I wonder if the spelling in ‘The Seam In tHe World’ bugs people as much as it bugs me. Probably not. That’s why I added the bit about hearing the Capital H. I figure the scream would bug people in-universe just fine.

End of Chapter 9 of THE BOLD MARAUDER is up on Patreon!
Paywalled now, alas, but now available in EPUB and PDF as you go. There’s going to be at least monthly installments, on or around the 15th from now on. Check out THE BOLD MARAUDER today!
Patreon Microfiction: Salamander.
I don’t really want to do much with ‘Salamander.’ Sharon’s doing fine, and the worldbuilding involved sounds really, really… well, dull, honestly. I don’t have the chemistry and biology I’d need, sorry.
So. The official changes to the Patreon.
I’ve decided to keep the video, for now. I need to work on the Kickstarter video anyway. There are going to be two major changes, going forward:
- The Collections feature is going to get a heavier workout. In particular, my RPG materials are going to get collated so that people can actually access them easily. I’ll also be collating the short stories that I’ve been writing for the world of GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND, because that’s overdue.
- But the big thing is this: I’m committing to regular installments of THE BOLD MARAUDER. It is going to be paywalled, but it’s a buck. I want to see how much I can sustain a month, but I think that a monthly installment around the middle of the month is doable. We’ll see how it goes.
That’s mostly it. It will still cost only a buck to join up, and I hope that people do!
I have made some long-overdue improvements to my Patreon.
The biggest change to the Patreon is that I have increased the number of Collections. You will now be able to see all the Fermi Resolution story links on one page, the free RPG game worlds have all gotten their own collection pages, you can find the poetry and Timmy stories, that sort of thing. I’ve also cleaned up the text a bit to reflect the fact that Patreon no longer offers goals. I’m keeping the current schedule of content and actually adding something to it, but the old language probably confused people.
Next up: a new video, and the aforementioned new content. Keep your eyes open! And sign up!
Changes coming soon to the Patreon.
Nothing bad or cut back; it’s just that some things need to get revamped. I’ve never really updated the Patreon to reflect the fact that the old model of ‘get to this level, and stuff unlocks’ is dead, and that I need to come up with something more enticing. I suspect that this will at least mean more regular Bold Marauder serial updates, which is something I kind of want to do anyway. I also have to decide whether anybody really cares about the RPG materials. I hope so – I like writing them – but the goal is to grow the site, not shrink it. It’s a new year: time to make some changes.
In the meantime, feel free to check the site out, if you haven’t already.
Patreon Microfiction: There’s Worse Places To Wait Out A War.
“There’s Worse Places To Wait Out A War” is straight-up science fiction, in the space operatic tradition. It’s a good question he asks at the end. Why in God’s name would his species want to be at war with them?
Patreon Microfiction: Two-Fisted Cosmic Cthulhu Tales!
I kind of want, and kind of don’t want, to write more of “Two-Fisted Cosmic Cthulhu Tales!” On the one hand, it’ll annoy some people I enjoy annoying. On the other hand, I’m getting a bit old to be a pain in the butt. And on the squirming facial tentacles: will it even sell?
Patreon Microfiction: ‘Let Us Know When You’re Done.’
You know how you can walk into something, then have a lot of crap suddenly come down and suddenly people are screaming at each other, and you don’t know why? And then a big dude comes up to you, and lets you know that now is not a good time? And then politely suggests that you stand not on the order of your coming, but go at once?
Yeah, that’s humanity in ‘Let Us Know When You’re Done.’ Some doors you close again right away.
