No post this week, due in some combination of parts to
> last week's big chapter
> holiday week / weekend
> lack of actual holiday celebration
> FIMFic's ongoing text spacing bug wrecking shit
> The new City of Heroes patch.

Among other things.

Keep on keeping on, folks!

Celebrating 100 chapters for Spike of All Trades / Spikefic, and also my own impending birthday! Been good having you all along this whole time, and special thanks to the regular commentary crew for all their insight, to Carcino for his regular read-overs, and to Norm for his editing expertise.

Seems there was a bit of a FIMF issue again, and today's chapter didn't go out to most people's tracking bookmarks or other notifications. I'll make sure to leave a temporary author's note at the top of next week's chapter for those who might have missed this one.

TL;DR-- Updates resume in 2-6 weeks, Questions go here, Qs get A'd next week at time of posting.

For those who might have missed it, the significantly larger-than-usual Spikefic Chapter 50 is up and live. With that, we're through the EOA1!

Welcome back aboard the good ship Whatever-This-Is, folks! Finale has aired, a new fic's on the shelf, and I decided to finally move from Pony Jeff Bridges (bless his horsey heart) to an actual painting of myself as my avatar. Changes all around!

TL;DR Please read the bold question below and comment answers on this post.

Few chapters remain! One for each remaining week of April, if we're counting the quadruple-sized Chapter 50 as just 'one' chapter, anyways. And then we'll be taking a break before I return with the second major story arc: [SPOILER TITLE REDACTED].

...Come on, you didn't think I'd be that easy eh?

Well, there's my initial dump of content: I figured 10 chapters over the course of the first week of the fic would make a good introductory pace to get enough out there for people to sink their teeth into. Now that we've made it that far, I can slow my roll a little.

And answers questioned? Nah, we're not doing that shtick today.

Hello everybody! Welcome to the first of what will likely be several Spikefic FAQs.

Today's chapter will be the last Spike of All Trades upload for 2021.
I hope everybody has joyous assorted holidays (cheaper by the pound!) and a very happy new year!
See you in the next one. We've got a long long road ahead of us...

TL;DR -- ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE, IN THE COMMENTS

Well, as previously promised I figured I'll do up a little blog post as a repository for questions about Spike of All Trades, its background, and where things might be going from here. We'll start with some basic structural stuff I want to get out there in advance, FAQ'd or not.

Hahahaha guess who forgot he was going to spend the entire weekend at Con on the Cob until it was already long past chapter posting time?

:disgaea:

So yeah, no SOAT for this previous week. My apologies for not announcing it in advance. :V
