Otter Chat: What a month!

Hello everyone! Otterly here with a... well, can't call it a "quick" update, now can I? Going to be a bit hefty.

Today's post marks a HUGE landmark for me. The story that got this Patreon page rolling, Becoming Monsters: In The Mirror, has come to the end of Book 1. Attached is a PDF of the rough draft manuscript for the full book in PDF, and other formats will be available on request. This is what was posted here, with light edits and gathered together for easier reading. It will be published properly later, but will take a lot more editing to do so. Enjoy!

So, next month won't have an In The Mirror post. You may ask, "what's going to be on the Fourth Friday, then?" If you do, then I have an answer for you. I have two one-shot side stories that I'm whipping up in the Becoming Monsters universe and starting a new collection. The One Shot Stories will have the little ideas, random thoughts, and brief commissions. Chapter one will be a commission, about a Batfolk Enchanter who makes sex toys. Chapter two, I'm writing for a Literotica contest, and will be about a guy whose Class is built around manipulating his Luck stat. I love both ideas, and am working on both now as ideas present themselves.

Next week is Fifth Friday. Public locations are not getting any content, but you all are getting Quaranteam chapter 11 so you can get to know Esther a bit better. The other authors have called me evil for it... including Bronan, which should concern me.

Speaking of. THREE of the Quaranteam authors (Loki, Bronan, and Birches) have joined the Becoming Monsters team! They are working on their stories under my guidance. TheNyxianLily, who can be found on Literotica, AO3, and on Patreon, is several chapters into putting out her own tale (Blood and Chlorophyll). One more is several chapters into a rough draft. Next update will have links.

What else? Oh, right. Those of you with WIP access will notice something new. For the first time since AiLovesToGrow suffered her stroke, I have completed an initial draft chapter of In The Mirror. It's number 54 in the folder. WIP Patrons can see them all. The Discord community is growing as well, so if you're not there already then send a message to get a link!

As usual, I remain on deck to answer questions.
