Weekly Update - 12/6/23 (Patreon)
Content
I've actually been very busy for the last several days, even if it doesn't seem like it, getting caught up on outstanding commissions and owed posts. I'm not fully caught up yet, but I'm closing in on getting a lot further caught up on that than I was, with posts for Devil's Details, Pack Of His Own and Quaranteam: Aisling's Antics off to their commissioners, and one off for The Fertile Grove within the next day or so. Both DD and Pack's commissioners were extremely happy with the upcoming posts, which is good, because I'd been away from them a while and needed to get back into the groove of them and was worried I might stumble.
All of those posts will be coming to you, general subscribers, in the near future (within a month or two, they'll hit Alphas first), and you, non-subscribers, in the long run. In some cases, I was well-behind on delivering those, mainly because I've been helping out with so many authors getting their Quaranteam spin-offs started up.
Speaking of that, we are working on a centralized hub page where we will have links to all the various Quaranteam stories. Not done yet, but hopefully before the end of the year we'll have something to show off, where you can go and find access to all the various stories we've released publicly, and find links to everyone's Patreon for those of you who can afford to help us by supporting our writing financially. There was a new QT spinoff that just started called Ruins United that is set in Russia, spinning out of what little I'd written about the Quaranteam experience there in McCallister's Madness and much more authentically Russian than what I'd done. And there's a lot more to come from a lot of other great writers as well.
Friday or so, the voting caste of my Patrons have decided I'll be turning out another chapter of C.A.R.P., as we continue to delve even deeper into the mystery. Those of you hoping for answers might get some, but as all things C.A.R.P. related, it'll be followed by even more questions that you'll all be frustrated and confounded by. I love that, just so you know.
I'm going to keep dropping things as they're done, so the release schedule for this month will feel a bit more slipshod than normal, but I'm going to do everything to keep stories rolling. I also feel it's important to let people know that for the next two months (Dec/Jan) there will only be one chapter of QT2, which, I know, I know, probably has some of you up in arms (rabble rabble rabble!), but I'm telling you all of this because QT2:20 drops in January, and much like QTB1 had a massive chapter 20, so, too will Book Two. It's going to be a fat, meaty, giant chapter with a ton of things going on, so if you feel mid January like you've been light on QT2 content, I promise you, QT2:20 will make up for it. It's the wedding! There's so much going on, I just needed to carve out a large chunk of time for it.
The first chapter of Fertile Grove dropped publicly last week, and got a lot of great feedback, so for those of you wondering, yes, there's more of that coming. And this week I start putting Aisling's Antics into the non-subscriber world as well. Public release schedule looks like this for the next month and change: 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, QT2:10, 1/13 Pack 5, Threadbinders 7.
Anyway, that's all the news that's fit to print. It looks like the weather's starting to get cold outside, so buckle in and stay warm, and I'll catch you on the next one!
