2024-09-05 03:46:44 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been awhile since I posted the first two chapters of this. It's a story I'd like to continue, when I have time. If you take the time to read, I'd appreaciate it if you'd let me know if the interaction between the characters seems real, or for...

2024-09-04 00:08:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe first indication that the shit hit the fan was that Bob sent out an emergency signal, requesting reinforcements. That caused the bears and I to break out into a run, resulting in us reaching the end of the tunnel before the r...
2024-09-01 22:36:08 +0000 UTC View PostI expected the relentless Antithesis attack to peter out after a little while. What I didn’t expect was for it to end suddenly, when a wave of gray liquid, multi-colored lasers, and arrows with fulton balloons strapped to them smashed into the r...
2024-08-30 23:57:46 +0000 UTC View PostNow that I'm not doing TBoB and DD back to back, I have a little more time for my other projects. I updated WWotWW, so end of the first chapter flows better, and added a second chapter for people to enjoy.

2024-08-25 01:39:42 +0000 UTC View PostAlthough I thought I could get my troops up and running within a few minutes, I quickly found that pulling armor piercing quills embedded in solid metal was more than a little difficult. When I realized how long it was taking me to remove the quil...
2024-08-21 23:04:29 +0000 UTC View PostNumbers are probably going in the postscript, since Teddy doesn't want to know small numbers, but some readers do.
It took a while to find our way back to Jesse and Whisperer. The tunnel system was extremely complica...
2024-08-18 22:37:10 +0000 UTC View PostDespite the warning, I was nearly caught out of position as the tunnel was completely filled with antithesis. A wave of Model Threes, pressed together so tightly they were practically trampling each other in the frenzy to advan...
2024-08-15 23:01:19 +0000 UTC View PostI'm still on a break from DD. I tried to get a chapter done, and just couldn't get it finished, but should be able to round it out for the next release. In the mean time, my discord chat and I did a bit of world building, and came up with a story ...

2024-08-10 12:48:14 +0000 UTC View PostSo, for those that haven't seen my RR page, I haven't released today's TBoB chapter.
I spent 12+ hours yesterday writing, and couldn't get a full chapter done. I released a couple shout outs, but no chapter.
I'm still working on the ...

2024-08-03 23:06:52 +0000 UTC View PostJust to let people here know, I will be taking a small hiatus from DD.
Although I WAS planning on taking a break in the next few weeks, I wasn't planning for it to happen so soon. Truth is, I've been feeling a little burned out, and I just ...
2024-08-02 15:47:30 +0000 UTC View PostIt only took me a couple seconds to get a hold of Whisperer and Tina, it was as simple as connecting to one of the bears and conveying what I knew. Contacting Broodmother and Angel-Eyes took significantly longer. Since I didn...

Slightly shorter because of it.

2024-07-30 01:50:47 +0000 UTC View PostAlthough I’d seen images I didn’t realize exactly how uniform, and confusing, the tunnel network actually was. Even with Bandit leading the way towards the nearest hollow, I decided early on to keep a small copy of the map up in my augs at all...

Just so you know I didn't forget to post the chapters yesterday and today... What happened is my Chromebook failed while I was writing the latest TBoB chapter.
Unfortunately, the device seems to be completely kaput, and it'll ...
