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.

Due to some personal concerns I am going to be posting no chapter this week. Sorry to break the pace again so soon after the last one, and not to mention so soon after the particular last chapter, but things literally came up this morning and it's just been a lot.

God I hope so. ;_;

But in all seriousness, it's 2021! Time to ring this thing off with a bang and return Spikefic to operation a week earlier than originally planned. This also kicks off a slight change in presentation and format for the foreseeable future.

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

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-- 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?

So, after multiple requests across the comment section, Discord, other websites, and my own retrospective brain?

I cropped the cover art for Spikefic to be a little less... implications? It's a touch less unsettling now, if slightly more cramped.

This is probably a lateral move for most people and a positive move for everyone else.

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.
