Convergent Realities - Chapter Three - Market Day

It's been awhile since I posted the first two chapters of this. It's a story I'd like to continue, when I have time. If you take the time to read, I'd appreaciate it if you'd let me know if the int...

DD - Chapter 47 - A day on the Town

This was done hours ago, but I got distracted by Terarria before posting, sorry.

Trying to get DD back to every six days, instead of nine, we'll see if it works out.

TBoB - Book 2 - Chapter 53 - The Rumble Pit

The first indication that the shit hit the fan was that Bob sent out an emergency signal, requesting reinforcements. That caused the bears and I to break out into a run, resulting...

TBoB - Chapter 52 - Getting the Band Back Together

I expected the relentless Antithesis attack to peter out after a little while. What I didn’t expect was for it to end suddenly, when a wave of gray liquid, multi-colored lasers, and arrows with f...

The Wicked Witch of the Wild West - Update

Now that I'm not doing TBoB and DD back to back, I have a little more time for my other projects. I updated WWotWW, so end of the first chapter flows better, and added a second chapter for people t...

TBoB - Book 2 - Chapter 51 - A boring job - Humboldt POV

“So that’s why you shouldn’t use sonic munitions without proper preparation,” the woman beside me declared.

“Ummm… don’t take this the wrong way, I appreciate the com...

DD - Chapter 46 - Visiting the Stacks

As I mentioned in my last Dueling Dungeons post, I wasn't happy with where the story went. I was trying to do worldbuiling, without establishing a baseline, so I'm rewinding the story a little. I'...

Book 2 - Chapter 50 - Stonewalled 

Slightly shorter today, couldn't find enough words!

-----

“I guess they gave up on tactics,” I muttered as I crouched behind Bob. We only managed to make it about a hundr...

TBoB - Book 2 - Chapter 49 - The Root Run Deep

Although I thought I could get my troops up and running within a few minutes, I quickly found that pulling armor piercing quills embedded in solid metal was more than a little difficult. When I rea...

TBoB - Book 2 - Chapter 48 - Deep in the ground

Note:

Numbers are probably going in the postscript, since Teddy doesn't want to know small numbers, but some readers do.

It took a while to find our way back to Jesse and W...

TBoB - Book 2 - Chapter 47 - Counter Strike

Despite the warning, I was nearly caught out of position as the tunnel was completely filled with antithesis. A wave of Model Threes, pressed together so tightly they were pract...

Bonus - The Wicked Witch of the Wild West

I'm still on a break from DD. I tried to get a chapter done, and just couldn't get it finished, but should be able to round it out for the next release. In the mean time, my discord chat and I did ...

TBoB - Book 2 - Chapter 46 - A Sticky Situation

Sorry this was posted so late - finished it later yesterday, and then immediately got distracted with a new story idea. My bad.

“I fucking hate this,” I mumbled as I wiped...

TBoB - Book 2 - Chapter 45 - Crisis Management (Humboldt PoV)

Book 2 - Chapter 45 - Crisis Management (Humboldt PoV)

“What’s this,” I said as Isabelle shoved a tiny model into my hands. A model of myself.

“It’s fo...

TBoB - Today's Release

So, for those that haven't seen my RR page, I haven't released today's TBoB chapter.

I spent 12+ hours yesterday writing, and couldn't get a full chapter done. I released a couple shout out...

Book 2 - Chapter 44 - Circling The Target

This might change slightly before release tomorrow - Not sure if I want to do the reveal this early, but I also see this as a natural development... If Tina didn't ask the question, someone should....

Dueling Dungeons Temporary Hiatus

Just to let people here know, I will be taking a small hiatus from DD.

Although I WAS planning on taking a break in the next few weeks, I wasn't planning for it to happen so soon. Truth is, ...

TBoB - Book 2 - Chapter 43 - The labyrinth 

It only took me a couple seconds to get a hold of Whisperer and Tina, it was as simple as connecting to one of the bears and conveying what I knew. Contacting Broodmother and An...

DD - Chapter 57 - Return

Headache + writers block = :(

Slightly shorter because of it.

--------------

It took hours for the watch to inspect the premises, check over the victims, and take our statements. ...

TBoB - Book 2 - Chapter 42 -  Cavern Crawlers

Although I’d seen images I didn’t realize exactly how uniform, and confusing, the tunnel network actually was. Even with Bandit leading the way towards the nearest hollow, I decided early on to...

DD - Chapter 56 - The Watch

“Where were you?” Kass asked as I ran back. “I thought you were watching our backs.” She and Calliope had pretty much all the people out of their cages, and they were performing triage on t...

TBoB - Book 2 - Chapter 41 - Last Minute Prep

“So you think the entrance will be able to hold if we all enter the mines?” Whisperer asked, as she came and sat down next to me. “I don’t want to leave Tina and Jesse alone, but I’m conc...

DD - Chapter 55 - Blood and Misery

Lanivia stormed through the portal, causing the tear to ripple, before I came to my senses and followed the rest of our small group through. The other end of the rift dropped me on the roof of some...

Book 2 - Chapter 40 - Giving Advice

Borrowed an old laptop from the family yesterday, so I can get writing again (Huzzah!) It's somehow slower than my chromebook, but at least it's provides me with a stop-gap for a week or two, until...

Next chapters delayed

Hey all,

Just so you know I didn't forget to post the chapters yesterday and today... What happened is my Chromebook failed while I was writing the latest TBoB chapter.

Unfortunately, t...

DD - Chapter 54 - Broken Wings

“Can you talk to her? Maybe find out what happened to the girls?” Kass asked, holding the injured animal out to me.

“I wish I could, but I can’t,” I replied as I carefull...

Book 2 - Chapter 39 - New Guests

“... and then they didn’t even attack my position, so now I’m going in after them,” I finished. I might have been ranting a little bit, but I’m pretty sure I managed to inform Whisperer a...

DD - Chapter 53 - Code Yellow

As we came back up the stairs I was surprised to find the central atrium full of people milling around. Before I could ask anyone what was happening, Calliope came running up to K...

TBoB - Book 2 - Chapter 38 - Dead Ends

“How fucking expansive is this tunnel system,” I mumbled. I was currently sitting on an old, decommissioned piece of mining equipment, reviewing the area the squirrels had mapped so far. I orde...
