Hey everyone!

Here's chapter 88, hot off the keyboard! 

Part 1 has been partially edited, but the editors haven't had a chance to look at Part 2 yet. I'll be going through part 1 edits this evening and I'll update this post as I make more changes.

Hey guys!

Apologies for the wait on this one, it's been a busy couple of weeks with lots of distractions, but it's finally done!

Part 1 has been edited, but the editors haven't had a chance to look at Part 2 yet, so let me know if you spot any mistakes!

I hope you enjoy it.

Irillith and Tashana on Valaden

Hello everyone!

Here's the third piece of commissioned art from the story! I'm sure it doesn't need any explanation, but it's for an upcoming scene with the Maliri twins. I thought it would also be a good opportunity to see a glimpse of Melfalas, the capital city on Valaden.

N.B. The artist is Alan Vadell, who has a Deviantart and Patreon Page:

Chapter 87 - Current Status

Hey everyone!

The beginning of this month has been pretty hectic and I haven't had as much a chance to write as normal. I've finished the first half of the chapter and just handed it over to my editors, so I expect I'll have the second half done by about the 14th or so.

I'll work on chapter 88 directly afterwards, then work on the ebook for the rest of the month. I'll be away again for a f...

Progenitor and Diety pledge reward

Hey guys!

As a thank you to my highest pledging patrons, I'm offering all of you the opportunity to name a Terran Federation officer that I'll use in the story!

I'm looking for conventional names (rather than nicknames) to use for officers of varying ranks. So, if you either want to do a self-insert, or have a character name you particularly like, then let me know!

If you're interest...

*** Updated 2nd August - FINAL version - I've gone through and made a few minor changes to some scenes and fixed a number of spelling and grammar mistakes. ***

Hi everyone!

Here's chapter 86, I hope you enjoy it!

The first 20k has been through a few editing passes, but part 2 is fresh off the keyboard, so you can expect some typos! As before, I'll update the post with a note saying *...

Jade in tiger form

Hey everyone,

For the second piece of commissioned art, I asked an artist called Jademere to paint a picture of Jade in her tiger form. She was the artist who did the original picture that inspired me to create John's loyal Nymph, so it seemed fitting that I ask her to do the commission.

I think she did a really nice job, so I hope you like it!

Chapter 86 - Status update

Hey everyone!

I've been busy beavering away on chapter 86 and so far I've written:

20k words.

I'll aim to wrap up part 1 tomorrow and hand it over to my editors. However, I've attached a ~5k preview I had planned to add on to the end of the last chapter before it got too big (it hasn't been edited yet, be warned!). It should answer some of the questions you've raised...

*** Updated 22nd July (16:22) - FINAL - let me know if you spot any other typos! :-) ***

Hello!

I won't make you wait until midnight this time, so here's chapter 85!

It's a bit longer than normal at 34.5k and I was thinking about tagging another scene or two on the end, but I don't want to rush those ones. They're important and I wanted to do them justice. I'll push those into chapte...

What artwork would you like to see next?

Hello!

I've had a few ideas about different pictures I'd like to have made up, but it would be useful to know which ones you guys are interested in seeing!

As I mentioned in my status update, I'm arranging pictures of the Maliri twins and Jade in tigerform for the next two. If I'm happy with the Maliri picture, I'll use the same artist for the rest of the crew. So, just pick which one you ...

Chapter 85 status update

*** Updated 17th July ***

Hey everyone,

I've written 33k of the next chapter, so I'm still on track for a 20th July release date. :-)

I'm working with a couple of artists on the next two commissioned pieces. One of which will be in August (the Maliri twins), the other I'm hoping to have ready by the end of the month (Jade in tiger form).

I'll put up a poll so y...

I've done quite a bit of editing on the first ~21k or so of this, and done a quick pass of part 2. I'll update the post with the ***FINAL*** note once all editing is complete. :-)

Hey everyone!

I've written about 28k words of chapter 84 so far and I've handed over part 1 to my editors. 

I'll add new updates to this post as I progress through the chapter!

Tefler

Updated Alyssa pictures (2 of 2)

This was the original, just with the lioness emblems added.

Tefler

Updated Alyssa pictures (1 of 2)

I've been speaking to the artist who did the first Alyssa picture and I'm working with him on the next bit of commissioned art. 

I also asked if he could modify the original picture with a few additions!

The above is the paragon armour with the helmet on and blast filters enabled. He's also added the golden lioness emblems. :-)

Addiction... it's a terrible thing

A man battles with his inner demons. Does he have the willpower to overcome his crippling addiction?

Pretty close to what I had in mind for TFNN's Lead Anchor. :-)

I visited India a year or so ago on a business trip. Some very beautiful girls there!

*** Updated 6th July (19:30) - FINAL version! ***

Hello!

I've just finished the chapter, so here it is, fresh off my keyboard!

I'm still awaiting feedback from one editor on part 1 and there's a couple of additions I've discussed with him that I definitely want to make. The editors have only just received part 2, so there'll definitely be changes there as well.

So, if you want ...

Chapter 83 - Status update

Hey everyone,

Here is the current status for Chapter 83. I'm currently up to:

I'll be spending a few more hours on it now, so I should be able to wrap up part 1 by tomorrow morning.

*** Updated 24th June - FINAL version. ***

Hello!

I've just finished Chapter 82 and have also edited the first half. I'm just waiting for edits on the second half, so there should only be a day or two to wait for the fully edited version.

As before, look out for the *** FINAL *** message at the top of this post when I update it with the final version.

I hope you enjoy it!

Tracking the upgrades

Wookey has been busy keeping track of the different upgrades I keep casually throwing into the story during the various refits. :-)

He also lists the various rifle and body armour upgrades that Dana has completed during the different chapters. 

I know I'll be using it as a useful reference document, so thanks for your hard work Wookey!

Chapter 82 - Status update

Hey everyone!

I just finished part 1 of chapter 82 and handed it over to my editors. I'm making a start on part 2, and all being well, I should be able to finish the chapter by about Wednesday.

I hope you guys had a nice weekend!

First piece of commissioned art!

I've started commissioning artwork as a follow up to the poll I took a few months ago and the first piece is complete!

It costs a fair bit to pay artists to do custom work and takes quite a lot of time liaising with them to get everything right, so I just created a new pledge tier ($2/chapter) for people who want to see custom art from the story. I'm planning on commissioning at least one new cu...

Alyssa in Paragon Armour, holding a Punisher Rifle!

Hey everyone!

This is the first piece of custom artwork I've commissioned! 

I worked with a very talented artist called Alan Vandall to come up with this, and I think he did a great job!
