Happy New Year everyone! I hope you enjoyed your holidays! Mine were a mixed bag, which is pretty typical. But more was good than bad, so I'll take it ;-).
Now, let's get on with the first release of the year! I only just finished the editing pass on this, since I was gone pretty much all of last night for a New Y...
2024-01-02 02:53:36 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings everyone! I hope you all had a good Christmas :-). Or, at the very least, that you weren't compelled to murder any annoying relatives! Always good to set that as the low baseline standard...
Anyway, the Poll for which Poll Stories get updated in January wrapped up at midnight last night. To absolutely no shock...

Merry Christmas a few hours early, everyone! I hope everyone is safe and having a wornderful time. (Or at least a not-terrible time. Remember, murdering your most annoying relatives isn't worth it. Probably...)
I managed to get this done early this morning, but as I've been busy with family stuff all day, I only just ma...

Whohoo! Time for a holiday bonus! Since this is a bonus update, it's not particularly large, only about 3,600 words. But hey, bonus content is bonus content and it actually pushes the Eridium Dreams story just far enough forward that everyone can see how massively off the rails it is from c...

Surprise! I can draw. Sort of. Mostly. More on that in a minute.
First, release time! This is the second monthly release for My Hero Automata, which takes a step back from the violence of the last release and covers the lead-up to Final Exams for the First Years. No matter what else is going on, UA is still a scho...
2023-12-15 23:13:13 +0000 UTC View PostYikes! I just realized I forgot to put this up! It usually goes up the day after the previous poll-story release. I could pretend I was waiting until I could get the extra release I'm trying to sneak in for Mass Effect: Eridium Dreams out. But...that would be a lie. The reality is that I've simply been juggl...

Time for another release of Displaced Hero! And this one is a big one, at least by my standards. I really wanted to reach a specific point in the story, so I pushed and wrote close to 12,000 words! In this set of chapters, we finally get introduced to a few characters that will be around for more than a chapter or two. None o...

Whew, made it through another month! Which means it's time for a new set of updates! As always, we're starting the month off with the first of two monthly releases for My Hero Automata. I won't say much here, since anything I could say would be spoilery. That said, I'll be putting a comment on the post with some deta...
2023-12-01 23:51:59 +0000 UTC View PostSorry folks. I meant to put this up yesterday, but got derailed by various things -_-. Anyway, there have been two polls running this month instead of just the usual one, so I'll take them one at a time.
December Story Poll
This, of course, is the usual poll to determine which of the secondary sto...

Alright! Time for the final release of this month! Shepard, Oriana and Co wrap up the Leviathan DLC, with a few changes that will be important (and were most of the reason I did the DLC at all). A couple of additional notes this time:
1) I'm sure some of you have wondered why I keep updating this, when it's honestly pro...

Alright! Time for the next My Hero Automata release!
A couple of notes about this one. First, there's a reason that part of it is basically a time skip of sorts, and that comes back to the adjustments that needed to be made for UA being a University instead of a High School. Ever wonder why the Final Exam...
2023-11-16 00:27:27 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! This is the normal monthly poll! On that note, please make sure you check out the other ongoing poll I posted earlier as well. With that small reminder out of the way, onto the regular polling event! As always, the winner of...
2023-11-09 23:34:56 +0000 UTC View PostAs I mentioned in the most recent release of Displace Hero, I'm considering bringing Mei Hatsume into the story. She would solve several problems by preventing me from needing to create a major OC. I'm going to have to do that event...

Important: There is a reason chapter 15 is labeled 'tentative.' More details are below, but the TLDR version is that I want peoples opinions on if I should include the character involved. There will be an All Patrons poll on the topic up tomorro...

And we're back! Wasn't sure I was going to get this one edited in time for release today, but luckily I was able to squeeze some time in to do so with. Given how well the release schedule has been working, I'm going to do my best to maintain it. Which means the next story update will be the poll winner for this month. Said wi...
2023-11-02 00:05:42 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I just got a notice an hour or so ago that all my works AND my profile on AO3 have been hidden by their policy team. This, I might add, DESPITE the fact that I'd already complied with their demand to remove all mentions of Patreon from my works on AO3 (which was a nonsense demand in the first place, given how many of thei...

Alright! Final update this month. A few days late because of the short poll I ran for it. A poll which had a result that wasn't exactly unexpected...but I wanted to give people the option anyway ;-). And at least one person DID vote for Ashley to win their little bet, so not entirely one-sided.
Anyway, welcome to Chapte...
2023-10-25 20:10:35 +0000 UTC View Post...So, um...I'm an idiot? Or at least I sort of forgot something *sweatdrops.* I intended to let people vote on who one the little game Ashely and Orianna were playing in Mass Effect: Final Error. But I forgot about it until I started writing last night. I'm not one to back out of saying that sort of thing, though, so the pol...

Time for the next release of the month! Specially, of course, the second half of the monthly My Hero Automata content. Internships start and we get a tiny peek at what the villains are up to. I admit that this month was a bit action-lite. But I figured that was okay, given that the previous Tournament Arc was action-...
2023-10-15 23:39:39 +0000 UTC View PostIt's that time again! With yesterday's release for CODHSTG (Maybe I should just call it Displaced Hero or something?), that means I can also put the poll for November up without risk of spoilers! For those new (or as a reminder for those that aren't), this poll will determined which of the 'secondary' stories gets up...

Alright! Time for the next release of the month...and this one is considerably larger than originally intended ;-). As in, it's the better part of 9,000 words. Just shy of 8,700 in point of fact. Hopefully, that comes as a nice surprise! This story honestly still has the strongest hold on my muse, so I'm not too shoc...
2023-10-08 21:09:14 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! This is mostly for the new people, since the plan is pretty much the same as it has been for the last few months. That said, hello new people! Thanks for joining us! This is just a basic outline of how the month will go. It's pretty typical for any given month, with the only major variable being which story ...

Alright! Time for the first release of October! This one is slightly smaller than the last couple of My Hero Automata releases (though it's still 4,800+ words), mostly because these two chapters are a transition. We're moving out of the Tournament Arc and into the Internships Arc, but won't get to the actual internships start...
2023-10-01 18:33:19 +0000 UTC View PostSo, the poll actually finished up at midnight on the 25th, I've just been a bit busy with various projects. Regardless, it is done, though the results are pretty obvious.

*Edit* Somehow the chapter counting in the master file got screwed up. Effectively, this is actually Chapters 40-42. I'll be changing the master file to be fixed, but I'm not going to fix it here, since that would just cause confusion I think. It doesn't actually make any difference to the story, just the chapter numb...
2023-09-24 21:34:14 +0000 UTC View PostThis is just a quick note to inform everyone that this month's release of Mass Effect: Final Error will likely be a day or two 'late.' In so much as I've even set specific release dates. I've got about 3.5k words of it written, but that leaves a bit more to write, plus an editing pass. If I was keeping perfectly to t...

Alright! Time for another release. Specifically, right around another 6,500 words of My Hero Automata! While I'm happy with the size, I will warn you that it might be slightly slowish, depending on your tolerance for action. Essentially, this gets us through the rest of the Heroics Tournament. I did my best to keep t...

Alright! Time for the next release of this month! No lemony goodness this time, I'm afraid. I did say up front that such isn't the primary focus of the story, even if a couple of them have occurred. They'll be more frequent than in, say, My Hero Automata. But nowhere near as frequent as in Mass Effect: Final Error, w...

Time for the first update of September! We're starting off this month fairly strong, with a solid 6k words of My Hero Automata. Like last month, I'm splitting the total content release of this story into two batches. This one and another mid-month. Both of them will be covering the third day of the Heroics Tournament! That sa...
