Save Scumming - Chapter Sixty-Three

Bit of gore at the end of this one. Like... not that much, but still. Icky!

Uh... ran out of art to show off. Sadge. Need to write fewer chapters OR hire more artists, lol!

Thanks for all the comments, btw! It's super encouraging to see that many people speak up! <3

Save will be uploaded to RR starting on the 1st. 10-ish chapters on d...

Got some SlothBeing WIPS!

It's not lewd, but like... damn, is it close~

Anyway, welcome to goblin town! There's goblins up in here! And a heap of trouble too.

So... I've got some options:

Chapter Sixty-Four

The Bastion came around on auto-pilot, rear hangar doors open so and moving in sideways so that a whipping wind was shoved into our faces even as the ship started to drop out of the sky.

“Myalis, anything?” I shouted over the wind.

The ship’s scanner suit has picked up motion ahead of you. While it’s not enou...

Stray Cat Strut Crossover Contest! Last Days!

Hi...

Today is one of my monthly, forced days off, but I think I'm allowed to post this... right? Yeah!

Anyway!

There's... 4 days left to the contest! If you're insane, that's plenty of time to join in and burn words like a madperson!

Rules:

Hit 10,000 words, get $10 USD! We're running a fanfic contest focused on Stray Cat Strut crossovers. Any universe is fair ...

Save Scumming - Chapter Sixty

Yoooo, sixty chapters! Kinda hype!

Gonna start the next dungeon run in a chapter or so! That'll be fun as well. Also, introducing a new character... we'll see how the chemistry works out.

I don't like 'planning' characters too much. Sometimes I want them to work and then they end up clashing too hard. Still, I hope this next one will be fun!

Oh, ...

I guess a thank-you for all the ideas! It's been a lot of fun, and getting to see reader speculation has been suuuper encouraging! You know, we wrote 100,000 words of Save Scumming this month? And the month's not ever over!

I'm exhausted. IT's... late and a half. So bedtime!
Might have to revisit this one in the morning. Bet it's full of mistakes. But the main thrust of it is there!

I hired three new artists to do more art because... one is too slow.

Uh... so if you're ever wondering where all that patreon money goes... that's where? Oh, and buying silly trinkets.

Also, I might buy a sword like the MC's... let's say... if Save Scumming hits 5K followers in one month, I'll buy a cool sword? Like, a real one. Deal?

Yup, Deal....

I uh... miscounted the days of the week. The previous week had 6 workdays, somehow. Now, this IS a capitalist shithole, so that’s possible, but it wasn’t intended. Made some adjustments.

It took an hour before we finally left, and I took none of the blame for that.

When we stepped out of the tavern it was to discover the sun was already skimming along the top of the dunes, its bottom half swallowed by the sea of sand. It was nice, the orange sky reflected off the surface and turned the sand all glittery and shiny.

Ah, but it wasn’t the best thing either.

The new Patreon interface is making it so tricky to get the chapter title right. Annoying!
