So we have lost, a lot of people over the last couple of weeks. We're at an all time low for the last like 6 to 8 months.
The question has come up and been talked about in my groups and I've come to the conclusion that at this point it is h...
The end of the Arc is here and a lot of moves are suddenly made, next chapter starts on a new tone. Tomorrow I'll be hosting a poll of sorts to see what people thought of this arc and see if it could be improved by a quick few weeks of redo or if ...
2025-03-08 02:53:22 +0000 UTC View PostSo I had a Patron explain earlier why they didn't super like the Arc so far, as I've been wondering. I figured 'this is an unexpected shift' or 'I just don't have interest in other worlds' was a likely culprit of the lost patrons, and you know it'...
2025-03-06 03:08:57 +0000 UTC View PostThree big notes before I post here.
1. Lost a lot of patrons recently. It's not a big deal, and I somewhat expected it when I went full AU on us. This was always planned, and even foreshadowed, but I could see why some people might not find it ...
Sakura being horrendously out of her depth has always been one of my favorite parts of the story and even if I don't think this arc is portraying quite the way I wanted, I will say her being out of her depth has been a constant and fun theme. I th...
2025-02-28 21:21:42 +0000 UTC View Post116: Mostly just changed some wordings, cleaned things up, made it feel better. Some stress was taken off Pt 3 to make the Karin sequence a little more palatable without detracting from the potency of the scene.
117: I added like 400 words o...
2025-02-28 10:07:40 +0000 UTC View PostSo, in the original draft of this there was a very obscure and incredibly nerdy joke in the first part. I realized almost no one would get it, so I made it even more obscure, meaning either you don't get the joke, but you get to laugh at Sakura be...
2025-02-26 00:26:25 +0000 UTC View PostSome much needed expo is given in the form of Sakura studying and then some drop in.
It's what she does best, it'd be weird if she was presented with this much context and didn't open a book.

2025-02-25 15:57:15 +0000 UTC View PostAnother canon side story is here.
Poll will be up for $10 patrons for the next one in a bit, since I am behind those polls just go right out.
Enjoy the side story and thank you for your support.

2025-02-23 13:46:31 +0000 UTC View PostSo here we are, Friday's chapter.
I also have the side story done which'll be posted later today.
My beta says this chapter felt good, it's "hitting its stride." So you know, there's some confidence for you.
Enjoy, and thank you for th...
2025-02-22 12:14:10 +0000 UTC View PostSakura's in a bit of a place, and working her way out of it is half the fun.
Getting into it is of course also a part of the fun.
Some of the fun just gets lost in the wind, I don't know what to say.
Enjoy!

2025-02-19 03:39:48 +0000 UTC View PostThis one was voted on by everyone! Because I messed up.
If you'd like to participate in future polls, feel free to join the $10 tier.
Now's actually a fantastic time to do that because I am behind and feeling good so I'm going to be doing li...
One of the things I actually put a lot of effort into in this story is making the negative chapters not feel bad. My Beta has helped a lot with that recently, I really appreciate it.
As for the chapter, eh... Doesn't it suck when someone co...
And with this chapter we kick off an entirely new arc. Technically last chapter started it but this is like, the important intro.
I think it's important to recognize when a tone has shifted, and ensure that shift has value. This is me recognizi...
So I've been setting up the arc we've just entered for, probably six months now.
Technically there's been other stuff before that but the active efforts, six months.
And I always thought I'd have figured out exactly how to do it by the t...
Hey it's my birthday, I'm gonna comply with everyone's demands and celebrate instead of writing tonight. So chapter'll probably be a day late.
Have a good day ya'll.
So to avoid overfocusing on them, the story officially assumes you've either read the side story: "Otherworlders: Fierro was killed by a little girl?"...
2025-02-08 00:51:18 +0000 UTC View PostThis chapter is a big one. This is technically a potential quit point. It's a little jarring by nature, but I like this and I think anyone who would be hit too hard by this scene was already hit far earlier.
I worked with my b...
So I don't normally do these but I kind of screwed up and made the poll public. I asked the two $10 patrons in the discord what to do about this and they said to just count their votes double, and since the one not on discord didn't comment I'm as...
2025-02-03 16:36:34 +0000 UTC View Post109: Mostly just changed some wordings and made things clearer.
110: I changed a lot of wordings, made a lot of things clearer, the flashback sequence is less jarring.
111: Mostly just fixed wordings, some of them were confusing. This ...
2025-02-03 16:24:39 +0000 UTC View PostA lot is coming together here, and while it's not 100% how my outline originally intended this to go, I actually like this more. It's close. I had planned for a bit more in between but this is already long enough and the feeling is the same as I i...
2025-02-01 00:07:34 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, just two weeks behind again. Weirdly enough that's progress. Considering how busy I've been the past few weeks, how much work I've had to make up, and that the current actual chapter parts are on the more intense, important, content heavy...
2025-01-31 03:40:06 +0000 UTC View PostThis side story has been kind of done for a while now. The Beta didn't like it, then I didn't like it, then they were busy and then I was busy.
Anyway, little awkward but I think I got it to a point where it functions. I think I've made all...
Some Chekhov's guns went off here.
Possibly more than I realized... Either way, have fun.

2025-01-27 18:25:55 +0000 UTC View PostAs always, writing this arc is fun.
I contemplated switching the order of the scenes because the timeline is off a little bit and it feels a little awkward having the Gaara alert scene right after the Sakura scene, it would have definitely f...
2025-01-25 08:11:20 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a little confusing because mindswap is confusing to describe. I think I made it clearish, but uh, yeah I had fun here.
This takes place during the 2 months of "Village Arrest" Enjoy!

2025-01-24 13:40:32 +0000 UTC View Post“The carnage you caused is truly unheard of for two people inside their own village.” The Hokage’s voice scolds them harshly, and she can’t help but feel herself wilt a little.
She’d like to point out that Itachi definitely caused ...

But today's special as last chapter ended on a huge moment.
