Phew! Alright! I'm moved in, and setup in my new place. And I even kind'a mostly have internet (I'm literally running a cord from one end of the place to the other... Really questioning where the previous owners put the Fibre Box)
As with everything in this life it took a whole lot longer than I wanted, way more effort than I expected and came with all kinds of little hangups I hadn't anticipate...
2018-07-23 17:58:07 +0000 UTC View PostHi guys,
First of all, let me apologise if I haven't seemed to be around much, or if I haven't been as communicative as usual.
I have been working on my writing as much as I've been able... However, unfortunately, "able" is the operative word here. The chapter's taken so damn long to finish off that my life has swung around to me being up to my eyeballs in things to take care of ...
2018-07-16 16:42:13 +0000 UTC View PostHeyo guys,
Hope we're all having fun watching the World Cup, or at least following along with the drama as all the biggest teams desperately scramble not to implode.
Good news is that the chapter is practically finished at this point, aside from some minor work on a few scenes, the last major hurdle to overcome is a very silly one.
Basically a while ago I randomly lost m...
The end is in sight! Close now, close, close... Well, somewhat. I know this chapter is taking forever, but it's only another about 3 scenes that need to be finished up and then I'll have it uploaded. And then onto whatever comes next!
In other news, what'd you guys all think of the newest FE reveal? I'm honestly surprisingly underwhelmed by it, I really wanted to love it, but it just doesn'...
That feeling when you're just about finished with a scene and the alarm you set to wake you up to get ready for work goes off...
Ohwell, I'll figure something out.
Anyhow. Unfortunately, as you may have noticed, my intention to publish my current story before May hit didn't end up coming to fruition.
A few scenes took longer than I wanted (sometimes things just don't work, I s...
Hi all,
Another good week actually, somewhat distracted by the last of this whole house buying bureaucracy (thankfully it all seems to be falling into place), but I still managed to get quite a lot done.
I wound up doing a significant amount of re-writing and editing as I wrote, so there's perhaps not as much quantity as I'd like, but I'm pretty happy with the quality.
Still a...
Sorry, not a very productive week this week.
I did manage to eventually buy a house! (Yay)
But I didn't manage to do anything much else. Just ended up tied up with too much other stuff, barely got more than a page or so written.
Frustrating! But I should be able to dedicate more time to it this week.

Progress on ACoT is progressing. Less smoothly than I'd like, given all the drama and such I've been dealing with in regards to trying to buy a place to live (the process is almost nothing like what I expected and far more annoying), but progressing.
However, due to a combination of sudden inspiration and an urge to take a break and challenge myself to just knock something out, well... I to...
Hi guys,
Simple update this time, nothing too flashy. I've been making good progress (and, once again am up way too late doing so...I need better sleep habbits) but it's got a long way to go. I'm aiming to do 1k words each day this week, then more over the weekend, so that should help it along.
Putting it in perspective, I've got 13k words of a draft/outline/skeleton....
-J
Sorry for the late update, I wound up away from home more than expected, taking care of some of the house-buying stuff I've mentioned.
In regards to the upcoming chapter, the poll results are more or less in and they've been almost unanimous, saying I shouldn't split the chapter even if it takes longer to get it done. So that's what I've been working on. I'll still do my best to get it out ASAP,...
2018-04-18 15:41:28 +0000 UTC View PostActually a good week this week. Still delayed by personal/housing issues, but I made fairly significant progress with the chapter, not much to talk about besides that, a few thousand words written. I do need to hash out more of a plan though, seeing as the plan is looking like it'll go very long, I may end up splitting it in half and releasing it sooner.

Happy Easter y'all. And a happy April Fools too. Hope you had a good one, got some chocolate, spent time with your family and possibly lamented the fact that Easter Monday isn't a holiday in some parts of the world (suckers!)
As mentioned last week, I'm tied up a bit at the moment with personal issues- namely, sorting out a place to live. It's somewhat timely because if I'm too slow getting it a...
2018-04-02 15:51:09 +0000 UTC View PostJust a minor update this week. Mostly I spent it recovering and recuperating after getting my last story uploaded, and I've otherwise been busy arranging the details for a house/apartment I'm trying to look into buying, so a busy time in general. (And I celebrated yet another birthday, so that was nice too)
I've got the basic outline hashed up and should have it finalised very soon, I'll aim to ...
2018-03-26 13:36:08 +0000 UTC View PostPhew! After being "almost" complete for *almost* another goddamn week, it's finally finished, finally edited and finally uploaded! And I've even got a few hours to sleep before work, woo!
So, another (probably the final?) chapter for my Xenoblade 2 story, this time getting everyone's favourite busty Demi-Goddesses Pyra and Mythra into the fun. Ended up working on this partially based off a ...
Almost done. Almost goddamn done.
Even done with the extra scenes I added in since "It's so late as is, so I need to at least make it worth it."
Pretty much just needs some last stuff written out, then tidied up and should be almost ready to upload. But it's well past midnight now so I'll give up for tonight.
Sorry for taking so long with this and for anyone I've been slow ab...
Sorry guys, still not finished. I don't even have any excuse this time, I was just sure I could get it done and I haven't been able to. I'll keep working and get it up as soon as I can.

2018-02-26 15:53:43 +0000 UTC View PostNot the most exciting update unfortunately. Had a fairly slow week for progress, a lot of distractions from real life issues and such but still made a decent amount of progress. I was aiming to have it all finished by this weekend, to edit and upload, but I'm not quite on par with that, so hopefully within the next few days.

2018-02-12 18:29:28 +0000 UTC View PostSo, looks like the overwhelming majority of you think it'd be fun to add "Kagerou" into the story! Literally only had one person vote against it (sorry man)
You maniacs! As if this harem wasn't big enough and as if it wasn't taking long enough to get to the best bits! Ahh, I'll try my best! I'll do what I can!
Seriously though Kagerou is awesome and that sounds like fun. The votes to...
Hi guys,
Sorry for the belated update! I was away from internet at first, then it seems that must have messed up my schedule/thinking that it slipped my mind to do it yesterday, sorry!
Things have gone well for the latest chapter, small hiccup over the weekend, ended up with less time to write than I should have, but more or less on track. Ideally I'll have things wrap...
2018-02-06 20:31:23 +0000 UTC View PostAll the moving and house details are sorted! Finally! Thankfully! And so the story is now back on track, still early days for writing but I'd like to hope I can make good progress this week, ideally get most or all of the draft finished. Let's see.
-J
2018-01-30 06:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostNo progress at all this week sorry. Been busy with end of lease and tennancy things which have taken up all my free time and energy after work. Should hopefully be done by the next few days, whereupon I'll dig back in hard, but for now, I've gott'a get this sorted before I can focus on anything else.
-J
Not much of an update this time I'm sorry fellows. As I mentioned in my previous post, just finished and uploaded my latest story (the Xenoblade one). So I'm now getting back into the swing of things and drafting out my next work.
And, unfortunately, my holidays have come to an end, so I'm back at work. Ah, how sad, no?
-J
And it's uploaded! Woo!
As some of you may know, I've been absolutely sucked into Xenoblade Chronicles 2 over the little holiday break, so this is the culmination of that. Just some Rex/Nia goodness, with a little implied Rex/Pyra/Mythra, hopefully it's fun. I wouldn't mind doing some more with some of the other Blades down the line, but we'll see.
Anyhow, as always, it's available at all ...
2018-01-11 04:06:23 +0000 UTC View PostSo! It's the new year, hope you're all keeping safe, keeping the sun-screen on, taking care of yourselves.
The smaller project I mentioned trying to get done between the Christmas-NY break has (obviously) gone on a little longer than I hoped, probably to be expected considering family and other commitments, but I should have it up very soon, ideally in the next few hours, unless I wind up crashi...
2018-01-08 14:30:17 +0000 UTC View PostFeels like it's been a long awaited chapter in this case! But, right before Christmas, I finally get it completed, that's not too bad! And I think it's a pretty fun chapter myself too, got the two best girls involved, so you can't go wrong with that.
I'll see if I can get something else small complete before New Years, but not 100% sure.
Anyhow, as always, it's available at all good bookse...
2017-12-21 20:05:36 +0000 UTC View PostHoly hell, took a long time didn't it? Between Christmas making my work life a lot busier, negative progress and everything else cropping up, nothing seemed to go as planned!
I wound up taking my Christmas break early, taking off from Tuesday this week just to finally have the time to review/fix/do everything up.
But, it's finally. FINALLY. Done. Just sent it to the commissioner for...
Huh, looks like it's another episode of "I underestimated the amount of time I'd have to spend tidying up some of this stuff, and then working on another section didn't go how I expected it, so the deadline I gave whooshed past..."
Isn't that a re-run? Lame. I'm gonna change the channel.

Story almost done, gott'a finish off the final touches and we're golden.

2017-11-27 18:50:10 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Pretty familiar update this time, nothing hugely exciting. I'm on track and aiming to get everything either wrapped up, or as close to as possible by this weekend. Let's hope for the best.
Kind'a scary thinking the Holidays are just around the corner, it's been a short year huh?
-J
Fairly minimal progress this week unfortunately, I was tied up with work for most of the week and then away on a work event for the entire weekend, so I barely had any time to write at all.
Even today, where I was planning on at least getting something done, instead several hours were spent trying to solve why my computer display broke with the latest Windows update (thanks Microsoft!). 2017-11-06 15:05:23 +0000 UTC View Post
