Self Insert Book 3 ch4

Just in time for Christmas! Merry Nagamas! Enjoy the new chapter, and I promise there's no evil cliffhanger this time lol. 

Preview/Update 108

Whoops! Totally forgot about this yesterday. My bad. Hey, look! Another blue-haired girl for SI!Ben to mess with! Yay!

Good news! Chapter four of the Self Insert is done and with Rice for editing! Blame him for me forgetting to post an update yesterday; he required rewrites. But, tis done! Now, if I can just get this Blazing Trinity chapter done, I’ll call 2020 less of a bag of suck whe...

A Matter of Pride ch3

I said 'before Christmas', so here it is! Once more, MinuteRice hasn't touched this. I fact, I don't even think he's reading this story lol. But yes, I hope you all continue to enjoy as I continue to explore the more humorous side of the 40k universe, even just as my warm-up piece. 

You know, there's a lot of room for humour in the Warhammer universes, and they just... don't. The Cai...

Preview/Update 107

Hola all! Hope we’re all doing well. Have a look at the start of the next SI chapter!

So, SI!Dark is done and has been with Rice for a few days now. Of course, he’s been binging Netflix, so we’ll see if he can get it done on time... The canon self insert has kinda taken on a mind of its own lately. This chapter is not going the way I planned, but I’m content to ride it o...

Preview/Update 106

Morning once again, all! Have a look at the new Dark chapter.

So, I’ve actually run into a bit of a roadblock with the canon SI story. I’m gonna focus on Dark for a while until I figure out how to get past it. I think I tried to skip too much, so I’m gonna go back and put a new scene at the start of the chapter, see if that makes it flow a little better. Dark progresses well. I almo...

Fire Emblem 30th Anniversary Unboxing

It's not vlog, but it's something! For those of you who are new, I sometimes like to do these little unboxing videos. For funzies. Hope y'all enjoy!

Preview/Update 105

Hola, everyone! Hope your November was good! Have a look at possibly one of my favorite jokes from Blazing Trinity so far. Our little girl is growing up...

So, Blazing Trinity just isn’t happening this month. I’m usually quite reluctant to say this, but I think I’m gonna scrap the half of the chapter I’ve already written and start again. Except for that joke. That joke is staying...

Preview/Update 104

Morning, all! Hope we’re all well. Something a little different this time: a look at the original novel I’ve started writing! More on that later, though.

Okay, writing update: Blazing Trinity may be late, may not be. If it is late, it won’t be by much. I’ve got some polls planned for next month’s Dark chapter, I just have to wait until I get home to put them up (can’t do it fr...

Preview/Update 103

Morning, all! Have a gander at the next SI!Dark chapter.

So, Dark is done and with Rice for editing. I’m finishing up the final planning stages of Blazing Trinity’s finale now (WE BEAT THE LYN CAMPAIGN CURSE! WOO!). Aaaaaaand I haven’t actually needed warming up lately, so I haven’t been working on A Matter of Pride. I intend to sit down and do a little with it tomorrow,...

Preview/Update 102

Hola, all! How we doing? Take a squiz at the next Dark chapter, in which I struggle to make Gangrel likeable.

In case you were wondering, I always read Gangrel with DBZ: Abridged Freiza’s voice now thanks to MinuteRice. He always read Gangrel’s lines in that voice way back in the Invisible Ties Audio Drama days, and it just stuck in my head. Also, MinuteRice’s Abridged Freiza is sp...

Holy crap, it's on time this month! Le gasp! I hope y'all enjoy

Self Insert Book 3 ch3

Here it is, right on time! 

So, I actually didn't feel particularly strongly about this chapter, but Rice disagrees and assures me that it's solid. Considering that he also comes from a reader's perspective, too, as he started out as a reader himself, I'm willing to take his word on it. 

I don't actually think that I have too much more to say about this one. Except that I ...

Preview/Update 101

Blargh. Tired. Didn’t forget yesterday. Just tired. SI preview above.

Chapter’s almost done. Just need to put some finishing touches on it, then yeet it off to Minute Rice. I’ll do up some polls for Dark later tonight. Next month begins the finale of Blazing Trinity’s first arc. Fun rogue trader adventures are fun. All the good stuff!

I’m also entering the Black Libraryâ€...

Preview/Update 100

Wahoo! One-freaking-hundred preview/update posts! I cannot believe we finally hit triple digits. I may have to start dating them instead of numbering them. Here’s a look at the big reunion in the next chapter of the Self Insert as celebration.

So, SI!Dark went up on the weekend, and I’ll do some polls for next month hopefully in the next week or so. Not really a lot of wriggle room o...

Preview/Update 99

Mornin’, y’all! How’re things? Hope you’re doing good. As voted for by you, the people, last month have a glimpse of Dark!Ben and Raven storming Gangrel’s palace.

So, I didn’t forget to do my update last week. I just didn’t feel it necessary so soon after the vlog. In the world of my writing: I’m behind on Dark, but I’m hoping I can still get it in close to the 14th. I ...

September Vlog 2020

With terrible lighting, because reasons. Sorry it's late! Been busy. Hope y'all enjoy!

Blazing Trinity ch12

I'm sorry this has taken so long to upload. In its current form, it's been done for a few days now, but I've been sitting on it, agonizing on how to make Mark less of a passive observer in the chapter for the last few days (despite promising MinuteRice I wouldn't...). 

But! It's done, and it works as a great leadup to the climax next chapter. So I hope you all enjoy. 

PS: ...

A Matter of Pride ch2

And here it is, part two of my derpy little warmup story! Once again, this chapter has not seen the grace of everyone's favourite editor MinuteRice, so it may be a little rough. But, I hope y'all get a kick out of it nonetheless. I'm still having fun working on it, even if it is just while I'm getting warmed up. Let me know what you all think! 

Preview/Update 98

Man I’ve been bad at remembering these for the last few months... How’s everyone doing? Have a gander at Mark and Matthew sneaking through Caelin castle for reasons.

So, Blazing Trinity is done and with Rice for editing. I’m done another chapter length chunk of A Matter of Pride, which I’ll probably post in the morning. Polls will go up for next month’s Dark chapter once I get ...

Preview/Update 97

Le gasp! We’ve hit 97! ‘97 was a great year, ya know. Final Fantasy VII came out in ‘97. Good times. Yes, I’m old. Have a look at a new scene in the next Blazing Trinity chapter and leave this old man to his rambling...

Writing-wise, I’m about half done with the draft of this BT chapter. It’s nowhere near where I want it to be, but most of the rest of this chapter is just acti...

Preview/Update 96

Ha ha! On time this week! I am proud of myself. Here’s a look at the new Dark chapter. The thirst is real.

So, SI!Dark may be a few days late. After the shit-show of the last few weeks, I’ve just been kinda burned out. But the chapter’s almost done, and Rice has the next few days off work, so hopefully it won’t be too late. God only knows where Blazing Trinity is concerned, thoug...

Preview/Update 95

What happened to update 94, I hear you ask? That’s the power of Update 95, we just zoomed on by! SO POWERFUL IT INVADES OTHER BRANDS’ COMMERCIALS! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Anyway. Good mornin’, everyone. Hope you’re all doing well. Why so late on the update? Stuff. And some things. The abridged version is my own health drop-kicking me, my mother being in and out of the hospital (she’s ...

Here it is! Just sneaking in under the time limit! Ha ha hah! 

Let me know what you think in the comments, and I hope y'all enjoy! 

BONUS: 40k Warm-up Story

As I said in my previous update, I've finally got enough for a full chapter!

For those of you that don't read the updates, I've been writing a dumb little Warhammer 40k story as a warm-up exercise. A few paragraphs here, a few lines of dialogue there, basically every time I sit down to write. Eventually, I found I had a full chapter! I've even started on a second. 

Is this gonn...

Preview/Update 93

Mornin’ all! Here’s another quick look at the next SI chapter, which I’m hoping to have done hella soon.

So, real quick, I’ve activated the ‘Annual Pledge’ feature for my profile. So if you’d rather pay up for the whole year at one time, you can do that and get a 16% discount. I wanted to make a bigger discount, but it caps out at 16%...

So, SI is well in hand. I’m...

Preview/Update 92

Here we are again, another weekly preview. Have a gander at the introspective start of our next official SI chapter!

So, progress has been regrettably slow. I’m adjusting to new medication, which is kinda messing with my... well, everything. I still think I’ll be able to get this chapter done on time, but we’ll see how we go. Rice got his new laptop charger, too, so he’s back on ...

Preview/Update 91

Good morning, good morning! How are we all doing today? Have a quick glimpse of the next SI!Dark chapter, which I actually wrote the entirety of last night.

Also, it’s been two years of Patreon! Holy shit that crept up on me... I think it’s about time I finally updated my bio page, too! Ha!

So, Dark’s draft is done for the month, the Support should be done tonight or tomorro...

Blazing Trinity ch11

Oh my god it's done! Ugh, this chapter was a pain, but in the end I'm very happy that I took the extra time on it. We ended up adding a big chunk to the middle, all from Florina's perspective, and I think it works well to explore the character and add a little more flavor to the world. Also, it fixed the pacing and flow of the chapter big time. 

Sorry for the delay, and I hope y'all ...

Preview/Update 90

Woo! Round numbers! Another look at Blazing Trinity ch11, which is almost done, I promise. I’ve wanted to use the Thor quote for so long lol.

I’ll keep this update brief because vlog yesterday. But for those that don’t watch them, I’ll admit that I’m kinda struggling with my long-standing depression and anxiety issues right now, so we are experiencing some delays. The Support wi...
