All conflicting opinions are objectively wrong and fake news.
But seriously, sil did a wonderful job <3
Hey, guys, you know what's pretty cool? When you inspire someone enough that they write or draw fan stuff of your work.
Speaking of, remember that story referenced in The Village Called Respite about how scared Abacus was when he first came to the village? Well, for your viewing pleasure, CGen wrote a little something for that.
Stop by and give it a read. CG worked hard on it.
A new Respite fic is inbound! A short little thing that I meant to have released for Valentine's Day but last month was a whore for reasons with lots of love, sweetness, and a show of how our favorite changelings do Hearts and Hooves Day. Or, rather, Sharers' Day, as they call it.
And, of course, it has some lovely cover art done by my good friend, Rossby Waves:
So, there's been a not-so-secret sidefic in the works for the Respite universe. A little something to bridge the gap and give a little bit of life to two of my favorite side characters who really didn't get much attention, other than a few letters and stolen pancakes.
Yes, I'm talking about Altocumulus Stratiformus Translucidus Lacunosus and Maple of the Enchanter hive.
So, for those of you who I don't chat with on a regular basis or frequent my various discord groups, you probably didn't see me bouncing around like an eager bunny who got his paws on a case full of Red Bull, a box of Pixie Sticks, and then went and found himself a pogo stick to bounce around on. With that in mind, enjoy a brief moment of reveling.
I did it.
So, after looking over my schedule, I have both Saturday and Sunday off next weekend. Given what a rarity that is, I figured I'd put it to good use!
That said, we have options. Either day works for me as far as doing a little QA or whatever session. Last time was fun, with the group we had, so I think the same format could work. Unless, for whatever reason, this one is vastly more populated. Then I have to figure out talking privileges and such. With that said, here are the options:
Just a bit of forewarning for everyone: after I post chapter 24, I will be taking a two week break from posting. This is mainly to give me a little time to rest up because I've been sick lately, as well as give me a chance to go back and correct a few the numerous typos people have been so kind to point out hold still, I need a clear shot at you ....
This break will also give me a chance to tighten up a few things I have planned, so yay for that.
I'm contemplating whether or not to do some sort of Q/A session with my followers and/or readers of specific stories. I'm more leaning toward my long-runners, but I'd be open to questions/comments/whatever on my oneshots as well. I figured I would float it in a blog first, just to see how people liked it.
Not for this week's chapter, turn off the damn klaxon. No, it's actually for a chapter I'd written a while ago—something I'd really been looking forward to sharing with you all ... kinda like this update.
I dunno what possessed me to do it, but I skipped over something that was pretty much the focus of the chapter. Laziness? A lack of focus? Either way, I botched it when I originally wrote it and glossed over something that I shouldn't have.
