So did you get the contract?

I figured I should make a public announcement, I've taken my stories offline to apply for exclusive contracts since I am missing income after I've moved, while I recognize a great deal of you liked to read my stories, that like is, in my personal opinion, outweighed by my need to pay rent and the loans I made to afford this place.
          
          With that aside, I would still like to thank you all for the support you have shown me over the years, and I am saddened that it had to come to this.

What happend to your stories???

I'm back!
          I moved to a new apartment 2 weeks ago, doing all the chaos I lost access to my account, that along with boot SSD dying along with windows and the fiber internet which I paid a lot of money for still not working and all the annoying issues that are otherwise associated with moving I only got around to fixing the problem with my Wattpad account now, sorry for the delay

This chat is a bit lonely but you do great work

I've uploaded the first chapter of the new book, Flightless Fighter pilot, I've decided not to monetize the book via Ko-fi, so it'll be entirely free to read.
          
          As for the upload schedule, it'll be 2 chapters a week, one chapter Tuesday and one chapter Thursday

I figured that it's time to give an update on my current project, first of the progress is proceeding smoothly, and I am currently working on chapter 32 out of what will be around a 40ish chapter story, as for an ETA I can't really say, but I would like to say about month to a month and a half from now that it'll be ready for publishing

Hi, I would like to talk a bit more about my new project, but instead of ranting about it, like I usually do I will present the facts in a couple of points
          1. The new story is set in the same world as Tank system, this is not to 'take over' that world, but expand it
          2. It also features a world traveler as MC, this isn't Merlin (the MC of Tank system) but they will interact
          3. Well, it says it in the point number, Tank system 3 is happening after this book
          4. There's already about 10 chapters done (I am still working on the 10th and chapter 1 needs some revisions) which is a little slow compared to my previous projects
          5. As for how this will be published, let me be very clear on this: the entire main story will be free, but there'll be paid side stories. The story will be published on multiple sites with a chapter a week
          6. As for when, that is still to be decided and will depend on my writing speed

          For the 2nd point, a new project… I know, a lot of people are expecting me to continue Tank system, but to be frank, I don’t think it’s possible to continue or finish the story, as much as I would like to finish it I seem to have developed a mental block to it… I won’t kill off the idea of a 3rd book entirely just yet, as I am working on my metal blocks in psychiatric treatment.
          
          
          The 3rd point, I’ve talked with my twin brother (Who also writes in a web-novel style) about working out a business model, so we could get paid by our supporters while still making the story widely available for free WITHOUT having to sign a contract that either limits the novel to one site or makes no money and in both cases makes the writer give up the copy right, it will likely be made possible on Ko-fi, but I won’t disclose all the details until I’ve made significantly more progress on the new project, though I will post updates as I get further along with writing.

          Hi! Happy (Late) New Year!
          First off, I would like to apologize for my recent silence, this is going to be a rather long statement so for all those with short attention spans (Or don’t want to read a wall of text) here’s the short version in 3 points:
          
          1: Skeletal Dragon Avatar is dead (specifics further down)
          2: I am working on a new project, which will be released when I’ve finished the first 50K words
          3: I am thinking about doing a new business model, which hopefully will motivate me to write more and faster
          
          So regarding the first point, in December I signed a contract with a site that I won’t disclose, mostly for contract reasons, I made a post a few months ago explaining why I signed, but there’s a reason I left out, I wanted to do test myself to see if I could treat my stories like a commercial product, this of course wasn’t fair to you guys and I sincerely apologize for that, to sum up the experience: It was like smashing a glass bottle over my own head and then eating the glass shards… Yep… I won’t be doing that ever again, of course it didn’t help that they paid me less than a single USD for about 3000 chapter sales and never paid me the signing bonus that was promised, so I’ve decided to let the story die since I can’t afford a lawyer to only maybe get my copyright back, and I sure as fuck are not going to keep writing on a contracted story financially benefiting a company that is actively screwing over not just me, but countless other writers.
