One last chapter for 2023! What should it be?

As I mentioned, with the FF14 story finally finished (that seriously sat at like 90% for almost a year), I'll be finishing off the FE story I was working on before, there's not much left to do on that one, so I'm hoping to have it out very soon.

And that means, after that, I'll be trying my very best to get one last chapter out before the year's end! So, what would your preference be for that?

The next chapter of A Waning Silence? Another one for Bred for Victory? A Robin/Tiki/Say'ri one shot? A Robin/Cordelia/Severa one? Something for TotK? Another FF14 story?

Poll details are here.

[FFXIV] A Realm Repopulated Ch1 (Early Access)

 And now for something completely different!

As I mentioned previously, I've been working on a FE Story for the Discord Collab. It was coming along really well, I was happy with how raunchy it was and was having fun writing it... and then I just kind'a spluttered to a stop working on it, and suddenly its been like pulling teeth getting anything done at all.

So, as something of a palate cleanser, I finished the FF14 story I mentioned in the previous poll that was sitting at 95% complete. I actually wrote a bit more than I'd intended, but still, finished it off this week and weekend. 

Now that I've got that done, and I've got something uploaded again, I'll get back into the FE story, it's almost done and I should get it done in just a few more days(tm). So you can look forward to that too! 

I'll post this publicly next week, until then you can read it here

Thanks, as always, and I hope you're all safe and winding down for the year, for a Merry Christmas (unlike me, my job's filled up so much I can barely even see straight!).

A Waning Silence Ch13 (Public Release)

 


Done and dusted and out for the world to see!

If you read the Early Access version when I initially posted it, I edited and fixed a few things up throughout the week, so hopefully that got more polished as the week went on. If you saw some errors, and especially if you highlighted them to me, they should all be fixed now, so thank you very much for the help! 
 
I also changed the name of Cassandra's skill, after some input and feedback. probably my favourite of them was “Tintinnabulum”, which is absurdly fitting, but not quite romantic enough, so I wound up going with “Resonating Desire” instead. 
 
 Either way, this chapter is a weight off my shoulders, and it's funny- I gave myself this weekend off, not writing anything to get a chance to recharge, and I ended up feeling almost listless, not sure what to fill my time- I've been plugging away at this one for so long that it's strange not to feel the weight of it's progress bearing down on me! 
 
 I wanna do more and follow with the next chapter, but first I think I'll write a very brief little FE story (about 2-4k words) for the FE Lewd Writers server's current collaboration. 
 
So, if you've got some preferences towards one of the FE: Awakening Oyakodon pairings, now is a good time to throw it out to me. So far I'm leaning towards Robin/Tharja/Noire, but I'm willing to be persuaded.
 
 Otherwise, thank you all, as always, and please find the latest chapter here:

A Waning Silence Ch13 (Early Access)

 

Hooooo, this took sooooo long! 

I really should have cut it off and shipped it much earlier, I'm sorry. As you may have guessed from the delay, it's a huge chapter, yet again. It's 2.5 chapters in one... So I guess, if as thanks for waiting all this while, there's a feast for you! And hopefully an enjoyable one!

Ultimately just a case of not wanting to stop it too early, so I could move the plot along, and then not having a good breakpoint, so I just kept going and kept going, and now it's finally, finally finished.

I think it's good, so hopefully you'll agree.

Once again, I stayed up all night to finish this off, so I'll be absolutely useless for work in a few hours, but more importantly, I haven't proof-read or grammar/spelling edited it yet, so I'm sorry if there's some rough segments. I'll try get that done tonight after work, and after I've had some sleep.

Otherwise, please, enjoy!

Chapter 13 is now out on my Patreon. It'll be posted publicly next week.

Minor Update

 

Just a very brief update to assure you that I am still working on the next chapter, I have been doing a lot of writing for it, and it's getting close to completion.
 
I keep going into the end of every week thinking I'll be able to knock it out this weekend, and then wind up not being able to. There's only a few scenes left, so I do imagine I should be able to finish it this weekend though. 
 
Once again, I think it's a case of a chapter that's gotten too big, because there wasn't a good stopping point (at least not with being able to include sex), so it's just expanded and expanded.
 
So hopefully I'll have it up for early access very soon. Sorry about the wait, I know it's dragging on, when I've mostly been good about making progress again.

A Brief Update

 With "A new chapter of Waning Silence" pretty handily winning the previous poll, I've been working on that. However, it's taking a bit of time and there's still more to go, there- so hopefully you'll see that soon.

One of the reasons for the delay is that I recently got commissioned to write some scenes for a character in an Indie HGame called Love's Champion. I wasn't familiar with the game and I've closed off commissions long ago, but it didn't seem like they wanted me to do too much, and writing for a game sounded like fun- so I ended up agreeing.

And then in very typical fashion, I ended up overdoing it, and turning in 17k words of script for what was meant to be a 4k commission.

So, that's done now, and hopefully sometime in the next update I'll see my own writing in the game: https://grimaga.itch.io/loves-champion

(I wrote for Aria, her neediness, and her training scenes)

But now that I've finished up with that, I'm working diligently again on the next chapter of my Danmachi chapter, and the long awaited unveiling of Bell's new title (and a bunch of lewd/sex stuff, but that's less important).

Sorry for the delay, it was the very typical "Oh I'll be able to knock that out in a week... Huh, okay it's taken a lot longer than expected" thing. But work is continuing, and I'll definitely have something out in the near future.

A Waning Silence Ch12 (Early Access)

 Phew, this one took a lot longer and ended up being a lot bigger than anticipated. I suppose that's hardly an unusual scenario with my stories. Either way, I'm pretty happy with how it's turned up, and hopefully you will be too!

The 12th Chapter of "A Waning Silence", this time showcasing Bell's glorious(?) return home to and reunion with the Hestia Familia!

 So, Chapter 12 is now out on my Patreon. It'll be posted publicly next week.

A Waning Silence Ch11 (Public Release)

 And here we are, a week later, and time for the public release! I hope you've been looking forward to it.


The good news is that writing Ch11 was so fun I've gone straight into Ch12 and already made good progress with it, so hopefully(tm) we'll see that done well ahead of schedule too!

In the meantime, Ch11 has now been released to all good bookstores and libraries for hardcopy, but if you'd prefer to read online, links are:

A Waning Silence c11 - Early Access

 Chapter 11 is now complete

My plan to work on a new FE story first got scuttled by being INSPIRED to continue this... and so I wound up pumping out most of Ch11 in just a few days.

Unfortunately finishing a whole new chapter takes longer than finishing off a FE story that's 80% done already, and so I didn't manage to get it out before Tears of the Kingdom dropped... and then my pace dropped dramatically... So, this probably should have been finished a week or maybe two ago... but, it's done!

Chapter 11 is now out on my Patreon. It'll be posted publicly next week.

Robin's "Choose Your Legends" Victory Party

 

Phew? Whatever happened to that "I'll try upload again before Christmas" thing? Well Christmas I guess, I massively underestimated how busy and how distracted I'd be with the end of the year, I barely even got started writing anything until a good distance into Jan. 
 
And then writing went slower than expected since I got busier and then sick, and then all of a sudden I put my Danmachi chapter on hold to work on a Fire Emblem story!?
 
Well, Robin finally won Choose Your Legends! I've been waiting for that for ages, about time for another Robin/Harem story, surely? 
 
(The Danmachi chapter is close to done and I'll work on that as soon as I recover)
 
Anyway, it's a little different to my usual style, but hopefully you find it fun,

Thanks, as always.
