I still am not 100% comfortable with it, but I’m sure the gang will make it fantastic. It’s a talky non action chapter.

Down to due to back issues
Not sure when I will be back into writing, still working with chiropractor.
If you are looking for something to read, Aberron updated his Illusive Man story not too long ago.
Working on my other project
If you’ve put a watch on my stories you know I’ve been updating the Naruto stuff instead of the Mass Effect stuff.
Two reasons for that. I’m still in the process of doing the research on the Drell, and a book I ordered is held up due to utter fucking bullshit so I’m forced to wait.
The other reason is that the next chapter of TWCD is important, and I’m not willing to put together a bunch of filler scenes and wonky dialogue when I’m not sure how I want it to feel. I want to get it right, and until I can I’m not just happy with a token effort to advance the story. I’ve done that a couple of places in both OSABC and ATTWN and while it got the job done it weakened the overall result.
I’m aware many of you aren’t fans of Naruto, and even if you were most people gave up when the series creator fucked it up waaaay worse than the ending of ME3. So don’t think you have to read or review my stuff if it isn’t your cup of tea.
That being said, all interest in the work is appreciated. The DLP Gang have a particularly dim view of most Naruto fics and I am going to get a positive reaction out of them to show them the fandom isn’t dead yet as long as people with a brain write it instead of yaoi-obsessed idiots with a fixation on mPreg and foxy accessories.
In other news, my back is doing better, my mom’s hair is finally coming back in, work is still crazy but is doing better and nothing horrible has happened to me (yet) (knock on wood). It’s a very crappy time of the year for me, but I’ll be okay.
Updates and the lack thereof.
You probably noticed my writing spree this time around for this part of the year has been Naruto focused, rather than on ME.
I’m having some writer’s block on how exactly to proceed in a meaningful way, but still need to distract myself a bit.
TWCD and the rest of the ME Stuff will continue, do not worry.
Still here
I’m around, just not in a real good mood due to the time of year. I’ll try to do an update on something this weekend if I feel like.
Thankless Tasks : Edits on AO3, FF.net and Rewards. Also status update.
The sheer scope of what I am attempting to do is becoming literally unmanageable. Therefore, in the interest of using some of these goddamned Steam coupons, I have had an epiphany.
See some game on Steam you’d love to have but don’t have $55 to fucking waste, or your wife/parents/college debt won’t let you? Have some spare time you would be willing to expend in mindshatteringly boring tasks in exchange for said games?
Contact me. I have put off cleaning up and editing a number of documents, and I literally need someone to clean up the OSABC version on AO3 and get some of the other works on there.
Good with art? Same deal. (I’m looking at you, LuckyFK. I have a literal muscle-woman that needs art, she makes your ripped up Shepard look like an anorexic.)
As for the Great Work ™:
- The next chapter of TWCD is … sort of written but still in very heavy first-stage revisions. I have to be careful how I do this so it doesn’t come off as silly….while being completely fucking silly. I also have to come up with associated memestorm for the aftermath. Beyond that the next few chapters are outlined but I may have to revise them.
- The Engineer’s Guide to Oh God What the Fuck is proceeding well, although I’m going to have to dig out some Conspiracy X and Shadowrun sourcebooks and medical texts and fully crib together my half-ass theories on augmetics. Most of my bionetic stuff is original, while the nanonics is a mix of ConX Atlanean tech and stuff I liked in the Neutronium Alchemist. My cyberware is a blatant homage / ripoff of Shadowrun style cybernetics with a touch of Deus Ex and Megatraveller thrown in, so it literally conflicts itself…and of course despite tossing out the word several times in the game, the Mass Effect canon is completely worthless in defining ANYTHING about the state of cyberware. Say it with me … Goddamn it, Bioware
- Ahern says the next chapter of Lions is halfway done and if I wasn’t such a lazy fucking pile of shit it would have been put out nineteen fucking years ago, or something like that.
- I’ve been working on No Single Raindrop to find some sort of concluding arc to it. Maybe by midyear.
- I’ve done some heavy edits and cleanup to the Encyclopedia Biotica but it’s not published yet. I would love some new ideas for biotic powers.
- I REALLY need to do some minor retcons around the Hanar, as my original design document did not have the Ascendancy so hostile and had the drell as serving as the main line of communication between the Citadel and the Hanar. May need to revisit that before I get too far into the Hanar Cerberus Files.
- Speaking of Cerberus Files, I am thinking of re-writing the Batarian Section to be AFTER the collapse of the Hegemony and the Rise of the Batarian Empire. Thoughts?
- Absolutely no work has been done on the crackfic or happyfic Memories we Forget to Remember. Sorry.
Wong Interviews done
Sort of covering old ground, but also tying things together.
Note: There is only so much bullshit I can tolerate from a game. When you have a bridge over a river blown out from under you causing complete squad wipe, that threshold has been reached.
If X-COM 2 had a CD I would have eaten it by now. 😀
Working on some stuff, since X-COM 2 has even moar bullshiat than the first.
Not ready to start the next Omega piece yet…but between rage-quits after Gold Olympic ADVENT Lancer bullshit teamwipes and “Oh, look, six Heavy MECs and Sectopod flanking me ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME X-COM?!?!” I am working on a couple of pieces.
Two Wong interviews, a new STG Report, and expanding on the Encyclpedia Biotica. I’ll put another post out when they hit FF.net.
X-COM 2 is a very good game but will induce raeg.
Another 12.5k chapter just hit the Editing Gang’s desk.
If you thought part one was bloody and messy….hee.
Depending on how many E-gangers show up tonight, this bad boy probably won’t be ready until Saturday morning. Something cool to read while you eat breakfast maybe. But it might come out tonight.
I am going to collapse into a painball until my back relaxes.
Next Chapter up on FF.net
Finally.
I don’t know how much I can write this weekend, depends on nerve and back pain. I am glad it decided to at least hold off messing up too badly during the holidays, so I got to enjoy them….have to see what happens.
If things go well (i.e., back cooperates) I can try to write up the next chapter and have it done by Sunday for the Editing Gang to make fun of. If not, I will try to turn their latest crazy into another chapter of the crackfic.
