Three Square Meals Ch. 185 (Placeholder)

Hey everyone,

I'm sorry to start the New Year on a negative note with a placeholder. I've got a lot to catch up on in 2025, and I hate that I've failed to keep my promises in 2024.

I will do better this year, and I'll try to set the right tone in January.

The next few chapters involve a lot of tying up loose ends, which I've been really looking forward to writing. Fortunately I don't have any big battles planned for the imminent future, which is a huge relief, as I feel like I've been fighting the Progenitor War myself over the last year!

I hope you all have a great 2025.

Best wishes,

Tefler

I enjoy Tefler story and will keep waiting for the next chapter. But at the same time I enjoy writing my story. Thank for dropping me a note. Terry

THodge

Takes balls. I like it.

Garrett

I said I could dream that had happened

,... Hey Calvin, one recent commenter said that Tef has finally gotten his operation, and has written about 2/3 of a chapter so far while recuperating, ... with luck and Tef's continued good health and his good attitude, we may see a couple chapters a month soon, ... fingers crossed, ... ;-) ttfn

“I will do better this year, and I'll try to set the right tone in January.” Well… that was a giant FAIL. I’d like to say I’m surprised, but sadly, I’m not.

Calvin Martin

I promote him and other writers on my site. Check it out. Thank you for taking your time to let me know what you think.

THodge

Promoting yourself on another writer's wall? I mean, we may all be frustrated with Tefler but this is not OK.

LF

He isn't wrong though. Tefler throws up a lot of red flags.

Garrett

uh, yeah, okay, .., okay, how about when Henry Voss put Dana's 'name' on multiple Patients for her, and say he probably used her name as Dana Blake, ... Then Tef missed an opportunity to have a sit-down conversation with Voss's daughter and her girlfriend, ... talking about a wealthy, conservative father's thoughts about his daughter being happy in an alien's harem, clearing the air, ... -- Dana's name brings out a lot of baggage for some of the characters, ... just my opinion, ... ;-) ttfn

Michael56Smith

The Ashanath would call her DanaBlake. Or DanaCurvaeous

Jim Ranford

--- What's in a Name? -- Dana changed her name from Sparks, keeping that childhood handle as a nickname to be used among friends and family, ... then later Dana registered multiple patients under her name, ... so what sir name / last name did she chose? was it: A) Dana Blake? B) Dana Karron? C) Dana Diablo? D) Dana the Miracle Worker?.... something else? ... Tef never told us, .... -- what do you think? ... ;-) ttfn

Wow JP. WOW!

Dean, you say what you want. America is a free country. M56S jackasses anyone whom he disagrees with. It doesn't help here when people rightly feel they are being ripped off.

Big Dude

-- bye Dennis, please check back in a few months, ... or next year, .... ;-) ttfn

Michael56Smith

Been self employed all my life. Most have no concept of self employment. It is nearly a unique perspective.

Dean Unick

hmmm, a disappointing offer of help Dean, ... I think that hateful rhetoric and negatives are not really much help, .... in my opinion, .... ;-) ttfn

Michael56Smith

Happy New year Tef and family. Wishing you the best. Wishing the same for the fans as well.

DCM

I am tired of all the excuses. I am out.

Dennis

Disappointed in the placeholder nonsense. I have faced similar. I can help. I can relay my paths out, and they may resonate with you. Ya never know ???

Dean Unick

STILL a great story!!

Tef, I like your work, understand life happens, and feel it is appropriate to support your work. However, if my count is correct we have been charged 5 times for a completed 172 (Nov, Dec, and now Jan) that is pushing it. I have reduced my membership to $1 and will likely increase it when you deliver a full chapter per month and charge for one. I hope things get better for you soon. Until then, I agree with the others that suggest smaller chapters may be what you need to focus on.

The Professor

Yes. Smaller chapters will be much better and will help reduce the backlog.

Thanks Tefler! Happy New year! It was a very good and satisfying read. "he didn't know what hit him" is a great phrase tonight ;)

Son of Lan Mandragoran

It's great to start the new year with a joke!

Bob M

And those are some nice suggestions, .... it's Tef's show, but those ideas have merit, ... ;-) ttfn

Michael56Smith

Tefler: Stop calling your postings partial chapters, and make them count as full chapters. Drop side story updates to the overall story as additional chapters so we get caught up. (you can paste them back in-place later chapters as needed). You can also post artwork, polls and interactions. Just post SOMETHING OF VALUE instead of placeholders. Your subscription base will increase instead of dwindle to nothing and your monthly income will multiply. It’s not rocket science!

Gotta fuel that gambling/drug addiction somehow. What's the hotline in the UK? He needs rehab.

JP

You don't hate it. You are sucking this tit dry for as long as you can.

Tipp McClure

annnnnnndddd.... there it is

Jeff

No you won’t.

Amathew2

Starting the new year with over a year's worth of place holders to catch up on. Happy New Year!

ShadowOfValor

Happy new year and we wish you and your family health and creativity.

J

2024 was a hard year for lots of people; just glad to be riding along with this amazing story. Keep taking care of yourself and your family, and here’s hoping 2025 brings good health and good fortune.

And there is 1....waiting for the next one in 3...2....1....
