Hope you all enjoy it.
Well it’s about time
Right now, the next chapter is with the Editing Gang and I am finally working on several other pieces.
Hopefully, out this weekend. We’ll see. It is not as long as other chapters, but I think it’s interesting enough for the length.
Haven’t done much with the site recently… times have been somewhat straining, both financially and emotionally. I’ve never had a good update schedule but I’m aware one update a year isn’t a good look.
Depending on how things go over the next year, I could push out things faster or struggle with writer’s block and other issues until November.
Thank all of you for patience and understanding.
New chapter is up
Went ahead and pulled the trigger early.

As with a lot of TWCD, there’s some significant alterations from canon. I don’t do this just to do a ‘fix fic’ type of thing, but to address serious structural issues in the games that have long bothered me.
Shepard’s return being so low-key and unimportant in the game was one thing but how she was dealt with by the Council truly boggled the mind. Anderson’s reactions (and Udina’s) were also … off. Wrong.
I don’t usually criticize Bioware on actions they took in making the game work that induce plot holes — some things are by nature of gameplay unavoidable. But it felt lazy to treat her return as a button press and a meme about shops on the Citadel.
We’ll see if I made this any better. As for the next chapter, we’ll have to see if work is as calm next week as it was this week.
Between the combination of Father’s Day and Juneteenth I probably won’t get any writing done this weekend, or RP. But I am always open to questions, either here, on my Discord, or on FF.net via private message.
Two things: Chapter upcoming and new video
Work has been absolutely hellish for the past few months, but we do have some progress being made.
First, I did another worldbuildy video thing, which is slightly less incoherent than the last one.
Second, I added some files. Xabiar’s Citadel series is done, as well as a couple of updates to Bird of Hermes and the Rachel Florez STG file.
Right now the next chapter of TWCD is in with the EG after an extensive rewrite, and it should be out by this weekend or maybe before.
New TWCD Chapter Plus updates to the Citadel Files
Due to a happy coincidence of timing, I got the next TWCD chapter published as well as Xabiar’s new Citadel Files : Military out the door today.
We are having a PV-RPG session today from 2 PM to 6 PM CST, which will result in that being put into an online chapter along with Bright’s next happy discoveries.
I’m also in the process of getting bids and estimates for the next set of artwork, as well as waiting for my Patreons to determine what oneshots they want to see. Later on this month we’ll start to see more of the stories from the Fanfic WriteCon showing up as well.
MOAR NEW CHAPTERS AND STUFF
You’ve probably already noticed the chapter updated on the 30th of August. Another chapter (currently at 15k) is with the Editing Gang now in heavy edits, and the chapter after that (3k) is being worked on.
Xabiar (of the X-COM Files) is working on a new document, and so is Jacob, to finish out his outstanding work on the Volus. I’ve also finally got the outline done on the next Tech Guide chapter — and wonder of wonders, maybe even an update to Lions.
We’ll see.
No, I’m not dead yet.
The next chapter of TWCD just went to the Editing Gang.
I haven’t written much (and thrown out a lot of what I have written) due to some issues: back pain, wrist pain, the same old shit.
It has occurred to me I’ve been working on this mess since 2012, which is impressive in how lazy I am. I already talked about this in another message, but I’ve gotten PM’s asking if I’m alive and what not.
There’s times I just don’t write, and I should probably drop messages here more often but… a lot of times when I get home, I just want to decompress.
Anyway. The Editing Gang says the chapter sucks even more than the last one, so no telling when they’ll get done fixing it. I’ll see if I can get one more out the door before October.
New chapter of TWCD… with bonus
It took a bit longer than I would have liked, but I finally got it done.
I’ll be pretty busy the next few weeks, but I hope to get one more chapter out (6k so far) and most of new Volus and Drell material going.
As for the new chapter, well… did you really think it would be that easy to be rid of krogan Dr. Doom? LOL.
The Angstrofuck is complete.

Enjoy, my friends. Thanks to the Editing Gang, and for all of you who read and review.
