Merry Christmas, all! · 7:05am Dec 25th, 2023

My track record with Christmas releases is no longer perfect, but I do try! Only one 5k chapter of Sharing the Nation this year, though I'm hoping to have 5k more out before the new year. To make up for it, though, I've also brought out the Harry Potter crossover that's been languishing in Patreon limbo while I decide what to do with it. I

Nothing this year, sorry · 1:31am Dec 25th, 2021

Man, this has been… a year. Shortly after my last blog post, I had some (non-covid) medical issues that somewhat took over my life for a while, and while that's all in the past now, I'm only back where I was beforehand—completely unproductive. I was determined to get back into things at NaNoWriMo, but work steamrolled those plans and I just haven't been able to find the words to write something for the usual Christmas chapter. Honestly, I couldn't even read through Sharing the Nation in

More burned out than I thought · 10:47pm Mar 24th, 2021

Jeeze, it's been four months since I decided not to force myself to generate updates for the sake of Patreon and gave myself the freedom to write whatever I wanted… but I haven't really written anything. I've done a thousand words or so here and there to play around with other fandoms, but nothing of significance.

Shocking, I know.

Tis the season for status updates. Not as much the other kind of updates as I would like, though · 7:58am Dec 24th, 2020

It wouldn't be Christmas if I hadn't been completely incommunicado for at least a month or two beforehand, right?

Unfortunately, I don't have chapters of Sharing the Nation to post for Christmas this year. I do have some Equal Opportunity Ascension chapters that only Patreon has seen, and I'll post those, I guess, but it's clear this… isn't working.

"This" mostly being Patreon, or at least my approach to it.

Christmas Updates! · 9:30am Dec 25th, 2019

Merry Christmas!

As I've done every year since I started writing, I have updates here for you on Christmas day.

( It might look like there's a missing one, but the chapter for Sharing the Night that year was taken down and reposted)

Sharing the Nation · 2:51pm Jun 30th, 2019

Progress

The first 10k words of Sharing the Nation have been written. For those not paying attention, this is the sequel to Sharing the Night. This is a cause for celebration!

Technically, 500 words of that are a small extra scene for Sharing the Night so I can ping people with the update when the sequel goes live, but I should be able to add at least 500 more words today anyway.

I don't make enough positive blog posts, so here's a friend's kickstarter · 12:16am Dec 5th, 2018

As the title says, this post doesn’t contain any whining, cringe-worthy self-deprecation (except this line, I suppose) or apologies. Weird, right? But hey, it’s Christmas and my patreon just received an incredible 50% boost from a single user (just for the month), so I figured, hell, my friend is doing this thing that I have no part in and is a completely different genre than my stories, so why not share the love a little?

Obligatory Birthday Update · 3:11am Jul 11th, 2016


Another year another... complete lack of chapters for way too many months. :fluttercry:

In my defense, I kind of... don't have a house just this moment :facehoof:

That's what happens when people [who are not me, mind] sell their house before they're actually ready to move. Schedules get all messed up, and people end up sleeping in hotels weeks on end with only a phone for company :twilightoops:

I've been getting a lot of reading done, though, of course, as always.
