Let me know what you think about the chapter. Also typos. Find them. I cannot, for I read what I meant, not what I said.

Chapter Formatting

EDIT

Poll is now closed. Dark auto won (you can click the link below if you want details). However, for anyone who likes light mode, fret not. I found a way to export both light and dark from LibreOffice with a macro (not dark rrl, that would be significantly harder). I also took the opportunity to fix the epub metadata, though this required learning more VB than I would have preferred. C'est la vie. I've attached light, dark, and new epub versions of everything since chapter 100, as well as the export script for those...

Here is 106. What do you think? Tell me in the comments.

 Also, I've finally gotten around to updating my Favorites.

I put off adding things there for the longest time, operating on the theory that anyone whose story didn't appear might feel left out. Then, I realized that I worry about stuff too much. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't have time to read everything on RoyalRoad, obviously. The stuff in there, though, I g...

I’ve mentioned this story before, but now it is making its way to Royal Road to read for free! Go check it out! You have no excuse!

Minor Spoiler:    

There are two main story lines. If one or the other isn’t to your taste, just keep going. They eventually converge, and the point ...

It was nice to be able to type this with a keyboard.

Sales Tax

Howdy folks,

This isn’t a chapter. Settle down. Settle….

Good, that’s better.

Okay, so, the folks over at Patreon say that they are going to be required by law to start charging sales tax depending on where you live, and what you are “getting” from your pledge. They sent me some boilerplate to send you, which I’ll tack on at the end of this. They are also going to send you an e-mail about this in a few days, but they want us creators to soften the blow for them or something, I guess, so here goes.

How it w...

This chapter was also mostly thumbs. 6000 words typed on the phone. Then, once I fixed my computer, I added around 3000 more, plus quite a bit of shuffling on the ones that were already there. Editing is hard.

Enjoy. Tell me about all the ducking autocorrect problems you find.

Edit: Chapter has been renamed (102 is taking the name from 101). Thanks to Bonreu on discord for the new title suggestion!

Edit: I have adjusted the stopping point for this chapter. There are a few more pages which will start off the next chapter, which I will post separately for anyone who wants them. I'd recommend you wait, though. It is really just trading one cliff for another :P

You ever hear of technical debt?

Never thought I'd have any on a creative writing project, but there you go....

100

Wow, chapter 100.

I still can’t believe it myself. When I started this, I never even thought I’d make it to chapter 10. Then people started saying they liked it, and I was having so much fun writing it that I just kept going. And then things kinda got out of control.  

You all rock.

Enjoy!

"I'll try to make the next one a bit more reasonable," he said.

Fail.

It is still at least double-length at just over 9000 words.

098

Remember when I said the last chapter was long? Well...

12,124 words. My poor hands.

I'll try to make the next one a bit more reasonable. Editing all of this really took it out of me.

Let me know if you find any issues!

097

Whew, okay, there's a lot going on in this one. Hopefully there's something for everyone. Second-longest chapter of all time (short by only a hundred words or so). I had to do a lot of stuff in the background, too. Let me know what you think and if you spot any continuity or consistency issues with previous chapters. Some of that is supposed to be there, mind. In a world without the internet, not everyone is going to be fully informed, or even right half of the time. However, I, lacking overmana, can't remember every nugget that I have left ...

Have I mentioned how awesome all of you are?

Thank you so much for your support!

Leave me a comment if you find a typo, and stay safe out there.

Wash your hands, folks. Stay safe out there.

Honor

Hello everybody,

Sorry, it's not a chapter.

It has come to my attention that someone has been uploading Patreon chapters to a piracy website. Apparently, the site in question is quite the problem for Patreon in general. Even they have been unable to take it down. All I can really do is ask whoever is doing it to stop, as the site, which shall remain nameless, does not honor takedown requests, DMCA or otherwise.

So, to whoever is responsible:

Please stop. It is not only disrespectful to...
