CHAPTER ART & UPDATES

Howdy folks,

My son was born on July 26th! If you're curious, he came out 100% healthy and everyone is doing well.

Above, you'll see that we have the first Patreon commission. Paraphrasing, but the choice was "Everyone in FF diving towards the Pit boss at the end of book 2." I think it's fantastic, and I hope that you do as well.

Now, some of the most observant of you with keen memories may notice something slightly off here. Arlo has wings in the image. However, Arlo did not receive his wings until the beginning of book 3. Yeah, I sort of forgot about that until the comm was all done and delivered. After realizing the minor continuity error, I looked at the image and thought "well, it's fucking awesome, so who cares?"

As a reminder, RR is currently paused until August 18 with the exception of the occasional update and such. As for the voted-upon addendums, my original plan was to have those drop during this interim as they were written. However, the Ayamari addendum has ended up being quite intertwined with what Arlo is up to. Pubbing it before you all see what Arzia's leading beard & boa enthusiast has going on would probably result in something that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Patreon chose Papa Junior, and the Ravvenblaq crafter might have a scene that's more temporally flexible. It depends on whether we go in one of a couple directions we have mapped out. We'll see.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

We also have a shoutout below for a fic called Brand of the Bloodheir. This one's got a pretty serious, dark tone with more of a classic fantasy flavor to the writing style. MC's a straight-up royal assassin, raised to murder for the king and has zero compunctions about it. Then he gets some forbidden magic and shit, things go a bit off the rails, and then it's 5 am and you've burned through twelve chapters. I lost a few hours on this one after I cracked it open when I probably should have been doing something more productive, but it was pretty engaging and fuck it who needs sleep when there's shit to read?

Anyway, thanks again to everyone for reading and all your support.

Hope you're having a premium edition week!
