Hey everyone,

I hate to have to charge in advance, but I haven't had any money incoming for a long time and my finances are getting pretty dire.

As you can see, I've been making great progress catching up with the chapters, so I'm hoping we'll be fully caught up in April. I've written a big chunk of 168 already and the rest of the battle scenes have all been planned out, I just need to flesh the rest of them out.

Anyway apologies for the placeholder.

Kind regards,

Tefler

No problem at all. Hope things get better soon.

Richard

Oooooooooooooo all those haters are gonna haaaaaaaate Ahhahahahahaha fuckem~

Alice

Thanks for writing again I really missed this story

Scott Burnetter

Just glad to have you back posting chapters again!!!!!

OechsneC

No problem. This helps you get more chapter to us. When you don’t have to worry about income. Just please don’t burn yourself out. We love your work, but your health is most important.

Liliana

I'd rather have placeholders and delayed story than no story at all. I hope things improve!

Joel Wyrick

Glad to help you out this tiny bit. Best story I've read in years.

Jeff

Not a problem at all with the placeholder for me. I would even contribute to a go fund me type of thing for you to get you through this stage. I love the the story and I want it to continue. I’m happy to do what little part I can to help.

Evan

I’m glad to see you returning to writing and I’m happy to help out in this instance. If you keep it up - WITHOUT BURNING OUT! - and get this done in April, or even early May, I won’t be complaining. I do think you should try to avoid pre-charging in general, but again, completely understandable in this instance and I’m fine with it. Best wishes to you and your family!

Antoine Scrivener

No problemo. Just hoping for no more major glitches.

Tefler fan

I'll say it again, but if you had a Patreon tier that charged $1-2 per month regardless of chapters, I'd sign up. That way you can have some reliable monthly income with a boost for each chapter released instead of having all the Patreon funds locked with no chapters.

“I asked for verification, and there’s no mistake. Lord Gahl’kalgor issue these orders personally.” Should be issued. In fact Valeria considered the Maliri facility... In fact, Valeria considered the Maliri... ? Looking forward to the rest of the story!

Nick White

You have been catching up and it's all good

rich ed

I cannot see the link to the story? Anyone else?

Tyler Derkearmian

You have made good progress toward catching up. Willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

*Aadya, focus fire on central dreadnought. Reverse at half speed, heading 190.* *Lorvelle, cease fire, evasive manoeuvres. Full reverse, heading 210.* *Yuenha, focus fire on dreadnought. Reverse at half speed, lower elevation 10 degrees.* I'm pretty sure these commands were sent to the fleets protecting Genthalas and I think there are only Dominator class battleships rather than dreadnought(s). :-) Thanks again for catching up. Really glad your feeling better and also for the story continuing. Missed the girls these past few months.

I said last year at some point that I wouldn't be paying for any more placeholders, and I'm sticking to that- setting Patreon to charge no more than once per month is an easy fix to that problem. I love this story, and I'm sorry Tef is having troubles. If chapters cost $2 or $3, I'd happily pay. But I'll pay, whatever the cost, only for what actually exists.

Steve

I upped my take to 3 dollar per month since he is back. Having no income will get us no more storyline, so I want Tef to get back at his writing we all enjoy so much. We waste so much money on literal trash that it is a highlight in my monthly reading getting some TSM for a change

Det2NCO

You've played the placeholder card one too many times. This is bull shit, I love the story but goodbye!!!

Tony

Fine by me.

Josh

You posted complete 167, and placeholders for 169 and 170. I hope that means that 168 is almost done and will soon be posted.

Michael

No problem have read the ones in Lit 3 times already since I came across you. From the proud yelling in my office "let's goooo" cheering on office workers thinking my favorite team just won the super bowl but in reality John and his crew saved the day to crying in my truck in a mall parking waiting for the wife because Faye was gone you are truly a great writer and glad I came across your work if you need to charge extra go for it man just glad your back.

Big Dude

You keep on trucking baby... Eddie Kendricks said so!!!

GDay (FMS)

All good Tefler we are here to support you, that is why we are on Patreon.....

Please make the voices stop.

Hell, charge me more if you want. This is Honor Harrington, Song of Fire and Ice, Dune, A Hymn Before Battle, and Ender's Game in one Goddamn story. I can't stand that people are bitching about 4$ that they paid 6 months ago. Stop punching the guy rowing the boat.

SomeYoungGuy

Just read 167. It’s beautiful. Keep them coming! Only 3 chapters behind now.

Antoine Scrivener

With kenn leuzinger all the way. Five stars for that comment alone!

GH

Where is place for 168?

Michael56Smith

-- Tef's last / previous payday was, the placeholder for chapter #168, and it was dropped way back on 31 July 2023, .... and until now that was his most recent payday (from his fans via Patreon) as well, ... ;-) ttfn

Michael56Smith

.111: ... Humm -- and since it has been a couple of weeks since Tef dropped chapter #167 on us, (then, 31 March, and today is 14 April), ... so he MIGHT be ready to drop #168 any day now, (fingers crossed), .... ;-) ttfn

mrclean

Place Holder just means I have 3 more chapters to look forward to. Excellent story, keep em coming

Justin Webb

I'm cool with the placeholders as long as it doesn't get to out of hand

Jeremey Bartel

When things are running like normal when does the next chapter come out feels like I have been waiting for months and months sorry but in so excited it's awsome . I don't want to go through months of waiting like tamryn Tamer herald of shalia books I love books and crave more I'm begging please not much longer . And yes I'm a 50 year old retired navy that loves books more then stupid TELEVISION

EroticPoetic

This story cured my social media addiction! There’s internally nothing better on TikTok or Insta! Keep it coming Tef! Love the works… I’m in as long as you’re delivering… just don’t take too long… lol … getting withdrawal symptoms over here!

Sol Tangoran

I gotta ask, what happened to chapter 168?

Mark Strom

It is so good that we can tell others that we are "Patrons of the arts" 😀🙃😊

Jeff Combes

Not mad yet but start producing before you

Jeff Combes

charge. You lost some follower because of this before. Just like any business or job, you need to produce more than a hope to continue having customers.

Michael56Smith

-- In May, Tef needs to finish off / complete chapter #168, and to drop at least one more chapter (#169) before the end of May, ... or more, as Tef needs to work off those darned placeholders, ... so the more completed chapters, the better, .... -- I Love this story! ... ;-) ttfn

Det2NCO

There have been 12 placeholders payed, you are 4 behind do not rewrite what has been written. Get on with the story and catch up.

David Kepler

"Tomorrow." He keeps using that word, but I do not think it means what he thinks it does.

Christ Jensen III

"tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow, you're always a day away!!!!

.121: remember way back to chapter #120, .... on page 7 (Literotica.com) we find this remark by Faye, "Faye desperately wanted to talk to John about something she'd seen on the security cameras, but he'd been busy all evening and she hadn't had an opportunity.". .... --- Then ole Larn'kelnar's Dreadnaught aimed a very powerful energy beam into the Invictus, and vaporized Faye's server, killing the perky purple Fairy, ... (no back-up) ... her death was accidental, wrong place, etc, ... so, it was too late for Faye to pass the message on to John, ... -- Perhaps if / when Daphne is scanning the old / archived camera feeds, before they get deleted, she'll see the something that Faye wanted to speak with John over? or something else triggers a data search that turns it up, .... -- maybe Tef will get around to this loose thread eventually, ... ;-) ttfn

Michael56Smith

So. what might Faye have seen? some crewmember being in two places at once (an imposter? or a time traveler? or a shapeshifter?), .... And what was being done that Faye felt it could wait on for a good time to mention it, ... thoughts? ... '-) ttfn
