This has got to be the most tricky, or perhaps the most difficult chapter outline I've finished so far. Since I've already got the story planned out and I've got plenty of notes about what's going to happen when, generally a chapter outline is pretty simple, I can bang it out in a few days and then tweak it as I go and as needed.
This one I ended up doing, then undoing, then redoing multi...
2020-10-13 16:05:30 +0000 UTC View PostCh20 outline not quite finished yet.
It's always funny jumping back into ACoT chapters after working on something else, like having to kickstart your brain back into action because of how complex everything I've setup has become.
That's a good thing, but it does occasionally get a little hard to keep track of.

2020-10-06 10:27:11 +0000 UTC View PostSo! Perhaps surprising to me, looks like the next chapter of A Change of Tactics won out through the poll, so I'll make that my next target instead, Say'ri's continuing descent into depravity. Sounds like fun to me, hopefully I can make some quick progress, I'll keep you updated with the outline and how it's going soon.
And, as some of you may have already noticed, I recently uploaded a v...
2020-09-29 13:10:26 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick one this time.
Normally I was going to work on another chapter of Bred for Victory next, and I've got it all planned out to be done, however my P4 story wound up taking far longer than expected, so I thought I'd make sure y'all weren't getting ansty for more ACoT first, or perhaps if you were in the mood for something else entirely?

And we're finally complete, and done, and uploaded, and it's finished. I'm amazed at how much this one got away from me, but I suppose I probably shouldn't be. Anyway, slightly different this time, and was meant to be MUCH simpler than usual!
You guys remember that Persona 4 Golden game that came to PC all that long while ago? Well, I've been a huge fan of P4 since forever, so I had...
2020-09-19 20:39:17 +0000 UTC View PostEverything always takes far longer than it should, somehow. Although, this story absolutely got away from me.
I specifically set out to challenge myself to have it done in a weekend, or a week or so. The idea being it'd have a bunch of scenes with very minimal setup, referencing a lot of past events without showing them, maybe a paragraph or two of setup, and then quickfire scenes too, le...
2020-09-08 12:16:50 +0000 UTC View PostGot a good amount of writing done, just need to finish off and I should have something uploaded later today after work.

2020-08-25 16:36:50 +0000 UTC View PostSo just a little earlier this week I got the news that my region has had another flare up of Covid cases and we're going back into lockdown/quarantine to try weather the storm once again.
This time I'll be staying in my usual city, the hope being that we're only like this for a few weeks, but we'll see, everyone's just hoping for the best. I'm fine and all my friends and family are ...
2020-08-11 23:19:51 +0000 UTC View PostNo exciting news this time, but a small (and hopefully fun) project has been taking shape, so ideally I'll have that finished this week, and then get cracking on the next chapter properly.

2020-08-04 15:16:01 +0000 UTC View PostAfter taking a little bit of time to recover from getting the latest chapter of ACoT, I've been working on the upcoming chapter for BFV. I haven't finished the outline just yet, but I should have that wrapped up soon and I'll post it then.
Probably unsurprisingly given that it's Chrom's literal sister, the votes have wound up being Robin/Maribelle/Lissa. Well, you guys know I enjoy writi...
Turns out "It'll be uploaded after I get home from work" was more ambitious than I expected. What happened instead was that having stayed up almost all night twice in a row caught up with me and I wound up crashing out after work, without any kind of focus to get anything done. (Meeting got cancelled too, so that was a fun thing to be stressing about)
Of course some hosting some mildly un...
2020-07-20 16:57:29 +0000 UTC View PostFinally, freaking done.
But I've got work in less than an hour, and a vitally important meeting about 2hrs after that.
So I'll spellcheck/tidyup and upload tonight when I'm home.
2020-07-14 20:29:25 +0000 UTC View PostBleeeeeh. And after another futile late night push and with only a very short while before I head to work, I need to give up on trying to get this done before my update once again.
I probably shouldn't do this, but because it must seem dubious because of how long this whole thing has dragged on I've decided to include a link to where you can see the most updated version of the story, so y...
2020-07-07 20:51:24 +0000 UTC View PostFor some reason this last week, I could barely manage to get anything done, writing just didn't happen, either from interruptions or just not being able to do it.
The chapter is still almost done, so it should just be a little longer to push through and finish it off.
This should be the last update before I post the next ACoT chapter. Just need to finish up the sex scene with Say'ri and I'm done, just a matter of getting it done.

2020-06-16 16:05:16 +0000 UTC View PostNo big exciting update this week, just plugging away, getting more written, transcribed mostly. The google docs preview is up to date again.

2020-06-02 14:41:51 +0000 UTC View Post
Bad news first: Turns out my Mum's reaction to the lockdown being (mostly) raised was to have a pretty constant stream of friends/family over for dinner, now that they didn't have to stay away.
If you thought "Man, writing smut when your parents are only a few meters away sounds hard." try doing so when you've got guests over almost every night of the week. So I got nothing done most of ...
Pretty simple update this time, a few days recovering from my upload and then diving straight back into ACoT, Say'ri's chapter.
Nothing exciting to post yet, but I should have some more substantial scenes out soon, so I'll update those on the preview file as I finish them and transcribe them.

2020-05-19 14:45:57 +0000 UTC View PostAnd, finally goddamn finished!
So (hopefully not too surprisingly), this IS a chapter publishing update, however it's probably not the one you would have expected, and I want to explain briefly why that's the case.
A number of you have already guessed this (since I didn't make any attempt to change my writing style), but I've actually been writing the FE: Harem story "Bred for Victo...
2020-05-12 15:56:28 +0000 UTC View PostJust putting the finishing touches on the transcribing, about 4 scenes left to do. Then a bit of editing, and it'll be done.

2020-05-05 16:33:29 +0000 UTC View PostI was working hard all weekend thinking I'd definitely get an upload out to you guys this time, but unfortunately, transcribing always takes longer than it seems like it should, so I'm not quite done. Should be finished transcribing and then a little bit of final touches and will have something uploaded. Hopefully will be fun and worth the wait!
In the meantime though, if any of you know ...

Hi all,
Hope you're all doing well, and that you're all staying safe. A lot of the reports about this pandemic seem to be easing, to some degree or another, so hopefully we're through the worst of it and things can start getting positive again.
Hell of a way to spend Easter, but I suppose that's life. At least I'm not a student, I can't imagine the upheaval that'd do to their schedu...
2020-04-14 17:29:59 +0000 UTC View PostA very different update this time! I've got two more stories I've just published on my account, but they're both very different from the kind you'd usually expect from me and not actually written by me.
They're both from a friend of mine who doesn't have any of the relevant Ao3 or similar accounts, and wrote them privately for my personal sake. I asked him if I could publish them, if he r...
2020-04-04 12:48:51 +0000 UTC View PostWell, not really, I've still made pretty okay progress... under the circumstances.
Given all the talk of people in quarantine being super bored without anything to do, just lazing around eating and playing video games all day, I expected it'd be a time when I'd almost have nothing else to do but write, I was actually somewhat looking forward to it.
So you can imagine my frustrat...
2020-03-31 15:47:08 +0000 UTC View PostProbably unsurprisingly, I don't have a super exciting update for you guys this time. I made a reasonable but not amazing level of progress, but I (hopefully understanably) also took a few days as a break after getting the last chapter out.
So things are ticking along, but no big news to reveal just yet. Shouldn't take too long, given as I said, that I'm fairly well through the chapter as...
2020-03-17 11:51:41 +0000 UTC View PostTold myself on Tuesday I'd finally get it finished and get it uploaded, so I could finally play some more DragonQuest.
"I'll get it done tonight, I have to! My Patreons are gonna get sick of waiting any longer!"
Told myself the same story Wed -> Friday. Scenes expanded more than anticipated, things went backwards at times, I was always making progress but never seeming to g...

2020-02-25 13:03:00 +0000 UTC View PostOookay! And I was hoping to actually have the upload done tonight, but I've got work in a handful of hours, so I think I'm gonna get some sleep instead.
More importantly though, I'm switching the plan up a little.
I always expected this chapter to be pretty massive, but now that I've actually got it written out and I'm looking at where I'm expanding things, and where things are gett...
2020-02-18 15:02:43 +0000 UTC View PostApologies for the late (and useless) update this week, I meant to do it earlier yesterday or today- just got back from the hospital earlier today and wound up crashing out until just a bit ago afterwards.
I was just in for a minor surgical procedure, no problems- worst of it was honestly the god-awful drink I had to take for two days leading up to it. It's amazing how bad they can m...
2020-02-04 13:50:20 +0000 UTC View PostSimilar (but better) story this week. Work's gone really well on the chapter, but it's not yet complete. It's sitting at a little over 16k words, and for anyone who's followed the outline, I'm through to just before they leave from Ylisstol.
I've added a small sex scene between Robin and Lucina before the meeting.
And as a response to the poll I put out, I'll see about adding a sexu...
