I've been speaking to some people on DMs, and it appears some of them have not been getting replies from me despite my answering their DMs.
It's likely an issue with Patreon, but be assured I am replying to them.
If you have not received a reply from me despite DMing me, try and start a new DM. See if that fixes the issue.

This is a result of a few things. Firstly, it is now officially winter in Alaska. Yay (sarcasm).
Normally I would only have to take care of my own needs, but this year, my father is going down to Florida to work at a branch of his job, and fix up what will beco...

2024-10-14 00:22:21 +0000 UTC View PostAs the title says, and as I had said in a previous poll, I suffer from an overactive imagination.
One of the cons of such is the desire to go over and do something with it, even though you already are doing a project.
So I am instituting self imposed controls on it, by forcing myself to follow "rules".

2024-10-10 01:19:54 +0000 UTC View PostIt has been ten days since the poll about what sort of universe the GodBound character would head to was made. It has landed solidly in Science Fiction.

2024-10-09 21:51:11 +0000 UTC View PostI will be adding side stories to the story for things that haven't been given the limelight and aren't directly related to the MC.
The rules for Side Stories is pretty simple. They aren't a part of the main story, thus they do not count for the Forge. No points for word count. That normally wouldn't encourage people to put much effort int...

So Shemla is now "Shifts with Breeze".
