Chapter 100! Well, technically 102, if you include the interludes. Over 1.4 million words I think. 😱
Thanks for the support!
Lot of things happening in this chapter, many that require me to draw on knowledge of previous Parts. If you see something that doesn't quite make sense, please point it out. Once this Patreon is more ...
2021-02-10 03:01:45 +0000 UTC View PostEvery month Patreon charges everyone's chosen payment methods. This doesn't always seem to work for everyone though. This month I lost almost 10% of my patrons! 😱
This may have to do with Patreon and new taxes? I don't imagine anyone will be paying taxes on my tiers, because it's all just 'Early Access' stuff, but you never know. Either...

A friend of mine took a stab at drawing Antoinette, 2-hour work. I think she did quite well!
Two sections in this chapter. I wasn't sure which to put first and which to put second, because they both happen at the same time. Let me know if you'd have prefer Part A to come after Part B, or if it was fine where it was. They're drastically different in tone, and I wasn't sure which to end a chapter on.
Pulling in story threads that I've set up so long ago is delicious, like candy. Delicious, scheming, manipulative candy.
2021-01-20 02:32:10 +0000 UTC View PostHad a surprising amount of fun with the first half of this chapter. It's kind of 'normal', so it kind of surprised me that it was so fun to write.
Edit: proofreader is busy for the next 3/4 chapters, so hopefully I've done a good enough job.
2021-01-07 17:57:50 +0000 UTC View PostThings are suggested in this chapter. I can't guarantee they'll go a certain way, but they might. 😁
2020-12-30 14:35:22 +0000 UTC View PostAh, finally. Been aching to write this scene.
One of my readers said they were able to predict which characters I write about in a chapter. True/False?
And I'm back! Time to get chapters written, plot lines tied up, more AIL stories written, and the vote for the next series up for T2+ patrons.
I actually finished this chapter a few days ago, but my proofreader had real life to deal with. Next chapter should be finished on the 14th, and proofreader will get it back to me within 1-4 days of...
2020-12-07 17:44:57 +0000 UTC View PostI'm taking 4 days off to mental reset. You'll only be charged for 2 MLV chapters this month, instead of the usual 3.
Writing every day can be pretty tiring! I like writing, love it, but sometimes I tell my brain to go and it just doesn't go. A few days off will let me rest the creative thinking muscles.
2020-11-27 18:03:48 +0000 UTC View PostThese chapters that explore the aftermath and fallout of the events of the book are interesting to write. I enjoy taking more time with them than most authors. Let me know if that bothers you readers, or if it leaves you itching to see the story get going again.
2020-11-21 00:11:01 +0000 UTC View PostThings happen! Decidedly less depressing things.
2020-11-10 00:19:18 +0000 UTC View PostI swear there are good times ahead! I'm not lying to you! 😅
2020-10-30 01:24:27 +0000 UTC View PostJust an update so people know what's going on.
An Inhuman Love 5 is at 11.5k words, and AIL 6 is at 7.2k. I write these in my spare time, while MLV I write fulltime, so AIL gets done pretty randomly, depending on how much writing power I have left in my brain throughout the week.
MLV continues as planned. The more I sit down and fles...
2020-10-22 19:51:53 +0000 UTC View PostOk, I kind of regret doing what I did, because of how emotionally draining it's made writing all the following chapters. I write very 'method actor', and channeling all this misery is hard and taxing as hell.
Better times in the future, I promise!
No proofreader this chapter, due to a scheduling conflict. IRL is a pain. Le...
2020-10-19 01:49:21 +0000 UTC View PostGot to put a bit of a gore warning on this chapter. I may have gone a little overboard?
SO MUCH STUFF happening. The story's exploded with paths, and now I need to work on tying some of them off.

A patron wanted to commission an art piece from https://twitter.com/Evulart , and contacted me to be the middleman.
Enjoy! It's interesting to see how an artist gives faces to my characters. It'll never be quite how I envisioned, but I think the art is great nonetheless. 2020-10-03 12:36:11 +0000 UTC View Post
My most technically complicated chapter ever, of anything ever, in my twenty years of writing. Eeesh, this was a hard write.

2020-09-20 13:30:24 +0000 UTC View PostMore things happen! Ish.
If anyone sees any logic holes in circumstances I'm building, feel free to point them out. While most probably have an explanation I haven't given, you never know if I missed something. It's building into a complicated scenario.
Is anyone else not seeing the cover on the .epub files? 6.10 and 6.11 are n...
2020-09-09 18:51:55 +0000 UTC View PostIt's building to something. 🤔
Something happens in this chapter, but don't worry, it doesn't violate the result of Vote #36.

I had fun writing about Gangrel more than usual this chapter. Their unique 'protean' ability can do some really wicked things.
I have an editor! Well, not an editor, a proofreader, a fan who's doing a once-over of my chapters before I release them, to catch a few typos/grammar issues I've undoubtedly missed. I'm sure a ...
2020-08-16 16:26:37 +0000 UTC View PostI've been writing some sections of the story out of order, letting my emotions guide me a little more than my schedule. So the next chapter will be a few days late. It might even be a couple days later on top of that, as I test out an editor who'll give the story a once-over for typos and such, before I release it. But don't worry, I've been wri...
2020-08-14 17:11:38 +0000 UTC View PostFor those of you whose normal currency is Euros (€) or British Pounds (£), Patreon has updated their site to support pledges in that currency. You can switch over, and I'll pay the 2.5% conversion fee, instead of you. Here's a copy paste from the announcement Patreon sent me:

2020-08-04 22:20:36 +0000 UTC View PostI don't know how much you patrons keep track of things going on outside of this specific Patreon, but it's come to my attention that Patreon is having some problems, big ones. Patreon has been enforcing some very harsh censorship, banning creators with views and opinions they don't agree with.
More problematically, they've been banning cre...
2020-07-31 14:47:09 +0000 UTC View PostFinally, things happen!
2020-07-24 22:11:55 +0000 UTC View PostBack to work! Since I aim for a chapter every 10 days normally, you'll only have to pay for 2 chapters this month.
I'm almost 6k words into AIL The Demon Queen, and I should put the C vote the next AIL chapter soon.
MINOR SPOILER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This chapter sets the stage. Unfortunately, due to ...
2020-07-12 21:10:25 +0000 UTC View PostI took a couple days off this week, and will again in 7 weeks, and then again in 7 weeks, and then again in 7 weeks. I don't plan for any more breaks after that, but you never know. But that's why I charge per chapter release, not monthly.
Planning continues for the two series that will follow My Little Ventrue, to eventually be voted on b...
2020-07-03 17:36:32 +0000 UTC View PostLot of important stuff in this chapter, but not much payoff. It's one of the problems with serial releases, having releases where it's buildup for the next chapter or beyond. But! But hopefully you'll get excited about the different things I'm setting up. :)
