    Merry Christmas, all!

    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

    Nothing this year, sorry

    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

    More burned out than I thought

    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

    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.

    Christmas Updates!

    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)

Small Sharing the Night 'Omake' · 11:32am Sep 8th, 2014

Wikipedia says:
Omake (御負け?, usually written おまけ) means extra in Japanese. Its primary meaning is general and widespread. It is used as an anime and manga fandom term to mean "extra or bonus".[1] In the USA, the term is most often used in a narrow sense by anime fans to describe special features on DVD releases: deleted scenes, interviews with the actors, "the making of" documentary clips, outtakes, amusing bloopers, and so forth.

So, SilentBelle, the author of Scion of Chaos and its sequel(s), had the audacity to call out all the readers of his prose-only ice bucket challenge to do a similar thing with their own characters.

So I did.

It's just shy of 1,000 words and can be found in the comments of SilentBelle's ice bucket challenge vignette. (Warning: It's unproofread and a bit silly.)

Is it intended that the link at the bottom point to SilentBelle's story?

Yes, it's in the comments there. I guess I could link directly to the comment, if that would help.

That was beautiful.

I concur. Perfect set up and delivery.

It isn't silly!:) It is great... :twilightsmile:

Omake? Those are always fun.

Back when I read webcomics, Megatokyo always did that every few chapters. It's always fun seeing the characters you know in a setting outside of the main plot.

The cold never bothered her anyway~:twilightblush:

You should do more little shorts like this.

You should probably copy-paste that into an actual chapter under your stories somewhere (either attached to Sharing the Night or as a separate story in the same universe). It was good enough.
