The Dad Joke Guy

I'm writing this out at work because I don't wanna forget when I get home, so apologies if this is too brief. Also, Renegades was a lot of fun, highly recommend it.
          
          - Chains of Andromeda| Can now be read in its entirety, including the epilogue. Still in the honeymoon phase, but this is looking to be one of my favorites again
          
          - Torch of Prometheus| Prologue is in progress as of writing this, hopefully done before the month is out
          
          - Dredgen| Revelations courtesy of Renegades means some slight alterations to the motivations of the villain, but not enough to change the basic idea of the story. Eve will return when the first chapter of Torch of Prometheus is up
          
          - Reconstruction| Ohm will return after a bit, I'm eager to get back to Eves story first

I'm reinstating notifications, and I'm putting this out early because I expect to be taking a momentary hiatus when Renegades launches for Destiny 2, so plan your reading time accordingly.
          
          - Chains of Andromeda| Chapter 14 is available, with chapter 15 beginning work after I finish a blurb for a friend. Once again, we're in the final 2-3 chapter stretch of the story, so you know what that means;
          
          - Torch of Prometheus| The final days of the Promethean war are rife with conflict and suffering, and many lives will be lost and/or changed irrevocably in pursuit of survival, not victory. Based on the story of the 2012 Transformers Fall of Cybertron game, expect it to be a grand story with an ending you may not expect 
          
          - Dredgen| Now it's Evelyns turn to go on momentary hiatus until Chains of Andromeda is finished, but she'll be back once the first chapter of Torch of Prometheus is up
          
          - Reconstruction| Chapter 8 is available as of writing this, though Ohm is once again taking a break while I put the finishing touches on Chains of Andromeda

It's an exciting time for those of us in the writing room as we get ready to start a new story; and by us, I mean me and Willy. But first, some housekeeping-
          
          - Discord| It's unfortunate news, but it needed to happen at some point. I'm deprecating the @/Comrade role until further notice, as it's progressively seeing less use, and I'm frankly running out of exciting things to stream. It'll return at some point, but for now there's no more ride along streams
          
          - Chains of Andromeda| Still on hiatus, but it'll be back in action soon
          
          - Obsidian| The story is now complete, including the epilogue, and can be read in its entirety. I've really enjoyed this story, and I especially love how the epilogue sets up the next story. Speaking of;
          
          - Dredgen| First chapter is in the works, hopefully it'll be ready before the month is out 
          
          - Reconstruction| Once the first chapter of Dredgen is out, I'll begin work on the next chapter of Reconstruction, which has, in my opinion, been on hold for too long

Mondays always just seem to be rough. Used to be a morning person, don't know why that changed after I finished high school, but oh well; here's what I've got for you so far 
          
          - Chains of Andromeda| Chapter 13 is available as of writing this, and the story has been put on temporary hold until Obsidian can be finished up. Speaking of;
          
          - Obsidian| Chapter 8 is up as of writing this, only 3 more chapters to go. I'll be working back and forth between Obsidian and blurbs for Eves story in the current Destiny story, so keep an eye out for those
          
          - Dredgen| Outline is ready for this story, all I need is to get out the epilogue of Obsidian and this story can get started
          
          - Reconstruction| Still on hiatus, but it'll be back once Dredgen is up and running

Been a little busy with projects elsewhere, along with a new update for Halo Infinite and a newfound appreciation for Minecraft, but I still find time to get that damned monkey to slap the typewriter around
          
          - Chains of Andromeda| Chapter 12 is available as of writing this, with the next chapter to be worked on after I finish the outline for the next story
          
          - Dredgen| We've officially reached the last 2-3 chapters of the current WIP, so work has begun on the outline of this story, hopefully completed before the month is out. Dredgen will follow the story of Evelyn on a mission of espionage, Drifters antics and teaching a New Light the ropes of being a Guardian
          
          - Obsidian| Chapter 7 is available as of writing this, and it's probably gonna be a sprint to the finish line with this one after the next chapter of Chains of Andromeda
          
          - Reconstruction| This story has been put on a momentary hiatus while I work on the Dredgen outline and work to finish Obsidian, so it'll be back once the first chapter of Dredgen is up

Putting this out early because I'm planning on taking a small hiatus for the release of The Edge of Fate for Destiny 2, so I'll go over the big stuff first
          
          - Socials| I've been using both Wattpad and Instagram ever since I started writing properly about 5 years ago, back when Night Come Down and Evelyns Expeditions was the best of my ability. Unfortunately, there's just not a lot of audience over there, and it's a hassle to keep up with so many platforms. That in mind, the following changes will happen; **Instagram, Twitter and BlueSky will no longer recieve these monthly updates, and Wattpad will not recieve any new stories once __Reconstruction, Obsidian and Chains of Andromeda__ are complete**. Once those stories are done, Wattpad will also no longer recieve monthly updates. It won't be shut down, but all the content will still be viewable. My only platforms from then on will be Discord and AO3.
          
          - Chains of Andromeda| Chapter 11 will begin work after the hiatus, and an additional chapter has been added to the outline, bringing the planned total to 17
          
          - Obsidian| Chapter 6 is available to read as of writing this, featuring further insights into the plans of Orazis and Siviks
          
          - Reconstruction| Chapter 8 will begin work after the next chapter of Chains of Andromeda is written

Time flies by out in the real world, but writing somehow manages to slow time to an agonizing crawl, especially when writers block hits. Even so, some work was done
          
          - Chains of Andromeda| Chapter 10 is live as of a little while ago, with the next chapter beginning work sometime next month
          
          - Obsidian| Chapter 5 is beginning work as of writing this, and I'm considering shoehorning in another chapter, just to explore the dynamic between Ada and Eve, but that remains to be seen
          
          - Reconstruction| Chapter 7 is live as of a day or so ago at the time of writing, and I gotta say that I'm pretty happy with how this most recent one turned out; it features the appearance of yet another legacy character that will be taking a more active role in Ohm and Kashs story

I can safely say Willy has made a full recovery and is even putting on weight, so I'm officially putting the server back in full swing
          
          Chains of Andromeda| I'll be working on Chapter 10 shortly after this goes live, so expect that soon
          
          Obsidian| Chapter 4 is live as of writing this, with the next chapter beginning work later next month 
          
          Reconstruction| This story has been on hold long enough; after the next chapter of Chains of Andromeda and after a personal project, I'll begin work on chapter 7

I'm making this change now, because I'm not gonna wanna do it later and then try and explain myself after the fact if something happens
          
          Willy, my cat of almost 20 years, seems to have had a stroke and isn't holding up so well. As of right now, he still has the strength to climb up and down my bed to get water and still has an appetite, he just seems lethargic and has an unusual roundness to his head that wasn't there this morning
          
          He has been here in my life longer than he hasn't, been with me through more things than anyone else and has already survived against two different tumors/cysts on his face. I liked to joke that he's gotta make it officially to 20 by July, that's when his contract expires... But, I fear he may not make it
          
          With that, I'm making the following alterations; for this server, no notifications will be going up for written works until further notice, all public streams will be halted and all non-Tyranny of Matter and non-Destiny stories will be put on hold, as well as collaborative materials such as blurbs, until further notice. 
          
          Additionally, all additions to ongoing stories will go live at the same time on all platforms, encompassing Discord, Wattpad and AO3; no more staggered releases
          
          Lastly, you may hear from me less if the worst befalls Willy. You can still reach out to me if you feel so inclined, but I will seldom reach out first
          
          Thank you all, every one of you, for listening and for your patience

Next month is looking to grant me more free time with some volunteering obligations finally out of the way, but until then, here's what I've gotten done in the past 30 days
          
          Chains of Andromeda| Chapter 8 is in progress as of writing this, featuring the return of a character I literally have not written in almost 5 years
          
          Obsidian| Chapter 1 is live, written as a follow-up to the prologue and acting as an origin story for a Destiny character I've been working on for 2-3 years 
          
          Reconstruction| Chapter 6 is live as of the end of February, and I gotta say I'm pretty pleased with the characterization of Lens; I wasn't sure how I was going to express emotions on a droid without a head, let alone a face, but I think it's working out
