Howdy, patrons!

At long last, "Stable Love" is coming to its epic conclusion! The fourth and final part will be up tomorrow, which means that after six months the second serial will at least be completed! Hooray! This one, to be fair, was significantly longer than "Gift Exchange" and took quite a while to edit, but I'm fairly proud of it. Hopefully you've enjoyed the ride!

I'm trying really hard to develop a more consistent writing practice, and I won't go into detail about how hard that is all over again. But I am working on other stories that I hope to share with the lot of you soon! Tomorrow I'll actually sit down and try to create a project list so I know what I'll be working on, have an estimate for roughly how long it should take, and try to come up with some sort of release schedule based on that.

Next month, I'll post a two-part story from a little while ago called "Too Much Universe". It was a sort of test flight for a setting where a large, loosely-connected social circle gets into various size-related shenanigans. Some folks will lean on science, some on magic, but most of them will be large or size-shifty to some degree. I'm...still working on characters and the "rules" for the setting, but I think it'll be a good way to practice various aspects of storytelling -- like consistent characterization, dialogue and action scenes. 

For now, please enjoy the conclusion of "Stable Love". Both serials will be released elsewhere starting next month -- "Gift Exchange" will be a Christmas-in-July thing, while "Stable Love" will hopefully get folks through the dog days of August and bring folks in to the Patreon. That's the dream, anyway! 

By the way, I'm not sure if you folks know this yet -- but Danath has restarted his Patreon, which is soooooo awesome! He only has one reward tier at $1/story, so it's quite easy to get everything he's offering! I highly recommend helping him out if you have a little extra cash to throw his way: https://www.patreon.com/danath

That's it for now, patrons! See you soon!
