Thanks to a contribution by Liehtr, I was able to commission, among other things, the following piece.
The artist in question, one mickytaka558, is extremely competent and well worth your money if you are looking for portrait work.
I’m a bit on fire when it comes to writing today, so expect more stuffs later on.
The Editing Gang is on the case.
Mostly just to prove once again to Nemrut I can crank 11k in a single day, lol. Vigil’s trolling is rubbing off on me.
Also interested in feedback on this chapter when it hits.
UPDATE: NPC200 saved this chapter. I am merely a moron.
Through my own stupidity, when I was recreating the Cerberus Files, I seem to have deleted my chapter on Batarian Psychology.
And I have no backups.
It will probably be some time before I get around to doing the batarians, as they were pretty depressing to write about. I may restart from scratch with the quarians, with the time frame sometime after Shepard’s death and before her resurrection, and then the krogan, and get back to the batarians at a later date and incorporate the changes from TWCD.
I will be doing at least the outlining of the Cerberus Files : Black Ops soon, covering the Nightwind, the Deathwatch, the Group of Zero, and maybe the Rememberance Dancers and the Volus Defense Force. I particularly want to write up the sort of shit the asari and turians are doing since I’ve only hammered away at how fucked the SA is, and — no shit — they’re not the worst things going on.
I am also reluctantly beginning to think the Elcor are also not dirty. Someone convince me why I am wrong 😀
I sent an email out to the people who asked about such a thing.
Additionally, I have added a ‘donate’ button (below the forums login). This money will be used to purchase various art for the series.
I am going to take a nap.
I feel like doing so, although I have some running around to do today. Hoping to have something ready to go late today or by Sunday.
I’m still replotting some things in the outline so don’t expect 10k a day blasts anytime soon.
I’m also thinking of adding a ‘donation’ button to defray the cost of paying for related art. I was thinking of having a series of facial sketches done for most or all of the OC’s of importance, but the cost for such a thing is around $40 a pop from most of my favored starving artists.
Considering my finances , I can’t really afford that kind of outlay any time soon. Comment if you think this is worth it or not.
I had teeth extracted last week — looks like more problems with the crown I had done. Had another one extracted yesterday, appearantly the crack in the crown let the roots get infected, even though there is nothing wrong with the tooth itself.
*sighs* So that’s another $1400 down the drain. On top of helping to pay for my mother’s cancer, fixing problems with toilets, water heaters and the calipers on my brakes, I estimate I’ve gone through something like $25,000 since December. Ugh.
Given that, I’m not sure how much time will be devoted to writing for the next few weeks, as I’ll need to put in some extra hours. I did a bit of Naruto writing but only because I’m still having a block on the next part of TWCD.
It’s coming together but the outline I had worked out is not really where I want it so I’m doing some work on that.
Since I wasn’t feeling well, LuckyFK decided to surprise me with some more Trellani, which is (as usual for him) awesomely done. Between that and enough vicodin to bring down Big Boss, I think I’ll be okay to try and write something tomorrow.
Enjoy 😀
After hours of hardcore tinkering, I finally managed to bounce an import of OSABC to Archive of Our Own, although still covered in shitty formatting.

Anyone active on AO3 who has the time to edit the headers and footers, set tags, that kind of thing, please let me know.
I’ll add ATTWN and TWCD as time permits. In other news, I had two teeth extracted today (thank god for emergency dentists) and I’m pretty dopey.

I’ve added the ability for people to register with the site, as well as a simple forum for asking direct questions.
I’ve put out the latest chapter, for reasons described in the authors note. Going forward I will send out a list of who besides Liethr will have editing rights to the document and put it out two days before I submit it to FF.net.
Anyone who is familiar with how to transfer documents from FF.net to AO3 should comment.
As an aside, I’ve strongly upgraded the security of the site, but I always implore anyone who registers anywhere online to use a password other than the one they use for banking or other important websites.
I had a spate of people who decided, instead of improving and editing the document, to trash paragraphs and insert moronic images into the work.
I’ll provide an edit link for the next chapter only to people I know who specifically request access. As usual, morons are why we cannot have nice fucking things.
I’ll be putting out the chapter after repairs in a bit. Thank you to those who did help with editing and ideas.
