Just As Planned - Babylonia 25 (Part 1)

A/N: Splitting this one up a bit, because it was getting unwieldy. There's some more Interlude to come later on! Probably a peek into how Cauldron is doing since they've been left alone...

Glaistig Uaine

She approached the building, taking in the details at a leisurely pace. How simple. I expected grander things of that prince's followers... ah, I see. The bronze-and-silver statues flanking the door finally caught her eye, and...

Just As Planned (Babylonia 24)

A/N: I apologize for the delay on this - I hadn't built up a real buffer yet, and then this week came along and absolutely kicked my ass all the way through. Every day I expected to have time to write, something came along to wreck it - doctor's appointments, overtime at work, the works. Hopefully this next week should go a bit smoother, and I'll be able to get a bigger buffer going. For now, enjoy the chapter.

Experimental Early Access

So you may have noticed the chapter of Just As Planned that was just posted. This is an experiment – I'm trying out writing with a buffer, to see how it affects my motivation and ability to deliver content.

Essentially, nothing will change from a public-facing point-of-view, except that I'll be picking a day of the week (likely Tuesday or Wednesday), on which a chapter of Just As Planned will be posted publically. On that same day, however, an additional chapter will be posted for pat...

Fujimaru Ritsuka


She sunk into the chair with a sigh, laying her body across the table and closing her eyes to enjoy a bit more rest. It wasn't exactly comfortable, but she was not a morning person even if nobody else in Uruk agreed with her.


"Michael, we're here again. Sorry for intruding," Mash said with a light bow to the innkeeper. She wasn't watching, but she knew her kouhai and the bow was inevitable.


"It's fin...

Sales Tax & Benefits

It's been a while since I've posted here; it's something I intend to work on in the future but at the same time the impression I get from most of you wonderful, generous people is that you'd prefer I spend my time writing content instead of these (hopefully interesting) rambles!

Anyway, I wanted to do two things: Firstly, make sure that everyone following me knows that Patreon will be legally required to charge sales tax on pledges starting July 1st, so you should all consider that in r...

Curiosities and Mechanics

Someone asked me recently about the Faunus Curiosity and when there might be an opportunity to make progress on it, since its mostly sat dormant since the beginning of the quest. So, I thought I'd talk a bit about Curiosities and how they came to exist as a mechanic.

They weren't planned, strictly speaking. I knew going in to the quest that I wanted some form of development system because part of what I personally enjoy about quests is seeing the progress of the protagonist as they beco...

Arbiter & The Story Arc That Never Was

So, for the first behind-the-scenes glimpse, I thought I'd talk about Arbiter and its origins in Devourer of Worlds.

So, with that in...

Benefit Ideas

So, it may be obvious to you if you're reading this, but this Patreon idea is relatively new to me. I've looked at how some other authors run theirs, but I'm curious...anyone reading this that would or is considering pledging, what kinds of rewards would you want to see?

There are a number of options, of course, but I'm not terribly keen on paywalling content. Maybe, if I had a story on a weekly schedule, I could see an early-access deal, but I wasn't planning on writing story content e...
