Yet another announcement post

Hey everyone. Hope you all had fun over the holidays. I did my usual thing, went to bunch of family and work events and behaved as my anti-social self, but now that all that's out of the way, I can finally play some video games. Mebbe some X Com 2 if I can get Long War of the Chosen working, or maybe I'll just read something.


Anywho, on to the reason for this post. While I don'...

The Patreon Rundown

Since Patreon finally let's creators pin posts, I'm writing this to get all the Patron information in one place.


First off, any Patrons who'd like to be mentioned in the chapter posts on royalroad, please private message me with the name you'd like me to use, or email me at ruffwriter@outlook.com. If you'd pr...

I'm back!


Hooray.


2020. Just writing it makes me feel old. I hate it. Blerg. But enough griping. Quick update on wisdom teeth: they're still in my mouth, and I'm waiting on X-rays to book the surgery, so still don't know when that'll happen. You'll all know when I know, but until then, SD resumes at it's normal schedule.


Thanks for sticking it ...

Ugh

Speak and it shall be so.


No chapter tonight. No eta for a release either, because I just realized i forgot to edit 535 for 1$ patrons as well.


Am starting to remember why i used to take most of dec off -_-


Still committed to getting you all 5 chs ahead before I go on break, but it looks like that just means it'll be awhile before i go on break...

Pending Break status update!

Okay, so the last chapter for Royal Road will be posted on Tuesday December 10th. It'll be the same for 1$ patrons, and I think both are a decent spot to leave on.


If this applies to you, then there's no need to continue reading, but you can if you want.


As for 5$ patrons and up, I still owe a fifth chapter, which I'll get done, but it, and the remaining chapte...

So i spent a lot of time rewriting and reordering this, but not as much time editing it. If something seems out of place, a sentence or a mentions about something, it probably is, and I'd appreciate if you left a comment on it, either here or google drive.

I may spend the weekend rewriting this chapter. No plans on changing the information contained in the chapter, just how it's delivered.

Bad news for some

So latest chapter (534) isn't done and is about to go through some massive changes I just decided needed to be made. Normally, I'd just work extra hard then finish it by tomorrow afternoon, but the problem is, I also need to finish rewriting 531, edit 532 and 3 to make sure they're in line with the changes, and start on 535 so it would theoretically be ready for thursday.

As is per usual, I'll be taking time off. Haven't decided how much time yet, but probs like 3 weeks minimum. I'm thinking last two weeks of dec and first week of january, but im unsure as for now, as I'd like to leave things off on a non-cliffy note. Anywho, unlike last year when I took 6 weeks off, I won't be stopping December's Patreon payment, because I intend to write through a good chunk o...

New post because I reordered 524-525 and I didn't want comments to spoil anything. Or to read the comments again to see if they might spoil anything.

Not an extra chapter or delay notice

I rearranged chs 524 and 525, more or less chopping 524 in half and putting 525 in between the two halves. There's been little to no editing done, because I've just been agonizing over this shit for the last few hours.


I'd be much obliged if you all gave it a quick skim and lemme know your thoughts on the change of pace. Better, worse, or same, I'd like to hear it.
