Merry Christmas!
Added 2018-12-24 23:28:26 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
With seasons greetings out the way, I just wanted to also let you know that Lunarlillith is running a contest with captions for the Christmas themed TSM artwork she has created. Please take a look and vote! (It's on the community tab).

I'm still working on the next eBook, but I'll be away visiting relatives for a few days, so expect to see that sometime early January.
Thanks for all your support over the year, and here's to 2019... and the epic conclusion to TSM!
Best wishes,
Tefler

2019-01-11 03:28:12 +0000 UTCNothing official yet, but my guess is probably late in the month for chapter 116. Tefler is supposedly still working on ebook 4 right now, and prepping an ebook is more time consuming than writing a new chapter, according to Tefler. So yeah, ideally, we'll have ebook 4 some time next week, followed by 116 by the end of the month.

2019-01-09 02:11:14 +0000 UTCAnyone have any news on when we can starting looking for chapter 116? Thks in advance!

2019-01-08 02:59:55 +0000 UTCI'll definitely be wrapping up the main story as well as most of the subplots. There are a number of ones which I've added that will specifically be addressed in the sequel, so when TSM finishes, if you find yourself thinking "Wait a minute! What about..." then that's probably one of them! :-)
Tefler
2019-01-08 01:32:05 +0000 UTCTefler, in one of your comments from some time ago you mentioned a time jump of 20 years between the end of this series and the sequel. There are a lot of threads in the storyline to be wrapped up ( I'm not going to list them ). I for one hope this means that it takes the whole of 2019 to conclude this segment of TSM's. Could you comment on if you will complete the threads still out there and if you still plan the time jump? Thank you.

2019-01-07 04:03:23 +0000 UTCHey Aurora, I went and picked up some extra Chianti...let me know where you want to do the exchange...the liver is fresh, right?

We have our Flame Throwers in use and there is good news to be heard the people have stopped at the wire for barbeque. SFC Heck(Ret) Platoon Sergeant 8th Engineer Battalion

2019-01-04 18:24:20 +0000 UTCHappy New Year to you, Tefler, and to all of your family, and to all of my fellow TSM fanatics around the world!

2019-01-01 06:34:38 +0000 UTCIf you're still looking for artists, I just found this person while checking up on another author I follow: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/sylessae">https://www.patreon.com/sylessae</a> Looks like they do mostly black and white busts, but there is some info stating that they plan on doing more full color work in 2019. Not a whole lot of full body art that I could find, but I probably wasn't looking at their full portfolio. Commission work seems to be hit or miss on availability, but they apparently maintain a community website where someone can put in a request for artwork, and if an artist is feeling inspired, they'll do it for free, although there do seem to be some restrictions.

2018-12-27 05:19:28 +0000 UTCI've heard some grumblings about Patreon supposedly not applying their terms of service evenly or whatever. I don't have the full details. For the most part, I would say Tefler is kinda safe, since he doesn't post anything explicit or illegal on his page for the general populace to see; the explicit material he does post, i.e. the story and art commissions, are locked to paying customers only, and if those people took issue with the content Tefler creates, then they wouldn't (shouldn't) be paying for it in the first place. The only content that I think could cause issues due to being explicit, violating Patreon's rules and/or possibly some local laws, is the stuff other people put in the Community page here. Tefler doesn't have any control over what other people put there, although he might have the ability to delete stuff.

2018-12-27 01:49:14 +0000 UTCand happy new year everybody here!

2018-12-27 00:59:03 +0000 UTCwith my limited income i only support authors that i like and tefler i like this story so much that i'm reading it for the 4th time, please keep up the excellent writing.........and as long as you have a page here i will throw my $2 worth to you.

David B
2018-12-26 22:56:47 +0000 UTCTefler, are we going to have an issue on Patreon because of the political activism that this site is showing batting and removing various major players and commentary on Patreon?

2018-12-26 20:54:28 +0000 UTCThanks, Tefler, and a Happy Christmas to you and your family also! I have no doubt that the conclusion will be epic, but it will certainly be a bittersweet ending for the fans. I know you had some rumblings earlier for a sequel, any more word on that?
ETNSosa
2018-12-26 02:36:43 +0000 UTCTefler did say that he would be wrapping TSM in 2019. Part 1 that is. So yes it will end but there will be a second part.
