Three Square Meals - Chapter 143 status

Make it so

Pfugly

Supporting YOU is why I'm a Patron. If you need help, then I'm glad to help out. :)

Nicholas

I understand where you are coming from. And I also hope to see this motivate Tefler into completing Chapter 143 and 144 in October, as I actually truly believe Tefler can easily complete them both if he puts his mind to it. But in addition to the advancement for chapters 143 and 144, he also owes commissioned art work every chapter for the $2+ tier for the past 30+ chapters. I can’t remember if it was suppose to be for every chapter or every other chapter, but the point is it is still owed.

DemonHunterCole

Wah, wah, wah! What a whiner! Buck up! Settle down and just write! You've got over 4,500 patrons, and if you just stick to writing and whine a lot less, you wouldn't have money problems! Sheesh!

This Old Man

I have no problem with double paying. In fact I am going to increase my membership level to help a little.

Bill Phillips

Ah, the joys of home ownership. Hope your roof is fixed soon.

Brandon Anderson

I feel for you, sounds like you can't find reliable contractors. What with this Covid thing it's difficult to find anyone to do the work we need done. I used to do everything myself but now I'm pushing 80 with bad knees. Trying to teach the kids but they are not into working with there hands except for gardening, although my son (50) did change a light witch the other day without my help so that's something. I keep trying to tell them it's only nuts and bolts and wires and screws. Keep the faith and check references and reviews on anyone you hire.

Dan Ferguson

Fine by me

Joe Johnson

Do what you need to do

Steven Allen

You got my support, no matter to me. I got spending income, so much so that I'm helping friends and family out while still saving.

Hawksbri

Do what you gotta do boss man

No problem with that, as they say, Life Happens

Jacques Van Zyl

Go for it Tef... get that roof fixed..

eclipse

... Tefler ... I'm of a partially-dissimilar viewpoint to 'Thetues', above; I long have thought an average of ten Literotica 'pages' adequate; that the frequent 19-ish pages, and the at least one-time Grand Battle 28-pages, may be thought of as earning leeway to gain income from an occasional smaller chapter for your sanity's sake ...

Hey, you take care of yourself and family first Tefler, do what you need to do.

Thanatos95

While I'd much rather have you write four more chapters this month and pay you for all four of them, I'm certainly not going to unsponsor you over this 😁 I will hope that the resulting lack of distraction will result in higher productivity and resultant higher income for you. Good luck!

Toodles McGhee

no worries

Joe Weyers

I love the story and I have been a supporter for awhile. I will support this, but it is a bad precedent. I don’t have a problem with a half a chapter a month. I pay for what I get. Now you are committing to produce the “now” normal half chapter plus another whole chapter while you are dealing with the stress of your house falling down. You are being paid for work that you HAVE NOT DONE. You owe us. You are in debt to your loyal subscribers. Not a good idea. We are not a loan institution. 😔 It would be better for you to get a loan outside of us, or do the go fund me. This has the potential to come off very bad. I hope it works out and I will expect to see a full chapter 144 by Halloween. Good luck.

Go for it.

Woodrobin

Do it mate.

It would be fine and I love your writing. Best wishes may you and your family be safe.

No problem Tef, I'll always support you and know by experience what you are going through

Mick Peaper

Fix the roof Tef

Raphe

No problem. Family comes first.

no problem , you have my sympathies , have had "Issues" with so called 'builders' myself .

bigdawguw65

No worries.

No problem go for it.

Harald Link

I agree with Brooks Moses.

You have to do what you have to do, but I sympathise on the cowboy builders :( Always support the good ones and recommend them, word of mouth helps the good workers and helps weed out the bad. Doesn't matter what type of tradesperson we are talking about either.

Duncan Gafney

I'm part of the group that's been saying for months that these two-part chapters are long enough you should charge for both parts. So, indeed, I fully support what you're proposing here!

Brooks Moses

Go for it

Fully support it

John Doe

No problem here with this.

shelleycat

No problem go for it.

No problem. Upping donation. Thanks.

bjcreek

Another donation upped 👍🏼

Philip Lemon

Another donation upped. As some others have noted, you're why we're here 👍

Bob M

No worries, Tef. Gotta love dodgy contractors! Yeah, you do what you need to do. Cheers

.310: Yeah Tef, Keep yer family and yer keyboard dry,.. ;-) TTFN

Michael56Smith

Hi Tefler, As per fedback in earlier posts I would be pleased to pay for 10,000 or 15,000 word chapters. Anything to keep TSM going. Good luck with the building...

jdg45

No problem, Tefler! Do what you need to do and good luck to get it all fixed.

Bp Hlpt

Go ahead - a roof over your head is kind’a important. Upgraded to deity tier to support our long journey together.

Kim Biel-Nielsen

Dude, take care of your home and family, we all want you to be happy and worry-free so you can have those awesome creative juices flowing! We got your back, man!

Ezorro

Go with the extras. I am happy for you to charge for every upload anyway

Kevin Horin

It’s a couple of dollars to me, it’s a new roof to you. By all means, please double charge. Triple if you have to 😊

Marcus with a Q

Feel free. I already upped my donation. And no freebies. You put out a good yarn and It sounds like everyone agrees we want you to keep going!!! you have been very honest in the past even to the point I feel you should have charged. Take care of your roof and family. Then with a dry kitchen you have room to write. 😉

I agree. If I was in your position I would like to think people would be prepared to help. So I am glad I am in a position to help. Cheers.

Supporting the author is the whole reason for being here!

Donald Randolph

It's Allgood with me Take Care And Handle Your Business And Don't Let The Business Handle You. Good Luck With everything

Do it

Not a problem. Take care of yourself and good luck with the roof!

Do it. What's only a couple dollars for most of us is a much needed boost to you.

Tyrius_Gale

I'm fine with that!

I fully support whatever you decide to do. Your delivering multiple releases in a short period of time sounds absolutely wonderful to me.

Ken Moreau

Do it!

I support this. Thanks for your transparency!

Sure, get after it.

Metal

I'm fine with the 2nd blank post or a GoFundMe.

Invictus

Tefler it would be rather hypocritical of us the fans to bail on you in your time of need. Please do what you need to take care of the most important thing ..your family. You have never given any of us a reason to worry so please be safe and do what needs doing.

Just downloaded and can't wait to read the latest. Bumping up the sub

Works for me -- you clearly need the help, and it's not like my money is generating interest at the bank, so it might as well be useful to someone :)

cittran genericlastname

Agreed!!!

Yes, seriously. I believe that you will find that a GoFundMe page will not only cover the cost of the rook, it will cover the cost of the solicitor to sue the two incompetent builders. Those roaches always pop up and they never seem to go away. Or perhaps you could hire some guys with bent noses to have a meeting with them! Do the GoFundMe and I'll pitch in at least $500. I have to believe there are more like me out here in TSMLand

Writer Mick

.299: tales of woe, really are sad things,.. and the damage and frustration of drip, drip, dripping, grrr! It sounds like Tef is still taking pretty good care of his Fans, so best wishes on your new, and hopefully improved construction workers, and their working out for you and your home Tef. And greeting and salutations to all your loved ones, may they be healthy, hardy, and happy,.. ;-) TTFN

Michael56Smith

I'm down. Do it

Roman Andrew Chalfant

I’m in. Sound’s like this would make a good comedy, say with Tom Hanks and Shelly Long…

Old Salt

post the chapter with a single line "coming soon". I bumped my membership to $20 for the month to help out.

Im cool with that Telfer.

Sure, no problem

A GoFundMe page is definitely the way to go. You just know that if Tef puts a charge through Patreon without an accompanying chapter someone in here is gonna yell "Fraud".

andrew finlayson

I feel sure that Robert E. Howard would be supportive of your imaginative, galactic application of "Sword and Techno-sorcery."

We need to talk Tefler into setting up a GoFundMe page. That way those of us that can help more can do so...and it is tax deductible that way here in the States.

PLRus--Founding member of the TSM F5 club.

I'm fine with anything that expedites a lack of leaks and a more supportive writing environment to continue providing a most entertaining story.

Go for it

Daniel Polster

Family first Tefler! Direct me to your gofundme page and I’ll definitely chip in!

Do what you need to do, Sir Tef. We've got your back.

You do what you have to and get things done the way you want your family and home is more important hope everything turns out okay thank you for making one of the best if not the best sci-fi book series I have ever read

travis btmb

I wrote this reply before reading all the other supportive posts. I'll be raising my contribution per chapter moving forward too. It's a great idea I read from several other posts and the easiest way to help I think. Thanks for the idea guys and gals!!

Sceptre

do the needed repairs. home and family comes first.

Do what needs to be done! I'm perfectly happy with this idea and willing to support you. :)

Do what is best for you and your family. I have been with you since Dec of 2015 and I am not concerned as I know you will do your best for all of us! Stay strong and don't let the rain get to your keyboard!

Set up a 'Go Fund Me' page.

PLRus--Founding member of the TSM F5 club.

Do what you gotta do man

Willie Massey

Yes Tefler, please do what you need to do to get that fixed. I'd be happy to be billed 10 times this month if it will help you get that sorted. Thanks for all you do and I may not speak for everyone, but I'm sure I speak for a vast majority when I say "Yes" to this request.

Sceptre

Do what you need to Tef.

As I'll be tearing out a kitchen floor because of water damage, I feel the pain. Go for it!

Increasing my chapter payments through the rest of the year.

MeCherAmigos

No worries

I have no issues with that :)

Go ahead

In the end it's tough to concentrate if the world around you is going to shit. Make it happen and It appears we'll back you

!raptor

Go for it

Im prety sure it will be unanimus. Go for it

Ricardo Miguel Pereira da Silva

Don’t know the building codes across the pond but try a 50y metal roof. At least have the new roof slope away from the house.

Tefler Fan 007

Yeah the roof does have a slight incline to it, it's not completely flat.

Tefler

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! I like to think I've been reasonably stoic about all the nightmares with the builders, but it's only because we know couples that have dealt with far worse. One guy I know had a big falling out with their builders who ripped them off for about £40k. Near the end, after a big argument, the builder and the guys with him went to the bathroom at my friend's house and pissed over everything. Just animals some of these people... seriously.

Tefler

Just a suggestion. If you can, have them put on a sloped roof instead of a flat one. Even if it is at 1/4" per foot. At least the water will roll off.

Cignal

Don't have a problem, this sounds fine. Dealing with the same thing myself, except it's self inflicted - up tracking down a leak in 30yo roof found & fixed, but I missed a joist and stepped through a section of ceiling - got to pull down 2 sheets of drywall to replace as the break because it went across a seam!!

Although I will say I got my hopes up that this was the release and not just an update. Then they were further dashed upon hearing your going though this crap with a contractor. FeelsBadMan

Matt

Tef, I really feel for you and your family and I'm completely in favor with your plan to bill now and complete the chapter when you are over the crisis in your kitchen and can get the time to write without having all that disruption to contend with. My very best wishes for a speedy and 100% satisfactory long term resolution to all the remedial work and also to your family as you all have to endure this major disruption in your lives. Please take your time and get back to normal before you continue with the TSM saga.

BrianM

I wouldn't mind "pre-paying" a chapter. I used to work in home remodeling/ rebuilding. You might not believe some of the horror stories I've had to help fix. There are some really really shady people out there. So yeah by all means charge for a couple or 3 chapters.

Matt

Agreed, go for it. We can deal. I changed my max from one a month to two so you can collect.

PLRus--Founding member of the TSM F5 club.

Good for me

I’m in.

All good mate

So the real question, this second paid post, will it include spoilers? ;~) (though, I'm assuming it will largely be a blank page with 144 at the top)

!raptor

That won’t work for Tefler. He needs to release Paid for by Patrons posts to get paid for them, so one will be tonight- if not two - and the same next month.

Evan

Go for it man. Get that roof fixed!

Andrei

Go for it

Sure

Upgrading my tier to help!

Arthur Bridges

Definately Behind you, feel free to charge early :)

Got you 💜👍

Ok

i have been unpopular for suggesting kicking in early before . you have given far more than my monies worth and wouldn't mind at all . add me to the list in favor .

Oldwood

You are supported. I’m fine with it. Go ahead and do it. Most importantly, please take care of yourself and your family. What we can do to help, we are happy to do so.

Evan

Do whatever you need Tef, we're behind you.

David

Hey, that’s fine. I know how you feel, I just had a similar situation. I hired someone to help me out with my garage, ok it’s my man cave. But anyway long story short, he f… me over, so now I’m doing it myself. It’s funny, no not really, but hay I’m learning A lot. So I’ll just say I’m with you.

I'm good with that...

I’d happily pay a second time to help

Zachary Hoover

That sounds incredibly frustrating. If charging for a second chapter in advance will help, go for it.

I agree

JAG53

Life happens and I have no problem with your idea. Go for it. Hope it makes the difference.

Nonconformist

All good Tef. Hope everything finally works out.

Chefy

Been there before, completely understand, wish I had had something like patreon back then. I'm in

Fuck yeah, send me more TSM! I'll pay triple for triple chapters too.

Ok by me.

Marcus Riccitti

Go for it!

Akamai Kekoa

I’m in! Do what you need to do

Got my trust, good luck and God be with you.

Your plan works for me. Do it.

Walter Henderson

Upgraded membership for this month to help out😁.

Tefler Fan 007

Do what you need to do.

No worries

Trust go for it

I'm good with that. Hope you get your roof fixed soon

Akram123456

Whatever you need, take it.

JP

That is fine with me. Good luck!

Shinlocke

You've been nothing but reliable for years now do what you gotta do man I trust ya

Adam Brindley

Do it

I don't have problem with your suggestion. Been where you are so know how you feel

Deryck Stevenson

It's always a hit and miss thing finding people who do good work on cars and houses. Deal with that first. As much I will go through withdrawal and into depression. Real life comes first. Deal with that, as they say "Happy wife = Happy Life". LOL, mind you never seemed to work for me. Hope things get better for you soon.

David Brock

I'm good with that. No roof = no more TSM, lol. Good luck with the repairs.

Frostfyre

Do your deal bro. I'm down like 4 flat tires. Get your house fixed.

JollyRodger

Absolutely. Hope it helps!

Bob Laughner

I am fine with it. Good luck with the renos. Sucks it happened.

The way things are now, it's hard to find good help, let alone get the job done right. Who thinks a flat roof on a home is a good idea? Not me!!!! But without seeing pictures how it looks and what was done?!?! My own house has really slow slope roof. Makes for a tiny attic space to be in. I don't have shingles but rolled out stuff. Still, it's not flat.

Joe Waldvogel

As a wise man once said, "Shut up and take my money!"

For the simple fact you left it up to us. Shows your character. I'm fine with whatever you decide.

Pat White

I doubt that Patreon will care as long as they get their cut.

Cignal

Sounds good to me. Sorry you have had such bad luck with builders.

Do it

Giseler

Sounds fine to me.

Do it!

kenny taylor

Sounds fine to me. Supporting you is why most of us signed on.

Hayden Linder

I’ve got no problem with it

Do what you need to do man, its not that big a deal. My brother just went through a year and a half of kitchen/bathroom repair nightmares so I get where you're coming from. Post what you can, we'll be here

Metheus108

Tef, I don’t mind at all but am concerned about someone crying foul to Patreon and you having your account suspended or cancelled. I think the safer bet is asking for folks that can, to increase their donation and you do your half a chapter post and collect what you can that way. I just increased my donation. Good luck either way

Chicken

Happy to pre-pay for a chapter. All good! Best of luck with the new-new-builder.

Big D Daddy O

Yes. Its good. How is your lovely English fall going besides the leaking roof?

Ken House

Just replaced my roof because of a small leak/repair that was done wrong long ago. I'm ok if you ding me now with the promise of a good chapter in the next few weeks.

All good

STLMHARTS

Go for it. Family first

Keen to help.

rich ed

No problem. You’ve been pretty good at posting regularly and sometimes real life just intrudes.

Robert Kerr

No problem with me. Anything to help out my favorite author.

DrShinryuu

Sounds fine. Good luck and I’m disheartened in the builders on the other side of the pond. ( I’m a building trade too, thrice over)

Dracon

Do what you need to do. I don't mind paying up front for a chapter.

JP

Go for it.

What ever helps. I’m good with it. If you want to charge for two today go for it

!raptor

No problem. Having had roof problems in the past I feel your pain. Nothing compares to a good roof over your head.

I'm good with it. I just hope you can get them done and delivered with all the distractions. But winter is coming and you gotta have a place to live!! Big rocks first...

CJ Mora

Likely half of 143. It was what most of us were expecting to begin with.

Jedi Khan

You do what you need to do. Family and the roof over their noggins come first... always.

Are we getting content tonight or not?

Justin Webb

Good here get the work done and I will wait for the next chapter

Just a thought. About 15 years ago I had trouble with all sorts of leaks with my flat roof. Got so fed up in the end that a had a fibreglass flat roof put in place. 25 years guarantee and virtually any colour you want. Cheaper house insurance because of the guarantee. Insurance companies don't like flat roofs generally. 15 years now and not a single leak and we've had some pretty bad storms down here in Cornwall over the years.

Dave Tamares-Little

I’m fine with supporting you with an advance. In fact I’m going to increase my monthly contribution just to help out a bit more this month. I would recommend being more realistic with your pace given recent history. The first half of 143 now will be followed with the other half on October 31. The first half of 144 will come November 30, and second half of 144 on December 31. The next time you’re going to see money will be for the first half of 145 on January 31 2022. Everyone wishes you could write faster but we know the pace isn’t entirely up to you. Life keeps happening and if it isn’t the roof it will be some other chaos. We’re all in the same boat.

AzureReader

Good for me.

that's fine, that storm was no joke, I am south west London area

Just updated my payment to help you out

Yammy

Totally fine with this

Dracosno

As a long time patreon, i say go for it. It is pretty cool how this platform works!

sweaty bastard

wait... we're still getting some content tonight, right?

alan johnson

Whatever. You could also have a dental disaster next month as well, to delay the first half of the chapter further. Strangely, such disasters made no impact during the first few years of the story. You explained it well recently as writer's block (as I long suspected, as this story is now really hard to write), plus I think you only really have time to write at the end of each month, and if something happens then, then you don't have time. Okay, I get it, and I sympathize. I wish you well, but am not going to sugar-coat it. I look forward to you delivering the story you want to write, when you are able to write it.

John Jameson

Works for me, hope all goes well with the repairs!!!!!

I'm happy to go along with this. Worth the money.

Dave Tamares-Little

still a great value for my entertainment dollar, go for it

alan johnson

No problem. No worries. The more I get the more I am happy to pay for it.

Antoine Scrivener

Sounds fine to me. Hope you get a permanent fix.

Helel0

Go for it! I was born and lived in New Mexico off and on for a total of about 20 years and flat roofs are common. Pueblo style architecture, you know. They are almost always a colossal pain. Good luck.

Oof. I've had to deal with roofing issues on a house and those can be a huge pain in the ass. Do what you need to do, from the other comments your community is behind you. Get it handled and we will all eagerly anticipate the next installments.

Josh

If you own a home these things happen. Do what needs to be done.

K A Rodgers

Antoine Scrivener

Look after your family and home. Good luck.

Bob Cat

Fix the roof. Can't have your mind on that and not writing. Why are so many builders F***wits? Is just that anyone can say they're a builder and most don't know shit about what the job really entails?

VycronDyz

Thanks for the heads up and good luck with the renovation.

Jeff P

I am ok with that

Thanks for the update Tefler, I don't mind helping at all. I am good with whatever you decide :)

I have no problem with this plan. Nothing on my end will be hurt and I only wish the best for you. Go ahead.

Hunterspride

Go for it

Sharief Allie

I don't mind at all. Go for it.

Wilfredo Santa Maria

Go for it! You’ve earned it!

Sounds good to me, I trust that you won't scam us :) Can someone send me a link to this rumoured Discord though?

DefinitelyMaybeNotHuman

No sweat, our fantasy should not supercede reality.

You've got a proven track record for releasing chapters. I'm not opposed to an early charge.

Ivy Veritas

Sounds good to me

dakota downey

Personally - I have no objections for an extra payment to help with you roof. Please help yourself.

Who Me

Go for it. A bit like flat rooves, i know you're not going to slope off

doofus67

Not a problem for me. Been there, done that and it sucks. While mine wasn't quite that bad, I completely understand.

oh no you're gonna charge me $4 instead of $2. Whatever will I do? /s Seriously I had no intention of cancelling so do what you need to do, that sounds awful.

TheEvilSmurf42

I'm cool with it

Emanuel Landsman

Absolutely fine with me. Love hard work you put into every chapter so I don't mind a little extra up front. Heck, your roof story was almost like a small story in itself. 😁

Keller

Sounds good take care of your writing environment first

Go ahead.

James Hârn

I have no objections. Like others, I have had issues with a leaking roof. Mine was finally resolved after three different attempts and $13,000 US. Good luck!

I am ok with the extra charge, gotta pay for the new roof!

Idaho Spud56

I am OK with your plan.

Steve Chatterton

No worries if it is a little late now and then.

nogare321

Go for it shit happens.

I second this

Fan for years won t stop now.

We are all Tefler-maniacs, and zany to the max. We all have your back!!!!👍👍

Tefler Fan 007

Fine by me!

Big Orca

I'm game, shit just happens sometimes. Sometimes we all just need a little slack and a little help

Make it so!

Hendrix Morton

Whatever will help you out is fine with me!!!!!!

Arrowglass

Wait so when could 143A be released?

Evan

Sounds fair, more story!!😂

Ian Dahl

Go ahead man, everyone needs help now and then, we'll help out a little more for this month. It's the least we can all do :-)

Totally charge us. Just give us the story!

Evan

I definitely support you and your family in your time of need. On another note, I would suggest that you check your electrical in the kitchen. If water was pouring in like you say, then turning off all your power to the area so you can open things up to look for water damage could be very beneficial and save you a whole lot of problems later on. I'm an electrician and see it all the time. People always forget about the electrical that their appliances are plugged into and end up paying a hefty cost. Be save and best wishes.

Mark Kowitz

You need Dana to do your building!! I do not think anyone will begrudge you splitting the next chapter into two and then doing a double length chapter next. That should keep you on the right side of the T's and C's.

IanBio

👍

That's probably why Tefler asked ahead of time. If someone complains, he has this post to point at with all of us saying "Go for it."

Jedi Khan

so to summerize. We get half of 143 now... but pay for 2 chapters? Then by the end of oct we shud have part 2 of 143 and all of 144? but they wont be charged? This is so you get 2 chapters of funds now to pay for your repairs. Then you can get back to writing more frequently and start feeding our insatiable hunger for more story? Im down, affording life is hard enough with a regular job. Get the roof sorted, supported you long enough this isnt anything to worry about. Just for the love of god get it done right this time 🤣

Go ahead.

Alli good

No problem. Get it done

Yes, by all means, go ahead. Also, if you start a go fund me, I'd be happy to donate to the kitchen roof fund!

Megan Donahue

No worries, take care of your house. That way you can write those chapters stress free. Looking forward to them!

Sounds great, let's do it

Ky0den

Happy to help, keep the chapters coming. 4 dollars is not going to break me this month 😁. My last house had skylights that leaked and I was so happy to sell that house.

Tefler Fan 007

I'm in, no issue with your ask. Good Luck

Go for it.

Not problem

Tef you have been nothing but honest in all your endeavors. Do what you need to do and you can get some satisfaction if you have a dishonest contractor get on the wrong side of John 😁

Wayne Cochrane

Go for it.

James Hepburn

To clarify, are you asking if we care if you charge us for both 143 and 144 ahead of time? If so idc, I know they’ll be done eventually, what I really want to know is if we’re getting half of 143 tonight or if that’s not finished yet

Fine by me, I usually read them every three months anyway

Go for it

SuperAzureReader

No worries, take a deep breath, deal with what you need to deal with and we will be happy to front you the coin :). Get yourself in a good place and find some joy in the job!

Yes. Go for it. I agree.

Henrie Timmers

I'm fine with that Tef. We are all here to support you!

No problem.

Jd

No problem here. However I don't know how Patreons terms of service work. I'd hate for someone to report it and endanger your account. Perhaps a Patreon pledge with an additional reward or something? I'm completely fine paying for two chapters just hate for it to get you taken down.

Chris Forbes

Go for it but get both done next month no missing.

Grimlakin

would be just fine i would say? i mean you gotta have a place to stay at!.

Go for it, I don't mind, we all need some help sometime

Daniel Watkins

Do what you need to do mate. Im happy to wait

Fine by me

Cignal

Just release a shorter chapter because of real life and call it a day? I won't mind and I doubt most others will. I don't recall ever signing a deal were it said a minimum length per chapter or release time. Do what you have to do. If our favourite author has a mental breakdown because of a kitchen and stops writing completely we would all be devastated.

Go ahead it's no biggie

Christopher White

If it helps you out Tefler, I doubled my donation for you and your family. I hope you get your house leak proof and a contractor that knows what they are doing.

Anthony Kester

Do what you need to do. We'll be here...

Ironage Photography

It's no problem at all take your time tef

Two chapters are always welcome!

No problem

THodge

No problem! Do what you have to do. All I ask is keep the story as exciting as you have. You have a real talent! Kudos to you sir.

raymond sisko

Fix your house. I know what it’s like to have a home needing repairs and how it can drive you nuts . I can wait for chapters while you’re getting it fixed.

No problem get the house fixed

jerry661

Fine by me!

steve angel

like mike holmes says, if your gonna do it, do it right.

Jeff Combes

Go for it dude.

Caleb Jamison

Good plan and I will stand behind you!

PwdRacing

Okay, couple things. First roof, the flat roof was a mistake. Not just because the builder fucked up but because it's a flat roof. Flat roofs are common in my area, but insurance companies will only cover a certain style of flat roof because of how easily they can leak and/or be damaged by storms. If you get a house that has the wrong kind of flat roof, you might not get insurance to cover it. Better to go with a pitched roof in general. Second, the double posts tonight. So how is this going to work? Half of 143 and half of 144 now? Or just half of 143 and nothing on the second post? Having half of 144 when 143 isn't even done doesn't make much sense. Either way, I echo the sentiment around here. Do what you need to do.

Looking forward to when you can devote the time you need to continue without these things coming up.

Jeff Combes

Do it. Fuck it, do 5.

Will H-P

Sounds good here! Hope it all gets sorted soon!

Garrett Mooneyhan

Works for me 👍

Sounds like a decent idea, do it.

dan davis

I can relate to all this running around builders/contractors and feel the pain. Please fix your home first Tefler. We can wait a bit.

Zeroxis

I support you on this brother ... stress will derail a good story, and I am very much looking forward to the next chapters ... get your house fixed so you can be the best you for your family and legions of fans

It's approved by me. Hope everything goes smoothly and fast with repair. And with chapters 😉

James Straub

Sounds like a plan

thomas rodrian

It’s all good for me. Patreon is supposed to support art and the artists I like. If you can’t write because of an unlivable house, we all suffer. Do what you need to do in order to get your sanity back again. ❤️

Laurel Hodghead

Do it!! We’re here with you for the long haul.

Bruce Rauhe

All good with me, sort your stuff out, less worry hopefully equals more output 👍🏻🙂

Spartan 52

Do it!

DeyCal1

Go for it. I know the second will be coming

Do it, every one of us here to support you and the TSM fam!

Charge me for each, I'm fine with that. Release it whenever you are able to do so. Best of luck!

It’s all good man. You have given us a good story. Do what you need to.

Whatever works and is less stress for you! Take care of yourself and family!

Mark Adkins

Do what you need to do Tef, we will support you :)

It wouldn't be that different than when you've made paid posts that were incomplete chapters, and just didn't do another paid post until you finished the first one. So go for it.

Jeff

Greetings from Bavaria! I am ok with the idea.

Fine with me. Good luck with your kitchen. Your horror story with builders beats all of mine. I still feel like I am getting a great story at a bargain price. Thanks for not abandoning your epic saga.

Tefler fan

It's a dollar each, go ahead killer

Richard

Go for it.

Brian

Sounds like a plan to me.

No worries. Love the story line, so whatever works to keep you (and the story) going.

Rest assured sir. Do what you gotta do. We can wait for a quality product.

Just hope you add another 50k words to both chapters. ;)

Skycrane

Go for it.

Steve

Ok, go ahead.

Zankriger

Do what you need to Tefler, hope it all works out

No problems here. Go for it. I'll still be here.

Dark Storymaker

I am very appreciate the update a lot. Thank you.

MVFast

I am ok with it for my account

Cornbread

Go for it, glad to be able to help

Works for me, happy to do my bit to get your house back as you need it.

Adam Palmer

Not a problem here Tef. Do what you need to do to have a safe home environment for the family. I will support whatever you need to do.

GDay (FMS)

Go for it. If a couple bucks from all of us can help you get your house in order, least we can do.

James Glass

Listen your first responsibility is to your family and your home is their castle. Do what you need to do to fix this problem once and for all we can all understand that whatever you do you need to do full stop. You’ve never charged us when you easily could have in the past so in my eyes you’ve earned our trust so crack on with however your going to do the next few chapters ok tefler.

Jim lynch

Works for me. I'm cool with it.

Godzilla511

You've dealt with us straight for years Tef. Go ahead and run the charge.

Morningfrost

No problem for me. Go right ahead. Btw, I have those windows in my roof - holes in roof? Bad idea. Let’s see, 12 year old house, apparently installed incorrectly. Both needing all new interior finish.

DCM

Do what you need to I’m good with an extra charge this month friend

rmccurdy

Fine with me! Plus I'm excited for what's happening next. Feel like we've been waiting for this nebula safari since about chapter 80. I had similar issues in my previous house mostly thanks to a "low angle roof" Luckily it was over an enclosed porch and not the kitchen, otherwise things would have been worse. Still had to eventually tear it all down and replace the roof though.

Dave Barrack

In for a penny, in for a pound. I have no qualms with a post dated chapter.

Do it.

MVFast

Go for it

Go for it :)

Can you get the current builder to help file a suit for incompetence

James Mayer

pretty sure the vast majority of your supporters are *more* than happy to help out however they can with your house woes. I feel your pain; have been there myself.

darkuncle

do what you have to do, sorry i am not close. I could have taken care of the issue for you.... good luck and thank you for the update.

Taco1085

Go ahead and make as many charged post as you need even if there is no chapter or half chapter attached.

Greeps

Happy to pay for each chapter regardless of delivery times. No freebies…sounds like you could use the £ anyway. Take whatever time you need Tef.

I think everyone here has chosen to support you in the hopes of seeing more. If this helps that then I think we are all for that. I know I am.

NATHAN MEDEIROS

Yes. Please do the 2 chapter posts this month with delivery in October. If you support please like this post for easy record keeping.

Michael

Thanks for the communication I am happy with helping out.

Alice

No problem at all!

Wozza

Bumped my tier. Best wishes!

Brian Budell

100% agree with everyone else so far...

Paul Mansur

We have all had issues like this in our lives. I have no issue.

Doug Hunter

Do it.

RiTECH

Works for me as well. I know the stress from having roof issues.

No problem here. Do what you need to.

Eric Moon

Not a problem. I would gladly support

No problem

Forbsey

I mean, I originally signed up for 2 smaller chapters a month, instead of the roughly 1 long one you've been doing. The way I see it, you've been getting half the money you should have been. Go double this time, and best of luck, Tefler!

ShadowOfValor

It's fine with me Tef. Those builders are assholes and I hope you get everything fixed soon. Best Wishes. :)

ReeceM

No issues from me

You’re good Tef, get that stuff fixed before it becomes more of a problem.

Do what you gotta do. Real life comes first.

Sure, it's ok by me

Ty Wudtke

Works for me. Go ahead!

happy to help out

Mjk154

Sounds good. Glad we can help in some way.

James Locknane

Stuff happens and it’s not like you haven’t been decent in your dealings with us. Let’s do this! Roof for tef! Might try a go fund me as well if people want to donate separately

Dennis Aston

Tefler, I have absolutely no problem with that. Fix your house. Family is of upmost importance.

Works for me Tef. Understand how bad it can get and you have always done right as far as I am concerned.

Bro. Do it. And that reminds me, been meaning to up my level of support, check if you published ebooks since I looked last

Rurik

Yeah I will support it

Works for me

James Mayer

Not a problem Tef, sort that stuff out. I can pay now and read later.

go ahead, loving every bit so far

Nyx Midnight

Same sentiment as the rest so far, go for it.

izgnanik

Do it.

Kyle Oathout

Fuck those builders, dude. Go for it! I'll gladly help out.

MightyMackinac

Works for me, your story is worth every cent. Best wishes on the home build, it can be a pain.
