, in case you're a RWBY fan recovering from "Alone In The Woods." And I'll be danged if I don't get at least one chapter of pony out before the year ends!

Okay, update number 3. Wow, a lots happened over the last week, so let's get this update started.

Firstly, I managed to get the remastered version of chapter 2 for 'fixing the balance' out before the end of last month as promised, and while the remastered chapter is still waiting for its own final edits from my proof-reader, 0_0. I doubt I'd be able to make as much progress with remastering without him, so I'm pretty grateful for his help.
