Chapters coming, edits coming (Patreon)

I've been going down a rabbit hole of 1800s census data and the university of Missouri prices and wages archive to learn more about the nitty-gritty details of cowboy life. I wanted to clear my head before I start the final stretch of Unfathomable Power book 2 and kind of bit off more than I anticipated.
With that said, I have some edits to make to the American Eldritch chapters that I've put up. Basically I wanted to call elves "natives" because they are native to the new world America finds itself in but I ran into some problematic trouble when I thought about "...well what the fuck do I call Native Americans?" Having two groups of people called natives would be confusing and irritating. So I erred on showing deference to real people with real history and I'm calling elves something else. I'm workshopping words with a friend who is a better judge of this stuff, as I am whiter than Casper.
The wild west is an incredibly fun setting but it also was a period of time awful or downright horrific for anyone that wasn't a White Male and I don't want to diminish the peoples of that time, unknowingly or not.
So if you go back to those chapters and see changes, that's why.
I have a few things to get out of my head, which should be done by the end of the day (tomorrow at the latest), and then I'm back on Colm's big fight.
Hope ya'll had a good weekend and have a peaceful week incoming.
