[MFR] Chapter 60 - Gravitas
Note :Forgot to post the rules for Cuprum Duelists earlier. I'll do it tomorrow.Really like the new schedule. Knowing I get a break tomorrow helped because today has been pretty awful overall. Though, on the good side of today, book 9 is doing really well on amazon ! Arrived all the way up to rank #1804 so far and breached the top 2k, which is amazing !Chapter 60Starborn Mountains, Starfire ValleyRuins of Myrtran"Well this place is about ...
[MFR] Chapter 59 - Communications
Note : Chapter 60 has been written and added to the queue ! It's a chonker, at 2.8k words, but I decided against breaking it up because it's been a while and I don't want to mess up the pacing. It also includes a card game, whose rules I will upload today/tomorrow.I...may also have to rename that chapter 61 and make another chapter 60, because I think I skipped a few steps. In my defence, I was distracted and wrote something I had in ...
Patreon Schedule
For existing patrons, do not be alarmed if this didn't show up in your notifications. That's normal, it's just a rehash of what you already know, for any newcomers.Going forward, as an experiment and to stabilize my admittedly erratic posting schedule, chapters will be posted on Patreon at 18h CET on :(For some reason patreon doesn't show it half the time but this section has been crossed out) Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sa...
[TFW] Book 9 Review Copies & Book Release
I'm supposed to do this like, a week before release, but I COMPLETELY freaking forgot !Okay, so, for those of you who weren't present during the last book launch, my publisher sends me a link for early review copies. Effectively, you guys can click on the link to get book 9 in a digital format of your choice, in exchange you leave a honest review on the book on amazon. That's it.The link however, is limited and 'first come, first ...
Chapter 58 - Dressing Down
Note : Chapter 59 has been written and added to the queue !Chapter 58Starborn Mountains, Starfire ValleySettlement of Astralis"What the fuck are you doing?!?" Snarled out Kalia, after making sure the Hero was out of earshot. "Are you fucking insane?""I...I'm sorry, I just...I just snapped, alright?""Snapped? You started yelling at someone whose benevolence we depend on for survival, who is a bona fide hero, honored...
Chapter 57 - Meeting Crasher
Note : Chapter 58 has been written and added to the queue !Well, the system is already working, I was able to effectively take today off for personal stuff without having to scramble around for more chapters. Also I'll need to do a pinned chapter with the patreon schedule for new patrons coming in.Anyway, I'll probably pivot back to The Fallen World once my burst of inspiration on Manaforged Robotics is done, especially as we're soon ...
[Important] Patreon Schedule Poll
Alright, here are the schedules I came up with. The one at the top is my preferred one. Why ? Because it uses every day where I don't have a major, recurring engagement, which means that those days are the ones where I most likely will have the time to write a chapter if one isn't ready.The only problem I have with it is that I don't know if it'll work with keeping up my streaks and I'm afraid of working up a backlog for patre...
Chapter 56 - She Who Controls The Spice...
Notes :A poll will go up shortly after this chapter about the schedule, keep your eyes out for that.Blame the part with the TO-DO list on Drasoini. They're the ones who planted the idea in my mind on discord. Sometimes I wonder if my server is an elaborate psyops. First the 'ship girls' suggestion that ended up with Subtlety in The Fallen World, Sapphiria's height debate, and now this.I'm also having to deal with the construct...
Chapter 55 - Concrete Castle
Notes :Apologies for the lack of chapter yesterday. There's days where I simply do not have the time to write even if I wanted to, and I don't always have the ability to write an extra chapter another day to cover for it. Yet I didn't want to break the streak.It may be time for me to institute some kind of patreon schedule. I've been avoiding it because my writing has been extremely heavily streak/burst based, but it's also......
Chapter 54 - Spicy
Note :Sorry for the late chapter, hadn't finished it in time. If you guys have any spice name suggestions, don't hesitate to make them ! I had a fair bit of a laugh making my own, and several of them are easter eggs.Chapter 54Starborn Mountains, Mount NebulaCrash Site"This'll do." Said Sapphiria as she retracted shoulder-mounted the machineguns, contemplating the target she'd just blasted to pieces.It was, basically, just ...
Chapter 53 - Technological Puzzle
Notes :Not much to say. Probably going to switch back to The Fallen World after a few chapters. Patreon numbers aren't doing well and my publisher doesn't seem very happy that book 10 isn't moving faster along.Chapter 53Starborn Mountains, Starfire ValleySettlement of AstralisRamina fidgeted anxiously as everyone gazed at her.She'd delayed. Deflected. Thrown herself into her work. She'd been trying to avoid being too obvious a...
[MFR] Chapter 52 - Armor Off
Notes :Heya, sorry for the delay. I did a ping on discord warning about it but couldn't do a patreon post. I spent the whole day moving around and some transportation issues meant I wasn't able to get home as early as I had orginally wanted.And yes, the chapter title is because it's the only thing I could remember of note from it when I sat down to set it up for upload. You'll see for yourselves.Chapter 52Starborn Mountains, Mount...
Chapter 51 - Full Force Contact
Notes : Chapter 52 has been written and added to the queue !I loved this fight. Just had a bit of a problem, having to delve into the whole mess that was the debate around 'hydrostatic shock' and all the things to do with bullets. This is why I try to keep things vague.Chapter 51Starborn Mountains, Starfire ValleyWilderness"...Of course. Let's find a good spot and we can take a break." Said Paul.Sapphiria wasn't sure if th...
Chapter 50 - Hunting Trip
Note :Patreon upated their UI again for creators. It's, once again, even worse now. Yay for enshittification.In other news, I actually had a lot of fun writing this chapter. It was neat, and I liked the ending. I hope you'll enjoy it as well !Chapter 50Starborn Mountains, Starfire ValleyWilderness"Do you know where we are?" Asked Sapphiria, as she checked her own mapping software. According to it, they'd been meandering in the...
Chapter 49 - Unacceptable Paradigm
Note :Apologies for the late upload, and the lack of one yesterday. I had some harrowing personal stuff, and today I simply forgot to set it up thanks to a small pile of problems with my groceries.This might be the end of the streak, it might not. We shall see. I honestly hesitated to not post this chapter today to build up a new streak, but decided against it in the end, though I'm worried about pushing myself too much.Chapter 49Starborn Mou...
[TFW & MFR] Project SERENE
Notes :Heya. Sorry for no chapter today, I had an appointment and I haven't been in the headspace to finish chapter 49 because of it. So here, I hope you'll enjoy this lore file I wrote instead. As usual, everything here is subject to change.This is tagged for The Fallen World and Manaforged Robotics because this project took place in both universes almost entirely identically.Following the success of ITER-5 'Curie', the first com...
[MFR] Chapter 48 - Talking Shop
Note :Apologies for the late chapter, I got a problem with my uber order and got massively distracted with the mess.Also, loved the response to the first chapter of The Starlight Trader ! I'm happy I nailed it !Chapter 48Starborn Mountains, Mount NebulaMining Hub"So, I have to ask, what's a sonic fence anyway?" Said Ramina as she hefted a box of parts. Given her build, she was deceptively strong. More augments, maybe? Not that Sap...
[TST] Chapter 1 - Business As Usual
[REDACTED]Note :Heya ! Here is the first chapter of my new pass at The Starlight Trader. Note that ALL the information and lore regarding the MC has been remade since my previous attempt, that kind of collapsed due to the scale at which I was operating. This is more at a Rogue Trader level (which I refer to in a tongue and cheek way in the chapter).I got side tracked from writing the next chapter of Manaforged Robotics into making this, and had a...
Chapter 47 - Into The Depths
Note :Okay, I was planning to have that discussion about the security measures, but I got sidetracked. Next chapter !...Provided I don't get distracted again.Chapter 47Starborn Mountains, Starfire ValleyMining HubThe return trip was odd, to say the least. Sapphiria wasn't used to having squishies with her into the tunnels, and she almost just sprinted out of reflex, stopping at the last second when Ramina yelped as she vanished into camo....
[MFR] Chapter 46 - Monsters
Note :Wew, that was completed at the very last minute. Cut the end off a bit, but the chapter was already getting a tad long. Don't worry, you'll get Sapphiria thinking on what they discussed next chapter.Chapter 46Starborn Mountains, Starfire ValleyLogging SiteSapphiria burst out of the undergrowth, a couple of nervous 'soldiers' in tow.When she'd arrived at the tunnel entrance, she'd found the people manning the outpost ...
[TFW] Chapter 374 - Royal Matters
Note :Probably gonna switch some focus over to Manaforged Robotics for a bit, as I'm almost out of backlog there. If I can manage to write more. I'm recovering, thankfully, but it's not gonna happen in a day.Chapter 374Plains of Reclaiming, Duchy of Asaria.City of Asaria, Capital of the Asarian Kingdom.Elker Umbrar, third of his name, duke of the city of Asaria, regent of the great plains, shield-master of the bulwark against the wast...
[MFR] Chapter 45 - Survey
Chapter 45Starborn Mountains, Starfire ValleyStarfire PassClick click clik clik, reverse.The Hand watched as the soulless worked to expand the fortifications, absent mindedly rolling the coin across their knuckles.Things had been...quiet. They had expected a response. Any kind of response, truly. But so far, all was normal.It seemed their enemies had more pressing issues. For now, at least.Bringing the soulless to task had been easy. The tools fr...
[TFW] Chapter 373 - Raise The Banners
Note : Chapter 45 of Manaforged Robotics has been written and added to the queue.Hey guys. I'm really sorry about the radio silence and drought of content, especially for The Fallen World.Things have been going badly lately. Some of it was due to the construction and the entire mess related to it, but I just...completely failed to regain my footing afterwards, and things have been going sideways ever since.I'm going to try to get things b...
[MFR] Chapter 44 - Cool Rocks
Chapter 44Starborn Mountains, Starfire ValleyCrash Site"Well. This'll do nicely." Said Sapphiria as she hefted the steel ingot, still warm to the touch. "It should be able to handle all standard alloys, right?""As well as most basic metals." Cia gazed at the large smelter. "I would like to log an anomaly.""Shoot.""Overall temperature of the chamber has not increased."Sapphiria froze, and checked...
[MFR] Chapter 43 - Massilia
Note :Some people apparently had trouble differentiating between the stories despite the tags (which patreon is constantly crap with), so I will try to have the acronym for the stories in brackets in the title (because the full name would be too long and make the titles gigantic). I make NO PROMISES on how consistent I'll be with this but I'll try my best.Also for those of you not on discord, I did a quick poll about the later half of thi...
Chapter 372 - Beach Episode
Note : Chapter 44 of Manaforged Robotics has been written and added to the queue !This was fun to write. Trying to avoid and yet embrace them. I hope you guys will enjoy it !Also, results for the contest I wrote the fashionbot special are in, and I didn't even get a single vote. Not gonna lie, that was pretty ego bruising. I don't think I'll participate in one of those again.Anyway, I hope you enjoy the mandatorry Beach Episode !Chapt...
Chapter 42 - Strategic Overview, FUBAR
Note :Adding the map again so you don't have to go to the post where the update version was put. I'll probably do the same for RR (provided I remember).After this chapter, it's 372 for The Fallen World (yes, the much talked about Beach Episode) in the queue, and then chapter 43.Yesterday was absolutely awful for professional reasons, but it seems to be solved, at least for now.Chapter 42Starborn Mountains, Starfire ValleySettlement of...
Chapter 41 - It Always Starts With Dinner
Note : Chapter 43 and Chapter 372 of The Fallen World have been written and added to the queue !The Beach Episode. It is done.Chapter 41Starborn Mountains, Starfire ValleySettlement of Astralis"This is amazing! So all of your...batteries, was it, can do this?" Asked Kalia as the demonstration finished, holding out her hands towards the 'heater'."In theory, yes, but these ones have been modified so it can be done safely and eas...
Manaforged Robotics - Updated Map
Note : Chapters 41 and 42 of Manaforged Robotics have been written and added to the queue !Heya, here's an updated map for Manaforged Robotics ! Note that it is NOT the same as the one originally uploaded on RR (that has been similarly updated now however), including the location of the crash site as well as the tunnel entrance and trail leading to Astralis to avoid confusion.Apologies for the lack of patreon uploads lately, I'm finally w...
The Fashionbot - Mother's Day Special
Note : For context, this Special was written for the father's and mother's day Immersive Ink discord server contest. The prompt I chose was : How my dad’s DIY project went wrong. I switched it to 'mom' for reasons that will immediately become obvious.There's also a bunch of weird stuff going around because for some reason the contest is anonymized but at the same time you can write for your story which...is weird. It's n...
