Hello lovely patrons!
First and foremost, as I said on tumblr, modding progress will slow in the next month. I started a new book which will likely end up being my third (published work, that is). This is taking up a lot of my time and focus...

Hello patrons! Sorry for the lack of mods recently. I started a new book which has taken up a lot of my time, but it isn't fair to you that my productivity in modding has slackened. Thus I really went at working on SS tonight and have some news. 2021-07-10 06:44:56 +0000 UTC View Post

Thanks!
