Hey everyone,

I'm sorry for the second placeholder this month. It's to help pay for the funeral costs.

At the minimum I should be able to deliver two chapters this month, but I'm also hoping to be able to complete a third. I've had the upcoming scenes planned out for a long time, and I have plenty of notes on the events in these chapters, so it should flow quickly.

Best wishes,

Tefler

You will never catch up with the placeholders. You charge for approximately 2 placeholders monthly and deliver 0.75 chapters monthly.

SP Rupert

Too many empty promises. Too many excuses. Not enough communication to your audience or planning on your part. Very fraudulent behavior. You’ve lost all believability and destroyed trust with most of your audience. You’ve lost the respect of most of your readers. What’s it going to be next month? Dealing with the estate? Kids out for summer holiday? Another medical excuse? The new Internet cable incorrectly installed? House burnt down? Serious car crash? Satellite falls on your garage? If you were one of my employees, you would have been fired years ago for lack of performance. The double precharges has been your undoing. There is no recovery possible. You are just stealing from your fans at this point.

Tammy Hoffman

to bad you don't put as much time into the book as you do into excuses, sorry I think I'm out maybe I'll check back in 6 months to a year and see if you have a chapter by then

Brett Higgins

This is Fraud. Plain and simple. It’s the same story every single month. I need money for x reason, I will be able to do two to three chapters as I have all the scenes in my head, then silence for the whole month, another partial cheaper or re-written chapter and two more place holders. You need to get help, I am not sure what you do with your life, but you suck at managing time. The worst part is that you think so little of the people you are stealing money from every month, that you can’t even give updates throughout the month. You wait until the last minute, or normally the morning of the next day to post these sob stories. Life’s is going to hit you hard one of these months, when you don’t have any patreons to cheat money out of, and then you are going to be really SOL, hopefully you get it figured out before then.

Thomas Johnson

It would be a miracle if you could complete 2 chapters a year at this rate. 6 months in and we get 1.5 chapters. you're just a fricking thief at this point. losing interest fast.

Thomas Johnson

what good is a placeholder anyway. it's useless

Keith S

If I drop my subscription today, do I still receive all issues through 211 before I am dropped from the email list??? Or can I get a refund?? this has reached the point of being ridiculous. Please reply to my questions in the comments.

ED

Keith S. i don’t think so. but there may be a catch. in a couple billion years tefler will reach chapter 212. at that point you can become a member again and access the chapters through 211. it will take another billion year for the chapter 212 to be completed.

I'd be lying if I said I was happy about the placeholders but it costs me so little it's not even a rounding error on my monthly budget. I hope you can get over your burn out or writers block, which ever it is or both. I want to see faye wake up.

BerryStainedLips

Get your refund from Patreon. If people start telling on him, maybe he’ll start acting like he has any modicum of respect for the people whose wallets he’s been freely dipping into for the past 30 placeholders.

BerryStainedLips

Did you know it is possible to appreciate his continued writing and still feel utterly disrespected by persistent theft and excuses? He could get a loan for funeral costs, but he steals our money instead because we cannot hold him accountable for unpaid debts. You say “negative killjoy,” I say “accountability.”

Robster

Next time it will be stinky socks or the like..

It’s ok to love the chapter and deplore the lack of application from the author, we probably all loved it, eventually….. I have lost count of the number of times I seem to have read chapter 179. It’s like being stuck in Groundhog Day. Going to stick with it a few months more though, at this stage why not?

Steven Allen

I've lost count of how many placeholders and back chapters there are. I will just wait along with all the other folks.

Alex Jackson

He owes us 32 chapters now.... Just disgusting selfish greedy behavior.

Slauter

At this point 30 chapters so roughly 2 years of chapters assuming they do 2-3chapters a month

rich ed

Not a chance he will be able to follow through with his hollow promises. We will be lucky to get the second half by the end of the month. Annoying that he upped the minimum, I went to $1 now I am forced to be $2 USD which is $4 from where I hail. Yes I know that is a pittance but I have been paying him since he moved from literotic, for ages it was $5 then $10.

Johnboy

The most sadening part is having no energy left to read the story. This rude theft leaves one exhausted...

Big Dude

Tefler, you mentioned to your adoring fans this comment May 1st. "I've also nearly finished chapter 180, but I can't upload either chapter until my Internet is restored." The uploaded file was about 54 kbytes. Are you shrinking you chapter sizes now?

Paladin

From May 1st. I've also nearly finished chapter 180, but I can't upload either chapter until my Internet is restored. I'll have to wait until normal office hours before I can speak to their tech support and find out why it stopped working. I'll post the updates as soon as I have access to the Internet again on my desktop. From June 1st. With everything happening here, I haven't had a chance to complete chapter 180. I decided to just split it in half and give you the completed first half, as I still need to proofread and edit the second half. I hope to have that done for you in the next few days, but the funeral is tomorrow, so there might be a slight delay. WHICH EXCUSE ARE WE GOING WITH? WILL EDIT IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS ( that’s normally seen as 3). YOUR EYES MUST GET BROWNER THE LONGER YOU SPEAK, YOU ARE SO FULL OF SHIT!

... What if Tef never catches up with all those placeholders? What if we continue to see this awesome story's advancement, but still the placeholder debt remains high? Do we abandon this fine story or do we stay with it? -- Food for thought, ... ;-) ttfn

Oracle

I just looked back and saw that it took exactly 2 years for Tefler to complete 10 chapters (169 part 1 on May 31, 2024). At this pace, he'll catch up to the current placeholder in mid-2032...

Johnboy

And btw Tef sadly past away. These Posts are his beneficiaries desperatly trying to finish the story with AI...

MVFast

Let’s hope he steps it up a bit.

Big Dude

Hey M56S, the beauty of a free society are 1 - Tammy can come and go as she pleases 2 - You are a sad sycophant 3 - We can call Tefler out when we see Tefler doesn't keep his promises. While I dropped my value to $1/month, I still watch diligently when Tefler says he will post something, soon. Soon never comes yet you continue to lips south of the beltline.

Paladin

Actions Always Prove Why Words Mean Nothing.

SciFiFan

June 15...still only have half a chapter when Tef promised us two "at a minimum." There are only so many times I can reread the entire series while waiting for a single new chapter to be completed. Please Tef, just start keeping your monthly commitment to us. I kept my patronage commitment to you even when unemployed. Do the same for your patrons.

glenn kellogg

This is Tefler’s MO for over a year now. I called BS at 11 “placeholders” over a year ago … not surprised to check back in and see he’s over 30 now. No, he’ll never catch up, and making $4700/chapter he DOESN’T write is not much incentive to do otherwise. So the trick … sign back up every 6 months or so for $1, download the few chapters you’ve missed, then cancel for another 6 months. I don’t really miss the dollar a month but it’s the principle of aiding and abetting a grifter. OK … out of here again 😂

Christopher Davis

Hi, I am looking for a good story to read. Must have good updates regularly.

JB

Here we are on June 21st with absolutely no communication from Tefler. I’m going to drop my membership to the free category and check back in early July to read the comments and whatever pitiful output Tefler has managed to release given the myriad of medical and family issues he has suffered over the last 4 years. In my opinion he does not deserve our continued support.

TG

Useless for his readers, prosperous for hi

Big Dude

Recently, 21 days ago, this was posted: "As I mentioned in the previous post, I decided to break this chapter into two parts while I continue to edit the second half. I hope to deliver this to you in the next few days." So M56S , what constitutes "next few days"? Do you have a new definition for "hope"? My definition left 2.5 years ago. You are his chief sychophantic cheerleader.

Ken Cavin

Will you either "Shit or get off the pot"?

Neil Shepherd

Well one day to go until the delivery of two chapters "at a minimum" Can't wait!

Huber

Time to say goodbye. I followed the story from the very early chapters on Lit in late 2015 and would be have been happy to read about the further developments. Unfortunately the only development in the last six month was chapter 180 part 1 and the increase in numbers of placeholders. In case at some point in time you decide to move on with the story, let me know, I might like to come back.

Michael56Smith

07/01/2026, .... well looks like Tef skipped over us this June, but the whiners will be happy that he added no new Placeholders this month, ... -- Hey Tef reach out and update us soon, okay? ... ;-) ttfn

1bigguy

You leave and come back in a year with maybe two completed chapters

Michael56Smith

well, ... 07/01/2026, ... so, it looks like our ole buddy Tef has skipped over June, ... but those whiners will be happy that it also means he added no new Placeholders for this past month, ... -- Hey there Tef, can you give us an update soon? Just let us know how it is going, ... thanks, ... ;-) ttfn
