Update/Preview 58

Firstly, I believe I owe you all an apology. Self Insert Dark ch8 was meant to go live yesterday, and for various reasons it wasn’t done, and for that I’m sorry. Between being sick at the start of the month, the burn out from Self Insert Redux ch19, and the bull that’s going on at my work (no management in my department, power vacuum and me desperately trying not to get sucked into it), I just haven’t had the energy. However, it is almost done, and I should have something for you all either today or tomorrow. Have a brief preview of ...

Self Insert REDUX Epilogue

Here it is, as promised, my Epilogue for Book Two of the Self Insert Adventure. The REDUX has now officially ended. Both this and chapter 19 will go live on Fanfiction and AO3 after Christmas (because I wanna end the year with this story wrapping up). I hope y'all have enjoyed the ride, and look forward to the continuation of the story in 2020. 

Metallover's Self Insert Adventure Book Three: Blunt Force Trauma, coming 2020! 

(I was originally gonna call the Epilogue 'Not a Chapter 20, LOL sorrynotsorry' but Ric...

Update/Preview 57

I’m doing the update tonight instead of tomorrow because I’m gonna end up spamming the crap out of y’all tomorrow as is. So take a brief look at the next SI!Dark chapter, and strap in lol.

So, Xcell’s had a bunch of exams and stuff and Rice has been busy with work, meaning I have to push the Support back to tomorrow. I’ve also finished the SI Book 2 Epilogue, and it’s in for editing with Rice, so that should hopefully be up tomorrow as well (unless I get the urge to add to it). Also, I wrote my own little Three Houses Reve...

Self Insert REDUX ch19

The idea was to have a short Epilogue chapter done and ready to post at the same time, but I'm backsliding with this virus and it's taking a little too long, so I'm not sitting on this one any more. The Epilogue will be done and uploaded sometime this weekend, after the Support on the 7th. 

I am legit nervous about uploading this one. I won't lie. I also won't spoil it, but compared to my average chapter length it's about a chapter and a half worth of writing. I also debated splitting this one, but... eh. It works. 

TL;...

Update/Preview 56

Another preview of ch19 of the self insert. Unfortunately, it appears some substantial rewrites are necessary to my draft, so the chapter will indeed be delayed a little. Hopefully not much longer than another week. I’ll make sure I post any different drafts for the A and A+ Patrons once I know if I’m making any drastic changes or not. Sorry for the delay.

I am still sick. It’s like there’s a brick in my chest. I may just take tomorrow off work at this rate. But, bright side, fortunately it doesn’t seem to be affecting my con...

November vlog 2019

I apologize for the background noise in the video, I had to crank the capture volume up so you could hear my weak-ass sick voice. 

Update/Preview 55

Morning, all! Witness the return of our resident maid! Elle’s back in this preview of SI ch19!

Chapter is coming along nicely. I do warn y’all now, though: I have a feeling this one’s gonna be a little late. Partially because I’m still sick (I swear I’ll beat this cold or die trying) and partially because important chapter, can’t fuck it up, blah blah blah. I’m working all systems go on it now, though, so hopefully, if it is late, it won’t be too late.

Nothing else is really going on. I’m getting some...

Patron Appreciation Day 2019

HAPPY PATRON APPRECIATION DAY, ALL! YAY! WOO! Y'all are the greatest!

Thank you so much for all your support over the last year. I know that I'm something of a hot mess when it comes to... well, life in general, but thanks to all of you sticking with me I've made big strides with my writing career and with my own craft in general. 

So, I'm sure you're all wondering, "what's with the picture?" WELL! That is the rough mock-up of the Official Ylissean First Heavy Infantry - Metallover's Patreon Squad patch that I'm in ...

Update/Preview 54

Good morning, all! On time this time! As I keep saying, progress on SI ch19 has been steady, and here’s the proof. Get used to Su’ko. She’s gonna stick to the SI like a bad stank for the rest of the story.

So, not much else happening right now. It’s all systems go on this SI chapter. Supports are done, Dark is done, I’m not even thinking about anything else until this one’s done. Writing-wise, anyway.

At present my non-writing thoughts are still consumed by Star Wars. I was actually asked why I’ve never wri...

Belated Update/Preview 53

Wellp, I’m a dumbass. I am so sorry I forgot to post this on Sunday. I’ve been sick with some lovely virus the last couple days, so I’ve been kinda in and out of it. I haven’t forgotten you all! Have a preview of tomorrow’s SI!Dark chapter.

Self Insert November (doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as ‘No Nut November’, does it?) is well under way. Rice is almost done editing Dark ch7, and can you believe we’re already up to chapter seven!? Kinda snuck up on me. Canon Self Insert is shaping up nicely, but this chap...

Preview/Update 52

Here’s a quick look at the start of the next SI!Support series, in which Erutreya gets SWOLE. This one comes out on the 7th (and I love the artwork that Xcell’s putting together for it, looks great).

Hello to our new patrons! Welcome new friends! Make sure if you haven’t already to join up on the Discord channel for memes and porn!

Not really much else going on. The start of the month is always a flurry of activity, with a lot going on. SI!Dark is already half done, and both Support drafts are finished. Planning is complet...

October vlog

Sorry it's a little late; meant to have this up yesterday, but we had technical difficulties. 

Preview/Update 51

Okay, here’s a quick look at my own little Three Houses reverse Isekai short. Y’all didn’t think I’d let you have all the fun, did you? Remember, this contest finishes up on the 31st, so if you wanna be part of the little anthology thingy, get in soon!

Aside from that, not a lot going on. I’ve made a start on the next SI!Dark, and it’s looking like the next Support pair will be Erutreya and Tennabree (the two OC girls from the army). Canon SI will probably happen once I get those two done. Now, that one may be a little late...

Blazing Trinity ch8

Okay, here it is, the finished version of Chapter 8! Yay! 

So there's been some confusion about Florina's pegasus' name. As there's two canon names for it, Huey and Makar, I'm doing a thing where she'll eventually retire one and get another. Never mind the fact that Huey (named in Florina and Hector's B-support) and Makar (named in the game script in the level Noble Lady of Caelin) are both male names and Florina also refers to the pegasus as a female in her recruitment chapter... (that's actually a translation error on Nintendo's...

Update/Preview 50

I feel like I’ve done more than 50 of these... oh well. Here’s a quick look of a part of the next Future’s End chapter, ch28, that I’m actually working on again. Shock horror! I should have ch8 of Blazing Trinity edited and uploaded tonight or tomorrow sometime, and the last Chrom and Panne support will be uploaded tomorrow, too. So look forward to that!

Why is this update so late? Because I haven’t had a decent amount of sleep in more than a week with all the construction going on at and around my residence and I�...

Update/Preview 49

A little later than usual, but we were busy last night at work. I know I’ve been working on this chapter for a while, too, so I’ve made sure to preview part of a scene I’ve written this month. Nils ‘joining’ the Legion!

I don’t actually think it’ll take me too much longer to get this chapter done. Another day or two at most. Then it’s on to Future’s End! Again! I swear I will finish that story! SI!Dark ch6 comes out tomorrow, so look forward to that. It’s NSFW, be forewarned. I’ll put some polls up for ne...

Update/Preview 48

Howdy, all! A quick look at the opening of SI!Dark ch8, which I’m hoping to have done and in editing today.

After that, it’s all systems go on Blazing Trinity and Futures End (which I’m quickly realising has become my white whale...). The next support is prepped and ready for tomorrow, so... yeah. Not a lot else going on.

Don’t forget the reverse-isekai contest! If I get time this week I’ll throw something together, too!

I’m kinda finding myself going through an 80s/90s anime phase. Something about the aestheti...

Update/Preview 47

Hello again! Here’s a brief look at something I’ve kinda been working on in my (admittedly rare) spare time. It probably won’t be much more than a short story, but it’s nice to be working on original content again. I’ve even started revisiting my novel plans, going back through and adjusting the roadmap I have for it.

Don’t forget to put in your entries for the three houses reverse isekai short story contest! I’ve already gotten a couple of great entries, so this is totally happening! Don’t worry if you’re...

September 2019 vlog

The ACTUAL Self Insert ch18

That earlier one? Yeah, that was a joke. Blame Minute Rice, my editor, for that one. 

So we're gearing up for the conclusion of this arc now! Next chapter is it, then we're moving on! Yay! We've wanted to do this storyline for ages, so this is a huge load off my mind. But... now we don't have any future plans. We're pantsing it! Yaaaaaay!

Next month I'll hopefully get both of those half-finished chapters, Future's End and Blazing Trinity, done. I'm gonna focus on BT, but I really wanted to get FE done this year, so... we'll ...

Metallover's Self Insert Adventure ch18

Chapter's done!

CONTEST TIME! Three Houses Reverse-Isekai!

Okay, so! In my update I mentioned the little contest I wanted to run. We had a lot of fun last year with the whole "Pick a song that adequately represents the Haunted House arc of the Self Insert" contest, so I figured I'd do another one. 

Rules are simple: write a short story, between 1000 and 3000 words (ish; it'd be hypocritical of me to harp on about word limits when I hate them so...) about a member of the Three Houses cast being reverse-isekai'd (transported) into the real world and becoming your room mate. That's it. ...

Update/Preview 46

Good morning, all! How are we today? Hope all is well as I drop a quick look at a scene from the next Self Insert chapter. I actually don’t know if I’m gonna keep this scene, even though I’ve wanted to do more with Miriel for a while now. I’ll leave that up to the editor.

So! Progress has slowed on Self Insert ch18, but I’m still soldiering on. I’m hoping to get it done and off to Minute Rice for editing in the next couple days. Naga willing. Then I’m gonna start hacking away at Blazing Trinity and maybe even... Futures ...

Update/Preview 45

Heyo! Update bright and early for y’all! And a big hello to all our new patrons! Don’t forget to join us on the Discord server for memes and porn! In the meantime, here’s a quick look at one of the deeper, more introspective moments coming up in the next Self Insert chapter.

I hope you all enjoyed the latest SI!Dark chapter. Progress is steady on the canon Self Insert, which is already about half done. I also finally snapped and had to start working on an original short story yesterday. If I ever finish it, I’ll makes sure to ...

Extra video! Daemon X Machina Unboxing

So, I felt like doing a video for this unboxing thing, and rather than wait two more weeks to tack this onto the end of the next vlog, I figured I'd just upload it here for those of you who are interested. If you don't care, sorry for cluttering up your email inbox with the notification. If you were interested, check it out! Thanks! 

Update/Preview 44

Here y’all go, a quick look at SI!Dark ch5, the draft of which is in with Rice for editing and will come out on the 14th as scheduled!

Progress is being made on the next canon SI front. It’s about... I dunno, a thousand words deep so far. I’ve got tonight and tomorrow night off (I’ll get into that...), so I’m hoping I can absolutely smash this chapter and get back to Blazing Trinity.

So, for those of you not on the Discord server, on Friday I had a cyst cut out of my chest. Of course, I had the student nurse assisting...

Update/Preview 43

Another brief glimpse of Blazing Trinity ch8, featuring Rath’s recruitment scene! No idea when this chapter’s gonna be done. Soon, hopefully, but I have put it aside for Self Insert stuff.

So, a lot happened this month. I’m working now on Supports and Dark, so Trinity’s on the back burner for now; as I always say, though, Self Insert stuff is piss easy once I get the ball rolling. Which is the problem right now, thanks to my mother’s recent heart attack(s) making me busy playing hausfrau because my dad’s idea of a balanced ...

Quick Update

So, despite my proclamation of doing away with the monthly deadline for chapters, I still thought I’d manage to squeak Blazing Trinity 8 in just in the nick of time, make everybody happy, and move on to SI fun next week.

Then my mother had a heart attack.

Soooooooooo long story short I lost two days of writing and now I’m definitely not hitting that deadline.

So, what happens now? I’m gonna take a few days to draft up September’s Supports and Dark chapters, then I’ll see how I’m feeling. If the magic�...

Update/Preview 42

Here we are, another week down! Yay! This is a brief preview of the introductory scene to Ninian and Nils in the latest Blazing Trinity draft, which is sitting pretty on about 60% done.

So, I mentioned this on Discord, but I’m tired. Running this Patreon and creating content for y’all over the last year has been fun and incredibly rewarding, but it’s also the equivalent of a second full time job. I’ve stopped exercising, I’ve stopped socialising, and the self-imposed stress is starting to seriously affect my mental health. I ...
