Blood & Fur Chapter 6: The Obsidian Winds

The journey started well enough, and then came the bladed winds.
I followed the dim sunlight towards Mictlan for what felt like an eternity, flying over a sprawling mire of swamps and dilapidated ruins. How many empires found their way into the Underwor...

Snowdrift’s Black Keep lived up to its name.
Overseeing the city from atop its tallest hill like a crow in its nest, the castle had been built as a secondary fortress to Stonegarde; if the latter fell before a beastman invasion from the north, rein...

I had rarely rested my head on a woman’s lap, let alone a vampire’s.
It was… comfortable. And dreadful. Yoloxochitl’s skin was colder than Eztli’s, and though her smile was warm, the air was fraught with danger. I could cut the tension with...

Alright everyone, I'll go straight to the point, I've encountered a huge issue with the Patreon pausing.
A few months ago ago, I changed the Patreon billing from "paying upfront" to "subscription" so patrons could pay the day they subscribed (instead of being billed on the 1 if a new patron subscribed on the 29th of the previous month for example, forcing them t...

Hello everyone,
I have reviewed your comments on how the Patreon should progress and your viewpoints. From I read, I'm leaning toward having a balance between deadlines and flexibility: one story with a set amount of chapter(s) per week (like one large chapter guaranteed), and then either publish more entries or chapters from the other stories if they're polished enough.

As I write these lines, Apocalypse Tamer is now completed with 140 chapters, making it my second longest series behind Vainqueur the Dragon. It's taken over most of the year and was written in chaotic times for me, but I'm satisfied with the journey. Apocalypse Tamer was my first time creating a 'crossover' between various o...
