Not super happy wiht the last line, but enjoyed the rest of it. I'll think if there's a way to change it later.
I was so surprised by the comment that I sprayed water across the table before breaking into a coughing fit.
“You did that on purpose,” Kass grumbled as she leaned over and patted me on the ba...
2025-09-24 20:58:13 +0000 UTC View Post“I guess I better go study,” I muttered after gathering my thoughts.
“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Angelica asked. “You just received some shocking information.”
“That’s true… but what am I supposed to do about it? The one person in the world that could clarify just took off down the street like a criminal r...
I may or not post on Thursday. I'm changing internet providers and I have no idea how long I'll be without internet. Fingers crossed it'll be a fairly painless process.
When I pushed into the house I was surprised to find it empty. After kicking off my shoes, and shucking my pack, I wandered through the modest li...
This chapter took a huge left turn, I had different plans at the start, and I may need to rework the start to make it flow better. I'll look at it later.
It took several hours and several hundred points to finally put all the surface fires out. The M17 was bad enough, it took several attempts with multiple types ...
So: Two notes about this chapter. First, I'm going to remove the one sentence in the first book about Sylvia being a vampire. After discussing my plans with a couple of my friends I have a much better idea for her.
Second, this chapter was based on an idea I had for book one, which I swear that I wrote at some point, but can'...
As soon as the first pods ripped open, releasing a combination of Model Threes, Fours and Fives, I immediately ordered the bears to open fire.
This initial wave wasn’t that bad, probably less than a hundred Antithesis in total across the chamber, but considering how many pods were scattered about if we didn’t keep on top of things I co...
2025-09-22 15:58:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
Over the last couple weeks I've had a higher number of people decide to leave my patreon. That's fine, you guys don't owe me anything, but since they didn't fill out the exit survey I have no idea if it was due to personal reasons, they disliked the content I'm currently putting out, or something else entirely.
That's whe...
Here's this week's list, enjoy!
2025-09-19 19:49:55 +0000 UTC View PostI'm changing it up! This will be chapter 5, showing how distracted Tali is, and I'll do some minor reworks and have the old chapter 5 go as chapter 6. This way Kass's decision won't appear be so abrupt, it'll be after Talia flails around for awhile.
It'll require a little rework, but not much.
The rest of...
I opened up on the nearest Thirteen, blowing huge chunks out of the nearest body. The eyes and tentacles on that section spasmed, but it had little effect on the other two cores. They reared back, lifted the crippled body and swung it like a wrecking ball.
Something clicked in my mind, and as the limb came down I simply stepped forward, be...
2025-09-19 15:47:27 +0000 UTC View PostThis chapter needs a minor rework - It was originally chapter 5 but it seemed to abrupt, so I added another chapter to show Talia's state of mind. Most of it is good, just need to change a couple paragraphs so it starts from later in the day instead of right after lunch.
The rest of lunch passed in a blur....
2025-09-18 19:32:01 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I arrived at the site of the hive I had the driver do a couple laps around the area before finally landing. The impact site looked less like a crater, and more like an infected wound in the world. I could see the barest hints of a thick chitinous shell around the edge hole, and the inside looked wet. Alive.
By the time I touche...
2025-09-18 15:22:33 +0000 UTC View PostOnce we crossed the river we didn’t have far to go, we just needed to follow the edge of the lake around to the citadel. We’d only gone a couple hundred feet, when I noticed something.
“Do you smell smoke?” I asked.
“I do more than smell it, I see it!” Camille exclaimed, pointing to the citadel. There was thick black smok...
2025-09-17 20:35:35 +0000 UTC View Post“No more snacks! You know the rules,” a gruff voice snapped as we approached the cafeteria. “I just gave you sausages, don’t tell me you’ve eaten them all already.”
Kass snorted. “That spider of yours sure is predictable, always thinking with his stomach.”
“Not always. He also likes to prod anything he’s unfamilia...
2025-09-17 16:28:31 +0000 UTC View PostTime for a quick side quest?
“I don’t get it,” Eddie declared. “Why are the rocks like that?”
“Those are Hoodoos,” Jane explained. “They’re a naturally occurring formation that can be found in this area.”
“But why do they have that funny piece of rock balanced on top?” Issi as...
2025-09-16 20:39:02 +0000 UTC View PostOnce I’d finished talking to the doctor Olivia and I swiftly moved towards the exit. Although Olivia seemed to struggle at first, she gained strength with every strep. By the time we were half way to the exit she was no longer leaning on me, and relying on my strength to move forward, and by the time we arrived at the exit she was actually pul...
2025-09-16 16:09:49 +0000 UTC View PostGeorge slowly crawled along the staircase’s ceiling, staring down at the draconid struggling in my arms, growling the entire time.
I’m sure if anyone else had been carrying the creature he would have already pounced on them, caring more about getting to his sworn enemy than dealing with the consequences. Even now I could see his ...
2025-09-15 21:14:11 +0000 UTC View Post“They’re breathtaking,” Jane gasped when we arrived at the badlands.
I glanced around the dry, lifeless area around us, then back at Jane. “What is? All I see is a bunch of rocks.”
“They’re not just a bunch of rocks,” Jane huffed. “They’re a geological marvel. They’re a result of layer upon layer of soft, sedim...
I remembered this week! Enjoy!
2025-09-12 20:20:31 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
I’m coming up with the exact rule changes for duelling dungeons book 2, and I’d like a little feedback.
If you read the first story, a lot of these should make some amount of sense (and if not, you absolutely should, I think it’s my best story).
Rule 1: Each dungeon is limited to fielding 4 (5?) subbosses in a ma...
2025-09-12 20:14:11 +0000 UTC View PostSo you might have noticed there was no Sov Stone this week. I love the story, and know exactly where it's going, but I feel like I've stalled a bit. More than anything, Selena's passive attitude in the last half of the chapters bugs me. I may do a minor rewrite before continuing, it'll help me reboot my brain. We'll see how I feel ne...
2025-09-12 20:11:06 +0000 UTC View Post“Are you sure he can’t come with us?” Issi asked for what must have been the fifth time this morning.
“He’s designed to monitor the feeds, and report important information to me, not escort you guys around,” I replied, as I poked at the bowl of soggy cereal in front of me.
The little girl stood up on her chair...
2025-09-12 15:51:23 +0000 UTC View Post“I can’t believe they don’t even provide showers, I’m going to stink all the way home,” Olivia moaned.
“It could be worse,” Amelia chirped, “I heard they used to have self-defense midday, so everyone had to go back to their classes afterwards.”
“That’s cruel and unusual punishment,” I said, as I ran my ...
“What the heck is this?” Chelsea yelled, bouncing off the couch and pointing at the display. “Are they really allowed to do that? Have an enrage mechanic for the entire dungeon?”
The girl was so worked out that her messy main of yellow-orange hair was puffed up and her reptilian tail was wagging a mile a minute.
She and...
2025-09-11 16:01:44 +0000 UTC View PostI was going to do the badlands chapter, but this came out instead... let me know what you think.
Although we probably could have made the trip to the badlands in a couple hours, it would have resulted in the Stratocarrier arriving after dark. Knowing the kids, they would have wanted to immediately see the sights,...
So... Womby read through most of DD book one yesterday, and I forgot how much I loved the world. I did see 2-3 places where I want to make a couple touch-ups, but still the favorite of my fictions. Although this might not seem somewhat unrelated, it'll become VERY relevent quickly. Hope you enjoy.
The halls of th...
Once we left Yellowstone it didn’t take long for the rugged, rocky terrain to give way to rolling hills and, shortly after that, flat plains.
After traveling over the mountains for so long the plains were extremely disappointing. Although we could see for miles in every direction, the only thing to look at were the abandoned towns ...
2025-09-09 16:37:30 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
I just wanted to create a quick post about my plans for this week. As many of you know I just finished Unexpected Guests, the TBoB x DD crossover. I'd love to jump directly into writing Duelling Dungeons Book 2, but the truth is it's been a while since I wrote it and I haven't made time to re-read it and make the notes I'd n...
2025-09-08 21:46:48 +0000 UTC View PostIt didn’t take me long to completely lose track of the time. Mr. Flores and his assistants weren’t content to just push us to the breaking point while running, they pushed us beyond.
We were forced through a brutal, and never ending set of exercises. They started with a series of sprints, followed by an obstacle course, then more...
2025-09-08 20:55:27 +0000 UTC View Post“What is it?” Issi asked once everyone else had returned to the ship after their jaunt through the forest.
“What do you mean? It’s an abstract painting of the falls,” Alan proclaimed, gesturing to the painting propped up against the back of the couch. “Can’t you tell?”
The little girl tilted her as far to the side as ...
