I guess I'm going to work sleep deprived tomorrow.

Jesh

I'm so excited!!!!

BrianM

Thank you, Mr. Tefler! Always a pleasure to get another Chapter in this exciting story.

Evan

Thank you, Tefler!

Braw

a Norman knight

Thanks Tefler. Just made my month! Cheers!

SuperAzureReader

YES SIRRRR! Thanks Tefler imma dive into this.

Emma B

Great! It’s finally here

Vizth Hal

This honestly just fixed an otherwise shitty day. Thankyou

Michael56Smith

OMG, Yah-hoo!!! Tef tied in a few dangling loose strings,.. but then he added in another whole ball of yarn, dang-me if John's Maliri Matriarch isn't determined to have him impregnate each and every one of the new Matriarchs as more storylines are preparing to come together. So more please,.. loved it!!! TTFN

Bp Hlpt

Many thanks, Tefler!

Christopher Kumar

Can you please tag it when all the final scenes are in :)

Kim Biel-Nielsen

Yes yes - looking at the hole in the keyboard - where the F5 key used to be.

Jhonaes351

Thank you sir, good stuff as usual. Cheers!

Chuck Baldwin

I am in awe; John isn't the only one that has become whole, and this chapter shows your true skill Tefler. thank you so much, but that last line, ARGHHHHHHHHH

SuperAzureReader

By God this chapter was amazing. Your writing gets better and better. You are without doubt one of the best author's I've ever read and probably ever will. Regardless of what others say please take your time with this and don't burn out. I want to see the end so bad and would cry if I was deprived of such. Thanks for all your effort Tefler.

Evan

Tefler, I very much enjoyed this chapter and I loved the last line in it (so far). Thank you very much! I posted a bunch of typos to the Discord server so as not to crowd this area, but they were all fairly minor, IMO. Great work as always.

Phatsuo

Absolutely amazing as always. I never get tired of reading this story.

Kensyi

Best chapter so far, damnit have to wait for the rest, gahhhh, also, spot on description of golf.

Kensyi

Seen it, love it,. Also spot on

AzureReader

Super chapter. Lots of story and character development. Creative resolutions to matriarch issues. Brought the loss of eight Brimorian fleets finally home for them. The reveal on the temple arena. All of it enjoyable - I was grinning through the whole story. There is a confidence and maturity around the sexual aspects of the story... for John, Tefler, and perhaps for us readers at this point.

Nathos

Page 54: John says "I wasn't expect any" I don't know if this version you have put out is still being reviewed by editors, in addition to you adding more scenes, but thought it would be helpful to point that one error out. I was too captivated by this brilliant continuation of your brilliant series to notice anything else! >w< Thanks Tef!

Shade

Thanks for the chapter! Please show us the other duel spectated by the Maliri from either Luna or an audience member P.O.W. Pretty please? And take your time to write, we care for you :)

Bruce Parker

Well worth the wait. It flowed so quickly. I could have easily spend the rest of the day reading if there had been more. looking forward to the next chapter.

someone somewhere

You know its good / bad when it is 1:30 am and you say to yourself , erm... I did not quite get that last bit so I guess I need to sleep and read it in the AM :) Conversely, this morning when re-reading I was sad for a moment when it was done as I thought how short it felt.... Hrms... to long to finish when sleep deprived... to short because it flows so well you do not want it to end... Tefler --- you win :) Thanks for another great chapter and I do hope that Jade is around a certain deep Lord on soon .... (queue 3 stage laugh) :)

Arrowglass

Another triumph Master Tefler!!! So many fascinating personal stories too!!!

Michael Glowacki

Another great chapter tefler, keep up the great work

Teun Segers

Good chapter. I'm wondering if they executed Cmdr Walker yet?

SuperAzureReader

I reread it and have to say your skill is consummate. You have gotten much better with the sex scene and they don't feel quite as...detached as before. Idk if it was intentional (with you idk sometimes😂) but the sex scenes didn't feel as necessary and could've easily been replaced(though I concede sex is the best way to express growing relationships and emotions). They have grown to be more integral and full of small nuances. I really appreciate the realistic relationships and dynamics you have in place between side/main characters(the dynamics in general are out of normal values in the first place at any rate). I'm excited to see John either develop or unlock a new swordsmanship. Jade is also oh so mysterious nowadays seemingly like she knows something that no one else does(or maybe feel something as she relies on instinct more). I also really love the scenes of him helping the girls or other ppl in general it wonderful to see these different sides of ppl bloom. I hope Walker is ok though. I'd hate for him to executed for a scumbag like Mason. Again thanks for your hard work and the time and effort you put into this story. Take care of yourself first and foremost though.

G E

I will second that last comment. Normally I skim over the sex and some romance scenes, but this time I read them all the way through even if I sped through the sex. Very good touch on the relationship in this chapter and I am so pleased with the way you're portraying the characters. Would love to see more of my favourite Sakura. :D

kimberklr

really liked that one . 2 thumbs up.

Shree_Pratham

No need to round it upto 30k word count, story seems fine as it is to me. Thank you.

Big Dude

Regarding Walker, I can see Lynette contacting Alyssa to help her find out the truth before they head back to beat down the Enclave and discover the comms beacon and Walker having Brimorian DNA modifications as well. This will further infuriate John. Then when they find out about Cephna, ooooooh boy, the fireworks will happen.

Matt

Thank you for yet another thoroughly enjoyable chapter.

Rhys

Its the situation with the outer Rim that has me most intrigued. Who is going to go too far, and will the Fleet Admiral's visit backfire horribly?

Michael56Smith

Q: will Walker end up being the Tefler 'jumped the shark', or will we all be like, wow, I didn't see that coming?!! And get Cephna away from that self important fish-stick soon, okay? Loving the story, thank you! TTFN

Brian Woods

So many unexpected twists and turns, I’m starting to feel like the possessed in a horror movie with how my head is spinning :)! First of all, interesting development on punishing Sarinia; can’t say I was expecting another personality rewrite, especially combining the sisters like that. Intriguing, and quite unique, well done! Secondly, I see you took a page from the beloved Starcraft franchise to answer the possible future for the Outer Rim. If I read you right, it would appear the Rim, with the inclusion of Port Heracles and it’s resources, will become a Confederacy of sorts to govern themselves, leaving the Core to colonize the new worlds in Kintark space and expand their new colonial strategies regarding infrastructure and support. Sounds like a UED versus the Terran Confederacy/Dominion from the aforementioned series, should be fun to watch. Third, that same development ties into the newly afraid Athgiloi, as in order to suppress dissident and subversive behavior in his Enclave he will need an easy enemy to overpower, and a freshly minted spacefaring group should be a good target for conquest, save for the fact Alyssa promised them assistance in case of trouble. Woe to they who attempt to cross the mighty Baen’thelas! Finally, your final scene with John, Luna, and Jade seems to suggest interesting undertones of memories returning and other secrets to be uncovered soon, as others have mentioned before. Can’t wait to see what’s around the bend!

Kensyi

I actually don't agree with the punishment for Sarinia, I don't feel like that change was in keeping with her wishes. I don't want to spoil anything so I'm gonna stop with that, I just don't feel like that was what she wanted.

Michael56Smith

Okay, I forgot this until I began my reread; were the Malirian fleet not supposed to save the Brimorian troop transports to move the Abandoned, so why would Edraele have them destroy the pre sale, of the senior Abandoned for trade to the Kirrix, Brimorian transports ( capacity of 100,00 at 10,000 merfolk per ship and 10 ships ), unless these crafts were just plain too disgusting for people transportation ( darn evil amphibious bullies ). I want the T-fed fleet Admiral to send a huge ass assault fleet into Brimorion space to wipe out the other half of their fleets, bomb them back to a lower tech society, and evacuate the Abandoned to the Callopian (sp?) shoals worlds. And any Brimorians that want to live in a growing society can come teach the Abandoned (or help in other ways as the Merfolk develop into a mature and self-governing society themselves). TTFN

Cornbread

Here is an idea I had. The party is actually a surprise birthday party for Dana. When they sing happy birthday, Dana gets a memory from her past. This will prompt John to read her mind and find suppress memories. Which will show her past and that she has a brother, Walker. They do a search and discover Walker current situation and intervene. Which will send them back to Brimorian space and to Cephna What do you think 🤔

Delegus

I can see why there is more time between chapters than before. This has gone from a hobby to an artistic masterpiece. I am honored you share the story with us, thank you.

Martin Edmonds

Faye :'( Wheres is Faye, Forget the wars, let them kill eachother while John goes to find Faye <3

Sparky's Wife!!!

So I had a thought. Faye kept seeing something and was going to tell John about right before the attack. What if what she was seeing was the scans that Larn was doing on the Invictus? Why couldn't she have jumped to Larn's ship in a last ditch effort to save herself? What if she has been slowly infiltrating and taking over some of the ship that now is home to Johns parents just waiting for John and the girls to be close enough for her to jump back home?

Justin Webb

I think fey won't be returning for some time, simply because they have to much to do. Find Mael'neraks throne world, activate the the wormhole gate, locate Larn'calenars marooned fleets( also probably be good idea to take and mine as much of the black metal element as possible, maybe even build a base so john has a second point to launch attacks from.), prepare defenses for Marli territory as well as Ashanti and Trancaren space. And then train all the Marli to use the new equipment. Lastly figure out how to use the soul forge without killing and sucking the life from them. After all that then fey should make a aperence.

Lawrence Johnstone

With all of the swooning Maliri everywhere John goes, maybe he should consider changing his name to "Frankie?" But, I guess they don't wear bobby sox.

Azwiz

It'll be interesting to see how the federation handles the resistance . Coming soon . But I am also wondering how the mending of Sirinia develops .

ByzFan

Another great chapter. Thank you!

David Shmilowitz

It's been a week, is this the final version now or are there still more scenes to be added?

TranceR

I'm glad he skipped the 1/2 chapter long sex scene. I spend more time skipping the sex scene than reading. Since were down to one chapter a month, I think it would be good to stay on the story not the repetitive sex. Good chapter over all

Being Free!

Great Story Line, I enjoyed the read!

valiant8086

meh, can't wait. downloaded this one. Please do some sort of notice that will push update to my inbox so I'll know if you change it like you said you were gonna?

Michael56Smith

,.. pant, pant, drool,.. hit poor little defenseless F5 key again,.. pant, pant etc. TTFN

John Jameson

Just noticed that in Chapter 125, the Larathyran girl starts out being called "Auralei" but towards the end of the scene her name morphs into "Aurelia" multiple times. I hope she joins the crew when they requisition the Larathyran ships!

Azwiz

Very compelling story . But the erotica needs to stay . He has reduced it by too much . If you don't like erotica . Don't read it .

Khris v

The story is great the way he writes it. If you think the erotica is reduced too much, go find a story with the sex you want or write your own. You should follow your own advice, if you don't like the way it is being done, Don't read it!

Grandizer

I am not sure that bringing Faye to a real biological body is happening anytime soon, they have Little one and others that would also crave the ability to no longer be a wooden boy as well. Don't get me wrong, I can see if this does happen we see another instance of a rogue AI... Why can't I deepthroat John's cock like Faye does? If I can't drink his man juice then no one will, and the AI goes crazy and starts killing all organic life. :D

Azwiz

Yes I like more . I like more reading . I like Tefler . Enough to be a Patreon patron .

Michael56Smith

,.. Pant, pant, huff, puff, drool,.. hit that dang F5 key again,.. squint, look, frown,.. pant pant, drool, (so tired,..),.. hit F5 key again,.. rinse and repeat until we next hear from John and the girls,.. squint, pant, drool, press key,.. etc,.. TTFN

David Shmilowitz

I'm running out of spare F5 keys, hopefully the chapter gets updated to the final version soon.

Evan

My best guess is that the chapter will be updated and the next chapter will be released sometime within the next three weeks… but that's just a guess on my part and not meant as an attempt to influence or pressure anyone else in any manner whatsoever.

Brandon Moore

Has this chapter been updated as of yet? Was holding out reading it

Michael56Smith

,.. More of the pant, pant, huff, puff, drool,.. hit that dang F5 key again,.. squint, look, frown,.. pant pant, drool, (so tired,..),.. hit F5 key again,.. rinse and repeat until we next hear from John and the girls,.. squint, pant, drool, press key,.. etc,.. (replacing the F5 key as needed) TTFN

Michael56Smith

YEA!!! the updates are in!!!! over a dozen extra pages, hoo-ray!!! (replacing worn F5 key,.. again) TTFN [ 03/12/2021 - PST - PM ]

Tefler

Thanks for the feedback everyone! It was interesting reading the comments regarding the erotica being reduced too much. I've been skipping quite a few bedroom scenes recently, in particular those with the Maliri matriarchs, because I was worried it would get repetitive. It's quite a tricky balancing act, but I definitely don't intend to strip out all the erotic scenes in the future.

Teun Segers

01:20 in the morning... Who needs sleep when there's new TSM content?

Aussie Rob

For those interested, I just ran it through DiffChecker.com and the only changes apart from spelling or word choice are at the end. So, if you've read the original release you just need to read the last 15 pages.

Michael56Smith

Ahhh, a tasty little snack, but over with so quickly! And now it's a half month, or so, until TSM # 140, I can scarcely wait!!! ( oh my poor F5 key,.. but I am so happy that I got my TSM fix today!) TTFN

Michael56Smith

Oh John, so dedicated to improving the Protectorate by helping the New Matriarchs,.. such a nice Bean'thelas he is!!! ( and sexy new warships for the Grays) I can't wait for the party!! TTFN

David Shmilowitz

Is this the final version update, or are there still more scenes to be added?

Joseph Casson

I cannot open the file with MS Word. I gives me an error. First time in 139 chapters. The original Chapter 139 gave me no problems.

Joseph Casson

The file seems to be corrupted. I have tried several different ways to repair it without success.

Bruce Parker

It reads so quick. it just flows. bring on chapter 140

SuperAzureReader

I had just read the chapter for the 4th time. Then you posted that. I'm looking forward to him developing his own sword style. I would like to see him use his rune affinity more too. That being destruction. But we likely won't see that until the fights come

James Mayer

Now that they are at Genthalas he really needs to work his way from top to bottom. Matriarchs, fleet commander, planetary governor all of the leadership needs 3 helpings on the same day.

A Human

Thanks Tefler that was fun. Edraele has the right strategy for John to meet the matriarchs, and it was good to see him healing the wounds caused by Maliri society. I just wonder what epiphany Jade had when she said she knew who he was now? In my opinion there's no such thing as too many displays of swordsmanship in the story. Don't worry about repetition, it is the key after all.

Dominic Janning

I've been re-reading this book. It really gets annoying how much people Apologize. It seems every other paragraph John apologize to some, then them right back, them him again for worrying, then them again for making him worry. I love this story!!! Just gets old.

James A

word couldn't open it for me?

Arrowglass

Tefler has done it again with the addition of the 6000 words to Ch. 139. It fleshes out and adds to an already impressive chapter in this mesmerizing and addictive saga!!! Thanks!

wolverine006

How many pairs of Matriarchs are left after Marsendra Helewynn and Lyvia Amarille? I didn't do an exact count, but I am under the impression that there are 2 more pairs after that. John is Jade's absolute love of her life. She is completely smitten with him. But we must remember that she is thousands of years old and he is only 40. John may actually be fufilling a long forgotten ancient prophecy that she now remembers. At the end of 136 Tefler wrote, "His senses overloaded, John felt himself floating in a Zen-like state, his mind teetering on the edge of oblivion. In the billions of years the galaxy had existed, his astronomical psychic ascendency was unprecedented."

James Mayer

Question. Thralls have a bad reaction to other thralls but do they have the same reaction to unclaimed seed races if not and since John breaks all rules by having more than one Matriarch can he claim that race by making one of them into a Matriarch. If this is possible and all rules are out the window and say Sakura sneaks aboard an assassinates a Progenitor without any other deaths can he the claim that race by claiming that Matriarch.

Who Me

139 is finalized!

Arakasi

Yay! but you have gone from 2-3 chapters a month to once a month... need them chapters faster!:D

Son Of Anubis

Get that ship cleavage! Grey's love cleavage.

TF4EVA

can't wait to see the reaction...

Brian Woods

So, I’ve been pondering this for awhile, and I think Tefler has given us enough hints to basically guess what John’s new swordsmanship style will be. Follow me here, cause the point might be a little hard to get behind. Given his runic affinity for Destruction, his Eldritch Focus (using Larn’s scepter as evidence) being a ancient sword, and his general use of widespread applications of power like lightning storms and strength enhanced blows and telekinetic blasts, methinks his ‘technique’ in battle should be Shock And Awe, also known as Rapid Dominance, which is defined as an overwhelming use of force against multiple strategic targets in rapid succession, so as to demoralize an opponent and remove their will to fight. While Progenitors are, on the whole, confident to the point of arrogance and pridefulness, and likely immune to bouts of surrender, if John were to hit someone hard enough and fast enough, he could cause them to panic and make potentially lethal mistakes in the heat of battle, leading to his ultimate victory. It would call for complete situational awareness of his environment, and possibly the ability to attack from multiple directions at once for disorientating purposes, but just imagine the fun such a style would be to write. Thoughts?

James Mayer

Before Faye dies she keeps seeing things on the internal cams or sensor sort of like Irillith. She also has glitches is it possible that since she isn’t organic John might be changing her in a different way and just doesn’t know it. I was wondering if maybe she was becoming the ship’s AI instead of just an AI. Because her server was destroyed she is trapped until she finishes her change

Philip Hannum

What does Jade know? This sentence has been bugging me this entire time, from the first publishing of this chapter, what does she know? Does she know what he is? Is he more than a Progenitor? Does she know the style he fights with? Someone else mentioned a 'shock and awe' style which I agree with since it was mentioned during the final fight with his guide. His sword seemed to be in more than one location at the same time. I am sure she knows his true name (right after John defeating his guide), but what else could she know that we don't? Ugh, this is killing me. Also, when are we going to leave the space station, head for the nebula and find the lost home world of the last Progenitor to rule the Malari? Soon I hope, for this part of the story needs to be flushed out before John's story ends. Thank you Tefler for drawing us all into this world. I enjoy it very much.

Grandizer

I can see the black metal that freaks Alyssa out so badly will need to be conquered first. I already know that John banging a woman on it can change it to white, but unless he plans on making the rounds of the entire soul forge, I expect that he will be able to use his connections with his woman to spread out the effect and turn more of the soul forge and any other large ship far faster. I am not sure that it will be up to Sparks to come up with a new method / metal, unless she can get her hand on a piece of the converted bed he destroyed already.

James Mayer

I wonder if John can break a Matriarchs bond on another Progenitor before killing him if Alissa puts a shield over her brain cutting her off first.

mike2415370

As far as the black metal goes... Helen can project positive energy to beings, I would like to see her power grow to be able to project that "power" towards an enemy progenitor ship and neutralize it's strength... Opinions???

mike2415370

Steve C. .. true, but she is aware that her contribution to John's eldritch power DOES in fact contribute to his ability for mas distruction... I do see your point, I don't see John doing that...

Michael56Smith

I have been pondering something, and that is what if John and company can find a 'good' use for the SOUL FORGE, (if they can find one ready made,.. ) they need to have one without the horrid taking of thrall life ( that really sucks! ), Some which-way Dana, John or Alyssa ( or Helene for all I care ) finds a way to use the forge to make 'superior' war ships for the Maliri, (you know, faster. stronger, and more powerful ); possibly channeling John's superior and more powerful, raw and voluminous psychic power instead of rending thralls souls for it's creative powers; also, if they can they must generate the better ships at a rapid enough rate to be useful in their situation? ,.. and I still wonder about our big rocky buddies (Trankarans) SUN Forge,.. could they take examples of the 'superior' crafts to the Rock-Brothers and Sisters and then replicate those ships multiple times using their Sun Forge? maybe something along those lines? TTFN

Big Dude

I was thinking. I know very scary. Anyway I suggested a few days ago the Invictus gets a size upgrade. While the Maliri are modifying it the find a big missing piece of the Mael'Nerak server and with the new Grand Engineering Overlord microscopic metallurgical eye, the server gets repaired and Faye returns. Thoughts?

Robster

Nope! Would be fatal to Alyssa. ??? Why???

David Shmilowitz

So, I'm curious. Its been about 3 weeks since the chapter released and its still not the final version. Can you give us a update tefler, on when we can expect the final version for this chapter?

Tefler

I only tend to add the "final version" tag once I've completed all my edits, which by that point is just a couple of typos and grammar mistakes. I don't plan on adding any additional scenes to the current version.

jason w idell

i look forward to 140 and beyond, and i was wondering what advice you have for a future creator on this site?

Michael56Smith

,.. press F5 Key again,.. pause, blink, drool, frown,.. pause , press F5 again, pause, blink,.. rub eyes,.. drool some more, wipe chin, frown,.. endlessly repeat,.. looking for the holiest of grails, TSM #140,.. drooling again,.. frown, blink, press F5 key,.. where oh where has my TSM gone, oh where, oh where can it be,.. looping in an endless cycle again,.. l-< TTFN

Who Me

Not for another 6 days, children!

Forbsey

It's like you lot are playing Tefler whack a mole for info LOL.

Michael56Smith

,.. I wonder if TSM #140 is nearing the end of the TSM portion of John's tale? Are we closing in on the "Progenitors and yucky dream monsters get destroyed" portion of the saga? Who knows, maybe that pseudo traitor Tom Walker could play a role, maybe?!! Or the Maliri babes go on a kick-ass rampage through the various Progenitor fleets?!! Yummy, can't wait! l-) TTFN

Brian Woods

Soooo.....to while away the hours (93 or so until the end of the month) I thought it might be a good time to start speculating on the Invictus upgrades to come. Likely over the next 5 chapters or so, Dana will find a way to produce a black metal equivalent, albeit not one capable of being quickly made enmasse. Therefore, at the very least, many Progenitor level weapons and tech become reproducible for the ship. These include, but are not limited to Quantum Flux Cannons, Quantum Disintegrators, Quantum Annihilators, and Wormhole Generators. Not to mention near impenetrable plating for the ship. So then, what does the Invictus look like after the upgrades? Your thoughts...

Michael56Smith

,.. and looking back at my long winded comments to Brian's challenge tonight, I do hope it helps some of you to tolerate the agony of waiting for the 'real' TSM from the 28th century story master, M. Tefler! Nighty-night folks, as the sun rises in the East. TTFN ( ta ta for now) ;-)

Michael56Smith

,.. Oh, and give, sell or subtlety pass onto our luscious T-Fed Fleet Admiral the specs for Dana's Quantum cannon, or at least the new and improved Heavy cannons that Dana incorporated into the Ashanath's curvy new ships designs, and maybe her version of the Maliri Pulse Laser cannon too, in the Invictus crew's next upgrade to the Terran-Federation's fleet. Who needs a military R&D dept. when you've got Dana! And for heaven's sake, do some significant upgrade to the T-Fed's reliance on Titanium Armor plating as well. Maybe an agreement with our little grey friends for some Etherium. ( with Dana's improved psi-device the Greys could make Aluminum based armor for ships hulls that would be 4 to 5 times Titanium's strength ). Or bring on some version of Dana's Invictium that the human's could use without the psychonic factors. Even a twice folded (by humble machinery I guess) and her Invictium would be double to triple their current Titanium strength. Now just get the Trankaran's to provide plenty of the raw materials cheap enough,.. so, John the white Lion Space Trader of the Federation, with his oh so sexy Lionesses, traders to the stars,.. TTFN

Michael56Smith

Well, my long comments have given all you TSM addicts something new to read and to comment on yourselves, so either thank me or tell me to bugger off,.. less than 70 hours to go,.. thank you very much! ; - ) TTFN

Zachary Hoover

I just wanna see antimatter tech or dark matter tech or nanotechnology

commatoes

Peeking from behind the couch (reminiscent of a meerkat) to see if anything has changed. Hitting the Patreon snooze button again.

Zachary Hoover

What would be kinda cool if when John faces off against big bad boss progenitor and somehow harnesses the rage and power from all those innocents slain by every progenitor ever they (lend John their strength) and he lances this a$$ big time lol just a cool thought and I do remember John with time Manipulation in the astral why hasn’t he harness this power yet or maybe give it to jahenna

James Mayer

What if Jehanna had the power to to direct connect to any system without using communication beacons

Michael56Smith

James,.. do you mean like Irillith's super cyber astral telepath powers?!! ,.. been there, done that! ;-) ,.. oh, I get it, no hardware involved at all. Like totally wireless! With no long distance charges ever! Wow! She could reach out and touch somebody! TTFN

Michael56Smith

I would take a guess that Tef ( and John ) might gift Jehanna with some type of a 'get to bottom of the story' power(s), like a lie detector or compulsively telling the truth powers (telepathy based?). Although some kind of super spy ability would be rather cool too, like invisibility, or super hearing ( through walls and such ), or even walking through walls like a ghost. : - 0 TTFN

James Mayer

I was thinking how many times they couldn’t contact anyone in the core worlds until they hit the beacons. It would b nice to never worry that and contact anyone from anywhere

We may have to get used to a chapter once in 2 months. That may be the new norm

thomas rodrian

Just wondering how people are getting ready for chapter 140. Are you reviewing past chapters, reading at least the last chapter, or reading chapter based on what you expect to see in 140? I’ve read a few chapters already and by tomorrow night I’ll be through 139 again. For those who have not started getting ready for chapter 140, you might want to get moving. Not only will it be great, the best 3SM minds expect it to address several open issues. Some of them expect Shanryl to make an appearance but I think Athgiloi might take a backseat for another chapter or two, Tefler already introduced fish food in 139.

John Jameson

I've been updating my version of the TSM timeline started by DarkStoryMaker. I'm up to the start of Chapter 131 now, finding plenty of interesting plot points which are still to be resolved!

Lewis Wentworth

Before I joined Patreon and was just a Literotica lurker, i would re-read all chapters every time I finished the latest one. I have re-read them so many times I find myself quoting them on occasion. As always, I am looking forward to the next.

Who Me

Only 27 more hours until F5 time!

Cornbread

I’m getting antsy for 140. Hope Tefler is doing ok. This must be getting harder.

MuddMaxx

Save that precious F5 key! Tefler hasn't even told us that his editors have seen any of the new chapter yet. ---- Screw it! ---- F5, F5...

Justin Webb

I hope we get a new chapter today, I need my TSM fix!!

William Pitcher

On the 26th, Tefler said on Discord that he was 'aiming' to have 140 done by the end of the month.

Cornbread

OK. I am back with beer and pizza for the waiting party. Any word from our Leader?

Tefler

Unfortunately, I picked up a nasty cold from my son now he's returned to school, which has wrecked my productivity at the end of the month. I'm at about 22.5k words into chapter 140 at the moment, so I'll work on it a bit longer tonight then release it before going to bed. I'll wrap up the final scenes over the next few days.

Putting a cold pack on my F5 key. It was starting to smoke a bit

Michael56Smith

,.. Hey Cornbread, are there any more brew-skis left? and no, I don't want any more of your Anchovy contaminated, fishy smelling, Pizza,.. so I'd appreciate it if you'd keep it to yourself,.. please! :-0 TTFN

Michael56Smith

Hey, an approximately 25K to 30k word range chapter #140, (after Tef adds in a few more promised scenes anyway,..), this is not too shabby. especially when our runny nosed author has a nasty cold! That's novella sized,.. We should count ourselves damned lucky! -- Now,.. do I devour everything that comes in over the internet tonight, or do I wait a few days to get the whole enchilada? Ah, who am I kidding, I'll inhale tonight's partial installment, and wreck another F5 key awaiting the additional scenes over the next few days,.. oh well, at least I have a plan,.. burp!,.. pass me another cold one please! ;- ) And do NOT tell me that the expected additional scenes to TSM #140 were just an April Fools day gag! Tefler would not do that to me, damn it! :-0 TTFN

Note to Tefler... I find it really annoying to wait a month for a full chapter.. (guess everybody has withdrawing symptoms after finishing each chapter) ...... As you are unable to get two chapters out a month as you would prefer and keep wishing .... (for what ever unfortunate reason)................ I noticed my unease has been reduced considerably now you got this chapter spread two weeks apart. ... i think i prefer reading half a chapter every two weeks than waiting for a complete chapter a whole month..... UNLESS you can produce two or three chapters a month .. (what am i wishing for ?? ..LOL)

I am wondering if the new additions are at the end of the story are scattered throughout the story.

Some writer use 3••• to show the changes and others use ~~~ I will have to figure this out.
