The Marshmallow Ranch Gazette (Patreon)

Vol. 1, Issue 4 - Monday, March 7th, 2016

Hello, lovely patrons!

March has come in like a lion so far! Still, the Jackalope Serial Company is working hard to provide you the best in quality serial fiction every week; THE CULT OF MAXIMUS rolls on!

THE CULT OF MAXIMUS

Chapter 2 continues this Thursday March 10th with part 7, "Dawn's Early Light". Officers Beck and Mintson head back to Fogport Police Headquarters, but what will they find when they get there? And how will a sleep-deprived rabbit with a short fuse handle an interrogation with a ten-foot squirrel he believes has kidnapped his grandfather? We'll find out this week!

I hope you've enjoyed the serial so far; I'm finding my feet with the characters and the setting, and I've been trying to keep each part sufficiently short enough that I can release them on a weekly basis. It's hard, though -- now that the characters have their own legs, they keep surprising me in ways that keep the parts quite long. Silly Tom. Silly Jerry!

But don't worry, I'm fully committed to making sure I release on time. Chapter 1 will likely be posted to SoFurry and Furry Network towards the end of the month, once I sit down to edit it into a more coherent read. If any of you wonderful folks have suggestions for edits, I'd love to hear them! Just shoot me a message here or email serial.lope@gmail.com with your feedback!

MARCH MARSHMALLOW

Folks have been receptive to character sheets or bits of flash-fiction featuring the characters you've been introduced to so far, so I'll see what I can do about that! Tomorrow I'll post a short story that was (will be?) published in the latest MegaMorphics -- "New Year, New You". It's a quick introduction to a shared universe of gay growth, shrinking and muscle shenanigans shared by a small group of friends, and I hope you like it.

LUCKY CHARMS REWARD!

Those rock-star patrons donating at the Lucky Charms tier stay tuned -- your first chance to build a character to include is coming up! I'll reach out to you a little later to give you broad guidelines on what I'm looking for. You'll have two weeks to build your character before they're unleashed for a vote by your fellow patrons!

That's it for this edition of the Gazette, folks. See you on Thursday!
