November 14 Update (Patreon)

Another pretty productive week, but I'm less intensely enmeshed in work. Therefore you get fanart and short stories!
We have more fantasy scenes commissioned by genericname12345 above. One of these could take place in the game's continuity, but the others are scenarios that you won't be seeing in official art. As he commented on the first: "This is just indulgence. I really like Annah's design - even if this artwork would make her head explode." As for me, it's nice to see everyone's affection for Janine illustrated. ^-^
Second, I have some short stories I've written:

I know not everyone will be interested in these, but they're one of the things I've done, so you deserve to read if you want. The three are pretty different, so I'll describe them here, roughly in order of decreasing accessibility:
A Daughter's Smile: I was aiming for a sort of sword and sorcery with the emphasis on Lovecraftian hellscape. If you're a long time patron, you might have already read this one.
Faster Than Memory: Conceptual SF exploring a future in which light speed and FTL messages coexist for different classes.
Black Box++: Somewhat experimental story about a conversation with an artificial intelligence, from the perspective of the AI.
Writing these was a nice mental break, but it seems like nothing will come of it. As near as I can tell, the short story market is a decaying husk that I don't have the energy to navigate. But I put effort into these, so if one of them seems like your sort of thing, you might enjoy it!
Next week I will be asking all of you for some input on future decisions, but for now, back to work.
