Save Scumming - Chapter Ninety-Two
1592! Somehow, this chapter and 91, both have the same wordcount. Weird!Chapter Ninety-TwoI firered, pumped, fired, pumped, then did it all again, five shots, switching between targets every time I racked a new round.Then I slowly lowered the shotgun. It wasn’t all that big, and its tube-magazine could only hold five...
Save Scumming - Chapter Ninety-One
No notes~Chapter Ninety-One“Okay, start from the beginning,” I said as I helped my new pal down. “Like... what’s your name?”“Who even are you?” he asked.“Deadline,” I said. “I’m Deadline. I find problems, I fix them. And I’m usually pretty quick about it. Come on, sit down, that’s right. Your ...
Save Scumming - Chapter Ninety
Segment added to chapter 87:It took a solid three hours before they returned, a tense three hours that I spent edging away and mostly keeping to myself. The locals were quick to start handing out food and supplies, and more gawkers showed up to stare.Then stories started coming in, and people were sent out across town....
Save Scumming - Chapter Eighty-Nine
Hmm... I always like mentioning the... unmentionable stuff. My characters poop sometimes. I mean, obviously, this doesn't happen in more younger-audience-aimed stuff. Broccoli Bunch doesn't even fart. But in a cyberpunk story? Idk, maybe it's just me, but there's something that makes the world feel mor...
I'm Going to Dragoncon!
Yeah! Next week! It's my first ever convention, and I'm both suuuper nervous and real excited for it!Obviously, I'll try to write while I'm there, but it might be a bit too busy :( so... yeah, I guess from one Wednesday to the next, it might be a bit touch-and-go with chapter released. Heck, it might be...
Save Scumming - Chapter Eighty-Eight
Chapter Eighty-EightIt quickly became obvious that we wouldn’t hold.The locals were fast. Police came in and reinforced the barricade, and then the local fire fighters joined in, rushing to the homes nearest the Synthcorp compound to help them evacuate, but already it was clear that this would be an evacuation, not s...
Sporemageddon - Psilocybin Five
Psilocybin Five“I’ll take two of each,” I said to the pharmacist. Or, I assumed that’s what he was. He certainly had the white coat of one on, though his coat was a little less white than some might have preferred.“Two of each?” he asked. I’d only met the man a minute ago and I could tell that he wasn’t...
Save Scumming - Chapter Eighty-Seven
Oh, look! The enemy for this arc! Well, sorta? I do plan on having the MC do a week-long loop, so... she'll start portal prep in a week, but it'll be a quick week for us! If you have any funny ideas for things to sprinkle through the week, lemme know!Also, Save is... somehow still on Rising Stars? I think it...
Stray Cat Strut - Volume Eight - Chapter Seventy-Three
Chapter Seventy-Three***Eric blinked at me, then scanned across the surface of his desk, as if the relevant forms were just going to pop into existence in front of him if he looked hard enough. “Uh,” he said after a moment. “No? Sorry. I mean, we have two internal reporting systems that can kind of do what you’...
Save Scumming - Chapter Eighty-Six
Hi! Been reading all of the feedback! And... I'm genuinely surprised that people want more portal runs. I guess I was afraid that they'd be boring, but y'all seem to like 'em, and they are kinda fun to write. So... let's start this volume off with a big one, eh? Well... sorta? Oh, and thanks for all...
Save Scumming - Volume One Feedback
So... I saw another author do something like this, read through the feedback, and saw a lot of it (amongst some that wasn't) that was super useful. The kind of thing that I sometimes only catch on long walks with Molly. Since Save has a decent following on here who are pretty vocal, I thought I'd try it too! Th...
Cinnamon Bun - Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-Three
Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-ThreeThe pirate ship was taking a ton of damage, but that didn’t mean that it was going down so easily.Our shots from above left plenty of holes and rips through the canvas fabric enveloping its frame. Some of those were large enough to expose the large gasbags within. They were all mad...
Save Scumming - Interlude - An Extraordinary Man
Ik ik, very short chapter! But hey, it's the second Antagonist!I'm... considering having a third? But I'm not too sure. I think these two, for now, work well as a pair. One from above, the other from below. One wanting to help, the other... is a dickbag. Good contrast. I do feel like there's more going ...
Save Scumming - Interlude - A Normal Man
Ehhhhh... kind of ambivalent about this one? I might do 1-2 more of these super short interludes. The idea is to introduce all of these future antagonists from their own perspective. I've never done this... I don't think (how could I know what I've done. you expect me to remember all that?) but I've see...
Stray Cat Strut - Volume Eight - Chapter Seventy-Two
Chapter Seventy-Two***The media was handled... for a certain very poor definition of handled, I decided to focus on the next thing on the list. Only the next thing was taking care of Lucy’s little army of volunteers, and I didn’t have the energy to do that. So I skipped right past to the last thing on the list.Lett...
Save Scumming - Interlewd - The Princess and the Rebel
Interlewd - The Princess and the RebelThis was a bad idea.Such a bad idea. She was laying in her bed, buried in a nest of pillows, and was keenly aware that Deadline was just one room over.It was stupid. The woman was a professional. She was just staying over for the night because it was more convenient. That was all.S...
Interlewd Poll for Save Scumming
Who's perspective?(Also, like, these are hard to write, so it might take a while before it's done. I might do the next normal chapters in between, or maybe just knuckle down and focus on this for a bit)
Save Scumming - Interlude - Francisca Ojou - Part Three
Hmm... interlewd next? Then the last few chapters before the end of this first volume?Lemme know what you think of Ojou in this one! Tried to keep her character intact while also having her grow increasingly frazzled~Interlude - Francisca Ojou - Part ThreeShe was growing increasingly worried that Deadline wasn’t goin...
Stray Cat Strut - Volume Eight - Chapter Seventy-One
Chapter Seventy-One***Next on the list was the media.I... had no idea how to tackle that. A big part of me wanted to ask Lucy her opinion, or Gomorrah, but like, I didn’t need them that much, did I? I could handle this on my own.Besides, I wanted to get it over with, and if I went back home, I’d be too distracted b...
Save Scumming - Chapter Eighty-Five
Hi! chappy! Might do another Ojou-terlude after this. And... I'm tempted to do something different right after? Maybe introduce the perspective of 2-3 villains? Small chapters from each of their POVs. Chapter Eighty-FiveMy Deadline gear was waaaay too dirty. Like, it wasn’t that bad, but there were definitely sta...
Save Scumming - Chapter Eighty-Four
It's not actually a date... right? Or is it? Hmm...Chapter Eighty-Four“What’s the layout of this place?” I asked, keeping my voice low as I swept my rifle from left to right. I had the longer-ranged sight flipped to the side. Annoyingly, it obscured some of my vision if I was aiming down the reflex sight. Poo...
Save Scumming - Chapter Eighty-Three
Need to post this fast! gonna play Peak with friends! <3Chapter Eighty-ThreeI frowned as I channelled magic through the carvings poking out of my core, then tried to feel as thoughtful and think-y as I could. Pensiveness wasn’t the easiest emotion to capture, but it didn’t feel too far from what I normally did... I...
Save Scumming - Chapter Eighty-Two
Number one on Rising Stars! Eeeeee!If you're enjoying Save still, and haven't followed it on RR, then please consider it! Next chapter coming up later... I have a bunch of editing to do today, and I'd really rather not. Chapter Eighty-TwoI woke up the next morning unstabbed, with no clairvoyant-backed gangs...
Stray Cat Strut - Volume Eight - Chapter Seventy
Chapter Seventy***I sat.Delilah moved over to the very fancy coffee machine sitting on their kitchen counter and started to fiddle with it. “Want one?” she asked over her shoulder.“Yeah, sure,” I said. I wasn’t gonna be one of those basic bitches that was all crazy for good coffee, but I could still appreciat...
Save Scumming - Chapter Eighty-One
Huh, 81 again? But yeah. A few people on here and on the Discord pointed out some problems with the chapter, so I went back and added a full page of extra content to hopefully alleviate some of that. Lemme know what you think!Chapter Eighty-OneI think I had it figured out, and I wasn’t sure if I was happy about it or...
Cinnamon Bun - Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-Two
Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-TwoThe pirate ship turned about an hour later, pointing its front in the same direction as us and gaining a bit of altitude.It was still about two, maybe three kilometres away, far enough that we couldn’t make out too many details with the naked eye. What I could see was that it had a l...
Save Scumming - Interlude - The Seer - Part One
Back to the MC next chapter! But in the meantime...Lemme know what you think about this one at the end? Also, the next chapter, because this one here is technically in medias res... sorta? Ish? Is it skipping back in the story's timeline if that's like... the entire gimmick of the story? Hmm. Interlude - The Se...
Save Scumming - Chapter Eighty
Could use some input on that last bit. Obviously, MC is wrong, but like... only mostly wrong? Lol! I dunno if it's too soon for the next chapter to be the 'enemy' interlude or not.Chapter EightyI gasped, then almost fell off my bike at the sudden motion, but a quick leg on the ground stopped me from trippin...
Got Sword!
Next chapters may or may not be delayed due to loss of fingers in an accident that is very much not related to this purchase.Edit: someone asked for a pic of the blade:
Fluff - Volume Four - Chapter Thirty-Three
Chapter Thirty-Three“I see it, I think,” Trinity said as she stood next to Emily. She was squinting, as if looking at something that Emily couldn’t see.“What does it look like?” Emily asked.“Ball,” her little sister said. She waggled her hands around in a roughly spherical way, miming a ball of some sort ...
