Call me Gryph for short, if you like. In-case the avatar, the name, and the themes of my stories didn't make it apparent; big Gryphon fan here.

    What Comes Next?

    Whew! A half-million word novel is no joke folks... Especially when it isn't even your first extremely-long-form-got-away-from-me-Gryphons-rarely-do-anything-small escapade.

    They say no plan ever fully survives first contact with the real world, but to fail to plan is to plan to fail. Plans are clay to work with as the situation evolves.

    So here is mine, currently:

    Advocate: Cutting Room Floor Achievements

    Here, in no particularly organized fashion, are all the achievements (the vast majority by Generic Friendship) which sadly didn't make it into The Advocate for story/brevity/etc reasons.

    The Advocate: Progress Update

    Just to relieve anyone who still is keeping an eye out; I am working hard on The Advocate!

    I have been trying to get away from the practice of tossing out a few chapters, vanishing for a month, then repeat. So I am presently building up a backlog.

    Just a Quick Update

    For the interested: I'm still focused on getting The Advocate completed.

    I had planned to make some progress this week, and still might depending how the weekend falls out, but it is becoming clear it won't be as much progress as I'd hoped, if any.

    State of Stories

    Yes - I am still writing daily on RO, and hoping to finish this year.

    With that out of the way; It's been a busy few months. Lots of good projects at work, and lots of family issues, medical and more positive ( a couple killer DnD sessions, among other things).

    As a result, It's been radio silence for a bit.

The Advocate: Progress Update · 1:26am Jun 23rd, 2023

Just to relieve anyone who still is keeping an eye out; I am working hard on The Advocate!

I have been trying to get away from the practice of tossing out a few chapters, vanishing for a month, then repeat. So I am presently building up a backlog.

The good news is, that backlog is almost long enough that I'm ready to start releasing again, on a set schedule, right through to the end of the book!

The bad news is, it could be a few days, to two weeks, before I can begin the release cadence, depending on a few factors.

Hopefully that strikes you all as good news. And here, have a picture of my horse's baby sister from this year's foaling (sadly going to a different home, but close by):

The problem with doing a story like this with a backlog is that comments lose a lot of merit.

Comments will be fine. :rainbowwild:

I'd rather get some momentum up on my end, and have some padding so that if I have some inconsistent weeks down the road, we're not looking at another month or more gap to wait for chapters. I'd rather front-load the waiting a little more.

That picture is adorbs. thanks for keeping us in the loop.

I am glad to hear another chapter is on the way. I was getting worried! This is because I really, really look forward to more of The Advocate. I care about your story, I am strongly invested in it. Your art has touched me, and I value it.
