Weekly Update - 11/29/23 (Patreon)

I'm almost done with QT2:18 and it will be done before I go to bed tonight, but it's got a scene in it that's crucial to get right, so I'm spending a little bit more time shaping and polishing it. For those of you outside looking in, the date logline in 2:18 is 1/1/21, meaning the Quaranteam universe is officially starting to bleed into 2021. 2:19 will be the only QT2 chapter for December, and 2:20 will be the only QT2 chapter for January, just because 2:20 will be the wedding, and there's a lot that needs to go on in that chapter, so be prepared for it to be massively stuffed.

I got new chapters of A Pack Of His Own and The Devil's Details off to their respective commissioners, and both commissioners were extremely happy with them, which is good, because both felt a little like wrestling bears trying to get them out. Alphas will have those in December, all subscribers in January and the general public in July. (Yes, the 6 months lead time is still being held.)

There's been lots of Quaranteam business going on the last week, with a few more emails coming in with people proposing that they wanted to do spin-offs, and more than a couple of people asking if I've got a list of all of the various stories coming from other authors. There will be a hub website at some point in the near future, with links to all the publicly available stories, as well as anyone who's got a Patreon and is working on it, but here's the most recent list I have of publicly available QT stories:

Me:

• Quaranteam - Book One
• Quaranteam - Book Two (ongoing)
• Quaranteam - Phil's Tale (ongoing)
• Quaranteam - Piper's Prelude
• Quaranteam - McCallister's Madness
• Quaranteam - Aisling's Antics (starts releasing publicly in a few weeks)

BreaktheBar:

• Quaranteam - North West
• Quaranteam - Florida Man (currently Patreon only)

Agathon:

• Quaranteam - The Upstart's Knight

OtterlyMindblowing:

• Quaranteam - Remote Work

The_Licentious_Laureate:

• Quaranteam: Team Tim

SilverRyden:

• Quaranteam - Alternating Uncertainties

BirchesLoveBooks:

• Quaranteam - Flyover Country

RonanJWilkerson: 

• Quaranteam - Dave In Dallas

There are a number of other QT stories in the works, but either they haven't released yet or they haven't been written yet, in some cases because they start further down the timeline than is released publicly. Like I said, there is a web page being developed, and when that's done, we'll let you know. It means a lot, not just to me but to all the other authors, that you folks are so invested in the stories that you want to know any time a new one starts up.

For those of you who are interested in more non-QT content, I hear you, and suggest if you aren't already a subscriber, you join my Patreon at the $15/mo level, where you get a vote in twice a month on what stories are going to get chapters that month. It's an easy way to make your voice heard, and a number of those polls have been decided by just one vote, so believe you me when I say it makes a difference.

Public release schedule looks like this for the next month and change: 12/2 - The Fertile Grove 1; 12/9 - Quaranteam: Aisling's Antics 1; 12/16 - QT2:8, Devil's Details 8; 12/23 - BTS 7; 12/30 - Amor Ex Machina 1, QTAA 2, 1/6 - Threadbinders 6.

Anyway, it's Wednesday night, so I'm off to my usual poker night in just a few, but as soon as I'm back, I'll finish up QT2:18 and will have it up for Patreons to read, and I think a lot of people are going to be delighted by this one... It does both a bit of heavy world building and answers a question a lot of people have been asking me about forever... See you, space cowboys...
