The festivities have passed, and we're now under a week to the next Rimworld fanfic arc chapter. On Thursday, we'll be spending a chapter in the company of Buckie, while her duty as Maiden continues in the Royal Chamber. She has a lot to experience from her perspective.

My Ao3 stats for 2025.... I'm proud of every single word I've put down, these are just another 202K out of the 1.3M total! Happy New Year everyone.... The next chapter arrives on Jan 8th!

I'd recommend the discussion at 02:10:30 between John and Amy Hunt, the Queen and Theresa May, on the murder of Carol, Hannah and Louise Hunt. It's a breathtaking insight into misogyny, violence against women, and finding a way to live through unspeakable loss. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I love the Rimworld OST's! While Waiting For The Sun, is arguably, the best end credits music for a game, full stop, hidden in the latest DLC, Odyssesy, is my fave in game music. Get your Gravship, go to orbit and enjoy the quiet with this track! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ejL...

Ah, that's better.... Better Windows 11 right click, it was awful, always having to muck around to hunt the expanded options, so I just used the Terminal to bypass it via the registry. Hello, old style full menu!

The Rimworld fanfic arc writing has reached the turning point.... Lissa has unlocked her true potential!

I'm going to admit it.... I'm writing the crescendo of the Rimworld fanfic arc! I'm actually writing the moment it's taken nearly 300K to reach!

Xmas Night and I'm sat with a brandy while writing my fic novels..... This is bliss.

A word of advice for rants like this.... Open the can of alphabetti spaghetti and eat the contents, don't throw it at a wall and comprise new posts from the resulting stain!

Now I'm excited.... The dreams will be great for combo and weapon experimentation, let alone having it's own progression.

I've had a lot of fun writing my tales this year, and publishing them onto my Ao3 account, regardless of the 'usually dubious subject material....' They'll never go any further than there, but that doesn't detract from them for me. They're my tales, and I'm proud of them. So, onto next year!

Chapter 3 of the Rimworld fanfic arc is published.... We're spending time with Anney today as she hopes to learn some new details from the captured slaver. A little reminder, that the next chapter will be released after New Year, on Jan 8th. archiveofourown.org/works/752424...

It's Thursday once again, so that means the next chapter of my Rimworld fanfic arc arrives this evening. It's time to see if Anney and Skupen can learn anything from the captive woman the tribe has detained.

The 2nd edit of the Rimworld chapter for the Thursday fanfic arc is done, roll on tomorrow! Have a snippet as a teaser.... 'He was sat in the main dining hall, finishing his own plate, and he allowed them the same courtesy, before indicating, “come, follow. Time to seek information.”'

The first edit of my Rimworld fanfic chapter is done, the arc is on course for Thursday's release. There's still a way to go with writing the rest of this arc, but I'm aiming to have the bulk done over this upcoming Xmas break.... .... Hopefully....

It's Tuesday once more, and that means I'll start the editing for chapter 3 of the Rimworld fanfic arc, later today. We're back with Anney this week, and it's time to see if they get the chance to question the prisoner...? This is the last chapter this year, I'm on break until Jan after this week.

The decision is made.... The feedback from the first two chapters has been great, but Xmas approaches rapidly, and both Xmas and New Year fall on a Thursday this time. As a result, Chapter 3 will be next Thursday, but then I'm having some time out, and Chapter 4 will be Jan 8th. A 3-week break.

The chapter is posted! The Rimworld Fanfic Arc has chapter 2 available to read, and it's our first return to Lissa, trapped and encased deep under the Mountain. Now she sings to her daughter, how is she adapting...? archiveofourown.org/works/752424...

Tonight, chapter 2 of the Rimworld fanfic arc, and as a teaser, have a line from the Queen as a snippet : '[I sense words of Daughter-Queen too! Mind cannot cloak them any longer Broodmother!]' All will be revealed soon enough!

The first edit of the next chapter of my Rimworld fanfic arc was completed last night, and later today, I'll have my 2nd run-through. Everything looks good for the release window tomorrow night, and then you'll get to read Lissa's first chapter, as she wakes up to a new way of life....

Tuesday rolls around again, so the editing process for Chapter 2 of my new Rimworld fanfic arc begins today. After last week with Anney, there's only one place we could be, that's with Lissa, learning how she feels. Now we know she sings to her own daughter, the new, rising Queen of the Mountain!

QTP with a gif of a powerful woman!

Last night saw the first chapter for my Rimworld fanfic arc go live, and for a fandom where a hit or two a day is about the best you can hope for, having 30x that is, shall we say, frenetic activity...? I'm just buzzing this chapter has a lot of interest behind it. It's almost hyped!

And we are go. The new Rimworld fanfic arc has began, with Chapter 1 posted on Ao3.... We are going back to the Mountain, knowing things are changing forever, but Anney doesn't yet, and she's got her own worries to ask about. Skupen is willing to answer.... archiveofourown.org/works/752424...

And so it begins.... *Mouse cursor hanging over the 'Post New' button on Ao3.* It's time to begin the process of making the new part of the Rimworld fanfic arc, appear for everyone to read.

Thanks Savers. I'm out! #whamageddon

It's Thursday the 4th, the promised launch day. So, Chapter 1 of my Rimworld fanfic arc, 'The Ascension Of My Queen,' will be on Ao3 tonight.... Finally, I cannot wait to get this one going!

The 2nd edit of the new Rimworld fanfic chapter is completed! I've rewritten several little sections to try and imporve the flow, and the descriptions of the detail. I'm pleased with the result. Now, roll on tomorrow, when the entire arc begins to arrive on Ao3!

The 2nd edit of my Rimworld fanfic chapter will be completed tonight.... Tomorrow is the 'big one.' I've got to make the header, tags, summary, and all the components that post the work, that's gonna take an extra hour, alongside the final edit. But it will be worth it!

This is precisely why I write cohesive fic novels of the past colonies. Telling the sins I have made in the name of Randy Random.

We're two days out from the start of my Rimworld fanfic finale arc being published. That means, my editing cycles for the weekly chapters has begun....

Thursday is coming and the editing cycle stsrt tomorrow. So, as another little tease, enjoy another brief snippet. 'At least her intensive training had kept her focused, and not missing both her lover and her best friend, but it was in the evening that the reality of the situation hit home.'

It's after midnight.... The game is on, I'm under the Whamageddon rules now!

Now the CrossCode epic chapter is completed, the way is clear for The Ascension Of My Queen to begin on Thursday. We're on our way back to the Rimworld fanfic arcs, to learn the climax of the story. Will Lissa attain her destiny, will Anney be at her side, will Buckie accept the changes....?

The last chapter was back in July, but the new CrossCode epic fanfic chapter, is now available on Ao3. We're off back to the Haunted Caverns this time, but James has a few, unsettling dreams to mull over first.... I hope you all enjoy! archiveofourown.org/works/338982...

It's Ao3 conversion day for my CrossCode epic chapter, so I'll get on it later. The chapter will be published tonight.

The weekend approaches, and that reminds me there is a CrossCode epic fanfic chapter to convert to Ao3, after the early release last week. It'll be published, most likely, Sunday night. I still need to come up with a chapter name as well! Better get thinking today....

We're 6 days out from the start of my Rimworld series fanfic arc, and now I'm starting to build up to the launch myself. I'm currently writing chapter 19, so there's a way to go at a chapter per week, but it will be fully written soon. I cannot wait to start sharing it on Ao3!

We're just over a week from the launch of, 'The Ascension Of My Queen.' The chapters will start to be posted on Ao3, Thursday Dec 4th, the climax of this fic novel series. As a teaser, enjoy the opening paragraphs, and then know the full chapter is only 8 days away....

The CrossCode epic chapter is done, and in the usual spot I post it for early release. If you know where that is, go and find it! The Ao3 conversion for this one is already set next weekend, and it will be posted here once that version is live.

The second editt of my CrossCode fanfic is done. It'll be published to first release tomorrow night.

I'll get the 2nd full edit of my CrossCode fanfic chapter completed today, ahead of the first release version tomorrow night.... Then, with the Ao3 conversion next, the way is cleared for the Rimworld Series to resume. 'The Ascension Of My Queen' begins a week on Thursday. The build up's here!

That first edit of my CrossCode fanfic epic is done.... Another few runs and we'll be ready for that first publication on Sunday, woohoo!

The CrossCode epic fanfic chapter.... is done! This one clocks in at 12.7K and goes straight into editing tomorrow, it's scheduled for first release on Sunday, and the Ao3 conversion next weekend. That means the Rimworld series arc is still on sechedule for the chapters to start Dec 4th! Yay!

The writing of this CrossCode epic fanfic chapter is almost done.... My planned deadlines seem to be having the required effect on my writing dedication.

I offer a 2nd snippet of the upcoming Rimworld arc fanfic, 'The Ascension Of My Queen.' Part 4 of the series, is due to have the first chapter released on Dec 4th. Would you like to see who Lissa is becoming, deep under the Mountain...?

With the announcement that the next series arc of my Rimworld fanfic is arriving soon, I think it's time to start building up the anticipation for it.... So here, have a little snippet of what's to come.

I've been working out the timings for my writing progression and computing how things are going.... The CrossCode epic fanfic chapter is nearly done, and I plan to get it published, hopefully by next weekend, with the Ao3 conversion the weekend after.... 1/2
