Maniacal laugh. Maniacal laugh.
See. The good thing about writing in advance is that when you actually get to that advance, it's already halfway done. Plus angst is such a beautiful thing so I speed through it. But bro, chapter nine is up and besides a few parts (really just one, if you know then you read it) need to be edited severely.
Now I will start the revision process and once that is co...
2025-05-06 03:01:48 +0000 UTC View PostWoo! April was great and I'm really hoping early May will be a win as well. I'll go more into it and the plans for what will happen next down below. I'd say I have some amazing tangent to go on but I don't. Sadly. No tangents in my mind.
Nothing to report.
Ruben's story on 13Stories came out last month ... I believe. I'm pretty sure.
Nour: Alright so the only part that really got any attention. I ...
2025-05-01 13:59:02 +0000 UTC View PostSome quick repeated things to remember.
Beta bruh. Variables, smaller details, additional scenes, etc. will all be added in the final revision because I have to work from front to back when right now, I am writing from back to front. Shh, don't question. Nour has pushed me to work this way.
I am fired up in writing so I have not at all gone through and did error checks. I will be doing that as soon as my brain calls for a break. So, if you beat me then know that y...
2025-04-24 14:11:23 +0000 UTC View PostAngstpril continues it seems lol. A joy to write and even gave me a bit of food for thought for when I get to the episode for the rewrite.
2025-04-16 13:59:06 +0000 UTC View PostNo, I will not be doing these all the time. Only when I need to say stuff is out and blah blah blah.
Ruben's 13League story is now available. Instead of Nour, I decided to do Sin. I'm sorry, but Nour is about to get all of this other shit plus those three bonus chapters and between not wanting to sound like a broken record as well as just running into the fact that I'll probably be sick of them, I think Sin is much wiser for a Nour mental break.

2025-04-14 13:59:06 +0000 UTC View PostHolding back your whimpers is no longer a task you can successfully do. There is far too much pain. You wish to go numb. To have this torment lead your body into simply checking out and no longer possessing the ability to care or understand what is happening. You relish such freedom even as your body reassures you that it will never grant you such peace.

2025-04-14 13:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostAgain, my apologies for March. It was a lot. Imagine welcoming in a new family member at the beginning of the month and then saying goodbye to one at the end, like naw. No thanks. We can calm that down.
Thank you to all of you who are showing me patience for that. I don't have much to say or rant about so let's get straight to it.
The later part of the month, I was working on this because it wasn't too taxing on my mind. Good news is that I fi...
2025-04-01 13:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostI rewrote this like five times, I really do not like giving updates like this cos they feel like excuses. So, I'll just say that this isn't me saying I'm not still working or doing thing as I am. But I also apologize for March being as slow as it is, there was a family death that we're all dealing with and things I really hoped would be completed came to a stand still. Ruben, I'm talking about Ruben.
Just an update for you guys though. I'll repeat it in the forecast along with what did ...
2025-03-21 01:52:43 +0000 UTC View PostA uhhhhh thank you, for the permission to share both of these comms. Enjoyed working on these far too much.

2025-03-15 13:59:06 +0000 UTC View PostMy bad, guys. I had some things to do that kept me from writing and publishing this month's forecast. I'll make it quick.
Nothing new to report here.
Nour's Chapter 7 is out. I can't say when I'll update it since it still has beta parts in it that I need to take a second look at. They'll probably get that and Ch8 worked on this month because of course.
Nothing new but I will be giving this a b...
2025-03-04 14:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostNour's Chapter 7 has been updated. May still have some bugs that I haven't found out just yet. This is only for First Mates.
Sydero's Romance Story has been updated (and should have zero bugs). This can be found in the 13Stories link. Ruben is next, can't really say the percentage cos these stories grow as I write. I'll start staring down Nour after that...

"Nour, you know I can do no such thing." You smirk, "especially with how stubborn you are."
They smile, but their eyes seem distant. "For the longest time, I have wanted nothing more than to hold you close. To touch and kiss and caress every inch of you until all those years without you feel like nothing more but a nightmare."
"That has changed?"

2025-02-21 14:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostA little update. I'm writing three stories at once. No, I'm not alright in the head. Yes, I know I put myself in these positions. No, I don't regret this yet, I'm excited for both Ruben and Syd's stories so it works. I'm trying to also get Nour's Ch7 out before the week ends. May have a few beta holes or I'll just be okay with where it stands until I do the final revisions for them. Nour's short story will be the last one I do as well as maybe the shortest, cos "oh my, I'm working on them rig...
2025-02-17 14:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostThis is strictly for the guys as I have a few ideas for them. Syd and Nour won the other two and due to Syd having an immense lead, I'm just going to do her. The people have spoken.
Guy wise: Ruben, Zarik, and Chris won. I have no problem with doing something for any of them. I'm going to shoo Zarik off though due to being the only one in that list that doesn't have that much content so I may accidentally get into spoiler territory or something I write may change when I do focus on him....

I was going to just do two polls masculine/feminine because I don't have that many NB LI's (yes I know, booooo Tee, boooo) but then you have characters such as Sin and Minute who fit in neither of those categories and was like man I'll just do a third.

2025-01-31 14:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostI'm saying 6.2 because as some of you know, there was a lot of - BETA WARNINGS - scattered all throughout the chapter. They're gone now and so Chapter 6 is completely done for those wishing to go play it in its entirety.
As for all the other tiers, you will get this update in the normal patreon link on Monday. By then I should have been able to go through and fix all the obvious bugs.
I am now focusing all attention on Chapter 7 so the rest of this month will be sneak peeks.
2025-01-25 14:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate: Sooo I was sick for the past week which doesn't mean anything in terms of Nour's updates, obviously from the title of this post. But it does mean that my "I'm going to focus on Superstition for this week" didn't happen. I'll figure out how I'll remedy that in the forecast. But I say all of this to say the rest of the month is focused solely on Nour. I'm hoping to get an update for Ch6 out, finishing the chapter parts that were left undone and putting a nice little dent into Ch7.
I have finished it! Alright! So being the official link, let me act ... officially.
All that Comes Before is a collection of shorts following the more intricate life happenings of the player-controlled character, Roe, as well as that of their companions. The stories told here are minuscule but no less unimportant and allow you, the reader, to customize your character in more depth.
Some, not all, of the choices you make here, can be pulled over into the main...

You won't hear me say it again. looks back at 2024 Yea, naw. I don't really have much to say about it besides it gave birth to some really good ideas that got me psyched about some stories.

This fear is gained during the funeral of Roe's mother. I won't spoil exactly what gives Roe this fear but with this fear, Roe will find themselves extremely bothered by all things concerning death. Think about a Roe who has a fear of blood and now insert death instead.
This one, will cause Roe to react significantly different to d...

From here I have three more stories left with one hopefully being done soon. Kinda gotta finish it before starting on the other two anyway.
PS. I still hate this font size change.
2024-12-04 17:40:36 +0000 UTC View PostYou know ever since June or July, I keep forgetting we're in 2024 and have steadily been typing 2025 out. I'm going to make sure that once it's the new year, I add 2024 to everything to show my unwillingness to move on to whatever hellscape 2025 will be.
