Spent a good part of today writing stuff for it. In a couple of different ways. But I can’t show it if there aren’t new pledges. Horrible of me to wave around something tasty without serving up, but that’s why they call it advertising.
Here’s what we’ve got so far: naturally, I’ll be making full chapters when we have some.
Prologue
Chapter 1, Part 1
Chapter 1, Part 2
Chapter 1, Part 3
I gotta keep going for it if I want to get anywhere, of course. What I’ve done so far is below: for every day that I get a new patron, people get another hit for free. When the drive hits $200/month, I start writing this serial Pulp SF story up every week for patrons. It’s a bargain, so click the button above!

Chapter 1, Part 1

There’s not much to “And a Bottle of (Guaranteed Earth-Distilled!) Rum,” I think. It’s funny enough as a 100 word microfiction, but you’d have to add a lot to make the idea really pop. And even if you did, well, the idea’s been done before. To put it mildly.
PATREON? Patreon!
Let us all be honest with each other folks: in the world of “Bug Wars,” we’re all watching the show and never missing an episode. We might as well, because the show’s going on anyway. Besides, serves the little buggers right for being the next sentient species on Earth — although they’ll end up being soul-swapped with the Great Race anyway, so maybe we’re not getting the short end of the stick after all.
Patreon! Come on, I wanna write more Bold Marauder serial pulp.
…Maybe I should put up one of those thermometers.

Alas, I have been sick for the last two days, which is no doubt why we have had no movement. After all, one must work, if one is to progress. Weakness of the flesh is no excuse!
Continue reading The Day Before My Birthday* update to the Bold Marauder Patreon pledge drive.
Alas, a goose egg. But empire-building takes time. And sustained effort, so clearly I need to get the word out more. Again, below is the Prologue and the first part of Chapter One of The Bold Marauder, a pulp-SF serial that is both the $200/month goal and a temptation for everyone to sign up. Tell your friends!
Started with the traditional “How hard could it be to just print all this stuff out?” An hour and a half of phone calls, emails, replies to emails, cursing the inability of Google to recognize that the damn printer is turned on, moving files to different computers, and finally printing things out, the answer is… harder than you would think. I am not quite ready to strangle a manatee in the nude, but I can see it from here.
Hey! I’m doing a Patreon pledge drive! Sign up, if you haven’t! You’ll get instant pulp SF serial goodness if you do! I’m quite keen to tell people what Samson Black found in the dusty streets of Luna’s Port Royale.
It is time to really push things to the next level, here. Therefore, I have started an ongoing drive to get my Patreon up to the $200/month level. And to do this, I have changed the pledge goals! Now, at $200/month, patrons will get 500 words a week of the pulp SF serial “The Bold Marauder” that I’ve wanted to write for a while. Continue reading The Next Level Patreon Pledge Drive. (There’ll be free stuff.)
As per “And Don’t Come Back:” i find that, as I get older, I get just a little less tolerant of letting bygones be bygones. Sometimes you just can’t let things get away with things. Even if it’s the utilitarian answer.
:pause:
OK! Patreon!
