DD - Book 2 - Chapter 8 - Sylvia

Not super happy wiht the last line, but enjoyed the rest of it. I'll think if there's a way to change it later.

I was so surprised by the comment that I sprayed water across the table before breaking into a coughin...

Imaginary - Chapter 33 - Review

“I guess I better go study,” I muttered after gathering my thoughts.

“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Angelica asked. “You just received some shocking information.”

“That’s true… but what am I supposed to do abou...

Imaginary - Chapter 32 - Winding down the day

I may or not post on Thursday. I'm changing internet providers and I have no idea how long I'll be without internet. Fingers crossed it'll be a fairly painless process.

When I pushed into the house I was surprised ...

TBoB - Book 5 - Chapter 43 - Extinguished

This chapter took a huge left turn, I had different plans at the start, and I may need to rework the start to make it flow better. I'll look at it later.

It took several hours and several hundred points to finally ...

DD - Book 2 - Chapter 7 - The Plaza

So: Two notes about this chapter. First, I'm going to remove the one sentence in the first book about Sylvia being a vampire. After discussing my plans with a couple of my friends I have a much better idea for her.

Second, this...

TBoB - Book 5 - Chapter 42 - Overwhelming Numbers

As soon as the first pods ripped open, releasing a combination of Model Threes, Fours and Fives, I immediately ordered the bears to open fire.

This initial wave wasn’t that bad, probably less than a hundred Antithesis in total across the c...

Hey, what brings you here? (a member survey)

Hey all!

Over the last couple weeks I've had a higher number of people decide to leave my patreon. That's fine, you guys don't owe me anything, but since they didn't fill out the exit survey I have no idea if it was due to personal reasons,...

DD - Book 2 - Chapter 5 - Clearing My Head

I'm changing it up! This will be chapter 5, showing how distracted Tali is, and I'll do some minor reworks and have the old chapter 5 go as chapter 6. This way Kass's decision won't appear be so abrupt, it'll be after Talia flails arou...

TBoB - Book 5 - Chapter 41 - Long Term Plans

I opened up on the nearest Thirteen, blowing huge chunks out of the nearest body. The eyes and tentacles on that section spasmed, but it had little effect on the other two cores. They reared back, lifted the crippled body and swung it like a wreck...

DD - Book 2 - Chapter 6 - One Track Mind

This chapter needs a minor rework - It was originally chapter 5 but it seemed to abrupt, so I added another chapter to show Talia's state of mind. Most of it is good, just need to change a couple paragraphs so it starts from la...

TBoB - Book 5 - Chapter 40 - A Wound in the Earth

When I arrived at the site of the hive I had the driver do a couple laps around the area before finally landing. The impact site looked less like a crater, and more like an infected wound in the world. I could see the barest hints of a thic...

SS - Chapter 45 - Fully Armed

Once we crossed the river we didn’t have far to go, we just needed to follow the edge of the lake around to the citadel. We’d only gone a couple hundred feet, when I noticed something.

“Do you smell smoke?” I asked.

“I do mor...

DD - Book 2 - Chapter 4 - A Casual Lunch

“No more snacks! You know the rules,” a gruff voice snapped as we approached the cafeteria. “I just gave you sausages, don’t tell me you’ve eaten them all already.”

Kass snorted. “That spider of yours sure is predictable, alway...

TBoB - Book 5 - Chapter 39 - Desolate Lands

Time for a quick side quest?

“I don’t get it,” Eddie declared. “Why are the rocks like that?”

Imaginary - Chapter 31 - Recovery

Once I’d finished talking to the doctor Olivia and I swiftly moved towards the exit. Although Olivia seemed to struggle at first, she gained strength with every strep. By the time we were half way to the exit she was no longer leaning on me, and...

DD - Book 2 - Chapter 3 - Research and Destruction

George slowly crawled along the staircase’s ceiling, staring down at the draconid struggling in my arms, growling the entire time. 

I’m sure if anyone else had been carrying the creature he would have already pounced on them, caring...

TBoB - Book 5 - Chapter 38 - Rocky Ground

“They’re breathtaking,” Jane gasped when we arrived at the badlands.

I glanced around the dry, lifeless area around us, then back at Jane. “What is? All I see is a bunch of rocks.”

“They’re not just a bunch of rocks,” ...

DD beta rule changes

Hey all,

I’m coming up with the exact rule changes for duelling dungeons book 2, and I’d like a little feedback.

If you read the first story, a lot of these should make some amount of sense (and if not, you absolutely should, I thi...

Duelling Dungeons - Book 2 - Chapter 2 - Family Ties

So you might have noticed there was no Sov Stone this week. I love the story, and know exactly where it's going, but I feel like I've stalled a bit. More than anything, Selena's passive attitude in the last half of the chapters bugs me...

TBoB - Book 5 - Chapter 36 - Staying Informed

Duelling Dungeons - Book 2 - Prologue

So... Womby read through most of DD book one yesterday, and I forgot how much I loved the world. I did see 2-3 places where I want to make a couple touch-ups, but still the favorite of my fictions. Although this might not seem somewhat...

TBoB - Book 5 - Chapter 35 - Below Decks

Once we left Yellowstone it didn’t take long for the rugged, rocky terrain to give way to rolling hills and, shortly after that, flat plains. 

After traveling over the mountains for so long the plains were extremely disappointing. Alt...
