Just finished a promise for blood, a fantasy approach to the French Revolution is always an interesting read and its a period of history not often put into fantasy worlds because of some irrational fear in the fantasy writing sphere of guns killing the feel of the fantastical elements. Brian McClellan puts paid to this fallacy and as a writer he is a deft hand at scene transition and concise characterisation, all the while creating a believable and deep world in the midst of a turbulent time

You finish a long ass arc fully planning on taking a break and then find yourself chomping at the bit to launch headlong into the next one.

Fuck everything.

Anyway, finished the interlude, only slightly more than 3k words this time around. Off to the editors it goes before being uploaded...

Huh. Well that's new, not sure how I feel about that. I know it supposed to hook people up with stories similar to the ones they're reading but the ones I see are hilariously diverse for being stories with the exact same tags as Bad Mondays, oh well.

"I'm sorry what?" the man blinked blearily, staring at the pale light of his laptop in the dark of the room, th eyoutube playlist blaring through its speakers.

"I said, hurry up and finish! Your typing tickles." the laptop said. The man yawned and rubbed his eyes, smacking his mouth a few times.

"Yeah yeah, sure... just give me a minute." he said

Sorry for being late with the upload this week. Just about done and off to the editors it goes before upload.

Just been alot of bullshit I need to deal with this month.

Apart from Bad Mondays I do have other works and hobbies. Not counting games and reading books in real life (my embarassingly large collection of Warhammer novella for example) I run a forum game involving nine people that is quite intensive and been involved in several other forum games as a drop-in-drop-out co-GM and long time player for the better part of a year and a half (they're pretty fucking in depth RPs, which is hilarious when you consider how bare bones they were at the beginning).

May or may not make next fortnight's update, don't be surprised if its late. See you guys then.

[23/10/2014 23:13:46] Handyman: I could just be an ass and write all the most voted for fics
[23/10/2014 23:14:11] JBL: then you'd be the most well-liked ass there ever was

Might as well, would be a nice break from the Crown of Winter arc once it finishes.

Just hit 100 followers, which as of time of writing, means the one-shot competition has closed and its time to tally the marks. But before that, congrats to salmanlalmas for being the one hundredth follower! Good to have you with us.

Now, the results are, this hour of 10:36PM on the 23rd October 2014, (fuck you, I feel like being pretentious), the suggestions with this most upvotes are in descending order of the least to the most:

Chapter will be out Monday, the chapter after that is nearly done but is significantly longer and almost certainly won't be out for another two weeks after that. JBL is on his own for now as Terminal is off being a soldier and won't be around until Christmas, so editing is going to be a rough time for him.

Will be out on Monday. As in next Monday, not today, don't get your hopes up.

Meanwhile, here's a sneakpeak backstage at Bad Mondays production

[00:01:28] JBL: heh
[00:01:48] JBL: "how are your drawing skills, Handy''
[00:02:25] Handyman: "In this chapter, Handy draws a stick figure with boobs"*
[00:02:25] Handyman: "Handyman, why did you write this?"
[00:02:25] Handyman: "Because I've lost control of my life"
[00:02:39] JBL: hahahahaha

Staring at page. I seem to have forgotten how to write my characters. Its four in the morning. The Red King dances upon star light. Rereading older chapters, the hell was I thinking? The eye watches. Might take longer than expected to sort out the deer arc. Battery on my laptop has almost run out. There is no road.

Pay no attention to the guy writing ramblings at four in the morning.

*Plans something involving Tirek and thinks that he is very clever for working in a pre-FIM MLP villain

-Watch epilogue of latest season and promptly freak out and rewrite plans

*Plans something involving sea ponies and meremares, the differences thereof, and thinks he's very clever

-Rainbow Rocks introduces immortal, hippocampi sirens that feed on hatred and have to rewrite plans around this new canon in order to fit them in. Even if EQG is non-canon as far as BM is concerned

Dear devoted readers.

Today Handyman's brain died.

You see Handyman is a dirty dirty internet criminal. For he uses adblock to block the ads.

He has done this for so long now, he has actually forgotten what it was like to have annoying flashing ads and pop ups bother him wherever he went.

And lo the Handyman was a happy.

Ok.

Between my job, searching for a new job remotely relevant to my field of study and general flamboyant dickery in my daily life, I think its fair to say I have been a little substandard in my delivery of BM chapters. Which is a pity, because I was really hoping to have at least ten more chapters done before Christmas but that is looking increasingly unlikely given my current rate of production.

Something moved underneath the covers. Pale sunlight poured through the gaps of the curtains, dust motes floating silently on the air in the dark bedroom, caught in the beams of light that simply insisted on shining directly on his eyes. He pulled the covers over his head.

The knock came again.

Good news is? I can legit get away with calling forelegs arms.

Also next two chapters are done, just waiting on my two editors to have a once over. So expect them Monday, provided I don't get impatient.

Bad news?

Don't expect happy things.

Will be releasing the next chapter this evening.
I am also re-releasing the old April Fool's day chapter and have it titled as such.
Will begin work on the interlude and the next chapter presently, but don't expect miracles, I've been really slipping with my updates.
My apologies for the wait and thank you for everything.

I am so close to finishing this damn tournament arc, but hit a speed bump when JBL pointed out something unforgiveably stupid in the last scene that pretty much would ruin the entire story. So I had to delete the final quarter of the chapter in order to rewrite it. The good news is I also have the next two chapters partially written as well, so I haven't been entirely unproductive.
