Not a full AMA, but there's been a lot of new patrons this month. I guess a lot of you are A Thousand Li fans. Some things you might not know:

- short stories aren't going to be voted upon anymore, since I have a few written that will be distributed but also, because I am not necessarily going to be writing them every month

- mostly because I have multiple side projects that are full series and bouncing into short story mode is difficult. I might still write shorts, but they'll be with intention to fill out specific areas in the world or what not. 

- good news is, that means going back to existing characters a little more I believe than I did before (like Fish Ball Quest).

- as mentioned in other notes, ATL 7 is finished first draft. It goes to editors next Wednesday at which point it'll go through the whole editing, redrafting and proofing process. 

- ATL 8 will get started after I'm done with ATL 7 sometime middle of next week, so I'll start writing that then give or take a few days.

- Side projects continue to trundle along. I'm still debating what to do for my full major project. I might throw up a giant poll for people to vote on in here... I'm sooo conflicted.

And that's it for now. Any questions, feel free to drop it below.

I'd love to see a sci-fi oriented LitRPG for your next major project. You did really great with System Apocalypse and most LitRPG is fantasy oriented. Before I discovered LitRPG I'd alternate between a fantasy and sci-fi book. You could also do a dungeon core book, those are usually good. Maybe combine the ideas in some new, unique way.

Yay for a sci-fi book, in whatever way it comes out. If it's an side spin of SA, better yet 🙂

Looks like each 3 book arc in aTL is given to one of the stages of cultivation. Given that most cultivators spend decades or stall entirely at core should we expect this third arc to have a lot of timr jumps?

And will Wu Ying get involved in the events from imperial march?

Will there be an pdf/e-pub version of ATL 8 when all chapters are released ?

Tao Wong

Yup! We send one out when it's edited, so it won't be exactly when it's done; but there will be.

Tao Wong

Mmm... scifi(ish) is one idea. More cyberpunk than anything else...

Tao Wong

Yup. For book 8, I think it'll end up with a lot of timejumps, covering a LOT of his time in Core. It might be longer, but we'll get to glimpse a lot of places. You'll probably have an inkling by the end of the book (7) of the way it'd work. :)

Tao Wong

Oooh, good question. Probably not. Or maybe peripheally in book 8. Hmmm.....

Robert Rowe

Yes, yes. It's been a long time since I've read a cyberpunk story. They can be a lot of fun and there are very few LitRPG cyberpunk books.
