Three Square Meals Ch. 196 (Placeholder)
🕑 Added 2025-08-01 07:24:02 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
I'm creating a single placeholder for this month. I'll start work immediately on the next chapter, so I'm hoping to finally make some progress on the backlog, and get the next one out to you as soon as possible.
I just deleted the previous post because Patreon has redesigned the entire post creation interface, and the post wasn't charged.
Best wishes,
Tefler

Stop the placeholders.

Yeah, mine's been at that for a long time now. Additionally, I'm about to unsub (it's Aug 31 today) and won't resub until there's a complete chapter. I've paid my dollar for every one of the complete chapters over the past couple years, and not a dollar extra.

I dropped mine to $1.00 as well and one payment a month.

Paladin, one needs him to define what "as soon as possible" means lately. Seems his British definition is in variance with the American one.

Drumroll………. The question today is whether Tefler continue his providing a partial chapter or catch up on the backlog. My hope is catch up, the reality is most likely a partial and placeholders. I previously dropped my monthly contribution to $1.00, I would suggest doing the same for everyone else here.

Predictable, if nothing else

I'm thinking this month we will get 2 placeholders, no content, and a lame excuse that basically means a middle finger to all the loyal followers who haven't abandoned ship. I've basically given up hope on ever seeing real story progress again. Still, there is a little hope left. I really, REALLY hope I am wrong.

‘Start work immediately’ means August 31. All time words mean last day of month.

I am a big fan of E.E. "Doc" Smith's lensman series (and his Skylark one), and I see what you mean. I was looking at another site recently, and they mentioned a genre of story I hadn't clocked myself ... and that was the transformational/leveling up genre. It describes, I think, stories where the hero keeps on growing more powerful. In Smith's Skylark series it was with ever higher order of "beams" or "rays", and obviously in TSMs it is Dana's technology.

Yeah, I pretty much skip over the sex. "You're huge and you've got 4 balls!" We know. Enough.

Suggestions, if you don’t mind, Tefler: Find synonyms for “amazing”. A word that’s used too often gets tiresome. Find alternates for “I’ve never seen anything like it” and “you have nothing to apologize for”. The term “sitting duck” is unlikely to be used by non-Terrans. The same goes for “cat got your tongue” and maybe for “break the ice”. As a writer myself, I often Google words to find synonyms, In some ways, your space opera reminds me of “Doc” Smith’s Lensman series. Very enjoyable.
